Among the negative consequences of video gaming disorder, decreased participation in sport and exercise has received little attention. This study aimed to assess the longitudinal association between video gaming disorder and the level of sport and exercise in emerging adult men. A questionnaire was completed at baseline and 15-month follow-up by a representative national sample of 4,933 respondents. The seven items of the Game Addiction Scale were used to construct a latent variable representing video gaming disorder. Level of sport and exercise was also self-reported. Cross-lagged path modeling indicated a reciprocal causality between video gaming disorder and the level of sport and exercise, even after adjusting for a large set of confounders. These findings support the need for better promotion of sport and exercise among emerging adults in order to contribute to the prevention of video gaming disorder, and to raise the level of sport and exercise activity in addicted gamers.
在电子游戏障碍的负面后果中，参与体育活动和锻炼的减少很少受到关注。本研究旨在评估新兴成年男性中电子游戏障碍与体育活动和锻炼水平之间的纵向关联。由4933名受访者组成的具有全国代表性的样本在基线和15个月随访时完成了一份问卷。使用游戏成瘾量表的七个项目构建了一个代表电子游戏障碍的潜在变量。体育活动和锻炼水平也是自我报告的。交叉滞后路径模型表明，即使在调整了大量混杂因素之后，电子游戏障碍与体育活动和锻炼水平之间仍存在相互因果关系。这些发现支持了有必要在新兴成年人中更好地推广体育活动和锻炼，以有助于预防电子游戏障碍，并提高成瘾玩家的体育活动和锻炼水平。
