Abstract |
|
The studys objectives were to ascertain the volume of television sports programming watched by college students in Jordanian universities as well as how these programs influenced their understanding of physical fitness. This was accomplished by using a survey method on 400 students from Yarmouk University and Zarqa University, who made up an equally stratified sample. The findings showed that men watch more television sports programming than women. Additionally, people who regularly exercise tend to watch these programs more than those who do not exercise at all. The results also showed that Yarmouk University students, as opposed to students at Al-Zarqa University, had a greater understanding of physical fitness due to the large part of television sports programs. Additionally, these programs have a more significant impact on influencing students in scientific colleges knowledge of physical health than they do on students in art colleges. Furthermore, compared to people who dont engage in any physical activities, they have a more significant impact on forming this awareness in people who regularly exercise. The findings also showed that the importance of television sports programs in influencing participants awareness of physical health increased with the participants intensity of watching.
