“…Whereas the positive association founded in vertical jump means that a higher jump score reveals a better performance. These findings have been supported by a few studies (Campos, 2014;Latorre Román et al, 2017;Lupu, 2012;Tekin & Güllü, 2010). Although different motor tests were performed the results are aligned to those of Latorre Román et al…”

“…In this line of reasoning is important to note, that children from the present study gathered few previous experiences in unstructured and structured sports at clubs, even as constantly participated in physical education lessons. According to several studies, these previous experiences in sports, enhance children motor repertoire which possibly impacts their sports creativity (Lupu, 2012;Memmert, 2015;Memmert et al, 2010;Pesce et al, 2019Pesce et al, , 2016Tekin & Güllü, 2010). Interestingly, common trends were observed considering the previous results between motor skills and creative thinking, since COD remained as a reliable predictor of thinking and game originalities in male, instead sprint predicted the thinking and game fluencies in female.…”

“…Indeed, highlyphysically fit children display greater creative thinking than less-physically fit children. Accordingly, children who constantly participated in physical education lessons and make sports have higher creativeness levels (Lupu, 2012;Tekin & Güllü, 2010). On a more finegrained level, in order to avoid creativity measurement as a whole construct, Colzato et al (2013) focused on the operation of particular creative thinking processes.…”

The demand for creativity in sports has attracted great interest, looking for factors that predict and release children's creative behavior. Our aim was to determine the effects of motor skills and creative thinking on sports creativity, according to gender and age. 198 children (7.71 ± 1.39 years) were recruited. They completed three motor skills tests, the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking and the Creative Behavior Assessment in Teams Sports. Sprint and change of direction (COD) established to be complementary pairs since predicted all the creative thinking (CT) components. COD emerged as a reliable indicator for attempts and originality in game settings. Abstractness of titles emerged as a key component of CT on sports creativity. According to gender, sprint and COD differently predicted the outcomes; in younger ages both were more effective in predicting CT components. Our findings support an interplay between motor, thinking, and sports creativity, revealing commonalities in the underlying processes responsible for driving CT and novel behaviors in sport. Training programs enforced in motor performance and CT should be included in primary schools' curricula and in youth sports academies, assisting sports scientists, coaches, and teachers to develop more effective enrichment environments for fostering children's creative behavior and sports creativity.

“…Previous studies analysing the relation between leisure activities and creativity have taken different groups of people into account: workers (Ahmetoglu et al , 2015; Davis et al , 2014), the elderly (Andolfi et al , 2016) primary, middle and secondary education students (Beghetto, 2006; Krumm and Lemos, 2012; Tekin and Güllü, 2010); and university students (Bowers et al , 2014; Trnka et al , 2016; Wang, 2012). The latter group (university students) will be the focus of this study.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to gain insight into the way leisure activities and soft skills relate to creativity in higher education. It determines which activities have a positive impact on the student body’s overall education. Previous research evidences the relationship between specific leisure activities and creativity performance in several scenarios. Our work applies a broad range of these leisure activities to find results within our own specific student population. Design/methodology/approach The methodology is based on a survey of 303 Spanish students in Business Administration and Tourism. The study uses two instruments to measure the creativity of students, the Runco Ideational Behavior Scale (RIBS) and a three-dimensional construct that measures divergent thinking (originality, fluency and flexibility). Findings The results reveal that the average for creativity is higher for those students participating in some of the activities proposed. A positive correlation was also observed between the number of leisure activities and the creativity measures analysed. This confirms that students participating in more leisure activities display higher levels of creativity. Finally, the results display that the vast majority of students are involved in some type of activity, but two of the interpersonal skills that companies appreciate the most (reading and writing) are performed by very few students. This is especially the case of writing. Originality/value This study contributes to the pedagogical strategies that can be used in universities to motivate practising leisure activities as a mean of fostering creativity. It is important to note that the involvement of students in leisure activities can benefit from their integration into the labour market.

“…As a matter of fact, such efforts as the formation of new friendships, getting involved in the group, being able to realize its place and recognizing the other group members make it possible for the individual to get mature and become accustomed to social life by affecting the social life of the person (13,27,21). At the same time, sports can make people be more optimistic about events (18) and can contribute to the creativity levels (30).…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze the life satisfaction of swimmers at the age group of 13-14 in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia Region. General screening model, which is one of the descriptive methods, was used in the research. Research contains a total of 131 swimmers composed of 50 females and 81 males at the age group of 13-14 competing in semi-final of 2017-2018 Anatolian Stars League Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia Region held in Van province. As the data collection tool, "Life Satisfaction Scale" developed by Diener, Emmons, Laresen and Griffin ( 9) and adopted into Turkish by Köker (25) and Yetim (34) was used in the study. The scale is a self-evaluation 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (absolutely inappropriate) to 7 (absolutely appropriate). The value of .95 was found as Cronbach Alpha coefficient belonging to the life satisfaction scale of the participant swimmers. In the evaluation of the data of the study, frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation among the descriptive statistical methods were used and t test was applied for pairwise groups and post-hoc scheffe test was applied after Anova test for multiple groups. It has been determined that "Life Satisfaction Scale" of swimmers participating in our study display statistically significant differences by the variables of sex, age, the grade studied and monthly income (p<.05). It has been concluded following the research that the variables of sex, age, grade studied and monthly income are important variables affecting the life satisfaction of swimmers the age group of 13-14.
