In this study, it was aimed to examine the leisure motivations of individuals who participated in sports recreational during the Covid-19 pandemic and which sports they engaged to in this process. For this purpose, "Leisure Time Motivation Scale" developed by Pelletier et al. (1991), first adapted to Turkish by Mutlu (2008) and second by Güngörmüş (2012), was used as a data collection tool. 291 (138 women, 153 men) athletes selected by random sampling method participated in our study. Independent Samples t test and One-way Anova test were used to analyze the data. Post Hoc LSD test was used to reveal the difference between groups. According to the findings of the study, no statistically significant difference was found in terms of age, gender, athlete license and sports branch variables. The statistically significant result was found in the lack of motivation subscale in the educational status variable. As a result, it was concluded that undergraduate graduates have low motivation levels in leisure time activities. In addition, it was concluded that there was a tendency towards nature sports activities and individual sports.

Covid-19 Pandemi Sürecinde Spor Yapan Bireylerin Serbest Zaman Motivasyonlarının İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmada, Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde rekreatif olarak spor yapan bireylerin serbest zaman motivasyonları ve bu süreçte hangi sporlara yöneldiklerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla Pelletier ve ark., (1991) tarafından geliştirilen, ilk kez Mutlu (2008) tarafından daha sonra Güngörmüş (2012) tarafından geçerlik güvenirlik çalışması yapılarak Türkçe’ye uyarlanan “Serbest Zaman Motivasyon Ölçeği” veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada rastgele örneklem yöntemi ile seçilmiş 291 (138 kadın, 153 erkek) sporcu katılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Independent Samples t test ve Tek yönlü (One way) Anova testi kullanılmıştır. Gruplar arası farklılığı ortaya koymak için Post Hoc LSD testi yapılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre yaş, cinsiyet, sporcu lisansı ve yapılan spor branşı değişkenlerine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır. Eğitim durumu değişkeninde motivasyonsuzluk alt boyutunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir sonuca rastlanmıştır. Sonuçta lisans mezunlarının serbest zaman etkinliklerinde motivasyon seviyelerinin düşük olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca daha çok doğa sporu etkinliklerine ve bireysel sporlara yönelim olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
