Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the relationship between the use of social media for health promotion and the level of physical activity of high school students in Kulon Progo Regency. This study uses an ex-post facto method with a population of high school students in the Kulon Progo region. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to measure the level of utilization of health promotion media and physical activity. Data analysis used a correlation test to determine the relationship between variables. The results showed a significant relationship between the level of exposure to health promotion media and the level of physical activity of students. In SMA BOPKRI Wates the Chi-Square score was 0.003, in SMA Ma'arif Wates the Chi-Square score was 0.000, in SMA Muhammadiyah Wates the Chi-Square score was 0.000, and in SMAIT Abu Bakar the Chi-Square score was 0.000.
