Abstract:

The purpose of the research is to study the behavioral arrangements and wellness perceptions of students at the Faculty of Sports Sciences in exercise. The sample of the study consists of a total of 361 university students, including 149 women and 212 men, who regularly participate in physical activity from two different state universities’ faculty of sports sciences. As a data collection tool, it was used "The Measurement of Behavioral Regulations" and "The Measurement of Well-being perception". In the analysis of data, illustrative analyses, pearson correlation, t-testiveanova analyses were used. In the study, the scale of behavioral regulations in the exercise is under-dimensional and the scale of physical wellness is under-dimensional (r=. -103) in the negative direction; between external arrangement and mental wellness (r=.110) is found that there is a low level of meaningful relationship in the positive direction. In terms of gender, behavioral arrangements in the lower dimensions have seen significant differences in favor of men. According to the place where students live, a significant difference has been found in the low-dimensional and social well-being low-dimensional arrangement and the positive perception of the students about doing exercise and the participation in the exercise has increased as their physical health has also increased. The place where students live has been determined to have a more social impact on the motivation to participate in exercise and wellness levels, especially the students who live next to their family. It has been shown that men have a more active role in exercise than women in students. With these studies, the concentration of the environments where students can exercise in the university life, especially for girls students and the student’s home, and the internal increase of their participation in various activities and exercises can ensure the positive development of the students’ wellness (good condition) levels.
