Abstract

Objective: It was aimed to investigate the relationship between online gaming addiction, core muscle endurance, and reaction time in adolescents. Methods: The study was designed as a descriptive-correlational study and was conducted with 67 adolescents who play online games daily. The Online Gaming Addiction Scale, core muscle endurance tests, and hand and foot reaction time tests were performed. Results: The overall score of the Online Gaming Addiction Scale was 64.79±17.38, which corresponds as moderate negative reflections on the individual's life. A statistically significant difference was observed in online gaming addiction (p<0.001) and hand reaction time (p=0.004) according to the daily time allocated to video games. There was a negative correlation between the score of Online Gaming Addiction Scale and the hand reaction time test (r=-0.588; p<0.001) and the trunk extension test (r= -0.335; p=0.006) of the core muscle endurance tests. Conclusion: It was observed that the hand reaction time performance of adolescents was significantly impacted by the time spent in online games. Besides that, online gaming addiction may have a detrimental impact on adolescents’ core muscle endurance.
