Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived health outcomes of recreation, exercise dependence, and life satisfaction among fitness center members. Material and methods: The study sample consisted of 490 participants, 336 males, and 154 females, who were members of a private fitness center in Istanbul. The participants were selected using a purposeful sampling method. Data collection tools included the Perceived Health Outcomes of Recreation Scale, developed by Gomez et al. and adapted to Turkish by Yerlisu Lapa et al., the Exercise Dependence-21 Scale, developed by Hausenblans and Downs and adapted by Gürbüz and Aşçı and the Life Satisfaction Scale developed by Diener et al. and adapted by Yetim. The data were analyzed using independent t-test, MANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: The independent t-test results showed a significant difference in LSS scores by gender. MANOVA analysis results revealed that the main effect of gender on the sub-dimensions of PHORS was not significant, but there was a difference in the PSYC sub-dimension. Besides, the main effect of gender on ED-21 and all sub-dimensions was significant. Conclusions: There was a positive and moderate relationship between LSS and PHORS; a negative and low-level correlation between LSS and ED-21, and between PHORS and ED-21.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the relationship between self efficacy and life satisfaction scores in terms of age, gender, education level in cycling and trekking individuals. The research was conducted using descriptive scanning model. The sample of the study was individuals who are actively cycling and trekking in the province of Mersin. 51 women and 105 men participated in the research as voluntary.(Xage=38.79±14,39). Data were derived from participants by applying “Self-Efficacy Scale” which is adapted by Köseoğlu,Gerçek, Yılmaz, Soran (2007) and “Life Satisfaction Scale” which is adapted by Yetim(1993). Descriptive statistics, independent groups T-test, one -way ANOVA analyses and Pearson correlation were used to analyze the data. The total average of self-efficacy and life satisfaction scores of cycling and trekking individuals are high and in order of 25,03±5,46 and 31,36±5,36. The findings of the research showed that there is a significant correlation between self-efficacy and life satisfaction scores (r= ,36; p<0,01). According to T-test results, there is no significant difference between mean scores of self-efficacy and life satisfaction in terms of age, gender and education levels in all groups.(p >,05).According to the results of research, life satisfaction and self-efficacy average scores of individuals who regularly cycling and trekking were found to be high. When the self-efficacy and life satisfaction average scores were examined, no significant difference was found in terms of gender, age and educational status in terms of these variables. While the self-efficacy scores of the participants increased, life satisfaction scores increased.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu araştırmada, bisiklet ve trekking sporu yapan bireylerin öz-yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu puanlarının cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu değişkenleri açısından incelenmesi ve katılımcıların öz-yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu puanları arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma betimsel tarama modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın örneklemini, Mersin ilinde aktif olarak bisiklet ve trekking sporu yapan 51 kadın, 105 erkek toplam 156 (Xyaş= 38,79 + 14,39) katılımcı oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Köseoğlu, Gerçek, Yılmaz, Soran (2007) tarafından Türkçe’ ye uyarlanan “Algılanan Öz-Yeterlik Beklentisi Ölçeği” ve Yetim (1993) tarafından Türkçe`ye uyarlanan “Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, bağımsız gruplar için “T testi”, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve pearson korelasyon katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre bisiklet ve trekking sporu yapan bireylerin öz-yeterlik puan ortalamaları (31,36± 5,36) ve yaşam doyumu puan ortalamalarının (25,03± 5,46) yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmaya katılan bireylerin öz-yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu puanları arasında pozitif bir korelasyon saptanmıştır (r=,36; p<,01). Katılımcıların cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu ve spor dalı değişkenine göre öz-yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu puanlarının farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığına bağımsız gruplar için t testi ile bakılmış ve tüm gruplarda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır (p>,05). Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, düzenli bisiklet süren ve trekking yapan bireylerin yaşam doyumu ve öz yeterlik ortalama puanlarının yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir. Öz yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu ortalama puanları incelendiğinde cinsiyet, yaş ve eğitim durumu yönünden bu değişkenler açısından anlamlı bir farka rastlanmamıştır. Katılımcıların öz yeterlik puanları artarken, yaşam doyumu puanlarının da arttığı gözlenmiştir.

BACKGROUND: Physical activity is very important for a healthy life in the human existence, and regular physical activity and high attitudes towards physical activity can contribute to higher levels of life satisfaction of individuals. OBJECTIVE: This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between university students’ attitudes towards physical activity and their life satisfaction levels. METHODS: In the study, the Cognitive Behavioral Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to measure the participants’ attitudes towards physical activity. In order to measure the participants’ life satisfaction levels, The Satisfaction with Life Scale was used. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and regression analysis were used in the analysis of the obtained data. RESULTS: According to gender, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference both in the result expectation and self-regulation sub-dimensions of physical activity attitude and the total score of physical activity attitude. When the correlation analysis results were analyzed, the statistically significant positive relationship between life satisfaction and outcome expectation, self-regulation sub-dimensions of physical activity attitude, and the total score of physical activity attitude was determined. Also, it was found that the attitude towards physical activity explained approximately 6%of life satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: It was determined that as the attitudes of the participants towards physical activity increased, their life satisfaction increased.

