fitspiration – a swimming enthusiast Gesundheitstrend für Jugendliche

Forschende der Fachhochschule St. Pölten untersuchten im Projekt “FIVE- Fitspiration Image VErification” with a stream of social media hashtags fitspiration on a Geschlechterstereotype, Gesundheitsverhalten sowie Körperwahrnehmung von Jugendlichen.

fitspiration is a global trend on social media, all of which exists on the Instagram platform, with as many as 20 million bets. When the trend, the hinter fitspiration, is shown on the first positive results on the common basis, extreme or unweighted training and ernährungspraktische propaganda are often carried out that ensures the right standard norms.

“Social media is a fixer of the component of the lives of Austrian youth. Leader is one of the Tummelplatz’s most common health prophets and self-proclaimed experts. Daher is one of the immense meaning, youthful immensity with contents and protagonists on social media from schools”, says Elisabeth Höld, project leader and senior researcher at the Institute for Health Sciences of the FH St. Pölten.

Use social media experience

Especially the Youthful Uses Social Media as information for multi-faceted topics – related to your health. The flow of information that spreads some of the information is suitable for combining social media (“social media literacy”) and online general information (“e-health literacy”).

“Obwohl Jugendliche mit Smartphone and Social Media aufwachsen, can not be used because of good Social Media Literacy and eHealth Literacy. That has been thought out, youth is especially vulnerable,” says Theres Rathmanner, co-project leader and researcher at the Institute for Gesundheitswissenschaften der FH St. Pölten.

FitFluencer*inside analysis

The research team of FH St. Pölten analyzes on social media channels Jugendliche zwischen 14 and 19 years of consuming fitspiration-Inhalte and how the image appears.

“The analysis of fitspiration photos in social media that are gezeigt, the image that is often discussed at a high level, is a reference to the stereotypical, varied and unrealistic beauty ideal,” said Bettina Prokop, the external gender expert in the projects.

Online courses and tools

I conducted a mixed-methods study with young adults in Vienna and New Zealand followed by an analysis of social media accounts of the most suitable inspirational influencer*es in the German language during.

Because the young adults were more reflective, the community with social media and the social observations was a body and association, the results from the question-based holding were worth improving. When the researchers are out, it is so that the young people have a very heavy weight, while deleting the messages is ergaben.

The basis of the research results would be an online course that includes an interactive image forensic tool for 14 to 19 years. These questions are young, critical with stereotypes of the way and the story, with the quality of general information about the marketing tricks on social media.
