The purpose of the present study was to compare the gender role among college level male

and female futsal players. Therefore, 77 college level futsal players (37 females and 40 males)

were selected randomly from a Nationally University Tournament teams in Turkey on March

2016. It was used to determine sex roles using the Bem Sex Role Inventory. The data were

analyzed by Mann Whitney U test and the significance level of p was set as <.05. The results

indicated no significant differences in male and female p lay ers’ masculin ity scores (p >.05).

Conversely, the feminine sex role was significantly higher female players than males (p <.05).

Thus, it seems that the high femininity is an important factor for college-level female futsal

players in Turkey.
