Background and Study Aim. As the field of sports science continues to evolve rapidly, understanding students' aspirations is crucial for adapting educational programs accordingly. Furthermore, gaining insights into their future expectations can aid in addressing emerging trends and demands within the sports industry. The aim of the research is to examine how the future expectations of sports science students change at the end of their education life. Material and Methods. The study focused on sports science students in Turkey, with a sample size of 130 students selected randomly. These students willingly participated in the research, and their pre-test and post-test scores were compared using a standardized scale to evaluate changes in their perceptions and expectations. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS program. To examine potential differences among variables within the research group, the Man Whitney U test was utilized for dependent groups, while the Kruskal Wallis H test was applied to assess multiple differences between groups. A significance level of p<0.05 was established. Results. The research revealed a significant difference in the pre-test results solely based on the educational status of the sports science students' mothers and fathers. Moreover, notable variations were observed in the average differences between pre-test and post-test scores concerning the students' departments and age. However, no significant differences were found in the future expectations of sports science students when considering gender, age, department, and income status variables. Notably, there was a significant difference favoring undergraduate students in terms of their mother's and father's education status variables. Furthermore, the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test demonstrated a significant difference between the age groups of 17-18 and those aged 21 and above. Additionally, significant differences were observed between students in the "Sports Management" department and those in the "Coaching" department, favoring the latter. Conclusions. The study emphasizes that gender, age, department, and income status did not significantly impact the future expectations of sports science students. However, it is crucial to address the educational needs of undergraduate students and the variations in scores among different age groups and departments to better cater to their career aspirations and development..

Background and Study Aim. It is a fact that in recent years people's interest in being healthy and physical appearance has increased. Therefore, it can be said that the number of people exercising is increasing day by day. It is seen that some of these people who exercise are now at the level of addiction. This study was conducted to determine the effect and relationship of personality traits on exercise addiction. Material and Methods. The sample of the study consists of 535 people, 160 females and 375 males, who are studying at Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University and selected by simple random sampling method. In order to collect data in the study a personal information form including the demographic characteristics of the participants was requested. The Exercise Addiction Scale for Youth was administered. The Five Factor Personality Scale, which consists of openness to experience, conscientiousness (self-control), extraversion, agreeableness and emotional instability (neuroticism) sub-dimensions, was used. T-test was used for pairwise comparisons and ANOVA test was used for multiple comparisons. Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between personality and exercise addiction and regression analysis was used to determine the effect of personality on exercise addiction. Results. In the study, it was determined that there was a significant difference in terms of exercise addiction in the variables of gender, age, having an athlete license and years of doing sports. In addition, it was seen that there was a significant difference in terms of personality sub-dimensions in the variables of gender, having an athlete license and years of doing sports. While it was seen that there was a significant positive correlation between the participants' personality scale average and exercise addiction. It was determined that personality explained 18% of exercise addiction. Conclusions. As a result of the study, it was observed that: being male and being a licensed athlete increased the level of exercise addiction; the exercise habit turned into addiction with increasing age. Personality traits were found to have a positive relationship and significant effect on exercise addiction.

Background and Study Aim. The main purpose of the study is to investigate whether the individual responsibility and empathy levels of athlete-students affect the level of social capital. The secondary purpose is to examine the social capital, empathy and individual responsibility levels of athlete-students in terms of various variables and to reveal the relationship between them. Material and Methods. In this context, "Social Capital Scale" , "Empathy Scale in Sports Environment" and "Student Individual Responsibility Scale" were used as data collection tools. University students participating in sports competitions in the 2021-2022 academic year were included in the study on a voluntary basis. The inclusion criteria were determined as being both an athlete and a student, being over the age of 18 and being a competitor. A total of 284 (N female=110; N male=174) athlete-students who met these criteria participated in the study. Since the normal distribution conditions were met in the analysis of the data, independent t-test was used for pairwise comparisons, one-way anova for multiple comparisons, and pearson correlation test for relationship analysis. After the assumptions were met, linear regression test was used to determine the effect levels. Results. As a result of the study, all dependent variables were high in favour of men, and the variables were positively affected as age and years of experience increased. In addition, a positive and moderate relationship was found between the dependent variables. As the main result of the study, the effect rate was determined as 39% by the regression analysis conducted to evaluate empathy and individual responsibility as predictors of social capital. Conclusions. As a result, the concept of social capital, which expresses the continuity and sustainability of our life-related social relations, seriously affects the levels of empathy and social responsibility in the sample of athlete-students in the sports environment. It is thought that the studies to be carried out for the development of these skills will positively affect the concepts of safety, social communication and fair-play in sports.

