The results of this study showed that 49.7% performed high sedentary behavior. 42% of late adolescences have 4/more social media accounts, 90.7% of late adolescences use social media daily. The results of the Spearman rank test obtained p-value: 0.031 so there was a relationship between the amount of social media and sedentary behavior, and also p-value: 0.036, Correlation Coefficient: 0.615 so that there was a strong relationship between frequent use of social media with sedentary behavior.
