Abstract

The technological revolution has brought several positive aspects to the development of society, however, it has also generated various challenges associated with the so-called technoaddictions, among which is the dependence on the mobile phone, a type of technological addiction that limits the integral development of young students, among which is a decrease in physical activities. For this reason, the research aimed to determine the influence of mobile phone dependence on low physical activity in Peruvian university students. A quantitative, explanatory-causal research was followed, with a non-experimental design, which had as universe the National University of the Altiplano of Puno, with a student population for the academic period 2023-I of 18480 students, of which 384 were selected from a criteria-based sampling, to whom two instruments were applied. The results show that the influence of both Cox and Snell's Pseudo R2 test and Nagelkerke's dependence on mobile has an 86% impact on the low rate of physical activity. The conclusions highlight the urgent need to implement awareness-raising strategies and programs in educational institutions and universities to promote a balanced use of mobile devices.