Background and Study Aim. The purpose of the study is to develop and experimentally substantiate the efficiency of methods to improve the physical fitness (PF) of students in physical education classes using CrossFit means. Material and Methods. The studies were conducted at the University with first-year students and involved 44 students of the control group and 52 students of the experimental group aged 17 to 19 years. Three versions of the experimental program to improve the students’ PF in physical education classes using CrossFit means were developed. The students’ PF level was determined according to the results of performing the State tests of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine: 100 m running (s), standing long jump (cm), pull-ups and cross bar dips (number); hanging leg raises to the crossbar (number); 1000 m running (min, s); shuttle run 4x9 m and 10x10 m (s); trunk forward bending (cm). The level of students’ functional fitness was determined according to the indices of heart rate (HR), blood pressure, time of breath-holding while performing Stange’s test, lung vital capacity. Results. In the process of the pedagogical experiment more pronounced positive changes in the indices of physical and functional fitness were observed in students of the experimental group as compared to those of the control group, the functional reserves of the heart and motor system of students increased by the end of the experiment. The efficiency of four-hour classes a week according to the experimental program manifested itself in the increase of strength, strength endurance, speed and agility during a performance of motor tests; a decrease in resting heart rate, an increase of the degree of HR increment under load (relative to the resting level), an increase of HR recovery at the first minute after the load. Mathematical models of interrelations of separate somatic and vegetative parameters in the process of development and improvement of motor skills under the influence of the experimental program of physical education with the use of CrossFit means were developed and specified. Mathematical models reflect mechanisms of increase of functional reserves of heart and motor system of students, their interrelation in the process of improving the results in motor tests under the influence of CrossFit means. Conclusions. The results of the research confirm the higher efficiency of the physical education experimental method with the use of specially developed complexes of CrossFit® physical exercises in comparison with the generally accepted program of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. The efficiency of the experimental program’s impact on the physical state of the students is confirmed by an increase in the level of development of motor qualities, an increase in the economy of the body functioning at rest, an increase in the functional reserves of the heart and the motor system.

Background and Study Aim. The menstrual cycle can be a factor affecting performance in female athletes if accompanied by pain. In this study, authors aimed to examine how menstruation pain affects kinesiophobia and fear avoidance behavior in female athletes. Material and Methods. Study included a total of 50 female athletes aged 18-35 years. The athletes were divided into 3 groups as Group 1 (With Pain), Group 2 (No Pain) and Group 3 (Intermittent Pain) according to their pain experience during menstruation. The groups were compared in terms of kinesiophobia and fear avoidance behaviors. Kinesiophobia was evaluated with the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS), fear avoidance behaviors were evaluated by using Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ). Results. There was a significant difference between the 3 groups in terms of both TKS and FABQ scores (p<0.05). In terms of TKS, there was no significant difference between Group 1 and Group 3 (p>0.05), there was a significant difference between Group 1 and Group 2 and between Group 2 and Group 3 (p<0.05). There was a significant difference in favor of Group 1 in all pairwise comparisons in terms of FABQ scores (p<0.05). Pain intensity was associated with TKS and FABQ. Conclusions. A significant majority of female athletes experienced pain during menstruation, exhibited kinesiophobia and fear avoidance behavior due to pain. Since kinesiophobia and fear avoidance behavior can be a limiting factor for the athlete's optimum performance, female athletes should be supported in order for them to develop coping methods.

