  • INVESTIGATION OF PERCEPTIONS OF LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS AND PERCEPTIONS OF
           INDIVIDUAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP OF FACULTY OF SPORT SCIENCES STUDENTS

    • Authors: Doğukan Batur Alp GÜLŞEN; Aydıner Birsin YILDIZ
      Abstract: The aim of this research is to examine the relationships between the self-perceptions of the leadership behaviors of the students of the faculty of sports sciences and their perceptions of individual entrepreneurship. The research is a descriptive research. The data used in the research were obtained from a total of 304 students, 204 female and 100 male, who participated in the research based on the principle of voluntariness in line with the simple random method. The data used in the research were collected through the Self-Perceptions of Undergraduate Students' Leadership Behaviors Scale and the Individual Entrepreneurship Perception Scale. In the statistical analysis, independent groups t-test and one-way analysis of variance were performed. Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated for the interpretation of the relations between the dimensions. According to the results, gender is a significant determinant in favor of women for the perception of determined leadership behavior. Students who actively engage in sports have high scores in the dimensions of planning, control, self-confidence, motivation, individual entrepreneurship perception, and principled and determined leadership. Sports management students achieved significantly higher scores in control, communication, self-discipline, and participatory and self-confident leadership behaviors. In addition, it has been determined that there are significant relationships between leadership behaviors and individual entrepreneurship dimensions.

  • THE EFFECT OF AQUATIC STRENGTH TRAINING ON ACCELERATION AND SPEED
           PERFORMANCE IN ADOLESCENT SPRINTERS

    • Authors: Mustafa KARADUMAN; Mehmet ZIYAGIL
      Abstract: This study aims to examine the effects of 6 weeks aquatic strength training (ASP) on sprint speed performance (SSP) and strength performance (SP) of knee and shoulder in 7 male and 6 females were adolescent sprinters living in Tarsus district in Mersin city. Measurements were taken by a scale and stadiometer for body weight and height, by a dynamometer for SP, and by photocell chronometer for SSP, respectively. Independent t-test was used for two group comparison, and paired t-test analyzes were performed to determine the effect of ASP for intragroup comparison. Also Cohen’s d analyzes were used to determine effect size of ASP. This study showed a low training effect on SSP in both genders at the end of the ASP, while a large, moderato and low level training effect in male and a low and moderate training effect in females was observes in SP development. The improvement rates of average sprint in the last 40 meters of 100 m and 100 meters average sprint tests of 100 meters sprint are 2.32% and 1.2% for male and 3.63% and 2.15% for females, respectively. In conclusion, a greater effect of ASP was observed in SSP of females and SP of males depending on sexual dimorphism and the fact that older males who are 9.38% older than females complete the rapid developmental phase of the maturation period, in contrast females in rapid developmental period exhibit greater development. During the maturation period of all adolescent sprinters in Turkey, the rapid developmental stages should be determined at year intervals and the coaches should be informed in order to develop ASP suitable for these periods.

  • THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT RECOVERY METHODS ON BLOOD PRESSURE AND HEART RATE
           VARIABILITY IN HEARING IMPAIRED ATHLETES

    • Authors: Ali Kamil GÜNGÖR; Huseyin TOPÇU, Ramiz ARABACI, Şenay ŞAHİN
      Abstract: The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of foam roller (FR), dynamic stretching (DS), and passive recovery (PR) on blood pressure (BP) and heart rate variability (HRV) in hearing-impaired athletes after submaximal exercise. Twelve congenital (sensorineural) hearing impaired (>91dB) basketball players aged between 18-30 participated in the study voluntarily. Participants were randomly divided into 3 groups consisting of 4 subjects, and 3 different recovery methods after submaximal treadmill running exercises were performed in a cross-over design. BP and HRV parameters of the participants were measured at 4 different times, (i) pre-exercise, (ii) post-exercise, (ııı) during recovery, and (iv) after recovery. Data were analyzed with a two-way analysis of variance test for repeated measurements (3 groups x 4 times). There was a significant increase in RMSSD and HF compared to PR after the FR recovery and in 10-minute after recovery (p<0.05). There was a significant decrease in LF at 10 min after recovery exercise in FR compared to PR (p<0.05). No significant difference was found between DS and FR and between DS and PR in neither BP nor HRV parameters (p>0.05). The FR recovery method applied after submaximal exercise in hearing-impaired basketball players significantly improved HRV compared to PR. Performing FR recovery exercises in the post-exercise or post-competition period may positively affect HRV. FR exercise can be recommended to coaches and athletes as a method of recovery after post-submaximal exercises.

