Digital Media and the New Sport Consumption Habits of Youths in France

Abstract

This paper, starting from a study carried out on the habits of online sports practice among Generation Z (Dorsey, 2022), proposes a reflection on the value of staying socially connected.  Particularly since the first lockdown, the smartphone screen has become one of the new media that allows new sports practices to be implemented through digital applications and social networks: training, sharing interests with the community, participating in challenges, getting involved and trying out new sports experiences thanks to the ease of access and the flexibility of using these tools.