Children With Intellectual Disability

This study was conducted to examine the burden, social support, and life satisfaction among caregivers of children with intellectual disability. The level of burden, social support, and life satisfaction of caregivers; the relationship among burden level, social support, and life satisfaction; and burden level difference across sociodemographic characteristics of the participants were the objectives of this study. With inclusion criteria of availability, willingness, and pertinent priority of being parents, grandparents, and siblings of the child, 74 caregivers were selected using comprehensive sampling technique. Descriptive statistics, one sample t test, Pearson correlation coefficient, independent sample t test, and one-way analysis of variance, were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that caregivers are experiencing much level of burden with inadequate social support and have pitiable satisfaction in their life. Burden is negatively correlated with social support and life satisfaction, but social support is positively correlated with satisfaction in life. Some of the sociodemographic variables, such as sex and school, were showing significant differences in the experiences of burden level, while all other sociodemographic variables used in this study were not having significant difference. The result implied that caregivers are in need of social support so as to outweigh the level of burden and enhance their satisfaction in life.

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and life satisfaction according to exercise participation in obese female university students. The sample of the study consisted of over 18 age 145 obese (BMI≥30) that were regularly exercising for at least 4 days, 90 minutes in a week for 6 mounts and 136 obese sedentary (BMI≥30). The mean age was (20.69 ± 1.84) for obese female students who participated regular exercise and (20.19 ± 1.49) for obese female university students who was sedentary. “General Self-Efficacy Scale” that originally developed by Sherer et al. (1982) and adapted to Turkish by Yıldırım and İlhan (2010) and “Life Satisfaction Scale” that originally developed by Diener et al. (1985) and adapted to Turkish by Yetim (1991) were used for measurement. For statistical analysis, The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to determine whether the scores were normally distributed. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t test and pearson correlation analysis were also applied. There was statistically significant difference for the mean life satisfaction (t = 7.68, p <.05) but there was no statistically significant difference for the mean self-efficacy (t = 1.17; p> .05) between two groups according to the t test results. There was a significant positive correlation between life satisfaction and total self-efficacy scores (r = .551**). As a result, there was significant difference in life satisfaction between two groups. Obese female students with high self-efficacy perceptions may be aware of their abilities and thus rely on their abilities. In this case, it can be concluded that they are happy and generally enjoy life.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the happiness and life satisfaction levels of university students by various factors and to reveal the relationship between those two terms. The sample group of the study is composed of Necmettin Erbakan University Physical Education and Sports Teacher Department and Pamukkale University Sports Sciences Faculty students, who are 801 in number, 394 of them male and 407 of them female, and with an average age of 23.58±2.98. In the study the “Life Satisfaction Scale,” which has been developed by Diener et al. (1985) and adapted to Turkish by Durak et al. (2010), and the “Oxford Happiness Scale Short Version,” which has been developed by Hills and Argyle (2002) and adapted to Turkish by Doğan and Akıncı Çötok (2010), has been used. To determine the personal information distribution of participants percentage and frequency methods, and to determine whether the data has normal distribution or not Shapir Wilks normalcy test has been used and after establishing that the data is suitable for parametric test conditions, to analyse the data the independent t Test, Anova and Pearson Correlation tests have been used. According to the analysis results, a significant difference in life satisfaction has been observed with respect to age and regular exercise parameters (p < 0.05). According to the happiness scale a significant difference has been observed with respect to gender, department, grade and department satisfaction parameters (p < 0.05). Finally, a positive and meaningful relationship has been observed between the two scales. Consequently, it could be argued that life satisfaction and happiness levels of participants show significant differences with respect to some parameters and that the higher their life satisfaction, the higher their level of happiness.

Introduction: Wrestling is one of the most popular Olympic sports in Iran. Therefore, preseason screening and the prevention of sports injuries are very important. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the history of injury and Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores of the national team wrestlers and determine the cut-off point. Methods: The statistical sample included 136 national team wrestlers. The obtained data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test, ROC curve, and contingency table. Results: The results showed that FMS scores were higher in the wrestlers without previous injury compared to the injured ones. The t-test results demonstrated no significant difference between deep squat, straight and active leg raise, trunk stability push-up, and rotatory stability. According to the results, there is a poor negative, but statistically significant, the relationship between the number of previous injuries and FMS scores. Based on the ROC curve for FMS, the cut-off point of 16.5 was reported with the sensitivity and specificity values of 0.587 and 0.658, respectively. Conclusion: The results indicated that FMS can be used for fast and accurate control of injury probability in wrestling athletes. Therefore, besides the medical tests, FMS tests should be employed by wrestling coaches as a valid tool for injury prevention and the identification of athletes prone to injury.

Background: This study was designed to examine the relationship between perceived freedom in leisure and psychological resilience of university staff. Material and Methods: The sample group of the study was composed of 189 academic and 81 administrative university staff (Mage=36.11±7.34). Participants were assessed based on the “Perceived Freedom in Leisure Scale (T-PFLS)” and the “Brief Resilience Scale (T-BRS)”. ANOVA, independent samples t-test, and Pearson correlation analysis methods were used to analyze the data. Results: T-test analysis indicated that there was no significant difference between the mean scores of “T-PFLS”; however, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of “T-BRS” with regard to gender. The male participants’ mean scores were higher than those of the female participants. The analysis revealed statistically significant differences in “T-PFLS” and “T-BRS” mean scores with respect to the position at the university. ANOVA analysis indicated statistically significant differences in mean scores of “T-PFLS” and “T-BRS” with respect to leisure participation preference. The mean scores of frequent participants were higher than the others in both of the scales. There was a statistically significant positive and moderate correlation between the mean scores of “T-PFLS” and “T-BRS” scores. Conclusion: As a result, active participants reported higher perceived freedom and psychological resilience scores.
