摘要：Purpose: In the present study, subjective vitality considered to be one of the contributions provided by participation in physical
activity is examined on a sample of pre-service teachers. When teachers who are important part of education
system are healthy and fit, it will help to build future generations.
Material: The research was conducted in the city of Trabzon, located in the northeastern region of Turkey. The sample of
the study is composed of 328 last grade pre-service teachers (133 women, 195 men, age: 23.14 ± 2.62) studying
at Karadeniz Technical University in the academic year of 2015-2016. Data was collected through Childhood and
Adolescence Physical Activity Levels Questionnaire, Subjective Vitality Scale, and a personal information form
asking for information about gender, doing sports as a certified sportsman/woman and department.
Results: The research results yielded a significant difference between subjective vitality levels of those who do sports as
a certified sportsman/woman and those who do not, and between pre-service teachers of physical education and
those of other departments (p<0,01). There was also a positive and low-level significant relationship between
subjective vitality and physical activity experiences of pre-service teachers (r= .23; p<0.01). However, subjective
vitality did not differ significantly by gender.
Conclusions: The research results seem to support other studies that reveal social and psychological contributions provided by
participation in physical activity. Therefore, participation in physical activity seems to have positive effects on the
subjective vitality of pre-service teachers.
