Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic process on physical activity levels, sleep quality, anxiety, depression and stress levels of physically disabled athletes and non-disabled athletes.Methods: This study was conducted as an online survey. After recording the physical activities and socio-demographic information of the athletes, sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality questionnaire, anxiety states with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire, depression states with the Epidemiological Research Center Depression Scale and the perceived stress levels with the Perceived Stress Scale. Thirty-two Republic of Turkey Ministry of Youth and Sports’ registered athletes and seventy-three Turkey Physically Disabled Sports Federation’s registered athletes, who over the age of 18 were included in this study. Athletes who didn’t answer at least one questionnaire were excluded from the study.Results: There was no significant difference in COVID-19 incidence, sleep quality, anxiety, and depression levels between the groups (p>0.05). It was observed that there was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of age, age in sports, education levels, professionalism levels, thoughts about home exercises and perceived stress levels (p<0.05).Conclusion: During the pandemic period, physically disabled and non-disabled athletes who continued to exercise at home and their sleep quality, anxiety and depression levels were like each other. We think that in the later stages of the pandemic and after the pandemic, the athletes can be re-evaluated and the athletes competing individually and as a team can be compared.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı COVID-19 salgın sürecinin, bedensel engelli sporcuların ve engeli olmayan sporcuların fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri, uyku kalitesi, anksiyete, depresyon ve stres düzeyleri üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktı.Yöntem: Çalışma, çevrimiçi anket olarak gerçekleştirildi. Sporcuların fiziksel aktiviteleri ve sosyo-demografik bilgileri kaydedildikten sonra Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi Anketi kullanılarak uyku kaliteleri, Yaygın Anksiyete Bozukluğu Anketi ile anksiyete durumları, Epidemiyolojik Araştırmalar Merkezi Depresyon Ölçeği ile depresyon durumları ve Algılanan Stres Ölçeği ile algılanan stres düzeyleri değerlendirildi. Çalışmaya 18 yaş üstü Türkiye Gençlik Spor Bakanlığı’na bağlı kulüplere kayıtlı 32 engeli olmayan sporcu ve Türkiye Bedensel Engelli Spor Federasyonu’na bağlı 73 bedensel engelli sporcu dahil edildi. Anket sorularından en az birini yanıtlamayan sporcular çalışmadan dışlandı.Bulgular: Gruplar arasında COVID-19 görülme oranı, uyku kalitesi, anksiyete ve depresyon düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir fark görülmedi (p>0,05). Grupların yaş, spordaki yaşı, eğitim düzeyleri, profesyonellik düzeyleri, evde yapılan egzersizler hakkındaki düşünceleri ve algılanan stres düzeyleri açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu görüldü (p<0,05).Sonuç: Pandemi sürecinde bedensel engelli ve engeli olmayan sporcuların uyku kalitesi, anksiyete ve depresyon düzeylerinin birbirine benzerlik gösterdiği görülmüştür. Pandeminin ilerleyen dönemlerinde ve pandemi sonrasında daha fazla sayıda sporcu yeniden değerlendirilerek, bireysel ve takım halinde yarışan sporcular da karşılaştırılabilir.
