ÖZETBu araştırmanın amacı çeşitli doğa sporlarına katılan bireylerin psikolojik performans durumlarının ortaya konmasıdır. Türkiye'de doğa sporları yapan kişiler üzerine az sayıda psikolojik araştırma yapılmış olması bu araştırmayı önemli yapmaktadır. Araştırmanın evrenini 2015-2016 yılında Türkiye'de doğa sporları yapan bireyler oluşturmaktadır. Örneklemi ise Gaziantep, İstanbul, İzmir, Ankara ve Antalya'da çeşitli doğa sporları ile uğraşan 304 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada Loehr (1986) tarafından geliştirilen ve daha sonra Türkçe'ye uyarlanmış sporcunun zihinsel becerilerinin profilini ortaya çıkaran Psikolojik Performans Envanteri kullanılmıştır. Sonuçta, cinsiyet, medeni durum, yaş ve deneyim değişkenleri ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklara rastlanmıştır (p<0,05). Eğitim durumu ve yapılan doğa sporu türünde istatistiksel bir farka rastlanmamıştır. Psikolojik performansın, doğa sporcuları için önemli bir etken olduğu söylenebilir. Hedeflenen başarıya ulaşmada ve sporcu performansının daha üst seviyelere çekilebilmesi için sporculara psikolojik desteklerin verilmesi ve bu konuda çalışmalar yapılması önerilmektedir.
Aim: In the study, it was aimed to determine the somatotype characteristics of the male athletes of the Turkish National Rafting Team. 8 male rafting athletes from the Turkish National Rafting Team voluntarily participated in the study during the national team camp in Rize before 2015 World Rafting Champs-Indonesia. Material and Methods: The age, height, weight, skinfold thickness, circumference, and width measurements of the athletes participated in the study were taken at the Performance Lab of Physical Education and Sports Academy, Karadeniz Technical University. Heath-Carter method was used to determine their somatotypes. The statistical analyses of the measurements were carried out by using SPSS 13. Results: The mean values of the participant male rafting athletes of the Turkish National Rafting Team (n=8) were found as follows; mean age 21 years old; mean height 175.68±3.32 cm; mean body weight 76.00±7.96kg. The mean values of the somatotype components of the athletes were found as endomorphy 2.23±0.88, mesomorphy 5.04±0.91, ectomorphy 1.92±0.94. Although there are various studies on determining somatotype characteristics in Sports Science, those related to rafting are limited in number. Conclusion: We are of the opinion that our study, in addition to determining the somatotype characteristics of the male rafting athletes of the Turkish National Rafting Team, will also contribute to the studies carried out in this field.
Introduction and Purpose: The aim of this research is to examine the effects of athlete success and permanency of learning the winter mountaineering training given by the Turkish Mountaineering Federation. The research group consists of a total of 105 participants, 21 women (20%) and 84 men (80%) who attended the winter mountaineering training course organized by the Turkish Mountaineering Federation. Materials and Methods: In this study, quasi-experimental design was used in the research. A multiple-choice achievement test of 25 questions which includes knowledge and practice issues related to winter mountaineering education was prepared. The reliability analysis of the achievement test was made with the “ITEMAN” program. The pre-test-post-test data of the study were collected on 20-27 January 2019 on Zigana Mountain, and 4 weeks later, the permanency test data was collected on 28 February 2019 on Erciyes Mountain. In data analysis, for correlated samples (repeated measures) one-factor ANOVA and for repeated measurements two-factor ANOVA analyzes were performed. Findings: There was a significant difference between the pre-test-post-tests-permanency test total, knowledge, and application scores of the athletes. It is seen that the achievement scores of male and female athletes before and after the training do not differ significantly. Results: According to the research results; It has seen that the winter mountaineering training given by the Turkish mountaineering federation has a positive effect on the knowledge and practice levels of the athletes and has an important contribution in the context of the permanency of learning. In addition, it was determined that the success scores of female athletes who received training were higher than male athletes.
