Abstract:

This study aims to explore the relationship between Covid-19 catch-threateness and sports commitment conditions of athletes who are active in sports clubs in the 2020-2021 season in terms of various variables. In the study, the "detection (detectional) and relative scanning models" were used. The research group consisted of 124 men and 102 women, including 226 athletes. In the selection of participants, a simple random sampling method was used. The personal information form prepared by the researchers as a data collection tool, developed by Cicioğlu and Ilhan (2020) "Sports' New Type Coronavirus (Covid-19) Catching Anxiety Scale - SYTKYKÖ" and developed by Schaufeli, Bakker (2004), adaptation to the Turkish culture by Sırgancı, Ilgar and Cihan (2019) used "Sports' Dependency Scale - SBÖ". The analysis was analyzed using the SPSS 26.0 package program. In the statistical analysis of the data obtained from participants, independent sampling T-Test, ANOVA and Pearson Corelason tests were used. The results of the T-test conducted in the findings of the study have found a significant difference in the sub-dimensions of the gender variable, while a significant difference in the sub-dimensions of intrinsicity and dedication has not been found. Similarly, there is no significant difference in individual and social concerns. The correlation analysis results have not found a significant relationship between the age variable SYTKYKÖ and SBÖ. Furthermore, while there is no meaningful relationship between SYTKYKÖ and SBÖ, the relationship between the lower dimension of being in Zinde and the lower dimension of social anxiety has been identified in a negative direction and a low level. As a result, we can say that athletes’ concerns about catching Covid-19 have no direct impact on their levels of sports commitment and that social concerns will decrease with the increased psychological effect of being in prison.
