Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the leisure time interest levels of master handball players. The sample of the study consisted of 85 athletes (36 females; X̄age=44.06±5.90 and 49 males; X̄age=55.43±8.99) who participated in the master handball tournament. Personal information form and Leisure Time Interest Scale were used as data collection tools. The data were collected via Google-forms. SPSS 25.0 package program was used for data analysis, and normality values were calculated by considering kurtosis-skewness values. Relational survey model, descriptive statistics, difference and correlation analyses were used in the study. In line with the data obtained, it was determined that the interest levels of master handball players were above average. When the gender variable, one of the demographic variables, was considered, a significant difference was found between the attractiveness, social relationship, identification sub-dimensions and general interest levels. When the relationship between the participants' age and handball background and the leisure time interest scale and its sub-dimensions was examined, a statistically significant difference was found between the attractiveness sub-dimension and age variable in a negative direction, and between the attaching importance and handball background in a positive direction. Since there is no study in the literature on master athletes in the field of leisure time, it is aimed to enrich the field. As a result of the study, it was determined that master athletes had higher leisure time interest scores in terms of gender variable. It was observed that the leisure time interest levels of athletes participating in a single activity and those participating in multiple activities were similar. It was determined that the attractiveness of leisure time activities decreased in master athletes as they got older, and that athletes with a longer sports background attached more importance to leisure time activities during the master sports period.

Veteran Hentbol Sporcularının Serbest Zaman İlgilenimleri

Abstract

Bu çalışma, veteran hentbol sporcularının serbest zaman ilgilenim düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini veteran hentbol turnuvasına katılan 85 sporcu (36 kadın; X̄yaş=44.06±5.90 ve 49 erkek; X̄yaş=55.43±8.99) oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak kişisel bilgi formu ve Serbest Zaman İlgilenim Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler Google-forms aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi için, SPSS 25.0 paket programı kullanılmış ve basıklık-çarpıklık değerleri göz önüne alınarak normallik değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmada ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmış olup betimleyici istatistik, fark ve korelasyon analizlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda, veteran hentbolcuların, ilgilenim düzeylerinin ortalamanın üzerinde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Demografik değişkenlerden olan cinsiyet değişkeni ele alındığında, çekicilik, sosyal ilişki, özdeşleşme alt boyutları ve genel ilgilenim düzeyleri arasında anlamlı fark tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların, yaş ve hentbol geçmişleri ile serbest zaman ilgilenim ölçeği ve alt boyutları arasındaki ilişki incelendiğinde, çekicilik alt boyutu ve yaş değişkeni arasında negatif yönde, önem verme ve hentbol geçmişi arasında pozitif yönde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı fark tespit edilmiştir. Veteran sporcularla ilgili literatürde serbest zaman alanında yapılan çalışma bulunmadığından, alanı zenginleştirmeye yöneliktir. Araştırma sonucunda, Veteran sporcuların cinsiyet değişkeni açısından serbest zaman ilgilenimi puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır.Serbest zaman aktivitelerinde tek aktiviteye katılan ve birden çok aktiviteye katılan sporcular açısından serbest zaman ilgilenim düzeyleri birbirine yakın olduğu gözlenmiştir. Veteran sporcularında yaş almanın serbest zaman etkinlerinin çekiciliği azaldığı ve spor geçmişi yüksek olan sporcuların ise veteran sporculuk döneminde serbest zaman aktivitelerine önem verme durumlarının arttığı tespit edilmiştir.
