Abstract

Objective: Regular physical activity participation in childhood is very important in growth and development due to its positive contribution to bone and muscle development as well as maintaining a healthy life. The aim of this study was to examine the factors that motivate adolescent children's participation in physical activity.
Material and Methods: In this study, survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used. Participants consisted of a sample group of the Turkish population (n=550; 41.8% female, 58.2% male). Participants answered questions about their motivation to participate in physical activity, as well as sociodemographic characteristics. A physical activity motivation scale was used to determine the physical activity motivators of the participants. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 22.0.
Results: According to the findings of this study, the participants' motivation to participate in physical activity was determined to be high. When girls and boys were compared, in total and in all sub-dimensions, individual reasons, environmental reasons and no reason sub-dimension of boys' physical activity participation motivation were found to be higher than girls. A significant difference was found between the total scores of the Physical Activity Participation Motivation Scale according to monthly income levels. According to the monthly income status, the motivation to participate in physical activity was found to be higher in the total Physical Activity Participation Motivation Scale and individual reasons sub-dimension of those with a very high income level. There was no statistically significant difference between body mass index status and physical activity participation motivations.
Conclusion: From the adolescents' point of view, the factors that motivated their participation in physical activity were as follows: It makes me feel good, increases my self-confidence, and entertains me a lot. Educational institution-centered action strategies and physical activity intervention programs need to be developed to effectively promote the adoption of active lifestyles among adolescents.

ADÖLESANLARIN FİZİKSEL AKTİVİTE MOTİVE EDİCİLERİNE İLİŞKİN BAKIŞ AÇILARI: KESİTSEL BİR ÇALIŞMA

Abstract

Amaç: Çocukluk döneminde düzenli fiziksel aktiviteye katılım sağlıklı bir yaşamın sürdürülmesinin, yanı sıra kemik ve kas gelişiminde olumlu katkısından dolayı büyüme ve gelişmede oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı adölesan dönem çocukların fiziksel aktiviteye katılımlarını motive eden faktörleri incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar Türk nüfusundan oluşan bir örneklem (n=550; %41.8 kız, %58.2 erkek) grubundan oluşmuştur. Katılımcılar sosyo-demografik özelliklerin yanı sıra fiziksel aktiviteye katılım motivasyonları ile ilgili soruları yanıtlamıştır. Katılımcıların fiziksel aktivite motive edicilerini belirlemek için bir fiziksel aktivite motivasyon ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS 22.0 kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Bu çalışmanın bulgularına göre katılımcıların fiziksel aktivite katılım motivasyonları yüksek olarak tespit edilmiştir. Kızlar ve erkekler karşılaştırıldığında toplamda ve tüm alt boyutlarda bireysel nedenler, çevresel nedenler ve nedensizlik alt boyutunda erkeklerin fiziksel aktivite katılım motivasyonu kızlardan daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Aylık gelir durumlarına göre Fiziksel Aktivite katılım Motivasyon Ölçeği toplam skorları arasında anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir. Aylık gelir durumuna göre toplam Fiziksel Aktivite katılım Motivasyon Ölçeği ve bireysel nedenler alt boyutunda gelir düzeyi çok iyi olanların fiziksel aktivite katılım motivasyonu daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Vücut kitle indeksi durumları ve fiziksel aktivite katılım motivasyonları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır.
Sonuç: Adölesanların bakış açısına göre, fiziksel aktiviteye katılımlarını motive eden faktörler arasında “Kendimi iyi hissettirir, kendime olan güveni arttırır, beni çok eğlendirir” cevapları çoğunluktaydı. Adölesanlar arasında aktif yaşam tarzlarının benimsenmesini etkin bir şekilde teşvik etmek için eğitim kurumları merkezli eylem stratejileri ve fiziksel aktivite müdahale programlarının geliştirilmesi gerekmektedir.
