The objectives of the present study were to analyze the adherence of normal weight and overweight/obese adolescents to intervention with mobile applications; to establish the differences in the evaluation of the mobile application and in the problematic use of the mobile phone between normal weight and overweight/obese adolescents; and to determine the relationship between the distance travelled, the evaluation of the mobile applications, and the conflictive use of the mobile phone. A quasi-experimental design was carried out with the participation of 70 adolescents between 12 and 16 years old (mean age: 14.25 ± 1.23 years old; 38 normal weight and 32 overweight/obese). The adolescents completed a 10-week intervention in which they used step tracker mobile applications for the promotion of physical activity, a minimum of three times per week. Problematic mobile phone use and adolescent ratings of the application used were measured. The results showed no significant differences in adolescents' adherence to the intervention according to the mobile application used ( = 0.191) or weight status ( = 0.202). In addition, significant differences were not found in the assessment of mobile applications within the group of overweight and obese adolescents: engagement ( = 0.471), functionality ( = 0.319), aesthetics ( = 0.378), information ( = 0.184), usability ( = 0.154), or perceived impact ( = 0.139), although differences were found in the assessment made by normal-weight adolescents in information ( = 0.029), usability ( = 0.029), and perceived impact ( = 0.044), where Pacer had better scores than Pokémon Go in the first two dimensions. No greater problematic mobile phone use was found after the intervention according to weight status ( = 0.311) nor the mobile application used ( = 0.985). It can be concluded that there is similar adherence among normal weight and overweight/obese adolescents to interventions with mobile applications to promote physical activity. It is noteworthy that adolescents, regardless of weight status, showed a positive perception towards the use of these mobile applications.
本研究的目的是分析正常体重和超重/肥胖青少年对移动应用程序干预的依从性；确定正常体重和超重/肥胖青少年在移动应用程序评价和手机问题使用方面的差异；并确定行走距离、移动应用程序评价和手机冲突使用之间的关系。进行了一项准实验设计，有70名12至16岁的青少年参与（平均年龄：14.25±1.23岁；38名正常体重，32名超重/肥胖）。青少年完成了为期10周的干预，在此期间他们使用步数追踪移动应用程序来促进身体活动，每周至少三次。测量了手机问题使用情况和青少年对所使用应用程序的评分。结果显示，根据所使用的移动应用程序（P = 0.191）或体重状况（P = 0.202），青少年对干预的依从性没有显著差异。此外，在超重和肥胖青少年组内，对移动应用程序的评价也没有发现显著差异：参与度（P = 0.471）、功能（P = 0.319）、美观性（P = 0.378）、信息（P = 0.184）、可用性（P = 0.154）或感知影响（P = 0.139），不过在正常体重青少年的评价中，在信息（P = 0.029）、可用性（P = 0.029）和感知影响（P = 0.044）方面发现了差异，在前两个维度上，Pacer的得分比《宝可梦Go》更好。根据体重状况（P = 0.311）或所使用的移动应用程序（P = 0.985），干预后未发现更多的手机问题使用情况。可以得出结论，正常体重和超重/肥胖青少年对促进身体活动的移动应用程序干预的依从性相似。值得注意的是，无论体重状况如何，青少年对这些移动应用程序的使用都表现出积极的看法。
