 | | The GSB was an attempt to reshape Turkish sport and reemphasize its role in national development by fostering and equipping children and youth organizations, by contributing both to physical fitness and sport-for-all programs and by contributing to competitive sports. |
 | | The duties of GSB were to "...direct sport in the country, to work out a legislative policy, put sport programs into effect, and to coordinate the practical and theoretical connections or works of federations and different physical cultural organizations" (Fisek 413). |
 | | However, several critics reported that the objectives of GSB were part of the objectives and the duties of several other ministries such as the ministry of education, ministry of health and social services, ministry of labor, ministry of village affairs, ministry of tourism and the ministry of culture. |
