Background: It is well-established that, for adolescents to adopt sustainable healthy lifestyle behaviors, not only access to information but also the skills required to translate that information into action are critical. In this field, research that examines the relationship between e-health literacy and sustainable healthy lifestyle behaviors within the context of physical literacy is notably scarce. In this context, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of e-health literacy on a sustainable healthy lifestyle and to evaluate the mediating role of physical literacy in this relationship. Methods: A total of 835 adolescents from high schools across Türkiye voluntarily participated in this study. During the data collection process, the e-Health Literacy Scale, the Perceived Physical Literacy Scale, and the Healthy and Sustainable Lifestyle Scale were utilized. Data were analyzed using the JASP (version 0.18.3.0) software. Correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted, and the bootstrap method (n = 5000) was employed for mediation analysis. Results: The effect of e-health literacy on a sustainable healthy lifestyle was found to be positive and statistically significant (β = 0.452, p < 0.001). Similarly, e-health literacy significantly predicted physical literacy (β = 0.755, p < 0.001), and physical literacy significantly predicted a sustainable healthy lifestyle (β = 0.310, p < 0.001). The mediating effect was also statistically significant (β = 0.234, p < 0.001). The model explained 32% of the variance in healthy lifestyle behaviors. Conclusions: The findings indicate that evaluating e-health literacy and physical literacy together provides a holistic approach to fostering sustainable healthy lifestyle habits among adolescents. It is recommended that intervention programs be structured to encompass both areas of competence.

Güllü, Mehmet; Özcan, Ecesu
In this study, it is aimed to contribute to the determination of the most appropriate spatial dimensions by comparing the dimensions of the indoor and outdoor playgrounds in private kindergartens and public kindergartens in Malatya. In this study, document analysis method was used. When the research findings are examined, it is seen that although there are not specifically multi-purpose halls in public schools other than classrooms, the playgrounds of public kindergartens have large areas where students can engage in activities comfortably compared to private institutions. Again, it has been found that public kindergartens have larger areas in indoor playgrounds compared to private kindergartens regarding quotas, in terms of quota based area measurements.In future research, applying motor skill tests to children studying in public kindergartens and private kindergartens, which have two different service standards, will provide detailed and targeted answers about field competencies from the results achieved.

Özcan, Ecesu; Güllü, Mehmet
Aims: The purpose of the present study is to conduct the content analysis of the international articles focused on the tests and physical measurements of the motor development of pre-school children and thus, to determine the trends in these articles between 2009-2019. Method: The articles were subjected to content analysis to analyse the articles to cover the descriptive information about the identity of the articles, the topic and publication year of the articles, methods and data collection tools, samples and data analysis methods used in the articles and discussion and results and suggestions sections of the articles. The collected data were interpreted on the basis of percentages and frequencies presented in tables and graphs. Results: According to the analysis of the data, the highest number of publications has been made on the applications physical activity programs. In the studies, the most frequently used data collection tools are physical measurements (motor test, anthropometric tests etc.). The motor tests and physical measurements were found to be the accelerometer. Conclusions: As a result, the research findings have drawn attention to the preference of physical activity program applications in preschool children, the intensity of studies for the 3-5 age group and the intensity of the accelerometer data collection tool.
