“…It is reported that this situation leads to an increase in the self-efficacy beliefs of the participants, thus enabling an increase in the quality of life of individuals with physical disabilities. In this context, it can be said that the positive social support that individuals with disabilities receive directly or indirectly is important in their motivation to participate in a physical activity ( Durmuş et al, 2021 ; Olsen et al, 2023 ). Within the scope of the research findings, it can be stated that increasing encouraging factors for the participation of disabled athletes in sports and promoting their participation could enhance their respective motivations.…”

IntroductionThe aim of this phenomenological study is to determine the motivational factors in the participation of wheelchair basketball players in sports according to Self-Determination Theory.MethodsThe study group of the research was determined by the criterion sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods. Accordingly, thirteen (13) wheelchair athletes constituted the study group. In the research, a personal information form and a semi-structured interview form were prepared as data collection tools within the framework of the self-determination theory. Interviews were conducted face-to-face with the prepared interview forms. The data were analyzed by reflexive thematic analysis method.ResultsSix (6) themes emerged: constraints, coping strategies, appreciation, positive feedback, need for existence, and development. Sixteen sub-themes related to these themes were identified.ConclusionThe most significant factors causing a lack of motivation in wheelchair basketball athletes were observed to be structural constraints such as access to materials and facilities. Extrinsic sources of motivation were identified as the positive attitudes and behaviors of individuals in their environment, often related to admiration, appreciation, and being set as an example, and this situation has a positive impact on wheelchair basketball athletes. On the other hand, it can be stated that intrinsic motivations such as identity change, gaining self-confidence, and the feeling of success are crucial in overcoming constraints through sports participation.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ergenlik dönemi A-tipik otizmli obez bireylere fiziksel aktivite ve diyet programı ile müdahalenin etkisini ve önemini ortaya koyabilmektir. Tek denekli araştırma modellerinden, tekli başlangıç çoklu yoklama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini; Isparta ilinde yaşayan, dokuz (9) ile on dört (14) yaş aralığındaki A-tipik otizmli çocuklar oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini ise, araştırmaya gönüllü olarak katılmayı kabul eden bir (1) çocuk oluşturmuştur. Araştırma ön ölçümlerin alındığı ilk hafta ve on altı (16) hafta uyarlanmış fiziksel aktivite ve diyet programının uygulanması olmak üzere toplamda on yedi (17) hafta sürmüştür. Veri toplama aracı olarak çocuğun kilo ölçümü her çalışma öncesinde tanita ile ölçülerek kaydedilmiştir. Uygulama sonunda elde edilen veriler, grafik üzerinde gösterilerek analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan katılımcı sayısının bir (1) olması nedeniyle on yedi (17) haftalık süreçte elde edilen veriler ölçek protokolüne uygun şekilde nokta puana dönüştürülerek, meydana gelen değişimi ortaya koymak için çizgi grafiğe dönüştürülmüştür. Araştırma sonunda; katılımcıya ilk hafta fiziksel akitvite ve diyet programı uygulanmadan vücut ağırlığında bir değişiklik tespit edilmemiştir. Katılımcıya on altı (16) hafta boyunca uygulanan fiziksel aktivite ve diyet programı ile katılımcının vücut ağırlığında beş (5) kilogram azalma tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcının vücut ağırlığında beş (5) kilogramlık azalmada katılımcının fiziksel aktivite sıklığı, beslenme alışkanlıkları, ebeveynlerin farkındalığı, sosyo-ekonomik düzey ve psiko-sosyal gibi faktörlerin etkili olduğu düşünülmektedir.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the postgraduate theses on the relationship between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and physical activity registered at the YÖK National Thesis Center between the years 2010-2023 and to examine these theses using the headings of descriptive features, content and methodology. A total of sixty-one (61) theses, forty-four (44) master's theses and seventeen (17) doctoral theses, on the relationship between ASD and physical activity between the years 2010-2023 were included in the study. The data of the study were obtained by using the document review model, which is one of the qualitative research methods, and analyzed by the content analysis method. Within the scope of the findings obtained from the study, it is seen that the postgraduate theses were mostly published between the years 2019-2023 and most of them were completed at Gazi University. The findings obtained show that the master's (49.9%) and doctoral (47%) theses were mostly carried out in Health Sciences Institutes. Thirty-three (33) studies were conducted in the Department of Physical Education and Sports, including twenty-one (21) master's theses (47.7%) and twelve (12) doctoral theses (70.5%). In addition, four (4) master's theses (9%) and two (2) doctoral theses (11.7%) were conducted in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Teaching. A total of twenty-seven (27) studies, nineteen (19) master's theses (41.3%) were conducted by advisors with the title of Assistant Professor, while ten (10) doctoral theses were conducted under the leadership of advisors with the title of Prof. Dr. (%47.6). The sample group of the master's and doctoral studies mostly consists of individuals/children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In addition, the sample group in master's theses (51.5%) and doctoral theses (28.2%) consisted of parents. Of the master's theses in the years 2014-2018 and 2019-2023, 29-30% were studies completed in the field of motor skills and 11-12% in the field of social skills. Of the doctoral theses in the years 2019-2023, 36.8% were studies completed in the field of motor skills and 15.7% in the field of social skills. It was seen that the examined master's and doctoral theses were mostly completed in metropolitan cities such as Istanbul and Ankara. Again, it was understood that postgraduate theses were mostly completed in special education and rehabilitation centers. Quantitative research was mostly applied in postgraduate theses (79.5% of master's degrees, 64.6% of doctoral studies) and the majority used the criterion sampling method (47.7% of master's degrees, 76.4% of doctoral studies). It was also seen that both master's and doctoral theses were conducted in experimental and case study research models. While test battery (41%) and scale (17.9) were used in master's theses, observation form (19.9) and scale (19.9) were used in doctoral theses. Finally, criterion sampling and random sampling methods were preferred in both master's and doctoral theses. As a result, it was seen that the studies completed on individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) increased between 2019-2023 and focused especially on motor skills and social skills.
