DEĞIŞIK TAKIM SPORLARINDAKI TÜRK ELIT KADIN SPORCULARIN MENSTRUEL DURUMLARININ DEĞERLENDIRILMESI

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Türk bayan elit takım sporcularının menstruel durumlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini 1. lig ve süper ligdeki basketbol, futbol, çim hokeyi ve hentbol bayan takım sporcuları oluşturmaktadır. Örneklemini ise bu liglerde müsabakalara katılan rastgele yöntemiyle seçilen futbolda n=33, basketbolda n=29, hentbolda n=27 ve çim hokeyinde n=44 olmak üzere toplam 133 bayan sporcu oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak sporcuların demografik bilgilerini ve menstruel durumlarını belirlemeye yönelik 37 sorudan oluşan bir anket uygulanmıştır. Anketlerden elde edilen verilerin iki ya da daha çok değişkene ilişkin frekans dağılımları çıkarılmış, bazı sorular için kay-kare testi bazıları içinde ilişkisiz örneklemler için tek faktörlü varyans analizi Anova uygulanmıştır. Anket için cronbach’s alpha güvenilirlik kat sayısı 0.78 olarak bulunmuştur. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde ve hesaplanmış değerlerin bulunmasında SPSS 10.0 istatistik programı kullanılmıştır. Anket sonuçlarına göre branşlar ile menstruel düzensizlikler arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır χ2=3.893, p≥.05 . Branşlar ile sportif aktivitenin menstruel periyodu değiştirme durumları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur χ2=12.165, p≤.05 . Sporculardan spora başladıktan sonra adet ile ilgi problemleri olanlar %8.3 olarak belirlenmiştir. Antrenman sıklığı ile menstruel siklus düzensizlikleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır χ2=1.178, p≥.05 . Branşlar ile menstruasyonun sportif aktiviteyi etkileme durumları arasında psikolojik olarak etkilendiğini belirten sporcular lehine anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur χ2=15.53, p≤.05 . Sonuç olarak, Türk elit bayan takım sporcularında sporun menstruel periyodu değiştirebildiği ve menstruasyonun sportif aktiviteyi daha çok psikolojik olarak etkilediği düşünülmektedir.

MENSTRUAL STATUS DIFFERENCES OF ELITE TURKISH FEMALE ATHLETES FROM VARIOUS TEAM SPORTS

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the menstrual status of elite Turkish female athletes from different team sports. The study universe was composed of elite female athletes playing in basketball, soccer, field hockey and handball teams in the Turkish Premier League and Turkish Super League. The study sample consisted of 133 randomly-selected female athletes playing in soccer n=33 , basketball n=29 , handball n=27 and field hockey n= 44 teams competing in these leagues. An 37-item questionnaire was administered to collect data on the demographic and menstrual status of participants. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient was found 0.78 for the questionnaire. Frequency distributions of the study data were calculated on the basis of two or more variables. A chi-square test was applied to some items and one-way analysis of variance ANOVA was applied to unrelated samples. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 10.0. No significant relationship was found between menstrual disorders and sport branches χ2=3.893, p>.05 . A significantrelationship was detected between sports branches and changes to the menstrual cycle related to sporting activity χ2=12.165, p.05 . A statistically-significant relationship was found between sports branches and the effects of menstruation on the sports activity in favor of the female athletes who stated that they were psychologically affected by menstruation χ2=15.53, p
