We systematically searched eight databases for relevant randomised controlled trials. A total of 22 studies with 1438 samples were included. A pairwise meta\u2010analysis indicated that exercise interventions across all intensities were associated with improvements in internet addiction, anxiety and negative moods, with moderate\u2010intensity additionally improving depression. The results of the network meta\u2010analysis suggested that light\u2010intensity exercise (SMD\u2009=\u2009\u22122.61, 95% CI [\u22124.29, \u22120.93],\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.002), moderate\u2010intensity exercise (SMD\u2009=\u2009\u22122.74, 95% CI [\u22124.25, \u22121.22],\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.0001) and high\u2010intensity exercise (SMD\u2009=\u2009\u22122.55, 95% CI [\u22124.88, \u22120.22],\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.032) may be associated with a reduction in adolescents' internet addiction. Only moderate\u2010intensity exercise may be associated with a reduction in depression (SMD\u2009=\u2009\u22121.19, 95% CI [\u22122.20, \u22120.18],\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.021) and anxiety (SMD\u2009=\u2009\u22121.90, 95% CI [\u22123.50, \u22120.30],\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.02); light\u2010intensity and high\u2010intensity exercise were not significantly associated with a reduction in depression and anxiety. Light\u2010intensity exercise (SMD\u2009=\u2009\u22121.63, 95% CI [\u22122.85, \u22120.41],\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.009) and moderate\u2010intensity exercise (SMD\u2009=\u2009\u22121.55, 95% CI [\u22122.56, \u22120.54],\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.003) may be associated with reductions in other negative moods. According to the probability ranking of the likelihood of the optimal intervention effect, moderate\u2010intensity exercise (SUCRA\u2009=\u200971) ranked highest for interventions in adolescents' internet addiction, depression (SUCRA\u2009=\u200970.2), anxiety (SUCRA\u2009=\u200968.4) and light exercise (SUCRA\u2009=\u200967.9) ranked highest for negative moods. However, owing to the limitations of sample size and the quality of individual studies, the strength of evidence needs to be further validated by more standardised, high\u2010quality studies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/adb.70172","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,7]],"date-time":"2026-07-07T01:16:41Z","timestamp":1783387001000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Effects of Different Exercise Intensities on Internet Addiction in Adolescents and Young Adults: A Systematic Review and Network Meta\u2010Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Min","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Education Hunan University of Arts and Science  Changde China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanyuan","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Education and Health Engineering Taiyuan University of Technology  Taiyuan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haobo","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Education and Health Engineering Taiyuan University of Technology  Taiyuan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wuyang","family":"Mao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Education Hunan University  Changsha China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","volume-title":"Statistics","author":"International Telecommunication Union","year":"2015"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2021.48995"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0283634"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychires.2022.06.049"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2022.04.115"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-11-802"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4088\/JCP.15m10447"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2024.08.064"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-024-19226-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2021.698748"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2023.1310213"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2020.01296"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbmt.2022.02.019"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","first-page":"50","article-title":"Study on the Mechanism of Action, Impact and Strategy of Exercise Intervention on Internet Addicted Adolescents","volume":"41","author":"Ma P.
