This study examines the changes in performance enhancement attitudes and sports supplement belief levels among sports sciences faculty students after education on ergogenic aids and anti-doping practices. In the highly competitive environment of modern sports, nutrition and ergogenic aids are crucial in enhancing athletic performance and preventing injuries. However, research in this area is limited, and existing literature emphasizes the need to explore the relationship between education and these topics.
The study employed an experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test method. The research group comprised 61 students (24 female and 37 male) from the Faculty of Sport Sciences at Bayburt University. Data collection tools included the "Personal Information Form," the "Performance Enhancement Attitude Scale (PEAS)," and the "Sports Supplement Belief Scale (SSBS)." Data were collected via Google Forms and analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. The skewness and kurtosis values were calculated to assess the data distribution, and parametric tests, including t-tests and ANOVA, were applied.
The findings revealed that education on ergogenic aids and anti-doping practices significantly improved students' performance-enhancement attitudes. For example, PEAS scores increased from a pre-test mean of 38.74 to a post-test mean of 44.13 (p < 0.05), representing a change of approximately 13.91%. However, no significant changes were observed in SSBS scores. This suggests that students' beliefs regarding sports supplements may be shaped by prior knowledge and experiences, making them less influenced by the educational intervention.
This study demonstrates that education on ergogenic aids and anti-doping practices can positively influence students' performance-enhancement attitudes. However, more in-depth educational programs may be required to impact beliefs about sports supplements. These findings can guide the development of more effective educational programs to enhance athletic performance and safeguard athlete health. By providing evidence-based insights, this study significantly contributes to the existing literature and supports the development of policies and educational initiatives in anti-doping and athlete education.
本研究调查了运动科学专业学生在接受关于运动补剂和反兴奋剂实践的教育后，其提高成绩的态度和对运动补剂的信任程度的变化。在现代体育竞争激烈的环境中，营养和运动补剂对于提高运动成绩和预防损伤至关重要。然而，该领域的研究有限，现有文献强调需要探索教育与这些主题之间的关系。
本研究采用单组前测和后测的实验设计方法。研究对象为来自巴伊布尔特大学运动科学学院的61名学生（24名女生和37名男生）。数据收集工具包括“个人信息表”、“提高成绩态度量表（PEAS）”和“运动补剂信任量表（SSBS）”。数据通过谷歌表单收集，并使用SPSS 26.0软件进行分析。计算偏度和峰度值以评估数据分布，并应用包括t检验和方差分析在内的参数检验。
研究结果显示，关于运动补剂和反兴奋剂实践的教育显著改善了学生提高成绩的态度。例如，PEAS分数从前测平均38.74分提高到后测平均44.13分（p < 0.05），变化幅度约为13.91%。然而，SSBS分数未观察到显著变化。这表明学生对运动补剂的信念可能受先前知识和经验的影响，受教育干预的影响较小。
本研究表明，关于运动补剂和反兴奋剂实践的教育可对学生提高成绩的态度产生积极影响。然而，可能需要更深入的教育项目来影响对运动补剂的信念。这些发现可为制定更有效的教育项目提供指导，以提高运动成绩和保障运动员健康。通过提供基于证据的见解，本研究对现有文献做出了重要贡献，并支持反兴奋剂和运动员教育方面的政策及教育倡议的制定。
