Futbol Hakemlerinde Mental Yorgunluk Farkındalığı: Kesitsel Bir Analiz

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, futbol hakemlerinin mental yorgunluk farkındalıklarını incelemektir. Bu doğrultuda araştırma grubu olarak Kırıkkale’de ikamet eden futbol hakemleri oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma da futbol hakemlerinin mental yorgunluk farkındalıklarını incelemek üzere nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmış olup, örneklem basit rastgele örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenmiştir Veri toplama aracı olarak ‘’Sporcularda Mental Yorgunluk Farkınfalık Ölçeği’’ (SMYFÖ) kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular Jamovi istatistik programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Analiz yapılırken verilerin temel varsayımlarından normallik ve homojen dağılım testleri yapılmış verilerin normal dağılım göstermesi sonucunda parametrik testlerden t testi, One Way Anova ve Prearson korelasyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Bulgular incelendiğinde; cinsiyet değişkenine göre kadınlar lehine SMYFÖ puanı yüksek çıkmış ve hakemlik klasmanı olarak aday hakemlerin SMYFÖ puanı bölgesel hakemlere göre daha yüksek çıkmış, hakemlerin haftalık antrenman saati ile SMYFÖ puanları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamış, hakemlerin yaşı ile SMYFÖ puanları arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Bu bulgular ışığında erkek hakemlerin daha az mental yorgunluk yaşadığı, hakemlik klasmanı arttıkça mental yorgunluğun azaldığı, daha genç hakemlerin mental yorgunluk farkındalık seviyeleri, daha yaşlı hakemlere göre daha yüksek olduğu ve fizyolojik antrenman yüklenmesinin ise hakemlerde mental yorgunluklarında değişim oluşturmadığı söylenebilir.

Mental Fatigue Awareness in Football Referees: A Cross-Sectional Analysis

Öz

The aim of this study is to examine football referees’ awareness of mental fatigue. Accordingly, the research group consists of football referees residing in Kırıkkale. To investigate referees’ mental fatigue awareness, a quantitative research design employing the relational survey model was used, and the sample was determined through simple random sampling. Data were collected using the Mental Fatigue Awareness Scale in Athletes (MFASA). The data obtained from the study were analyzed using the Jamovi statistical software. Prior to analysis, the fundamental assumptions of the data—normality and homogeneity of variance—were tested. As the data exhibited a normal distribution, parametric tests, including the independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis, were conducted. The findings revealed that female referees had higher MFASA scores compared to males, and candidate referees demonstrated higher MFASA scores than regional referees. No significant relationship was found between referees’ weekly training hours and MFASA scores. However, a significant negative relationship was identified between referees’ age and MFASA scores. In light of these findings, it can be concluded that male referees experience lower levels of mental fatigue, mental fatigue decreases as refereeing classification increases, younger referees exhibit higher levels of mental fatigue awareness compared to older referees, and physiological training load does not lead to changes in mental fatigue levels among referees.
