Abstract:

Badminton is to determine whether athletes have mental resilience levels and differences between them (gender, age, sports year, national or non). In the research, data was collected using the scan method and survey technique. The examples of the study were made by 263 volunteers (women: 114 and men: 149) who filled the scale of mental resilience complete and without mistakes. Sheard and Ark. Developed by (2009) the adaptation to Turkey was used by Altıntaş (2015)'s "Sports Mental Resistance Reserve" and the personal information form prepared by the researchers. The Cronbach Alpha reliability ratings for the scale are as reliability 0.72, continuity 0.71 and control 0.66, respectively. For the data obtained before the analysis stage, the normality test was first applied. Considering this situation, the Mann Whitney-U test was applied as a T-test or alternative test for two separate groups in two comparisons, the Anova one-way test or Kruskal Wallis H test as an alternative test in three or more groups comparisons. The data is tested at a = 0.05 level of significance. Athletes' mental resilience score average is a significant difference between the age variable confidence low and the total score levels according to the gender variable confidence, control and continuity the difference is statistically meaningful in favor of men and the total score level according to the nationality variable confidence low and the total score level according to the nationality variable the difference between the arithmetic average of groups according to the nationality of athletes is statistically meaningful according to the sporting year variable the mental resilience is a significant difference between the confidence low and the total score levels. As a result, the athletes who participate in the Turkish Badminton Championship can be said that the variables of age, gender, year of sporting and national status and/or status have an impact on the mental resistance of the athletes.
