RECREATIONAL KINESIOLOGICAL ENGAGEMENT AND SELF-RESPECT IN STUDENTS OF DIFFERENT AGES

The purpose of this research was to establish the level of recreational kinesiological engagement and the level of selfrespect of the students at the University of Split, to detect the differences in the recreational kinesiological engagement and self-respect among the students of different ages, as well as in self-respect among students kinesiologically engaged in different recreational ways. The research was done on the sample of 1243 full-time students at the University of Split, aged 19-25, of 22.5 average age. Recreational kinesiological engagement was defined on four different extensity levels of engagement in free recreational activities. For self-respect assessment, we used standard ten-item Rosenberg’s scale of self-respect. Data collecting on kinesiological engagement and self-respect of the students was done by the mediation of the county’s Institute for Public Health with the approval, written authorisation and immediate participation of the authorising doctors and the Institute services. The results of research show that there is no statistically significant difference in the engagement in recreational kinesiological activities among the students of different ages, while there is in self-respect among the students of different ages. Furthermore, the research results reveal the existence of statistically significant differences in self-respect among the students engaged in different ways in recreational kinesiological activities, since the students with the higher level of kinesiological engagement also have a higher level of self-respect.
