Abstract

Research aims: This study attempts to investigate the effects of smartphone's uses on physical and cardiorespiratory fitness among millennial's cohort. Methodology: This research uses quantitative and qualitative methods using questionnaires. Data are collected from the millennial generation, namely Vocational University students of Indonesia. Research Result: Pearson correlation test between duration using a smartphone and the bleep test mileage variable showed a significant number (p) value of p = 0,000 (p <0.05). This finding means that between the duration variable using a smartphone and the bleep test mileage variable had a significant relationship. The results are reinforced by the relationship between duration and distance variables having a correlation coefficient β -0,958, which means an increase in the duration of smartphone use will result in a decrease in bleep test mileage. Research implication: Based on the results of this study in accordance with existing research that the use of smartphones has a negative influence on the level of physical and cardiorespiratory fitness among the millennial generation. Conclusion: Smartphone use, like traditional sedentary behaviours, may disrupt physical activity and reduce cardiorespiratory fitness.
