Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the readiness and expectations of the students of sports science faculties regarding the e-Learning process as well as their self-efficacy perceptions. Methods: The research group consists of 146 men and 64 women studying at the faculties of sports sciences, a total of 210 university students. “Personal Information Form”, “Readiness and Expectation Scale for e-Learning Process” and “General Self-efficacy Scale (GSE)” were applied to the participants. In the analysis of the data, the appropriateness of the parametric tests was reviewed and the independent sample t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and simple linear regression analysis were used. Results: In the study, it is seen that there is no significant difference in self-efficacy perceptions and its sub-dimensions according to gender and habit of playing sports actively, but there is a statistical difference between the groups when compared according to grade level. It is found that there is a significant difference in the readiness and expectations of e-Learning in favor of women in terms of only the dimension of factors that affect success according to gender. It is observed that according to habit of playing sports actively, the scores of those who play sports are high in total score averages and in all other dimensions except for the dimension of factors affecting success, and there is a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of access to technology and technical skills when compared according to the grade. It is seen that there is a positive linear relationship between self-efficacy perception and readiness and expectation for e-Learning, and that self-efficacy perception explains 6% of the variance in readiness and expectations for e-Learning. Conclusion: In the research, it is concluded that the self-efficacy perceptions and readiness for e-Learning of those who play sports actively are higher, and that self-efficacy perception is an important predictor of their readiness and expectations regarding e-Learning.

Aim: This research is planned to identify the effect of exercise on death anxiety in women in the post-menopausal period. Methods: This research is an experiment patterned study (Pre-test/post-test control group model). This model is a two-factor experimental design that shows repetitive measurements (pre-test- post-test) and subjects (experiment-control) in different categories. A total of 36 women voluntarily participated in the study in Erzincan, including 18 women in the experimental group who go through menopause and exercise, and 18 women in the control group who go through menopause and never exercise. The experimental group were given Pilates exercises 3 days a week for 8 weeks, and the control group were asked to preserve their daily lives without regular exercise. In the research, personal information form containing sociodemographic variables of individuals and the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) form adapted to Turkish by Akça, Köse (2008) were used as data collection tools. After identifying the distribution characteristics in the analysis of the data, paired t-test was used for in-group comparisons and independence sample t-test was used for intergroup comparisons in order to identify the effectiveness of the exercise program and to discover the difference between the first and last test scores of the groups. Results: In the Death Anxiety Scale, the mean death anxiety score was found to be 8.66 as a result of the pre-test performed in the experimental group. And after the exercise, the mean score was 8.38. Although there was no statistically significant difference, there was a decrease in the death anxiety score averages. The mean pre-exercise death anxiety score of the control group was found to be 8.33. The mean post-exercise score was found to be 8.22. Conclusion: There was no significant effect of 8 weeks of exercise on death anxiety. It is understood that even if exercise has some positive physical and psychological contributions on the subjects during this period, a strong anxiety such as death cannot be eliminated in such a short time.
