EUROBAROMETER – PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OF INHABITANTS OF THE AP VOJVODINA

Abstract

In this paper we have identified the characteristics of physical activity of inha¬bitants of the AP Vojvodina compared to their generation group. We used the Eurobarometer survey to test the sample comprising of 3,132 participants from major places in Vojvodina, which was divided into five generation sub-samples (aged from 15 to 24, from 25 to 39, from 40 to 54, from 55 to 69, and older than 70). The area of this study comprises four themes that are mutually linked in a meaningful way and that refer to attitudes of participants: 1) about the level and intensity of physical activity, 2) about the place of dealing with physical activity, 3) about motives for getting involved in physical activity, 4) about barriers for getting involved in physical activity. A significant difference in the four given subject topics between the five AP Vojvodina population generation subsamples has been determined based on the research results that is, the specific physical (in)activity of the local population (the APV) compared to the population of the European surrounding (the EU).
