Značaj interneta u fizičkom vežbanju čoveka današnjice

Abstract

The axiological assumptions of the modern society have been called into question under the challenges of today, which has also been reflected in the aspects of individual physical exercise and the development of the value of society's awareness of this important segment. The modern forms of communication via internet and social networks are some of the basic features of the modern way of life. Therefore, it is important to examine their role in various forms of values of consciousness, both in morality, art, law and politics, as well as in physical exercise and sports. In parallel with the examination of all types of social consciousness and the analysis of the value function in social life that internet communications and virtual reality have, another 'new reality' caused by the coronavirus pandemic has emerged. It can be said that people's awareness of the importance of physical exercise for the quality of their own life is an axiological assumption for their survival. The key values, such as: preservation of health, prevention of obesity, prevention of cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, osteoporosis and depressive-anxiety conditions cannot be disputed in any segment. The new virtual reality has therefore sought ways to support, enhance and encourage these core values of physical exercise. Numerous platforms and applications have been developed that can have an impact on the complete improvement of health and quality of life of all age groups. Regular physical activity also brings benefits to a person's mental health. It is also a segment where internet platforms cannot negatively affect the fact that regular physical exercise with internet apps or YouTube trainers cannot challenge the increase in Dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain associated with improved pleasure or the secretion of endorphins, hormones responsible for improving mood and energy. What 'new reality' and 'virtual reality' cannot provide when it comes to physical exercise, is face-to-face communication, eye contact, socialising, fun and laughter in the gym while performing exercises in group programs. This paper will try to find the answers on how much the mentioned socialisation has been reduced by the new situation and whether the likes and the emoticons can be stimulating as much as the living word during the physical exercise.
