University Students' Levels of Examining Sporting Environments

Abstract

In the study conducted to examine the existence, effects and usability of sports environments, which are essential for transferring various achievements of sports to students, in terms of university students, whether the total scores of the scale differ according to gender and sport type were determined by Student's t-test, income level, department, grade, age were determined by One-Way Analysis of Variance and intergroup differences were determined by Tukey multiple comparison test. In the study, male participants' scale total score, sports facilities and university sports clubs sub-dimension total scores were higher than female participants. In the sub-dimension of sports facilities, the total sub-dimension scores of female participants were higher than male participants. No statistically significant difference was found in terms of the total score and sub-dimension total of the total score of the university sports environment review of the students according to the type of sport they do. According to the age groups of the students in the study, a statistically significant difference was found in terms of the total score and sub-dimension total scores of the university sports environment review (except for the sub-dimensions of university sports clubs and sports facilities). A statistically significant difference was found in terms of the total score and sub-dimension total scores (except the sub-dimension of university sports clubs) of the university sports environment review levels according to the income status declared by the students. No statistically significant difference was found in terms of the total score and other sub-dimension total scores of the university sports environment review levels according to the departments in which the students study, which is the other variable. As a result of the findings, it is thought that there are few studies based on the literature and the use of the sports environment scale should be studied more. It is thought that future studies should be conducted with more sample groups for the sub-dimension of the sport scale.
