Document Analysis of Sport and Nutrition Master's and Doctoral Theses

Abstract

Objective: This study was carried out to examine master and doctoral theses which were done about sport and nutrition in Türkiye from 1982 to 2021 in terms of various parameters. Methods: A total of 100 theses, 13 of which are doctorate and 87 master's which were obtained from the theses archive of the Higher Education Council (HEC), were included in the study. This study is designed with the document analysis technique. Contents of data gathering tools and interventions applied in theses are detailed. The obtained data are presented with descriptive statistics using the SPSS 23 package program. Results: It has been determined that thesis was mostly conducted in 2019, quantitative design was used, 100 or less participants were included. Among the data collection tools, questionnaires and biological materials were used more frequently. Most of the theses work with athletes. Nutritional intervention is the most common intervention in theses and finally, most common exercise intervention was cycling and jogging exercises. Conclusion: The quality of the studies in the discipline of sports and nutrition can be increased by expanding the context of the interventions made in theses and cooperate with other fields related to sports sciences.

Spor ve Beslenme Konulu Lisansüstü Tezlerin Doküman Analizi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma 1982-2021 yılları arasında Türkiye’de spor ve beslenme konusunda yapılmış yüksek lisans ve doktora tezlerinin çeşitli parametreler bakımından incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntemler: Yüksek Öğretim Kurulu’nun tez arşivinden ulaşılan 13’ü doktora ve 87’si yüksek lisans tezi olmak üzere toplam 100 adet tez, çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Çalışma, doküman analizi tekniğiyle tasarlanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 23 paket programı kullanılarak tanımlayıcı istatistiklerle sunulmuştur. Bulgular: Tezlerin en fazla 2019 yılında yapıldığı, desen açısında nicel desenin, örneklem büyüklüğünde 100 ve altı katılımcının, veri toplama araçlarından anket ve biyolojik materyallerin daha sık kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Örneklem türü bakımından en sık sporcularla çalışıldığı, en sık uygulanan müdahalenin beslenme müdahalesi olduğu, en sık uygulatılan egzersiz müdahalesininse bisiklet ve koşu egzersizleri olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Tezlerde yapılan müdahalelerin kapsamı genişletilerek, spor bilimleriyle ilişkili diğer alanlarla ortak çalışmalar yapılarak spor ve beslenme disiplininde yapılan çalışmaların niteliği artırılabilir.
