Abstract

Sportive recreational activities benefit individuals physically and mentally. However, it is an undeniable fact that exercise addiction can occur as a result of excessive exercise. On the other hand, it can be said that loneliness will create an addiction to exercise and have negative mental effects on young people. Based on this, the aim of this research is to examine the effect of loneliness felt during participation in sportive recreational activities on exercise addiction. In the research, 469 young individuals who participated in the exercises within the sportive recreational activities were determined as the sample. Loneliness and exercise addiction data obtained from young people through the survey were subjected to statistical analysis. After testing the reliability and validity levels of the measurement model, structural equation analysis was used to test the hypothesis determined in accordance with the theoretical model. In this context, the AMOS program was used. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that the feeling of loneliness felt by young people affected the possibility of becoming addicted to exercise in sports recreational activities by 39.8%. As a result, it has been understood that loneliness is an important determining factor in sportive recreational activities as it can increase the possibility of becoming addicted to exercise. For this reason, it can be said that it is necessary to prioritize social interaction.

Özet

Sportif rekreasyonel aktiviteler fiziksel ve zihinsel anlamda bireylere fayda sağlamaktadır. Ancak aşırı şekilde yapılan egzersiz sonucunda egzersiz bağımlılığı oluşabilme durumu yadsınamaz bir gerçektir. Öte yandan yalnızlığın egzersize karşı bir bağlılık oluşturma ve gençlere zihinsel anlamda olumsuz etkileri olacağı söylenebilir. Buradan hareketle bu araştırmanın amacı, sportif rekreasyonel aktivitelere katılımda hissedilen yalnızlığın egzersiz bağımlılığına etkisinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmada sportif rekreasyonel aktiviteler içerisinde yer alan egzersizlere katılan 469 genç birey örneklem olarak belirlenmiştir. Anket yoluyla gençlerden elde edilen yalnızlık ve egzersiz bağımlılığı verileri istatistiksel analizlere tabi tutulmuştur. Ölçüm modelinin güvenirlik ve geçerlik düzeylerinin test edilmesinin ardından kurgulanan teorik modele uygun olarak belirlenen hipotezin test edilmesi amacıyla yapısal eşitlik analizlerine başvurulmuştur. Bu kapsamda AMOS programından faydalanılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre, gençlerin hissettiği yalnızlık duygusunun sportif rekreasyonel aktivitelerde yaşanan egzersiz bağımlısı olma ihtimalini %39,8 oranında etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, sportif rekreasyonel aktivitelerde yalnızlığın egzersiz bağımlısı olma ihtimalini arttırabilmesi nedeniyle önemli bir belirleyici unsur olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Bu nedenle sosyal etkileşimin önde tutulmasının gerekli olduğu söylenebilir.
