Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between the reasons for orientation to sports activities and health perceptions of women who receive pilates training. Female trainees who have received pilates training for at least one year under the roof of public education center in Ulus district of Bartın province were included in the study. There are 72 trainees in total in the research group determined by the facilitation method. "Sports Activities Orientation Scale" and "Perception of Health Scale" were used to collect data in the study. In the analysis of the data obtained, KruskalWallis test and Mann Whitney U test were used in SPSS package program. At the same time, Spearman rank difference correlation coefficient technique was used to determine the relationship between sub-dimensions of data collection tools. As a result of the research, no difference was found regarding the variables of age, education level and marital status of the participants. A significant difference was found in the "Socialization" sub-dimension of the scale of orientation towards sports activities in the occupational group variable. This difference is due to the fact that those with the "Private Sector" occupational group have a higher average score than the "Student" ones. A significant difference was found in the "Precision" sub-dimension of the health perception scale related to the monthly average income variable, and this difference is due to the higher average scores of the "2200 TL and Less" and "2201-3500 TL" groups than the "5001 TL and above" group. As a result of the correlation analysis of the sub-dimensions of both scales, it was found that there were low and medium level relationships. As a result; There is a relationship between the reasons for orientation to sports activities of women who take pilates training and their perception of health.
