    Natural disasters not only cause physical destruction but also lead to various psychological problems affecting the mental health of individuals. This study was conducted to determine the levels of post-earthquake trauma in athletes who experienced earthquakes and whether certain variables made a difference in this situation. The sample of the study consisted of 359 athletes living in 11 provinces affected by the earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, on February 6, 2023. Participants were reached using the Snowball Sampling Method. The Sociodemographic Information Form and the Post-Earthquake Trauma Level Determination Scale were used to collect data. As a result of the descriptive statistics, it was seen that athletes experienced above-average earthquake trauma (M = 65.84). When examined in terms of sociodemographic variables, it was found that women showed more symptoms of earthquake trauma than men, those who experienced the loss of relatives showed more symptoms than those who did not, and those who experienced the loss of a home showed more symptoms than those who did not. In conclusion, while exercise and physical activity are methods used to cope with trauma, being an athlete alone is not sufficient to cope with earthquake trauma. Women, whether athletes or not, experience more earthquake trauma than men. Losing relatives exacerbates the trauma caused by the earthquake. Furthermore, the loss of a home, which prevents individuals from meeting some basic physiological needs, is a significant factor in earthquake trauma.

    Background: Regular exercise during childhood impacts not only physical development but also emotional stability, social adaptation, and behavioral control. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the effects of a 12-week introductory football training programme on violent tendencies, psychological resilience, and social appearance anxiety in children aged 12–14. Methods: A randomized controlled design was used, with 40 children assigned to an experimental group (n = 20) or a control group (n = 20). The experimental group completed 60-min football sessions three times a week, while the control group did not participate in structured activity. The program included a 20-min warm-up, technical and tactical exercises, game-based activities, and a cool-down, targeting physical, technical, tactical, and psychosocial development. Data were collected using the VTS, PRS, and SAAS scales.Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 25 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA), with mixed-design ANOVA, significance set at p < 0.05, and effect sizes reported as partial eta-squared (ηp2). Results: No significant difference was observed in violence tendency scores in the experimental group (p = 0.939). However, a decrease was observed in psychological resilience scores in comparison to pre-test values, and this decrease approached the threshold of significance with a medium effect size (p = 0.153, ηp2 = 0.053). This finding suggests that the intervention may have a limited effect on psychological resilience. While no significant change was detected in the social appearance anxiety variable in the experimental group (p = 0.120), a significant decrease in anxiety levels was observed in the control group (p = 0.029). This finding suggests that factors other than the experimental intervention may have been effective in the control group. Conclusions: In conclusion, the 12-week football training programme demonstrated no significant short-term effect on violent tendencies or social appearance concerns, but may have a temporary effect on psychological resilience. The findings indicate that the impact of sports participation on psychosocial development in children is multifaceted and contingent on individual differences.
