This thesis focuses on physical activity within the population of adolescents and young adults aged between 15 and 30 years old. The professors and sport education teachers are expressing disappointment and feeling very unsatisfactory about the lack of motivation of young adults and their engagement in physical activity. Young adults, esoecially millennials, are being »deluded« with digitalization, which makes their and our lives much easier, but on the other hand, it leads us all to the »comfort zone« , making us lazy and reduces our will and motivation to physical activity. One of the main factors which affect maintaining good health and good quality of life is sports recreation, in other words, physical activity of any kind. It is crucial that as healthy society, we keep emphasizing the importance of physical activity, resulting in unburdening the healthcare system, in the long term. While reviewing the professional literature, we found that physical activity has a very beneficial effect on both physical and psychological health. In the thesis, we determined what motivates all young people between the ages of 15 and 30 to be physically active. We collected 91 respondents, through the online portal: 1ka.si, and based on the answers from the survey questionnaire, we came to the conclusion that young people do not exercise significantly enough according to the minimum recommendations of the World Health Organization. Through the entire thesis, we would like to raise awareness about the importance of physical activity, among the wider population, as well as the awareness of its positive effects on human health. |
