Özet:

The aim of this study is to study the various variables of the strategies of college students participating in recreational activities and dealing with free time barriers. The university of study is formed by university students while the sample group is formed by 324 university students identified according to the principle of appropriate sampling and voluntary participation. In addition to the demographic data form as a data collection tool, it was developed by Hubbard and Mannell (2001) and modified by Elkins (2004) to recreational campus sports and validated by Beggs, Elkins and Powers (2005), the Turkish adaptation for Turkish university students was implemented by Yerlisu Lapa (2014) and used the "Selfest Time Disadvantages Treatment Strategy Scale". In data analysis, statistical methods that identify percentages and frequencies to determine the distribution of the participants’ personal information, the data’s confusion and confusion values were checked to determine whether the data showed normal distribution. T-test and anova test analysis methods have also been used (α = 0.05). The findings indicate that there are no significant differences between the age, the level of well-being, the weekly vacancy and the skill variables, while the skill acquisition strategies of the participants are significantly different according to gender, class, participation in sports events and the difficulties in attracting the vacancy assessment. As a result, the strategies of coping with the obstacles they encounter in their free time can vary according to the socio-demographic characteristics of university students. The work on how individuals should cope with the obstacles of their leisure time should be increased as quantitative and qualitative methods. The limitations of the study and the evaluations of future studies are discussed in this sense.
