Abstract
According to the doctoral dissertation, the main goal of this scientific work is to determine
to what extent the kinesiology activity of adolescents is related to the use of digital applications for physical exercise. The aim was to determine whether the kinesiological activity of adolescents is conditioned by a positive attitude towards the use of digital applications for physical exercise and whether the kinesiological activity is related to the regional affiliation and social status of the family. Descriptive statistics, normality distributions, and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. In the area of the correlation plot, bivariate correlations were tested with the Pearson coefficient. In the area of the differential plot, one-way ANOVA was used, which, in case of impossibility, was replaced by the robust Welch test.
The level of statistical significance p<0.05 was used. In conclusion, it was established that the kinesiology activity of adolescents is significantly and positively related to the use of digital applications for physical exercise, with knowledge of the possibility of using applications for physical exercise, as well as a positive attitude towards using digital applications for physical exercise. Also, it was shown that there is a statistically significant difference in kinesiology activity depending on the regional affiliation. It is statistically significantly lower in Velika Gorica compared to Petrinja and Primorska Croatia with islands. Finally, the assumption that the family's social status is related to adolescents' kinesiology activity was not confirmed.
