Abstract

ABSTRACT In this study, it has been aimed to investigate the effect of Covid-19 anxieties of the students attending sports high schools on their physical activity levels. The Athletes' Anxiety of Catching New Type Coronavirus (Covid-19) Scale (SYTKYKÖ) consisting of 16 items whose validity and reliability studies were conducted by Demir et al. in 2020 and the Opinions Regarding Distance Education Scale created by Yıldırım et al. (2014) consisting of 18 items was used as a data collection tool. The research group consists of a total of 376 participants, 192 women and 184 men, who receive education in the sports high schools of Hatay, Adana, Kahramanmaraş (Eastern Mediterranean) Region in the 2021-2022 academic year. Data were delivered from voluntary participants in the research via Google Forms. As a result of the reliability analysis of the scales; Cronbach's Alpha value of coronavirus anxiety scale in athletes was found to be 92; Cronbach's Alpha value of the opinions on distance education scale was found to be 83. As a result of the analysis, it is seen that the individual anxiety dimension has a statistically significant and negative effect on effectiveness and didacticism in distance education. It is seen that the social anxiety dimension has a statistically significant and positive effect on personal, effectiveness and instructiveness in distance education. As a result, it appears that Covid 19 anxiety has a significant impact on distance education.
