between pretest and posttest depression scores of intervention and control
groups ANCOVA analysis was conducted. Results revealed that there was a
significant difference between intervention and control group’s students

students of intervention and control groups pre-test depression scores were
controlled, there were significant differences between intervention and control
group students’ posttest depression scores (F_(2-400) = 821.24, p =
.000). It was revealed that volleyball training program have an impact on
having a lower depression scores of the students in the intervention group than
depression scores of the students in the control group. In this respect, in
