Introduction: Esports is a fairly rising and growing entertainment and career platform. The recent changes in the life balance and general health of the players, which are thought to be related to esports, draw attention. Material and methods: 53 professional esports players and 44 non-professional esports players participated in the study. All of the participations was male. Online assessment methods were preferred and participants answered the questions in the Sociodemographic Data Form, Activity Wheel, and Life Balance Inventory. The normality of the data was tested using the Kolmogorow-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests. Demographic characteristics were compared with The Independent Samples T-test and Chi-square test. The Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare LBI subtests scores and occupational performance areas of the sample group. Results: Professional players showed more balanced results on the LBI Relationships subscale. A significant difference was found between the two groups in the field of productivity performance. Discussion: All players interpret their lifestyles as balanced; qualitative research is needed to detail the individual differences and meaning attributed to occupations for all players.

Introduction: Participation in sports and recreational occupations has an important role in the well-being and life satisfaction of individuals. This study was planned in order to evaluate the life balance, which is closely related to the life satisfaction of athletes with physical disabilities. Material and method: The ages of the 12 participants participating in the study ranged from 19 to 47.Sociodemographic Data Form, Activity Wheel and Life Balance Inventory were used as assessment tools. Participants were evaluated their routine satisfaction. Descriptive data were analyzed and qualitative data were presented visually. Results: Participations have a very balanced lifestyle on the Health subscale, an unbalanced lifestyle in Identity, Relationships, and Difficulty/Interests. Individuals' activity repertoire is not wide and they are not satisfied with their routines. Discussion: Supporting athletes in their routine planning and creating awareness of activity diversity will change their satisfaction with their lifestyles and support life balance.

Background: Sensory processing and motor proficiency contribute to movement regulation in adolescent athletes. While motor competence has been widely studied in youth football, the role of trait-level sensory processing remains underexplored. This study examined associations between sensory processing patterns and motor proficiency in adolescent football players. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 116 male youth football players (mean age: 14.16 ± 1.55 years) from a professional academy completed the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile and the Bruininks–Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition, Brief Form (BOT-2 BF). Spearman correlations were computed across 36 sensory–motor comparisons, with false discovery rate (FDR) correction applied. Partial correlations controlled for age and years of training. Results: After FDR correction, sensation seeking showed a moderate positive association with fine motor precision (ρ = 0.49, p < 0.001). Low registration demonstrated a large negative association with fine motor integration (ρ = −0.61, p < 0.001) and small-to-moderate negative associations with bilateral coordination and balance (|ρ| = 0.27–0.32). These associations remained significant after adjustment. Conclusions: Sensory processing patterns were differentially associated with coordination- and balance-related motor domains. Findings should be considered exploratory and warrant longitudinal and sport-specific investigation.

Amaç: Bu çalışma, farklı yurt koşullarında yaşayan üniversite öğrencilerinin uyku hijyeni ve okupasyonel dengeleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Metot: Çalışma, Mayıs-Haziran 2024 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilen kesitsel anket çalışması olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 23.2± 1.5 olan 129 gönüllü üniversite öğrencisi katılmış olup, veriler çevrimiçi anketlerle elde edilmiştir. Katılımcıların uyku hijyenini değerlendirmek için Uyku Hijyen İndeksi (UHI) ve okupasyonel denge düzeylerini değerlendirmek için Okupasyonel Denge Anketi (ODA) kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi için SPSSShapiro–Wilk normallik testi, Pearson/ Spearman korelasyon analizi ve Ki-kare testi uygulanmıştır. Anlamlılık düzeyi p<0.05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %56.6’sı kadın, %43.4’ü erkektir. Erkek öğrenciler de uyku hijyeni skoru 29.48±7.84 kadınlar da 27.83±6.58 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Okupasyo- nel denge skoru; kadınlarda 21.3±4.22 erkeklerde ise 20.3±2.74 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Cinsiyet (p<0.001), oda arkadaşı durumu (p<0.001), yurt konumu (p=0.022) ve çevresel koşulların yeterliliği (p=0.005) yurt tipleri ile anlamlı ilişkiler göstermiştir. Model 1–3 tipi yurtlarda kalan öğrencilerde UHI ve ODA puanları arasında anlamlı korelasyon bulunurken (p<0.05), Model 4–5’te anlamlı ilişki saptanmamıştır. Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonucunda; yurt koşulları ve çevresel faktörlerin, üniversite öğrencilerinin uyku hijyeni ve okupasyonel denge düzeylerini etkilediği görülmek- tedir. Bulguların sonucunda, üniversite öğrencilerinin uyku hijyenini destekleyen, dikkat dağıtıcı çevresel faktörleri azaltan ve yaşam alanlarının ergonomisini artıran düzenlemeler, üniversite yaşamında psikososyal iyilik halini güçlendirmeye katkı sağlayabilir. Anahtar kelimeler: Öğrenciler, üniversiteler, uyku hijyeni, barınma, okupasyonel denge

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between young adults’ perceptions of gender equality and their recognition of psychological and physical dating violence while considering the role of sociodemographic characteristics. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 465 young adults aged 18–24 in Türkiye. Data were collected via an online questionnaire that included the Gender Equality Scale, the Perceptions of Dating Violence Scale, and sociodemographic variables. Nonparametric tests, Spearman correlation analyses, and OLS multiple regression analyses were used to assess group differences, bivariate relationships, and the unique predictive contribution of gender equality perceptions while controlling for sociodemographic variables. Results: The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between lower perceptions of gender equality and greater tolerance for psychological and physical dating violence. Educational level, perceived economic status, and romantic relationship status were associated with differences in perceptions of gender equality and violence, while gender and employment status were not significant factors. Conclusions: This study highlights the link between perceptions of gender equality and attitudes toward dating violence. These findings suggest that individual beliefs and sociodemographic characteristics influence how young adults perceive and respond to psychological and physical violence. Further research is needed to explore these relationships across broader populations and cultural contexts.
