Finally, the third research question of the present study concerns whether long-term use of electronic devices is responsible for reducing physical activity in students.
In order to prove the positive correlation between technology and musculoskeletal disorders but also to answer the above questions, a questionnaire was distributed online to one hundred and twenty students of A '\& B' Lyceum from all over Greece, which was promoted online. More specifically, the questionnaire included questions from two standard questionnaires, the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and the Nordic Muscuskeletal Questionnaire (NQS).In addition they completed a medical history and supplementary questions about their physical condition and the attitudes they adopt when using electronic devices.