  • THE EFFECT OF FLEXIBILITY AND STANDING LONG JUMP ON ACCELERATION IN
           ADOLESCENT SOCCER PLAYERS

    • Authors: İbrahim Halil ŞAHİN; Ömer KAHRAMAN, Maya BUDAK, Turgut KAPLAN
      Abstract: The aim of study is to examine the effect of standing long jump and flexibility on acceleration performance in adolescent soccer players. A total of 33 football players in the U-13 (n=17) and U-16 (n=16) teams of the amateur football club participated in the research. In the research, 10 m (meter) acceleration test, standing long jump test and sit and reach flexibility test were applied. The average values of the measured parameters of the U-16 team players participating in the research; Age 15.75 ± 0.577 years, height 173.19 ± 0.060 cm, body weight 59.06 ± 7.962 kg, 10 m acceleration time 2.145 ± 0.149 sec, flexibility values 29.625 ± 6.009 cm, and standing long jump 1.990 ± 0.170 m. The average values of the measured parameters of the U-13 team players participating in the research; age 12.71 ± 0.470 years, height 151.65 ± 8.116 cm, body weight 41.71 ± 6.080 kg, 10 m acceleration times 2,448 ± 0.316 sec, flexibility values 30.82 ± 3.861 cm, and standing long jump 1.642 ± 0.149 m. When the results of the study are examined, it is seen that the standing long jump explains the 10 m acceleration performance by 27% in the U-16 team players (p<0.05), while the standing long jump explains the 10 m acceleration performance by 27.5% in the U-13 team players (p<0.05). On the other hand, it was determined that there was no significant difference between flexibility and 10 m acceleration performance in both teams soccer players (p>0.05). In conclusion, standing long jump performances should also be taken into account when evaluating acceleration performance in adolescent children, and it is thought that sufficient space should be included in training programs to ensure the necessary development in acceleration.

      Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of intense interval training on heart functions and effort capacities of child athletes. Adolescent (n: 19) footballers who play in different football clubs, whose age average is 16.8±1.2 year and also whose ages vary between 15 and 18 year participated in this study. The footballers were given a pyramidal load training with the maximal running distances of 250 meters (m) -400 m-650 m-950 m with 60% -70% -80% load intensity for 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 1 hour per day. Participator athletes were assessed by electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, and effort test before and after the exercises. Paired sample t-test was utilized to comparatively evaluate the pretest and posttest results in statistical analyses. Left ventricular mass (LV mass), left ventricular mass index (LV mass index), V6 derivation R wave are significantly different in the posttest (p<0.05). There is a statistically significant difference in heart rate and diastolic blood pressure values at rest (p<0.05). Duration of exercises significantly increased in the effort test (respectively 17.2+2.9; 19.6+2 minutes; p<0.001). There also was observed a significant difference in metabolic equality values (MET) (respectively 20.4+3.1; 22.2+2.5; p<0.01). There was found a significant difference in heart functions and effort capacity in child athletes at the end of intense interval training. Performance was enhanced even with 1 hour of training for 3 days a week.

  • INVESTIGATION OF INJURY SITUATIONS OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS PLAYING IN THE
           WOMEN'S SUPER LEAGUE ACCORDING TO POSITION

    • Authors: İzzet İSLAMOĞLU
      Abstract: This study was carried out to determine the injury status of the football players playing in the women's super league according to their positions. A total of 151 athletes (age 22.08±3.81 years) playing in the Turkish Women's Football Super League voluntarily participated in the study. The research was designed with a scanning model as it aims to detect the current situation. A questionnaire prepared by the researchers related to the subject was applied to the athletes. It was determined that 110 of the 151 athletes participating in the study were injured, and 41 football players were not injured. It was determined that defenders (n:49) were injured more than other position players. It has been determined that sprain (n: 16) is the most common type of injury. It has been determined that the most time for football players to return to sports after injury is more than 6 weeks (n: 21), and injuries occur most often during competition (n: 31). It has been determined that the ankle/foot region (n:18) is the body region where the injuries are most common and the injuries mostly occur as a result of collisions with the opponent player (n:12) and opponent player blows (n:12). In order to minimize injuries, special exercise programs for these intended for regions can be included. In addition, education programs can be organized to increase the awareness of trainers and athletes on the subject.

           IN TERMS OF SOME VARIABLES

    • Authors: Sıtkı ÖZBEK; Onur AKYÜZ
      Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine psychological resilience levels of football players according to the variables of age, gender, marital status, education level, place of residence. A total of 480 individuals, 286 female and 194 male, who were actively playing football in a club during the 2021-2022 football season participated in the study voluntarily. “Brief Resilience Scale”, which was developed by Smith et al. (2008) and Turkish validity and reliability study of which was conducted by Doğan (2015), was used in the study as data collection tool. Frequency and percentage analyses were used in descriptive statistics, while T-test was used in the analysis of binary groups, and ANOVA test was used in the comparison of three or more groups. The results of the study showed that the psychological resilience levels of football players differed significantly according to the variables of marital status, education level and family income, while there was no significant difference according to the variables of gender and place of residence. According to these results, it was determined that as the education and financial income level of football players increased, their psychological resilience level increased. It is thought that determining which variables affect the psychological resilience levels of football players can make significant contributions to football players’ increasing their levels of performance.

