BACKGROUND:Body image in people with physical disability is important, but it has received little attention in the research literature.OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to determine whether diff erences exist between adolescents with acquired mobility disability (AMD) and those without AMD regarding body image, and whether physical activity infl uences these diff erences.METHODS: Fifty-eight adolescents, aged 16 to 18 years, participated in this study. Half the participants had some form of AMD while the other half were healthy. Body image was evaluated with the Multidimensional Body Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ) before and after 6 weeks of playing darts. A two way ANOVA was used to analyse the results.RESULTS: At the end of the study, the healthy adolescents scored signifi cantly higher than the AMD group on the subscales of fi tness perception, orientation and overall health perception. No interaction was found between disability and exercise on any subscales of the MBSRQ. CONCLUSIONS:The results of this study demonstrate that people with AMD evaluate their health and fi tness levels as being lower than healthy adolescents and that they are less concerned with fi tness as compared with healthy adolescents. Six weeks of playing darts as a physical activity had no eff ect on improving the self perceptions of the AMD group.

E gzersiz katılımcılarının motivasyon düzenlemeleri ve egzersiz liderine yönelik dönüşümcü liderlik algıları arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmada, araştırma grubu düzenli olarak egzersize katılan 131 erkek, 145 kadın, toplam 276 ( yaş= 27.34 10.07 yıl) bireyden oluşmaktadır. Katılımcıların motivasyon düzeylerini belirlemek için "Egzersizde Davranışsal Düzenlemeler Ölçeği-2" (EDDÖ-2) ve dönüşümcü liderlik algılamalarını değerlendirmek için ise "Çok Faktörlü Liderlik Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Spearman Brown korelasyon analizine göre dönüşümcü liderlik ile içsel düzenleme (içsel motivasyon) ve içe atımla düzenleme arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişkinin; dönüşümcü liderlik ile egzersizde dışsal düzenleme (dışsal motivasyon) ve güdülenmeme düzeyleri arasında ise negatif ve anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğunu ortaya koy- A B S T R A C TT he purpose of this the study was to examine the relationships between motivation levels and perceived transformational leadership of regular exercisers. Sample was consisted of 276 (131 male, 145 female) participants (Mage= 27.34 10.07 years). Behavioral Regulations in Exercise Questionnaire-2 (BREQ-2) was used for determining motivation levels of participants while Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) was used for evaluating perceived transformational leadership of the participants. According to Spearman-Brown Correlation Analysis; transformational leadership was significantly and positively correlated with intrinsic regulation (intrinsic motivation), and introjected regulation. On the other hand, transformational leadership was negatively and significantly correlated with external regulation (extrinsic motivation) and amotivation (p<.05). In
