Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between social network usage, sports participation, network addiction risk, and basic psychological needs (BPNs) satisfaction among university students. Results showed increased network addiction risk with higher usage time and more networks used. Collective sports were associated with higher addiction symptoms, while both individual and collective sports positively impacted BPN satisfaction. The findings suggest that excessive social media use predicts addiction risk, and that engaging in sports, especially individual sports, may mitigate this risk while fulfilling BPNs.