           COMPOSITION, ANAEROBIC POWER AND BALANCE ABILITY IN ADOLESCENT FEMALE
           VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS

    • Authors: Kenan OKLUDİL; Emre SERİN
      Abstract: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of 8-week bosu balance and strength exercise program (BBSEP) on body composition, anaerobic power and balance ability of adolescent female volleyball players. A total of 30 volleyball players, 15 as the experimental group (14.87 ± 0.92) and 15 as the control group (14.93 ± 0.70), from the 14-16 age groups, who are licensed to play in Adana Volem Sports Club, participated in the study. While the control group athletes continued their regular volleyball training throughout the season, the experimental group was given a balance and strength exercise program three days a week for an extra 8 weeks. While obtaining the data, flamingo balance, vertical jump and standing long jump tests were applied. Paired Samples t-test was conducted in pre-test and post-test measurements of the experimental and control group, while Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation between the effects of training and physical and conditional characteristics. As a result of the study, no significant increase was observed in the mean values of height, body weight and body mass index of the experimental group after 8 weeks of bosu balance and strength exercise program (p>0.05). According to the results of Cohen's d analysis, a moderate improvement was observed in the flamingo balance right and left foot, standing long jump, vertical jump and anaerobic power averages of the experimental group. In the control group, no change was observed at the end of 8 weeks. As a result, it was found that bosu exercises affect the development of balance and strength in volleyball players. Bosu exercises can be included in the training program for balance and strength development.

  • EXAMINATION OF COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND SELF-EFFICIENCY OF PHYSICAL
           EDUCATION TEACHERS WITH OTHER BRANCH TEACHERS

    • Authors: Mehmet Vakıf DURMUŞOĞLU; Bade YAMAK
      Abstract: This study aimed to examine the relationships between teachers' communication skills and their general self-efficacy levels and to determine the differentiation status of physical education and other branch teachers' views on variables. The sample of the study, which was carried out with correlational survey model, consisted of 306 teachers. The data of the study were obtained by using “Communication Skills Scale-Adult Form” and “General Self-Efficacy Scale”. The arithmetic mean and standard deviation values were used in descriptive statistics regarding the variables, and the independent samples t-Test was used to determine the differentiation between groups. Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the variables, and stepwise regression analysis was used to determine to what extent the independent variables predicted the dependent variable. As a result of the research, it was determined that teachers' communication skills and general self-efficacy levels were high, and there was no significant difference between physical education and other branch teachers in terms of level. As another result of the study, it was determined that there was a positive and moderate relationship between all sub-dimensions of the communication skills scale and general self-efficacy. In addition, it was concluded that only the "basic skills and self-expression", "active listening and non-verbal communication" and "compliance with communication principles" dimensions of the communication skills scale were significant predictors of general self-efficacy. It was determined that the variables with the highest predictive power of general self-efficacy were basic skills and self-expression, while the variables of active listening, non-verbal communication and compliance with communication principles were found to be at low levels. The results show that general self-efficacy perceptions may increase as teachers' basic skills and skills of self-expression, active listening, and non-verbal communication and adherence to communication principles increase.

  • COMPARİSON OF AGGRESSİON AND ANGER TENDENCİES OF DEFENSİVE AND
           OFFENSİVE ATHLETES İN SPORTS

    • Authors: Recep Nur UZUN; Mehmet BAYANSALDUZ, Mehmet GÜL, Tolga ŞAHİN
      Abstract: It is thought that aggression and anger can be experienced in sports, which includes competitive phenomena such as struggle, victory and defeat. Therefore, it is important to carry out the study named "Comparison of Aggression and Anger Tendencies of Defensive and Offensive Athletes in Sports". The universe of this research consists of licensed athletes living in Izmir. The sample group is; It consists of 340 athletes in total, 170 of whom play sports in defensive style and 170 do sports in offensive style. In the study, stratified random sampling, one of the random sampling methods, was used. Aggression and Anger in Sports Scale (SSAS), developed by Maxwell and Moores (2007) and adapted into Turkish by Gürbüz et al., (2019), was used as a data collection tool in the study. In addition, a personal information form containing demographic information was directed to the participants. Independent Sample T-Test was used to compare the variables. There is a high level of significant difference between team and individual athletes in the anger sub-dimension in defensive athletes (p<0.05). It has been determined that this significant difference is in favor of the athletes who do individual sports. In the sub-dimension of aggression in defensive athletes, there is a significant difference between the athletes who attended and did not attend psychology seminars (p<0.05). It was determined that the significant difference was in favor of those who attended seminars with psychology content. According to smoking status, there is a significant difference in the anger sub-dimension in defensive and offensive athletes (high level), and in offensive athletes in the aggression sub-dimension (p<0.05). It was determined that there was a significant difference in the sub-dimensions of aggression in offensive athletes, anger in defensive athletes and anger in offensive athletes in favor of non-smokers. Especially in the field of sports, more scientific studies should be carried out in order to minimize aggression and anger tendencies, athletes, trainers, managers. It is recommended to raise awareness of sports elements more.
