Özet:

 Leisure time activities cover a period when individuals are free from obligations or connections for themselves and others and can freely use their time as they wish in activities they choose at their own will. Considering the importance of physical activity in leisure time activities, the aim of this study is to reveal the effect of leisure time participation of middle-aged individuals who engage in regular physical activity on health perception. The study group consists of 127 healthy individuals aged 50 and over female n64, male n63, AgeMean61.186.78. In the study where quantitative research methods were used, the Leisure Time Participation Scale and Health Perception Scale were used as data collection tools. To test the hypotheses created for the study, the preliminary assumptions of the analyses were provided, the reliability of the scales was tested, and multiple linear regression analysis was performed. According to the findings, the recreational, cognitive, social and productive activity variables explain approximately 20 of the total variance in health perception. According to the model, cognitive activity negatively and significantly affects health perception, while social activity variable positively and significantly affects health perception. It was found that recreative and productive activity variables do not have a significant effect on health perception. In line with this result, it is suggested to focus on leisure activities that prioritize recreational and productive activity variables to create a positive effect on the health perception of middle-aged individuals who do regular physical activity.

 Serbest zaman etkinlikleri bireylerin kendisi ve başkaları için zorunluluklardan veya bağlantılardan uzaklaştığı, kendi isteği ile seçtiği faaliyetlerde zamanı özgürce istediği gibi kullanabildiği bir zaman dilimini kapsar. Serbest zaman etkinliklerinde fiziksel aktivitenin önemi düşünüldüğünde bu çalışmanın amacı düzenli fiziksel aktivite yapan orta yaşlı bireylerin serbest zaman katılımlarının sağlık algısı üzerine etkisini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, elli yaş ve üzerindeki 127 sağlıklı birey oluşturmaktadır kadın n64, erkek n63, YaşOrt61.186,78. Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinin kullanıldığı araştırmada Serbest Zaman Katılım Ölçeği ve Sağlık Algısı Ölçeği veri toplama araçları olarak kullanılmıştır. Araştırma için oluşturulan hipotezleri test etmek için analizlerin ön varsayımları sağlanmış, ölçeklerin güvenirliği test edilmiş ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre rekreasyonel, bilişsel, sosyal ve üretici aktivite değişkenleri sağlık algısında toplam varyansın yaklaşık 20sini açıklamaktadır. Modele göre, bilişsel aktivite sağlık algısını negatif ve anlamlı olarak etkilerken, sosyal aktivite değişkeni ise sağlık algısını pozitif ve anlamlı olarak etkilemektedir. Rekreatif ve üretici aktivite değişkenlerinin ise sağlık algısı üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadığı bulgulanmıştır. Bu sonuç doğrultusunda, düzenli fiziksel aktivite yapan orta yaşlı bireylerin sağlık algılarında pozitif etki oluşturabilmek için rekreatif ve üretici aktivite değişkenlerini ön planda tutan serbest zaman etkinliklerine ağırlık verilmesi önerilmektedir.
