The purpose of this study is to analyse the respiratory function and muscle strengths of elite female judo athletes and sedentary females. 20 elite female judo athletes (EG) and 20 sedentary healthy females (CG) participated in our study. The subjects' respiratory function tests were conducted in sitting position with spirometry, while the respiratory muscle strength tests were conducted by using intraoral barometry. SPSS 22.0 program was used for statistical analysis. When EG and CG were analysed in terms of respiratory functions, no statistically significant difference was found (p>0.05). However, when MIP* and MEP** values were analysed, it was found statistically that female judo athletes (EG) had much higher results when compared with sedentary females (CG) (*p<0.05, **p<0.01). As a conclusion, it can be seen that elite female judo athletes had stronger respiratory muscles when compared with sedentary females, while their lung capacities were found to be similar. Based on the results of our study, it is thought that by doing extra respiratory muscle and function developing trainings, these parameters influencing performance can be developed in female judo athletes. In addition, our study has the characteristic of a reference in terms of respiratory functions and especially respiratory muscle strength in the branch of judo.
The aim of this study is to find out psychological well-being and perceived stress states of university students during the coronavirus process and to research the effects of psychological well-being on perceived stress. “Psychological well-being” and “perceived stress” scales filled in by 659 university students were evaluated. Independent t test, one way ANOVA and LSD tests were used in statistical analysis. Psychological well-being states of the participants were found to be statistically different in terms of gender (p<0.05). Female students were found to have lower well-being scores. Conversely, no significant difference was found in perceived stress scores in terms of gender (p>0.05). Statistically significant difference was found between well-being scores in terms of perceived immunity (p<0.05). Psychological well-being scores were found to increase as the state of believing in the strength of immunity increased. The lowest well-being scores were found in the participants who perceived their immunity weak. Perceived stress scores were also found to differ significantly in terms of perceived immunity (p<0.05). Perceived stress scores of the participants who perceived their immunity strong were found to be significantly lower than those of the participants who perceived their immunity weak. In addition, well-being and perceived stress scores of students were found to differ significantly in terms of sleep pattern during the pandemic (p<0.05). The students who stated that there were no changes in sleep pattern were found to have the highest psychological well-being scores. Psychological well-being scores of students who slept between 7 and 9 hours were found to be significantly higher and their perceived stress scores were found to be significantly lower than the students who slept 6 hours or less and those who slept 10 hours or more (p<0.05). It can be said that good sleep patterns and sleeping between 7 and 9 hours increased students’ psychological well-being and decreased their perceived stress. It was found that while psychological well-being of university students differed in terms of gender, perceived immunity and sleep pattern, their perceived stress did not differ in terms of gender. It was found that students’ perceived stress differed in terms of perceived immunity and sleep duration of students. It was found that psychological well-being explained 0.9% (R2= 0,009) of the variation on perceived stress. It is recommended to reduce the perceived stress of university students by increasing their psychological well-being. It is also recommended to increase students’ level of believing in their immunity and to ensure that they sleep regularly and sufficiently.
The aim of the present study is to find out life satisfaction and death anxiety of students and to find out the effects of life satisfaction on death anxiety during the Covid-19 pandemic. “Satisfaction with life” and “Death anxiety” scales filled in by 649 university students were evaluated. Independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance and LSD tests were used in statistical procedures. The difference between life satisfaction scores were found to be significant in terms of gender (p
This study aims to analyse the perceptions of students studying at the Faculty of Sport Sciences regarding the relationship between sports and media. The study has a phenomenological design, a type of qualitative research design. The sample group consisted of seven students studying in the Department of Sports Management at Ondokuz Mayıs University, determined with convenience sampling, a type of purposeful sampling method. Data collection process was carried out through e-mail. The data were analysed with content analysis method by using Nvivo program. The results showed the following: the students mostly followed media through telephone or the internet; the students thought that all sports branches should be covered in the media, while specifically football and male athletes were covered; and they thought that media was a factor triggering violence. Moreover, it was found that media has positive effects such as making sports generalised, being unified in national team games, knowing about the developments in the world instantly and getting information about sports, athletes, sports branches, etc. To conclude, it should not be ignored that not just football, the other sports branches should be covered equally in the media and the achievements of female athletes should not be overlooked.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, spor yöneticiliği bölümünde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin Spor Hukuku dersine yönelik görüşlerini ortaya koymaktır. Bu kapsamda çalışma nitel araştırma desenin bir çeşidi olan durum çalışması modelindedir. Çalışmanın örneklem grubunu Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Spor Yöneticiliği Bölümünde öğrenim gören 6 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Öğrencilerin Spor Hukuku ders sürecine ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemek amacıyla yarı yapılandırılmış (8 soru) görüşme formu hazırlanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler Nvivo programına aktarılmış ve betimsel analiz yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir. Çözümlenen veriler sonucunda ortaya çıkan kodlar uygun temalara atanmış ve raporlaştırılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda öğrencilerin; Spor Hukuku konusuna ilişkin yasal düzenlemeleri çoğunlukla takip etmedikleri, Spor Hukuku dersini yeterince önemsedikleri, üniversitede aldıkları Spor Hukuku derslerinin yeterli düzeyde verimli geçmediği, öğretim elemanlarının yeterli bilgiye sahip oldukları; ancak kendilerine aktarmada etkili olamadıkları şeklinde görüşlerinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Dolayısıyla öğrencilerin ders dışında Spor Hukuku’na ilişkin güncel gelişmeleri takip etmesi, öğretim elemanlarının ders işleme sürecinde öğrenci görüşlerini dikkate alması, gerekli görüldüğü takdirde ders saatlerinin arttırılması önerilmektedir.
