Özet:

The aim of the study is to adapt the Innovation Scale in Sport (IOC) to the Turkish development of Canario. The research group is created using the appropriate sampling method. The study was achieved in the 2018-2019 season with a scale applied to a total of 166 athletes, including 56% (n=93) basketball infrastructure team athletes and 44% (n=73) football infrastructure at Trabzon Ortahisar Football Club. Data processing is done using SPSS 24 and AMOS programs. Translation, re-translation and the scale translated into Turkish with the Lawshe technique, Varimax rotation and Principal Companents method were subjected to factor analysis. The factor analysis found the KMO value of 0.894 and the Bartlett's test result was p=0,000. In order to determine the extent to which the factor structure arising at the end of the opening factor analysis is suitable for the collected data, the DFA analysis resulted in χ2/sd=1.280, RMSEA=.05, CFI=.91, GFI=.90, AGFI=.91, RMR=.11 AND NFI= .75. For the validity of the measurement, the sequence of the correlation between the SIO and the sub-dimensions was r=.63, p=.00, r=.49, p=.00, r=.51, p=.00 The reliability ratio (Cronbach Alpha) of the Sport Innovation Scale, which consists of 30 substances and three subdimensions, was 0.951. The results showed that the Turkish version of the scale is valid and reliable.
