The specific types and contexts of screen-based activities (TV, computers, mobile phones, video games) show differential associations with physical inactivity and health outcomes among adolescents, yet no integrated framework exists to distinguish which screen modalities most strongly predict reduced physical activity or how their combined effects operate.

Screen media time usage of 12–16 year‐old Spanish school adolescents: Effects of personal and socioeconomic factors, season and type of day (2008) · Journal of Adolescence · doi
Individual and socioeconomic moderators of the screen time–physical inactivity association in adolescents (such as school type, household technology access, age, and sex) have been identified descriptively but not systematically tested as moderators in the causal pathway between excessive screen time and physical inactivity.