Background and Study Aim. In addition to their physiological effects, epidemics negatively affect the motivation of individuals by causing varying levels of psychosocial problems such as stress, fear, anxiety and depression. At this point, psychological resilience is considered as an important variable in reducing and preventing the psychological effects of epidemic anxiety. The main purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between epidemic anxiety of physical education teacher candidates and their academic motivation. Materials and Methods. The study group of the research, which was designed in the relational screening model, consists of 451 physical education teacher candidates. They are studying in the 4th grade of the Physical Education and Sports Teaching program of the universities. The data of the research was collected with “Personal Information Form”, “Epidemic Anxiety Scale”, “Academic Motivation Scale” and “Brief Psychological Resilience Scale”. Descriptive statistics techniques, correlation and regression analyzes were used to analyze the data. The PROCESS macro extension was used for mediation analysis. Results. The mean score levels of physical education teacher candidates were 57.03±14.52 for epidemic anxiety, 92.74±15.72 for academic motivation, and 20.26±5.00 for psychological resilience. While epidemic anxiety predicted psychological resilience (95%CI [-0.168; -0.109], p<.001) negatively, psychological resilience predicted academic motivation positively in a significant way (95%CI [0.727; 1.331], p<0.01). When psychological resilience was included in the model, the overall effect of epidemic anxiety on academic motivation (95%CI [-0.083; 0.123], p>0.05) became insignificant. Psychological resilience has a mediating role in the relationship between epidemic anxiety and academic motivation. Conclusions. Psychological resilience emerged as an essential variable in preventing the psychological effects of physical education teacher candidates regarding epidemic anxiety and increasing their academic motivation.

Background and Study Aim. This study aimed to determine the relationship between body composition and biomotor performance parameters in male football players under 18 years of age (U18). Material and Methods. Eighteen male football players who play in the U18 category in the local football league in Muş province, Turkey voluntarily participated in this research. The players underwent body analysis measurements and performed the following tests: 10-m and 20-m sprints, T agility, vertical jump, and the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test (level 1). The SPSS package program was used for relational and descriptive analysis of the data. The Pearson correlation test was performed to determine relationships between variables in normally distributed data, while the Spearman correlation test was used for non-normally distributed data. Results. A weak negative correlation was observed between the 20-m sprint test and fluid (liquid) mass (r=-.448; p=.047). There was a weak positive correlation between vertical jump heights and lean mass (r=.475; p=.034), muscle mass (r=.475; p=.034), and basal metabolic rate (r=.461; p=.041), while vertical jump and fluid mass (r=.574; p=.008) exhibited a moderate positive correlation. A weak positive correlation was found between the 10-m sprint test and visceral fat (r=.489; p=.029). No significant association existed between the T agility and Yo-Yo tests and body composition parameters (p>.05). Conclusions. Higher levels of lean mass, muscle mass, fluid mass, and basal metabolic rates correlated with improved vertical jump performances. As the fluid mass of the participants increased, their 20-m sprint times also increased; a similar relationship was observed between visceral fat proportions and 10-m sprint times. In order to improve the physical performances of football players, we propose inhibiting the accumulation of body fat while increasing fluid and muscle levels.

Kahraman, Ersin Arslan","doi":"10.15561/20755279.2023.0106","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15561/20755279.2023.0106","url":null,"abstract":"Background and Study Aim. This study aimed to determine the relationship between body composition and biomotor performance parameters in male football players under 18 years of age (U18). \u0000Material and Methods. Eighteen male football players who play in the U18 category in the local football league in Muş province, Turkey voluntarily participated in this research. The players underwent body analysis measurements and performed the following tests: 10-m and 20-m sprints, T agility, vertical jump, and the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test (level 1). The SPSS package program was used for relational and descriptive analysis of the data. The Pearson correlation test was performed to determine relationships between variables in normally distributed data, while the Spearman correlation test was used for non-normally distributed data. \u0000Results. A weak negative correlation was observed between the 20-m sprint test and fluid (liquid) mass (r=-.448; p=.047). There was a weak positive correlation between vertical jump heights and lean mass (r=.475; p=.034), muscle mass (r=.475; p=.034), and basal metabolic rate (r=.461; p=.041), while vertical jump and fluid mass (r=.574; p=.008) exhibited a moderate positive correlation. A weak positive correlation was found between the 10-m sprint test and visceral fat (r=.489; p=.029). No significant association existed between the T agility and Yo-Yo tests and body composition parameters (p>.05). \u0000Conclusions. Higher levels of lean mass, muscle mass, fluid mass, and basal metabolic rates correlated with improved vertical jump performances. As the fluid mass of the participants increased, their 20-m sprint times also increased; a similar relationship was observed between visceral fat proportions and 10-m sprint times. In order to improve the physical performances of football players, we propose inhibiting the accumulation of body fat while increasing fluid and muscle levels.","PeriodicalId":51897,"journal":{"name":"Physical Education of Students","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83649093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background and Study Aim. Courage in sports is a concept that has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. It is very important for the athletes to reveal their psychological performance as well as their physical and technical skills during competition and or training times. In this context, this research is important in terms of revealing the mental endurance and courage levels of canoe athletes who struggle not only with their competitors but also with natural conditions. Material and Methods. The sample of the research consists of 163 volunteer canoe athletes selected by simple random sampling method. In order to collect the necessary data in the research, the “Courage in Sports Scale” was used. The scale consists of the sub-dimensions of 'competence', 'determination', 'aggression', 'taking the risk' and 'being self-sacrificing'. T-test and ANOVA test were used in the analysis of the data. Statistically, the error level was accepted as p<.05 and the significance level was Alpha (α). Results. In the study, it was determined that the perception scores of the athlete students between the courage scale components were close to each other. No statistically significant results were found in all sub-dimensions according to gender and weekly training duration variables. According to the age variable: a significant result was determined in the dimensions of determination and assertiveness, and in the dimensions of stability according to the variable of doing sports. According to the education variable, it was determined that there was no significant difference in the risk-taking sub-dimension. There were significant differences in the other sub-dimensions. Conclusions. Without ignoring the acquisition of skills such as courage, it should be included in education and training programs from an early age and supported by sports training. Courage issues should be included in the training programs of educators (coaching training courses, seminars, etc.) and their importance should be emphasized.

