Abstract

Abstract

To examine the sporting habits of young adults, we compiled an online questionnaire, which in turn was shared on online social media platforms in order to gather as many fill outs as possible (N=481). From the responses only data from young adults were filtered out and processed in this study. Basic statistics, frequencies were calculated, and the Chi2 test was used to examine the correlations in the database. Our results confirmed that the preference of sporting venues and the motivation to exercise developed differently in terms of place of residence (village, city, capital). 31.5% of the rural population while only 17% of the urban respondents stated that they exercise at home, which showed a very strong significant difference (p = 0.000). 17.4% of urban respondents play sports in wellness centers, which is significantly higher than the proportion of rural respondents (8.7%). Urban young adults (18.4%) also prefer the associational form of sport over villagers (15.2%) (p <0.05). With regards to the sports motivation among those young people living in the capital, health and community, among those living in big cities fun, happiness and self-awareness, while those living in villages appearance and the expectations of others scored the highest.
