Abstract

The purpose of this
study was to examine perceived exercise benefits and barriers in sports
employees. A total of 200 sports employees who were working as physical
training and sports teachers at private and public schools under the Ministry
of National Education, trainers and sports training experts working at the
youth services and sports directorate in Antalya Province voluntarily
participated in the study. The Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale developed by
Sechrist, Walker and Pender (1987), Turkish validation and reliability tests of
which were performed by Ortabağ (2009), was employed to determine the exercise benefits
and barriers levels of the participants. Frequency analysis, significance test
(t test) of the difference between two averages and ANOVA test were used to
assess the data.

As a result; it was found that there
were significant differences between perceived exercise benefits and barriers
and variables of marital status, adequate nutrition, exercising. It was
identified that the single employees had higher level of perceived exercise
benefits and barriers than the married employees. There was also a significant
difference between perceived exercise benefits and adequate nutrition. On the
other hand; there was not a significant difference between perceived exercise
barriers and adequate nutrition. There was also a significant discrepancy
between perceived exercise benefits and exercising. However; no significant
difference was found between perceived exercise benefits and barriers and
variables of age and sex. Also; average perceived exercise barriers were higher
among female employees than male employees.
