Abstract:

Participation in leisure activities, which have a very positive impact on human life both physically, psychically and socially, is influenced by many factors. Free time participation, motivation, facilitators, obstacles, tactics to cope with obstacles and attitudes are highlighted by many factors (Lapa and Köse, 2018). For this reason, the study has studied the differences between the disadvantages of women studying in different departments at the university. A total of 380 female students have been applied the scale of free time barriers. In statistical processes, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA), LSD and t-test have been used. The scales of leisure time according to the departments have found statistically significant differences in the lower dimensions of individual psychology, facility, time, lack of knowledge, lack of friends and interest and the total scale score. This difference is caused by students who do not have sports education. Women who do not have a sports education have been found worse in individual psychology, lack of knowledge, facility, time and lack of interest than women who do not have a sports education. There was no difference between the teaching department, the training department and the sports management department students in terms of free time barriers. The conclusion has been that getting sports education at university level affects women’s free time barriers in college students. Women who indicate their health status as good and very good have no differences in free time barriers among students. In a study that also covers students who are in a bad or good health condition, it is recommended to investigate the disadvantages of leisure time.
