Moreover, it was determined that the participant students in the study had positive attitudes and views towards distance education, but they had some negative views such as lack of course materials.

An Investigation into the Barriers for University Students to the Use of Recreation Areas

“…When we examine this situation in terms of women, the underlying reasons can be because of the fact that the burden of women in all areas of life is higher than men and that women do not feel safe. In addition, when we look at the relevant literature (Gürbüz and Henderson, 2014;Gürbüz and Henderson, 2013), it is stated that women face more obstacles in terms of participation in recreation than men.

Ayrıca eşzamanlı uzaktan eğitimin sınıf baskısını kaldırma ve gerginliği azaltma gibi olumlu yönleri olduğu da bulunmuştur.…”

How individuals make use of this period of time both for themselves and for their families has become a research subject for the last 20 years (Çimen & Sarol, 2017;Güngörmüş et al, 2014;Ayyıldı-Durhan, 2019;Gürbüz & Henderson, 2013;Gümüş et al, 2018;Güler & Turkmen, 2018;Gürbüz & Henderson, 2014). It is obvious that the intensity of the researches related to physical activity and sports events are supported in order to increase in quantitative and qualitative terms (Güngörmüş et al, 2019;Morton et al, 2016).…”
