Kapalı cezaevindeki kalan erkek mahkumlarda düzenli fiziksel egzersizin şiddet davranışı, stresle baş etme ve özgüven üzerine etkileri

Fiziksel egzersiz, şiddet, özgüven ABSTRACT Objective: In this study, it was planned to investigate the effects of regular physical exercise on violence, coping with stress and self-esteem at male prisoners staying in a closed prison. Methods: The sociodemographic data form and clinical scales were applied to 98 male prisoners who had not been subject to disciplinary punishment in the last month, 46 of whom had regular physical exercise for 6 months. Conclusion: Our findings support the possibility of using physical activity as a control mechanism in the prevention of aggressive expression. [...]it may be thought that the use of physical exercise as an additional treatment in groups with high violent behavior may increase treatment success. Physical self-concept and self-esteem mediate cross sectional relations of physical activity and sport participation with depression symptoms among adolescent girls.
