Background and Study Aim. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of e-sports on physical activity level and body composition. Material and Methods.  The athletes who participated in the study were 19.92± 2.21 years of age, 1.73±0.04 m body height and 78.35±6.52 kg body weight. A total of 137 athletes participated in the study, including 27 from Turkey, 47 from South Korea and 63 from the United States (USA). The data was collected by e-mail from the sports clubs. The athletes who representing their country in international competitions involved in the study. The data obtained were evaluated in the SPSS program. Results.  According to the findings of the study, the body mass index (BMI) of e-sport athletes is 26.03±1.85, the number of physical activity steps is 6646±3400 and the daily e-sport hours are 9.34±1.12. The BMI was determined as USA 26.12, South Korea 26.02 and Turkey 25.84 respectively. The number of physical activity steps was identified as 5255 steps in the US, 7785 steps in South Korea and 7909 steps in Turkey. The daily e-sports hour is set at US 9.63 hours, Turkey 9.29 hours and South Korea 8.97 hours. In comparison of country-based athletes, there was a significant difference between physical activity level and daily e-sports hours at p<0.05. The value of BMI is not different. Although it is not statistically related to the physical activity level and BMI. There was no statistically significant relationship between daily e-sports hours and BMI and physical activity step counts. However, as the time of e-sports increases, BMI increases and the number of physical activity steps decreases. Conclusions.  As a result it is seen in the findings of the research that athletes dealing with e-sports are included in the fat group as a body composition and their daily physical activity steps are low. In addition, according to the results of the research, e-sports are thought to have negative effects on physical health. Thanks to the physical activity programs to be applied to these athletes, it is thought that their body composition and physical activity levels can be improved.

The aim of this study is to examine of the anxiety situations of catching the new type of coronavirus (COVID-19) in elite athletes. The research group consisted of individuals who actively exercise at the elite level. This study has parcipated 151 athletes. In order to measure the anxiety levels of the athletes, was used the New Type Coronavirus (COVID-19) Anxiety Scale (SYTKYKÖ) of the Athletes, whose validity and reliability analysis was performed by Tekkurşun Demir et al. (2020). The analysis of the data obtained was evaluated in the SPSS 23 package program. Athletes participating in the study were 99 (65.6%) team sports (football 26, basketball 7, volleyball 46, handball 20) and 52 (34.4%) individual sports (athletics 17, taekwondo 13, swimming 9, wrestling 9, tennis 4). The athletes participating in the study 73.5% stated that they exercise at home 7.9% stated that they did not exercise at all, 3.3% did exercise in the field and 15.2% stated that they exercised both at home and in the field. In study 42.4% of team athletes and 13.2% of individual athletes "The league should be registered as it is now", 9.9% of team athletes, 7.3% of individual athletes "should continue with the normalization process of the league and 13.2% of team athletes and 13.9% of individual athletes replied that “the league should continue at a later date and the competitions should be completed”. A significant difference was found at the p <0.05 level in the individual anxiety sub-dimension according to the team athletes and individual athletes. No significant difference was found in socialization anxiety scores. As a result; The vast majority of elite athletes state that the leagues should be vacationed or registered during the pandemic process and that it is necessary to exercise at home during this period. In addition, it was determined that the anxiety scores of those who expressed their opinion in the form of playing or registering the leagues at a later date, according to individual anxiety and socialization anxiety. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. Özet Bu çalışma elit sporcuların yeni tip koronavirüse (COVID-19) yakalanma kaygı durumlarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya, elit düzeyde aktif olarak spor yapan 151 sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Sporcuların kaygı durumlarını ölçmek için Tekkurşun Demir ve arkadaşlarının (2020) geçerlilik ve güvenirlilik analizini yaptığı Sporcuların Yeni Tip Koronavirüse (COVID-19) Yakalanma Kaygısı Ölçeği (SYTKYKÖ) kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizi SPSS 23 paket programında değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan sporcuların 99’u (%65.6) takım sporu (futbol 26, basketbol 7, voleybol 46, hentbol 20) ve 52’si (%34.4) bireysel spor (atletizm 17, taekwondo 13, yüzme 9, güreş 9, tenis 4) yapmaktadır. Araştırmaya katılan sporcuların %73.5’i evde egzersiz yaptığını belirtmiştir. %7.9’u hiç egzersiz yapmadığını, %3.3’ü saha da egzersiz yaptığını ve %15.2’si hem ev de hem de sahada egzersiz yaptığını belirtmiştir. Takım sporcularının %42.4’ü ve bireysel sporcuların %13.2’si “lig şuan ki haliyle tescillenmeli”, takım sporcularının %9.9’u ve bireysel sporcuların %7.3’ü “lig normalleşme süreci ile birlikte devam etmeli” ve takım sporcularının %13.2’si ve bireysel sporcuların %13.9’u “lig ileri bir tarihte devam etmeli ve müsabakalar tamamlanmalı” şeklinde cevap vermişlerdir. Takım ve bireysel sporlara göre bireysel kaygı alt boyutunda p<0.05 düzeyinde anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur. Sosyalleşme kaygı puanında ise anlamlı bir farklılığa rastlanmamıştır. Sonuç olarak; elit sporcuların büyük çoğunluğu pandemi sürecinde liglerin tatil edilmesi veya tescillenmesi gerektiğini, bu sürede evde egzersiz yapılması gerektiğini belirtmektedirler. Ayrıca bireysel kaygı ve sosyalleşme kaygısına göre liglerin ileri bir tarihte oynatılması veya tescil edilmesi şeklinde görüş bildirenlerin kaygı puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.
