Bu amaç doğrultusunda tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilmiş olan 140 (%53.2) “Kadın” ve 123 (%46.8) “Erkek” toplam 263 üniversite öğrencisi çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılmıştır.Araştırmada, katılımcıların rekreasyonel faaliyetlere katılımlarına engel teşkil edebilecek faktörlerin belirlenmesi için Gürbüz ve Karaküçük tarafından geliştirilen üniversite öğrencilerinin rekreasyonel etkinliklerine katılmalarına engel teşkil edebilecek unsurları değerlendiren “Boş Zaman Engelleri” kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların yaşam doyumlarını ölçmek amacıyla ise Diener ve arkadaşları (1985) tarafından geliştirilen ve Yetim (1993) tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlanan YDÖ (Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği) kullanılmıştır.Katılımcıların kişisel bilgilerinin dağılımlarının belirlenmesi için yüzde (%) ve frekans (f) yöntemleri; verilerin normal bir dağılıma sahip olup olmadığının belirlenmesi için Shapiro Wilks normallik testi uygulanmış ve bunun neticesinde verilerin non parametrik test koşullarına uygun olduğunun anlaşılmasından sonra anlamlı farklılıkların belirlenmesi için Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskall Wallis testleri, Boş Zaman Engelleri Ölçeği ile Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi için ise Spearman Korelasyon testi uygulanmıştır.Sonuç olarak; boş zaman engelleri ile yaşam doyumu arasında, cinsiyet değişkeni açısından bakıldığında yaşam doyumu ile cinsiyet değişkeni arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Boş zaman engelleri açısından ise sadece zaman alt boyutunda anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu, spor yapma durumuna göre boş zaman engelleri arasında da sadece ilgi eksikliği boyutunda anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu saptanmış, yaşam doyumuna göre incelendiğinde ise sportif etkinliklere katılmayan kişilerden kaynaklı anlamlı bir farklılığın olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Refah düzeyi değişkenine göre incelendiğinde yaşam doyumu düzeyinde anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmasına karşın boş zaman engelleri açısından refah düzeyinde ise anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca yaşam doyumu ile boş zamanları değerlendirme güçlüğü çekmek arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu, boş zaman değerlendirme güçlüğü çekmek ile boş zaman engelleri arasında ise tesis-hizmet ve zaman alt boyutlarında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
