The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived opinions of Turkish sports high school teachers, students and managers about these high schools. In order to reveal the practical conditions of sports high schools, three survey instruments were developed separately for sport high school students, teachers and managers related to school perception. Participants of this study were 1283 students, 50 teachers, and 26 managers of 11 sports high schools in Turkey. According to the results, participants&rsquo / expectations were not fully satisfied due to insufficient facility, personnel and material infrastructure of sports high schools. Results of this study also revealed that the majority of the students had shown high state of belonging and contentment to their particular sports high school, although managers and teachers had shown neutral scores according to state of belonging and contentment.

Studier har visat att elitidrottare lider av mental ohälsa i nära samma utsträckning som befolkningen i stort. Samtidigt så pekar data mot att ungdomar i gymnasieåldern och unga vuxna är en grupp som har högre förekomst av självrapporterat nedsatt psykiskt välbefinnande. Svenska gymnasieidrottare är dock en grupp vars psykiska välbefinnande ännu inte utforskats i någon vidare utsträckning. Den här studien undersökte det psykiska välbefinnandet i den här gruppen och eventuella samband mellan nedsatt psykiskt välbefinnande och kön, skador och träningsvolym. 49 elever (25 kvinnor/24 män, medelålder 18.6 år) inskrivna vid sex svenska skidgymnasium med status som riksidrottsgymnasier svarade på en webbaserad enkät som huvudsakligen bestod av instrumentet GHQ-12 (General Health Questionnaire-12). Inga statistiskt signifikanta samband mellan nedsatt psykiskt välbefinnande och kön, skador och träningsvolym observerades. / Studies have shown that elite athletes suffer from mental health problems in nearly the same extent as the population as a whole. Other data indicates that adolescents and young adults are groups that have a higher incidence of self-reported impaired psychological well-being than the general population. Swedish high-school athletes is a group whose mental health has not yet been investigated. This study inquired into the psychological well-being of this group and possible relationships between psychological well-being and gender, injuries and training volume. 49 students (25 females/24 males, mean age 18.6 years) admitted at six swedish skiing high schools with status from the Swedish Sports Confederation as national sports high schools filled out a web-based survey which mainly consisted of the instrument GHQ-12 (General Health Questionnaire-12). No statistically significant relationships between psychological well-being and gender, injuries and training volume were observed.
