Abstract

This study examines the Turkish adaptation and psychometric properties of the Exercise Enjoyment scale for adult and adolescent athletes including 330 adolescent athletes (female n = 181; age = 14.8 ± 2.2; age of athletes = 4.5 ± 6.0 and male n = 149; age = 14.2 ± 2.3; age of athletes = 4.5 ± 2.6) and 200 actively athletes of different sports. A total of 530 adolescent and adult athletes, who were adult athletes (female n = 71; age = 21.9 ± 3.0; experience = 8.5 ± 4.6 and male n = 129; age = 24.1 ± 5.1; experience = 9.0 ± 6.8), participated voluntarily. The Exercise Enjoyment scale is a bipolar measurement tool used to measure the participants' enjoyment level during the exercise, consisting of eight (8) items and a single factor structure. According to the confirmatory factor analysis results of the research findings, the fit indices of the adolescent form (χ2/sd=4.106; p<.01, SRMR=.045, RMESA=.097, GFI=.95, IFI=.96, CFI=.96 and NFI=.95) and the fit index values of the adult form (χ2/sd=2.431; p<.01, SRMR=.048, RMESA=.085, GFI=.94, IFI=.95, CFI=.94 and NFI=.91). As a result of the current study, the exercise enjoyment scale may be utilized as a valid and accurate measurement tool for the adult and adolescent athlete population to assess the level of enjoyment from exercise during exercise.

EGZERSİZ VE KEYİF: ERGEN VE YETİŞKİN SPORCULAR İÇİN ÖLÇEK UYARLAMA ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Bu araştırma, egzersizden alınan keyif düzeyini ölçmek için egzersiz keyif ölçeğinin yetişkin ve ergen sporcular için Türkçe uyarlaması ve psikometrik özelliklerini incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Araştırmaya, aktif olarak çeşitli branşlarda spor yapan 330 ergen sporcu (kadın n = 181; yaş = 14,8 ± 2,2; sporcu yaşı = 4,5 ± 6,0 ve erkek n = 149; yaş=14,2 ± 2,3; sporcu yaşı = 4,5 ± 2,6) ve 200 yetişkin sporcu (kadın n = 71; yaş = 21,9 ± 3,0; sporcu yaşı = 8,5 ± 4,6 ve erkek n = 129; yaş = 24,1 ± 5,1; sporcu yaşı = 9,0 ± 6,8) olan toplamda 530 ergen ve yetişkin sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Egzersiz Keyfi ölçme aracı sekiz (8) madde ve tek faktörlü bir yapıdan oluşan egzersiz sırasında katılımcıların keyif düzeyini ölçmek için kullanılan bir bipolar ölçme aracıdır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucuna göre egzersiz keyfi ergen formunda tespit edilen uyum indeksleri (χ2/sd=4.106; p<.01, SRMR=.045, RMESA=.097, GFI=.95, IFI=.96, CFI=.96 ve NFI=.95) ve egzersiz keyfi yetişkin formunda tespit edilen uyum indeks değerlerinin de (χ2/sd=2.431; p<.01, SRMR=.048, RMESA=.085, GFI=.94, IFI=.95, CFI=.94 ve NFI=.91) olarak bulunmuştur. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, egzersiz keyfi ölçme aracı yetişkin ve ergen sporcular için egzersiz sırasında, egzersizden alınan keyif duygusunun ölçülebilmesi için egzersiz ve spor alanında geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olarak araştırmacılar ve spor bilimciler tarafından kullanılabileceği söylenebilir.
