Özet:

Purpose: This study was carried out to determine the relationship between the new nutritional fear of individuals who do sports and the nervous tendencies of ortorexia and the nutritional conditions. Individuals and Method: The study was conducted on 107 volunteers between 18 and 64 years of age (53 men, 54 women) who have been in an athletic center in Ankara for at least 3 months between December 2019 and April 2020. The personal characteristics of the participants, eating habits, exercise behaviors were questioned through an survey and antropometric measurements were taken. The New Nutrition Fear Measurement has been used to determine the participants’ tendencies to avoid new foods or try new foods. The scale point X ± SS is considered neophobic. The ORTO-11 scale was used to determine the participants’ healthy nutrition inclinations and was ranked as 23 points and six ortorectal tendencies. The participants’ food consumption conditions were determined by using the Food Consumption Frequency Form. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in terms of gender-by-gender new food fear and ORTO-11 scale scores (p>0.05). As the fear of new foods increases, the consumption of leafed vegetables/foods decreases (p<0.05). In individuals with orthorectic tendency, the consumption of vegetables was higher than in individuals with orthorectic tendency, and the consumption of meat products/sakatates was less (p<0.05). Fear of new foods for weight loss is higher in individuals who do 1-2 times a week; Orthorectic tendency for body development and health protection is often higher in individuals who do 5 times a week or more (p>0.05). The ORTO-11 score for those who have been athletes for twelve months or longer is lower than those who have been athletes for less time (p<0.05). Result: This study has shown that there may be a relationship between new food fear and ortorexia nervousness and that it can affect your exercise behavior. More research is needed to verify these findings.
