摘要:In this study, it was aimed to investigate exercise dependencies according to perceived health levels from participation in recreational activities. In the study, the “Exercise Addiction Scale” developed by Tekkurşun-Demir, Hazar and Cicioğlu (2018) and “The Scale of Perceived Health Outcomes in Recreation” developed by Gómez et al. (2016) and adapted to Turkish by Yerlisu-Lapa et al. (2017) were used. Convenience sampling method was used for sample selection, and face-to-face survey method was preferred for data collection. Independent Sample t-test and One-way ANOVA were used in examining the differences between variables and descriptive analysis were conducted by using the SPSS package program. In addition, Hierarchical and Non-Hierarchical Clustering analysis was used to group the participants according to perceived health outcome levels. A total of 241, including 114 male (47.3%) and 127 female (52.7%), who participated in the activities within the Sport Istanbul Inc., participated in the study voluntarily. When the findings of the research were examined, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the “Over Focus and Emotional Change” sub-dimensions of exercise dependence according to the perceived health level. As a result, it was found that individuals with high health perception had a higher level of over-focus and emotional change than those with low health perception.