Background and Study Aim. The menstrual cycle (MC) has been theorized as a significant factor that contributes to musculoskeletal injuries amongst female athletes. However, the literature showing its effects are limited. Additionally, very little is known about the knowledge of the MC and its effects on the body and injury occurrence amongst competitive female athletes. The aim of the study was to investigate the knowledge levels on the effects of the MC and hormonal contraceptives amongst female athletes. Material and Methods. An online questionnaire was utilized. The questionnaire was distributed by the researchers, sports coaches and managers of the respective sports teams to university athletes older than 18 years. The data was analyzed quantitatively using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, version 28). Results. A total of 76 participants were recruited in this study with a mean age of 21,12±2,033. Out of the 76 respondents, 50% had no knowledge and only 2,6% had very high knowledge of the MC and its effects on musculoskeletal injuries. Majority of the respondents had “low knowledge” (n=32) on the effects of hormonal contraceptives on the body and only 5 participants had “very high knowledge”. Conclusion. Majority of the female athletes’ knowledge ranged from no to low knowledge of the MC and its effects on the body and musculoskeletal injuries. Additionally, the knowledge levels on the effects of hormonal contraceptives on the body were predominantly low. This highlights the importance of expanding the knowledge of female athletes and stakeholders within the sports community on the effects of the MC on injury occurrence.

Background and Study Aim. A worldwide consensus exists that students' levels of interest strongly predict and trigger their engagement in various activities, particularly those that promote physical culture. Academic works in the field of Physical Education have demonstrated that students can be extremely engaged when they are exposed to situations that pique their interest. However, the relationship and influence of students’ individual interests on their engagement in school have not yet been documented further. Hence, conducting an investigation should be performed. Materials and Methods. The current research endeavors to identify any discernible gender differences in students' individual interests and school engagement levels. In addition, the initiative intends to use an analysis of the relationship between individual interest and school engagement as a foundation for promoting a healthy and active campus community. Undergraduate students in their 1st- and 2nd-year who are enrolled in Physical Education 1 and Physical Education 3 courses during the 1st Semester of the Academic year 2022-2023 are the participants in the study. Participants were selected via Purposive and Convenience Sampling Techniques. The data for this study was collected through a Google forms-based online survey. Additionally, the published English version of the Students’ Individual Interest in Physical Education questionnaire and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-9S) were adopted to gather data from the respondents. In order to examine the difference between individual interest and school engagement according to gender, Independent Samples T-Test was performed. Spearman Rho’s and Multiple Regression Analysis examined the relationship between the two variables. Results. After obtaining data from 1072 university students [(Nmale = 456(42.5%), Nfemale = 616(57.5%)], it was found that no significant variance was observed concerning individual interest and school engagement based on gender. Additionally, a positive and significant association was observed between individual interest and school engagement. Lastly, it was also found that individual interest, alongside its three factors, predicts school engagement. Conclusions. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that students’ individual interests have a direct and beneficial influence on their level of school engagement. This investigation was conducted to fully communicate physical culture to students in order to improve their overall well-being. Based on the findings, recommendations for the future research direction and physical education teachers have been produced as a result of this investigation.
