Amaç: Kadınların, serbest zaman aktivitelerine katılımı, toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri ile kısıtlanmaktadır. Fakat özgürlük ve kendini\rdışa vurma biçimi olarak ele alınan serbest zaman, kadınların sınırlayıcı\rtoplumsal cinsiyet rollerinden bağımsızlaşmasının ve özgürleşmesinin \rbir aracı olarak görülmektedir. Araştırma nicel yaklaşım çerçevesinde \rbetimsel tarama modelinde tasarlanmıştır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türk \rkadınlarının serbest zaman aktivitelerine katılımını engelleyen ve kolaylaştıran faktörlerin incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmada \rveri toplama aracı olarak ‘Serbest Zaman Kolaylaştırıcıları Ölçeği\r(Gürbüz, Öncü ve Emir, 2009)’ ve ‘Boş Zaman Engelleri Ölçeği (Gürbüz, Öncü ve Emir (2020)’ kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde ise betimsel istatistiki yöntemler; t-testi, ANOVA ve Pearson korelasyon \rtestleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın araştırma grubunu yaşları 18-55 arasında değişen 196 kadın oluşturmaktadır. Bulgular: Çalışmadan elde \redilen verilerin analiz sonuçlarına göre, Türk kadınlarının serbest \rzaman aktivitelerine katılımlarını kısıtlayan temel faktörün, yapısal faktörler olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sağlık/fitness kulüplerine üye olmanın ve \rdüzenli olarak fiziksel aktiviteye katılımın da serbest zaman engellerinin aşılmasını kolaylaştırdığı söylenebilir. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak serbest zaman engel algısı arttıkça, serbest zaman kolaylaştırıcı algısının \rda arttığı ve serbest zamana katılımda karşılaşılan engellere göre stratejiler belirlenerek, bunların aşılmaya çalışıldığı ifade edilebilir. Elde \redilen bulguların, serbest zaman aktivitelerine katılımda; engeller ve \rkolaylaştırıcılar gibi 2 temel faktörün kültürel ve cinsiyet perspektifinden incelenmesi sebebiyle literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Most competitive athletes try a variety of training methods for athletic performance. Insufficiently exercised core muscle groups can adversely affect performance. In every sport branch, basic motoric features (strength, balance, flexibility, etc.), technical-tactical development must be studied according to the relevant branch. In the Taekwondo branch, in addition to the basic motor properties, good balance, flexibility, explosive leg strength and fast recovery are required. Core muscles play a major role in the development of the properties required for this branch. Strengthening the core muscles and stability exercises have become indispensable for not only taekwondo athletes but also athletes of all levels and branches. The core muscles act as bridges between the upper and lower limbs. Strong and stable core muscles kinetically help generate and transfer power. The purpose of this review is to examine core training methods that can be useful for taekwondo athletes. It is thought that giving intensity to the training of core muscle groups in Taekwondo will greatly help improve spine movements and athlete performance. In addition, the applied core training can help improve recovery, flexibility, balance and explosive power during the competition. According to the current literature, the sample group and performance status should be determined well in order for core studies to be useful. In parallel with this, we can say that the adjustment of the number of set-repetitions, the auxiliary materials used, and the variety of movement according to the characteristics of the sample group may be beneficial for performance improvement.

Objective: COVID-19 negatively affected sports environment as well as many other aspects of life. In this process, while all sports stakeholders focused on managing the process with the most economical and effective solutions, athletes at this point had to give a new direction to their training that they had to continue at home. In this context, the research was carried out to collect information on the training processes that elite taekwondo athletes had to continue at home due to the COVID-19 outbreak and their performance status, and to perform analyses. Material and Methods: The research was carried out in a mixed pattern, in which the quantitative and qualitative processes were active, with the volunteer participation of 28 elite taekwondo athletes. Within the scope of the research, the training processes which had to be performed at home, the performance status, and the opinions and thoughts of the athletes on the process were obtained. Descriptive and content analysis techniques were used for the arrangement, analysis and presentation of the data. SPSS 25 statistical software was used to analyze the quantitative data. Results: Findings obtained from the study showed that the athletes mostly create a sports environment in their homes, receive remote coach support, perform 3-7 trainings a week and perform training an average of 7.47 hours a week, as well as they have some physical, motoric and mental problems. Conclusion: As a result, the elite athletes were found to determine a strategy to protect their current status rather than training to improve their performance.
