The study group consisted of n=213 (111 female, 102 male) students between 18-24 years of age who participated in 2016-2017 Universities 2nd Handball League competitions (8 Female Teams, 8 Male Teams). The “Body Parts and Body Features Satisfaction Scale” was used as the measurement tool. There are 26 items for women and 27 items for men in this scale. The One-Way Variance Analysis and Tukey Test were used in the comparison of the satisfaction scores of the male handball players from their body parts with the success levels in competitions, and the Kruskal Wallis Test and Mann Whitney U-Test were used in female participants.According to the satisfaction from body parts and features average scores, the differences between the male and female teams were found to be statistically significant (p<0,05). These differences were detected in İbrahim Çeçen, Erzincan and Doğu Akdeniz University teams in men; and in Atatürk, Sütçü İmam and Erciyes University teams in women.As a result, although there was a statistically significant difference between the average satisfaction scores of the teams, which were the 1st and the last in the tournament, in terms of body parts and features, it was also determined that this situation was not influential on the success rating of the teams

Comparing fatphobic attitudes of male and female students studying at school of physical education and sport

Aşırı kilo ya da obezite çağımızın en önemli sağlık sorunlarından biri olarak bilinmektedir. Vücut ağırlığı fazla olan bireylerin çeşitli fiziksel rahatsızlıkların yanı sıra, özellikle toplumun sergilediği olumsuz tutumlardan kaynaklı psikolojik ve sosyolojik sorunlarla da mücadele etmeleri gerekmektedir. Vücut ağırlığı fazla olan ya da obez kişilere karsı sergilenen olumsuz tutum “Kilofobi” (Fatphobia) olarak nitelendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı da Çukurova Üniversitesi Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulu kadın ve erkek öğrencilerinin kilofobi seviyelerinin belirlenmesi ve karşılaştırılmasıdır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Çukurova Üniversitesi Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulu’nda öğrenim gören 1., 2., 3. ve 4. sınıfa devam eden sınıf genç kadın ve erkek öğrenciler oluşturmuştur (N= 467). Veri toplama aracı olarak “Kilofobi Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, araştırma sorusuna uygun olarak parametrik hipotez testlerinden ikisi olan bağımsız t-testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel analizler için SPSS 16.00 (Statistical Package Social Science) istatistik paket programı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda genç kadın ( = 3.55±.69) ve erkek ( = 3.62±.69) öğrencilerin kilofobi seviyeleri orta düzeyde bulunmakla birlikte, genç kadın ve erkek öğrencilerin kilofobi seviyeleri arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır ( t(465)= 1.11, p>.05). Bununla birlikte Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulu’nun 3 farklı bölümünde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin kilofobi değerleri arasında da istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır (F(2, 423)=.04, p>.05). Elde edilen bilgiler doğrultusunda Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin vücut ağırlığı fazla olan bireylere karşı olumsuz tutumlarının azaltılması ve ortadan kaldırılması amacı ile eğitim programları geliştirilmesi, seminerler düzenlenmesi gibi eğitici etkinliklerin yapılması önerilmektedir.Obesity is one of the most crucial health problems in the world.
