Abstract

This scientific study was done in order to evaluate the leisure time management ability and the related attitudes of disabled athletes. The average age is 25,06 ± 8,68, from the branches of athleticism, bocce, football, golfball, table tennis, chess, Wheel chair basketball, tennis, volleyball, and swimming in Osmaniye totally fifty disabled athletes four of them are physically handicapped, fourteen of them are partially-sighted, thirteen of them are hearing impaired, and nineteen of them are mentally disabled participated in this study voluntarily. In order to collect data in this study, a two phased survey was made with the help of the trainers and the companions of the athletes. The first phase of the survey comprises of the questions predicting the demographic features of the athletes (age, gender, sporting year, education of family and self etc.). In the second phase of the survey the leisure time management scale developped by those namely Wang, Kao, Huan, and Wu (2011) was used. The scale's adaptation to Turkish and validity – reliability checks were made by Akgül and Karaküçük (2015). The homogeneity and the analysis of the variance of the data were tested by way of descriptive statistics and for the binary comparisons Mann-Whitney U test, for the multiple comparisons Kruskal Wallis-H test and for the detection of difference source Tamhane’sT2 test were used. In conclusion, It can be stated that the studies related to the leisure time management ability and the related attitudes of disabled athletes are rather limited in the literature and male and female athletes differentiate from each other in a meaningful way and generally the disabled athletes become significantly different in the aspects of category, educational level, parental educational level, and their sporting history and as the level of educational and the sportive experience increase, the leisure time management becomes better.
