Interaksi Struktur Sosial Dan Budaya Lokal Dalam Pengembangan Aktivitas Fisik Remaja: Perspektif Sosiologi Olahraga

Abstract

Adolescent physical activity in urban areas faces challenges due to changing social structures and cultural transformations. Makassar, a metropolitan city in Eastern Indonesia, boasts complex social dynamics as well as a rich local culture that has the potential to become a collective asset in developing physical activity. This study aims to analyze the interaction between social structures and local culture in shaping adolescent physical activity levels through a sociology of sport perspective. The study used a comparative quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 60 adolescents (30 with high local cultural internalization and 30 with low local cultural internalization). Data were collected using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF), a social structure scale (family, school, community, and city facility support), and a local cultural internalization scale. Data analysis included independent t-tests, Pearson correlations, and multiple regression. The results showed a significant difference in physical activity levels between the high and low cultural groups (t = 5.38; p < 0.001), with a mean of 3,215.50 MET-minutes/week in the high cultural group and 2,498.70 MET-minutes/week in the low cultural group. The correlation between local culture and physical activity was strong (r = 0.72), while social structure also showed a significant relationship (r = 0.68). The regression model explained 58% of the variation in physical activity (R² = 0.58; p < 0.001), with local culture (β = 0.46) contributing more than social structure (β = 0.34). It was concluded that adolescent physical activity in Makassar is a socio-cultural construct influenced by structural interactions and local values. Strategies for developing physical activity need to integrate community-based approaches and sustainable local cultural revitalization
