معرفی
Kamil Boğaç Iskender serves as both an Instructor at Gaziantep University's Oğuzeli Vocational School in Property Protection and Security and a Lecturer at the Physical Education and Sports College within the Coaching Education Department since 2016, focusing on sports sciences with emphasis on traditional Turkish sports and basketball psychology.
His academic credentials include:
- 2019-2021: Master's degree in Recreation from Mersin University's Faculty of Sports Sciences, Department of Recreation, specializing in Physical Education and Sports Teaching.
Dr. Iskender's research spans Sports Sciences with particular depth in Traditional Turkish Sports (especially Cirit/horseback wrestling), Basketball Psychology, Recreation Studies, and Exercise Physiology. His work examines cultural preservation of indigenous games, psychological profiling of athletes, and socio-cultural barriers to physical activity participation. He investigates how traditional games like hazelnut/walnut-related activities in Turkey's Hopa region function within local communities while analyzing stress management and empathy dynamics among basketball players across demographic variables.
His publication trajectory since 2017 reveals consistent thematic focus: traditional sports documentation dominates his early work (2017), evolving toward exercise physiology applications (2019) while maintaining parallel streams in basketball psychology and recreational barriers. The articles demonstrate methodological diversity—ethnographic studies of cultural games, physiological experiments with EMS technology, and quantitative surveys of athlete psychology—unified by investigation of sport's intersection with Turkish cultural identity and behavioral science.
