Proprioceptive motor education strategies based on the Sincrony model for adolescents with high digital screen exposure

This study explores the effectiveness of proprioceptive-focused motor education strategies based on the Sincrony movement model for adolescents with high digital screen exposure. Sixty adolescents were selected and divided based on their average daily screen usage. According to the World Health Organization and the American Academy of Pediatrics, the upper limit for screen time is set at two hours in day. Based on this criterion, the students were divided into two groups. Both groups participated in an eight-week proprioceptive motor training program integrated into physical education classes, with 30 minutes of exercise twice a week. Cognitive functions and physical activity levels were tested at baseline and post-intervention. The results indicated improvements in both groups, but the control group showed significantly greater improvements in cognitive functions compared to the experimental group. Proprioceptive motor education strategies benefit all students, but those with lower screen exposure show faster and more significant cognitive improvements.
