Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the levels of motivation of individuals participating in regular recreational exercise to exercise and to examine the direction of certain variables. While the study group of the research was composed of 370 university students, the criterion sampling method was used as the sampling method. In the research, Mullen et al. (Exercise Behavioral Regulation Scale-2”, which was developed by Ersöz (2011), which was developed by Markland and Tobin (2004) and was renamed“ Behavioral Regulation Scale in Exercise Scale-2 ”. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, one-way analysis of variance ANOVA test and post hoc tests were used for intra-group comparisons. When the total behavioral regulation scores were examined, the participants who showed the mean scores (34,11 ± 9,58) received the highest score in the internal regulation sub-dimension (19,83 ± 6,27), while they showed below average scores in the motivation dimension (3,23 ± 3, 74). As a result of the research, it can be said that regular recreational exercise and certain variables change behavioral regulation in exercise.

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, düzenli rekreasyonel egzersize katılan bireylerin egzersiz yapma motivasyon düzeylerini belirlemek ve belirli değişkenlerin ne doğrultuda farklılaştırdığını incelemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 370 üniversite öğrencisi oluştururken, örneklem yöntemi olarak ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, veri toplama aracı demografik veri formuna ek olarak Mullan, Markland ve Ingledew (1997) tarafından geliştirilen ve Markland ve Tobin (2004) tarafından revize edilen, Ersöz (2011) tarafından Türkçe'ye uyarlanan “Egzersizde Davranış Düzenlemeleri Ölçeği-2” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, bağımsız örneklem T testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi ANOVA testi, grup içi karşılaştırmalarda post hoc testleri kullanılmıştır. Toplam davranışsal düzenleme puanları incelendiğinde, ortalama puanları (34,11 ± 9,58) gösteren katılımcılar en yüksek puanı içsel düzenleme alt boyutunda (19,83 ± 6,27) alırken, amotivasyon boyutundaki puanlar en düşük alt boyut puanını oluşturmaktadır (3,23 ± 3, 74). Araştırma sonucunda düzenli rekreasyonel egzersizin ve belirli değişkenlerin egzersizde davranışsal düzenlemeyi değiştirdiği söylenebilir.
