The sample group of the study consists of 224 coaches, 173 men, and 51 women, actively working in different sports branches. In the study, in order to determine individuals' perceptions of leisure boredom, a method developed by Weissinger and Iso-Ahola, \"Leisure Boredom Scale (LBS),\" which was adapted to Turkish culture by Kara et al. (2014), was applied. When the internal consistency coefficients of the Leisure Boredom Scale were examined, it was determined that α = .721 for the boredom sub-dimension and α = 721 for the satisfaction sub-dimension. In order to compare the boredom perceptions of the participant group in terms of different variables, t-Test for Independent Samples and One-way ANOVA were applied. As a result of the analyses, no difference was detected in the coaches' perception of leisure boredom in terms of gender variable (p>.05). No significant difference was detected as a result of the single-factor analysis of variance performed, according to the coaching branch variable of the participant group (p>.05). However, when the results of the single-factor analysis of variance for the coaching experience variable were examined, it was seen that there was a significant difference in the \"boredom\" and \"satisfaction\" sub-dimensions according to the experience of the coaches (p","PeriodicalId":163744,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Recreation and Sports Science","volume":" 56","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140384480","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}

The study group consists of individuals residing in Sakarya who do fitness as recreational activity. In this context, a total of 197 voluntary participants, including 50 females (25.4%) and 147 males (74.6%), took part in the research. The data collection tools employed in the study included a Personal Information Form, Body Appreciation Scale (BAS), and Psychological Resilience Scale (PRS). The Personal Information Form gathered information on age, gender, years of exercise experience, weekly exercise frequency, and daily exercise duration. Skewness and kurtosis test results were examined to determine whether the scales were normally distributed. Based on the test results, it was established that the collected data exhibited normal distribution, and therefore, Pearson Correlation test was applied for the relationship analysis. Descriptive analyses involved calculating percentages, frequencies, and arithmetic means. The findings revealed a low-level positive correlation between BAS and PRS. Consequently, it was determined that as the body image scores of individuals who do fitness as recreational activity increased, their psychological resilience scores also exhibited an increase. As a result, as the body image scores of individuals who do fitness as recreational activity increase, their psychological resilience scores also increase.","PeriodicalId":163744,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Recreation and Sports Science","volume":"7 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138956785","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}

The research sample was drawn from students enrolled in the 2022-2023 academic year. The study's data collection tools were a personal information form and the \"Athlete Student Career Awareness Inventory\" adapted into Turkish by Gürbüz et al. (2022). Descriptive statistics (Number, Percentage, Average, Standard deviation), Athlete Student Career Awareness Inventory with normal distribution, independent t-test for pairwise comparisons (gender), and multiple comparisons (age, class, sporting status, study area) One-Way Anova test were utilized in the analysis of the research data. The Athlete Student Career Awareness Inventory, according to the findings, differs by gender in the dimension of career development barriers and sportive facilitators, by age in the dimension of athlete identity and sportive facilitators, and by class in the dimension of career development barriers, athlete identity, and sportive facilitators. It has been revealed that it differs in the dimension of athlete identity and sportive facilitators according to the factors of doing sports and work area, and it differs in the dimension of career development barriers according to the variable of family monthly revenue. Based on the study's findings, there was no significant difference in the dimension of career development self-efficacy among university students studying in the field of sports sciences. There were substantial disparities in the dimensions of athlete identity, sporting facilitators, and professional development hurdles based on gender, age, class, doing sports, working location, and family income status. As a consequence of the research, it is believed that university students studying in the field of sports sciences would get crucial awareness when deciding on a career path and that it will be a helpful study in the field of sports sciences.","PeriodicalId":163744,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Recreation and Sports Science","volume":" 1194","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138960134","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}

SPSS 29.0.1.0 (171) was used to analyse the data. For data analysis, the Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests were utilized. According to the results of the analysis, there was no significant difference in the age variable, whereas the gender variable produced results that favoured male e-sports participants. In addition, it was discovered that individuals who used technological devices during exercise more frequently had a more positive attitude towards AI. In conclusion, men participants have a more optimistic view of artificial intelligence than female participants. These results illustrate the connection between technology usage and perception of artificial intelligence. It can be hypothesized that individuals who frequently use technological devices during exercise are more conversant with technology and, as a result, have a more favourable attitude towards artificial intelligence. These results indicate that technology utilization influences the adoption and acceptance of AI technologies.","PeriodicalId":163744,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Recreation and Sports Science","volume":"69 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139265903","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}

Specifically, in the last 30 years, thousands of nature lovers/naturalists have been visiting this legendary mountain to admire up close its unfathomable natural beauty, wander in its trails and plateaus, and conquer its summits. For this research, we gathered date from participants in mountain climbing-hiking on Mt.Olympus. The total sample was 200 participants (N=200). For the measurement of well-being, we used the questionnaire by Kern et al. (2015), which encompasses five elements: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. To measure the involvement, we used the scale by Kyle and Chick (2002) and investigated three parameters namely attraction (3 questions), centrality (3 questions) and self-expression (3 questions). It seems that mountain climbing continues to be an activity enjoyed mainly by ages over 30 years. Substantial average scores were noted for Attraction (mean =5,7), which refers to the pleasure the individual feels when participating in an outdoor leisure activity, and for Self-expression (mean=4,8), referring to the potential for validation of the individual through their participation in an activity. The PERMA model was a significant contributory factor for predictions in all three involvement parameters.","PeriodicalId":163744,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Recreation and Sports Science","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128126116","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}
