“…This finding pointed out that individuals paid more attention to their physiological and psychological status than the physical image to be reflected others. Even if studies conducted underlined that external factors are more important in physical activity participation (Asma and Gencer, 2019;Esatbeyoğlu & Karahan, 2014;Gümüş et al, 2017;Payan et al, 2019;El-Bagoury et al, 2017); it was found that individual and personal factors are more important for the students (Guler & Turkmen, 2018) who studied sports sciences; which -we think-may have resulted from their knowledge level about physical activity acquired at their academic departments. The relevant studies reported that as people's knowledge level about physical activity, exercise, and training increases, so does their participation in physical activities (Hanna et al, 2017;Ross & Melzer, 2016;Chen et al, 2017;Santiago et al, 2016).…”

The purpose of this research was to examine participation in physical activity and social media addiction among university students. A total of 462 university students from 3 different universities voluntarily participated in the study. In the study, the "Motivation Scale for Participation in Physical Activity" and "Facebook addiction scale" were used as data collection tools. In the study, the independent sample t-test and One-way ANOVA test were applied for normally distributed data depending on the number of variables. Also, correlation analysis and regression analysis were used. According to the simple linear regression analysis conducted to determine the effect of motivation on participation in physical activity on social media addiction, it was determined that the model established was statistically significant (F=70.305; p<0.05) and the ratio of explanation of the dependent variable by the independent variable was R2=0.182. It was determined that the most important factor that motivates students to participate in physical activity is individualistic reasons. Individualistic reasons were followed by environmental and causality factors, respectively. The results of the study show that students' participation in physical activity and social media addiction was not significantly differ in terms of their gender.
