The relationship between attitude towards sports and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence in university students of sport science

Abstract

Purpose : Studies on the relationship between university students' attitudes towards sports and bodily kinesthetic intelligence have not been reached in the literature. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the attitudes towards sport and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence levels of university students who studying in the sport science. Material : The study group is consisted 268 [n=107 - female, n=161 - male] students. The mean of the age of participants was 21.4 year [± 3.2]. Data was collected by personal information form, Undergraduate Students’ Attitudes Towards Sport Scale and the subscale of Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence of Multiple Intelligence Survey. SPSS 22 program was used in the analysis of the obtained data and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied to determine whether the data showed normal distribution and the significance level was accepted as 0.05 in the analyses. Data were not normally distributed. Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the data of gender and regularly exercise variable. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the age, university, department, and welfare level. Mann Whitney U test was used to determine the significant difference. Spearman Correlation test was applied to determine the relationship between the attitudes towards sport and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. Results : As a result of the research, a high level of significant correlation was found between attitudes towards sports and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. Also, a significant difference was found between regularly exercise and welfare levels [p<0.05]. There was no significant difference in gender, age, university and department variables [p>0.05]. Conclusions : The level of participating in sports and the level of welfare supports the attitude towards sports and the developing of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. Likewise, as the attitude towards sports increases positively, bodily kinesthetic intelligence also increases positively.

Applying active learning by contextualizing robotic applications to historical heritage

“… Spatial involves the potential to recognize and use the patterns of areas and space [11, 101]. Bodily kinesthetic entails the ability to use mental skills to coordinate bodily movements and the potential to use one's whole body or parts of the body to solve problems [58, 85]. Naturalistic involves the ability to classify, identify, and manipulate elements of the environment, plants, animals, or objects [66, 101].…”

The influence of kinesthetic intelligence in enhancing the choreographic creativity of aerobics instructors

“…The higher the kinesthetic intelligence potential of an aerobics instructor, the better their creativity in creating aerobic exercise sequences (Leasa et al, 2017). Kinesthetic intelligence is an expression of the way of thinking of an aerobic exercise instructor that can be used as a modality in assembling a series of aerobic exercise movements (Koçak, 2019). Kinesthetic intelligence in aerobic Slamet Riyadi, Sri Santoso Sabarini, Hanik Liskustyowati, Anita Yuzela.…”

Development of Kinesthetic Movement Identification Instruments for Badminton

“…These four indicators are very important to know in making it easier for prospective athletes to accept and apply the training program obtained so as to reduce the athlete's boredom and frustration in participating in strenuous training (Mason & Burn, 2023). Kinesthetic intelligence is closely related to a person's ability to develop movements so that they display movements that have maximum performance with different beauty from others (Koçak, 2019). There are five basic movements that need to be present to develop good kinesthetic movements, namely body coordination, agility, strength, balance, and eye coordination (Komaini et al, 2022).…”
