The research was conducted to identify the key factors influencing the performance of Turkish female athletes participating in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In this context, seven female Olympic athletes who participated in the relevant organization volunteered to take part in the research. A semi-structured interview form prepared by the researchers was used to identify the participants’ views on the factors affecting their performance. Individual interviews were conducted with each participant at different times, and all interviews were recorded. All interview transcripts obtained were analyzed and visualized using MAXQDA 2020 software. In the study, the experiences of female athletes were grouped under five themes: factors most affecting performance, environmental factors, physiological factors, socio-cultural factors, and psychological factors. The findings show that the athletes’ experiences are not limited to athletic performance alone, but are also influenced by multidimensional factors such as organizational shortcomings, environmental conditions, psychological pressure, socio-cultural interactions, and physiological conditions. In the study, first-time participants were positively influenced by motivation, team support, and communication with foreign athletes, while experienced athletes, having higher expectations, criticized factors such as organizational shortcomings, hygiene, and nutrition issues. The study reveals that the factors affecting the performance of female athletes are multidimensional and interactive, emphasizing the importance of comprehensively considering physiological, psychological, environmental, and socio-cultural needs in the planning of international sports organizations. In particular, strengthening health support, nutrition services, cultural adaptation, and social support mechanisms are recommended as measures that will increase athletes’ performance and experience satisfaction.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2025Examining the Mediation of Sport Engagement and Self-Confidence in the Effect of Self-Regulation on Burnout in Athletes: A Structural Equation Modeling Study
Akeren, İhsan; Çelik, Hüsniye
The aim of this study was to examine the mediation of self-esteem and sport engagement in the effect of self-regulation on burnout in athletes and to compare these variables according to some socio-demographic factors. The participants of the study, which was conducted with a correlational cross-sectional survey design, were 303 athletes of the Faculty of Sports Science. The Sportive Self-Regulation Scale (SSRS) was used to measure self-regulation, the Sport Engagement Scale (SES) to measure sport engagement, the Trait Sport-Confidence Inventory (TSCI) to measure sport confidence, and the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) to measure burnout. Results indicate that there are significant relationships between SSRS, SES, TSCI, and ABQ in student athletes. While sport age was positively associated with SSRS and SES, chronological age was not associated with any variable. When measures were compared by gender and type of sport, females and single sport participants had lower TSCI means. The 4th grade athletes had low SES and TSCI averages and high ABQ averages. Mediation results reveal that SSRS predicts SES and TSCI, SES does not have a mediating role because it does not predict ABQ, TSCI predicts ABQ and SSRS is a full mediator in its effect on ABQ.
