Sport is a human physiological activity for physical and psychological relaxation. Sport is also considered as a competitive physical activity aimed at using and developing physical abilities and skills. Sport is an activity that contributes to the socialization of human beings through certain physical activities, shows their performance, and contributes emotionally to human development. The purpose of this study is to use metaphors to show the effects that physical education students have on their bodies when they participate in sports. The study group consists of 60 students from the Faculty of Sports Science, Aksaray College, Department of Physical Education and Coach Education. In the study, the qualitative data collection method was used to investigate the metaphorical perceptions of the students of the Department of Physical Education and Sport and Coach Education in the spring semester of the 2021-2022 school year in relation to the topic of "How they feel mentally and physically when they play sports". The study collected data by asking participants to complete the sentence "I will ... when I play sports because ...". The metaphor used the word "like" to connect the subject to the source and asked participants to complete the phrase "because" to obtain more information. Case study and qualitative research techniques were used in the study. To solve and explain metaphors, the work was revealed by uncovering metaphors, sorting metaphors, categorizing metaphors, and determining their validity and reliability. As a result of the information collected, 3 (three) of the participants were categorized as psychological impact (43), physical impact (9), and psychophysical impact (8), and it was found that they wrote 22 metaphor frequencies out of 60 metaphors. In the study group, it was found that they frequently used the words happy, excited, ambitious, peaceful, pleasant, confident, and tired as metaphors in sports. Thus, the study found that psychological effects are often prominent in sports.
