MANOVA indicated that the main effect of the physical activity participation on the subscales of the “SMAS-AF” and “LBS” was statistically significant (p< 0.05). According to the MANOVA results, significant differences were found in the "SMAS-AF" and “LBS” for daily social media usage frequency, (p< 0.01).
