20.500.12556/RUL-180520 How effective is school social capital in promoting physical activity? a quantitative study in Croatian secondary schools Kako učinkovit je šolski socialni kapital pri spodbujanju telesne dejavnosti? kvantitativna študija v hrvaških srednjih šolah Social capital has received increased attention as a potential influence on the development of youth. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to examine the role of school social capital in promoting physical activity among secondary school students in Croatia. The sample included 317 adolescents (M=212; F=105) who were in their final year of secondary school from the four largest cities in the Republic of Croatia: Zagreb, Split, Osijek, and Rijeka. Participants were aged between 17 and 20 years (18.24 ±0.58). Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of three sections, carefully designed to cover all relevant aspects of the research. The relationship between physical activity and social capital was examined using logistic regression analysis. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05. The analysis reveals that participation in extracurricular or organized school activities is a statistically significant factor (p=0.01) that positively influences students' engagement in physical activity. Other variables of school social capital, including teacher-student interpersonal trust, students' interpersonal trust, students' collaboration, teachers' support, and students' relationships outside of school, did not show significant effects (p>0.05). In summary, these results suggest that students' participation in extracurricular or school activities can play a beneficial role in enhancing physical activity among adolescents. This is likely because such activities allow students to choose those they enjoy, which increases their motivation to engage. Additionally, participating in these activities often leads to improved relationships with others, as students connect with peers who share similar interests, further promoting an active and supportive environment. Socialni kapital pridobiva vse večjo pozornost kot potencialni dejavnik vpliva na razvoj mladostnikov. V skladu s tem je cilj te raziskave preučiti vlogo šolskega socialnega kapitala pri spodbujanju telesne dejavnosti med srednješolci na Hrvaškem. Vzorec je zajemal 317 mladostnikov (M=212; Ž=105) četrtih letnikov srednjih šol iz štirih največjih mest v Republiki Hrvaški: Zagreb, Split, Osijek in Reka. Udeleženci so bili stari od 17 do 20 let (18,24 ± 0,58). Podatki so bili zbrani s pomočjo vprašalnika, razdeljenega na tri dele, ki so bili skrbno zasnovani, da so zajeli vse relevantne vidike raziskave. Povezavo med telesno dejavnostjo in socialnim kapitalom smo analizirali z logistično regresijsko analizo. Raven statistične značilnosti je bila določena na p<0,05. Analiza je pokazala, da je vključevanje v obšolske ali organizirane šolske dejavnosti statistično značilen dejavnik (p=0,01), ki pozitivno vpliva na telesno dejavnost dijakov. Druge spremenljivke šolskega socialnega kapitala, vključno z medosebnim zaupanjem med profesorji in dijaki, medosebnim zaupanjem dijakov, sodelovanjem dijakov, podporo profesorjev in odnosi med dijaki zunaj šole, niso pokazale statistično značilnih razlik (p>0,05). Sklepno, ti rezultati kažejo, da ima lahko sodelovanje dijakov v izvenšolskih ali šolskih dejavnostih koristno vlogo pri izboljšanju telesne dejavnosti med mladostniki, kar je med drugim posledica možnosti izbire dejavnosti, ki jih zanimajo, in s tem povečanja njihove motivacije za sodelovanje. Nadalje, sodelovanje v teh dejavnostih pogosto vodi do izboljšanja medosebnih odnosov, saj se dijaki povezujejo z vrstniki s podobnimi interesi, kar dodatno spodbuja aktivno in podporno okolje. sport social capital physical activity health adolescents school šport socialni kapital telesna dejavnost zdravje mladostniki šola true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-03-11 08:46:12 2026-03-11 08:46:14 2026-03-24 15:45:36 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 5-20 no. 1 Vol. 31 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 796.01-053.6 1318-2269 10.52165/kinsi.31.1.5-20 238164739 01.+HOW+EFFECTIVE+IS+SCHOOL_180520.pdf 01.+HOW+EFFECTIVE+IS+SCHOOL_180520.pdf 1 DF9AC76E9FED77DACFF58AB8608DEE4F 13c395d38513710da7488522c4d417eff3df3e5ca2cb364d01d18d53e2ae5d0c 04e8ccc1-1d5c-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=230142 https://journals.uni-lj.si/kinsi/article/view/21555 0 f546bfc3-1d1d-11f1-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=229970 Fakulteta za šport Kinesiologia Slovenica 0 0 0
