Abstract

Egzersiz bağımlılığı, günlük yaşamı kısıtlayarak günde birden fazla egzersiz yapma, egzersizin diğer aktivitelerin önüne geçmesi, egzersiz programının aksaması durumunda duygusal yoksunluk yaşama durumu olarak tanımlamaktadır. Tanımlayıcı kesitsel tipteki bu araştırma Konya İtfaiyesinde çalışan 219 itfaiye personelinin egzersiz bağımlılığının ve bu bağımlılığa etki eden faktörleri incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Egzersiz Bağımlılığı ölçeği kullanılmıştır. SPSS programı ile analiz edilen verilerin karşılaşılaştırılmasında One Way Anova ve Post Hoc testi kullanıldı. Araştırma bulgularına göre haftada iki veya üç kez spor yapanlar, hiç spor yapmayanlara göre daha yüksek düzeyde odaklanma ve duygusal değişime sahiptir. Ayrıca haftada iki kez spor yapanların tolerans gelişimi ve tutku puanları hiç spor yapmayanlara göre daha yüksektir. Aşırı odaklanma ve duygun değişimi ortalaması en fazla itfaiye çavuşlarında, Bireysel sosyal ihtiyaçların ertelenmesi ortalaması en fazla itfaiye çavuşlarında, tolerans gelişimi ve tutku ortalaması en fazla stajyerlerde tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak egzersiz bağımlılığı profesyonel itfaiyeciler için önemli bir sorun teşkil edebilir. İtfaiye personelinin bağımlılık düzeyinin artmasına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkabilecek herhangi bir fiziksel, sosyal veya psikolojik sorun, görev esnasında başarısını olumsuz yönde etkileyebilir. Bu nedenle itfaiyecilerin spor başlığı altında spor yapmaları teşvik edilmelidir

Investigation of Exercise Addiction Levels of Firefighter

Abstract

Exercise addiction is defined as the situation of restricting daily life and exercising more than once a day, exercising before other activities, and experiencing emotional deprivation if the exercise program is disrupted. This descriptive cross-sectional study aims to examine the exercise addiction of 219 firefighters working in the Konya Fire Department and the factors affecting this addiction. Personal Information Form and Exercise Addiction Scale were used in the research. One Way Anova and Post Hoc test were used to compare the data analyzed with the SPSS program. According to research findings, those who do sports two or three times a week have a higher level of focus and emotional change than those who do not do sports at all. In addition, tolerance development and passion scores of those who do sports twice a week are higher than those who do not do sports at all. The average of excessive focus and emotional change was highest in fire sergeants, the average of postponement of individual social needs was highest in fire sergeants, and the average of tolerance development and passion was highest in trainees. As a result, exercise addiction can pose a significant problem for professional firefighters. Any physical, social, or psychological problems that may arise due to the increased addiction level of fire personnel may negatively affect their success during duty. For this reason, firefighters should be encouraged to do sports under the title of sports.
