| Abstract. | Purpose: The significance of our study is that it aims to help reclaim the amateur spirit under the guidance of trainers, emphasize the social importance of sports through prioritizing this amateur spirit over material gains, and prevent degeneration in sports by creating an ethical understanding of sports and promoting playing by rules Methods: In order to determine the knowledge levels of the flatwater and whitewater canoe trainers about doping, the survey “Knowledge Levels and Views of Doping” was used. Besides, Personal Information Form was given to collect data related to demographic variables. To analyze the data, Percentage Frequency Distribution and Correlation and Regression tests were used. Results: When the “Regression Distribution of Trainers’ View of Doping based on years in Coaching” was examined, it was found out that 13 (59 %) of the trainers with 1 to 3 years experience said that doping runs against sports ethics. The numbers for the other age groups for the same statement were found as follows: 7 (46.7 %) with 4-5 years of experience, 4 (66.7 %) with 6-7 years of experience, 2 (100 %) with 8-9 years of experience and 1 (20 %) with 10 years of experience. Conclusions: Based on the findings of the study, it can be said that the trainers are not adequately knowledgable about doping, but since they are well aware of its harms, they are against it. It was found out that there is not a significant difference (p<0.05) between the attitudes of the trainers towards doping use and their ages, genders, fields, majors they graduated from and years of coaching experience. |
