parallel with this aim, risk assessment level of elite table tennis players is
compared in respect to gender, age, education level, marital status, perceived
level of income, duration of training and taking part in national team. 186
sportsmen, who play actively table tennis at elite level in different sports
club, participated to study. Criterion sampling, which is one of the purposeful

Wallis-H test, which are non-parametric tests, are used to determine whether
there is a statistically significant
relationship between independent variables (gender, age, education level,
marital status, perceived level of income, duration of training and taking part
in national team) and points which are gained through Risk Assessment Scale at
analyzing gained data. p value of <0.05 was considered statistically
significant.
The study results show that, points
of participators, which are obtained from Risk Assessment Scale and its’
sub-factors, demonstrates meaningful distinction according to gender, education
level, duration of training and taking part in national team while it does not
show meaningful distinction according to age, marital status and perceived
