Investigation of the relationship between cognitive behavioral physical activity levels and mental resilience of female volleyball players

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between cognitive behavioral physical activity levels and resilience of female volleyball players according to some variables. The research was evaluated with the relational screening model one of the quantitative research designs. The research group consists of 187 athletes selected by easy sampling method among the 16 teams participating in the play-off competitions held in Adana in the Women's 2nd League competitions in the 2018-2019 Volleyball Season. As a data collection tool, "Personal Information Form" containing demographic information was used in the first part, "Cognitive Behavioral and Physical Activity Questionnaire (CBPAQ)" developed by Schembre et al. (2015) and adapted Turkish by Eskiler et al. (2016) in the second part, and the "Sport Resilience Scale (SMRS)" developed by Sheard et al. (2009) and adapted to Turkish by Pehlivan (2014) in the third part. In the analysis of the data, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, frequency/percentage, normal distribution test (Skewness-Kurtosis test), descriptive statistics as well as in normally distributed data t-test for pairwise comparisons, one-way analysis of variance in multiple comparisons, non-normally distributed data Mann-Whitney U test for pairwise comparisons, Kruskal Wallis-H test in multiple comparisons was used. According to the results, a significant relationship was found between the cognitive behavioral and physical activity levels of the athletes and their endurance levels. In the results of the research, when the analysis results of the data's educational status, age, income status, age of starting sports, year of playing at league level, playing status in the national team, number of weekly training, position variables were examined, it was determined whether there were differences in the sub-dimensions.
