According to Their Positions
Authors: Kemal GÖRAL; Gökhan HADİ, Turgut KAPLAN
Abstract: There are many features that athletes must have in order to be successful in futsal. One of these features is agility based on rapid and sudden change of direction. This study was conducted to examine the agility of futsal players playing in different positions (goalkeeper, defense and attack) and to analyze their responses to different agility tests. The research data were obtained by subjecting indoor soccer players playing in the Universities Futsal League to agility tests and revealing their answers at the end. 30 futsal players playing in the Turkish Universities Futsal League, with an average age of 21.57±1.97 years, participated in the research voluntarily. Pro-Agility Test, 505 and Zig Zag agility tests were used to determine agility characteristics. Futsal players participating in the research, Pro-Agility agility test values 4.56±0.29 sec, 5 0 5 agility test values 2.33±0.18 sec, Zigzag agility test values with the ball 8.33±0.39 sec and without the ball Zigzag agility test values were found to be 6.44±0.31 sec. When futsal players’ answers to different agility tests are compared according to their positions; In all tests, it was determined that the players playing in the offensive zone had the best agility test values; Statistically significant differences were found in the values of Pro-Agility test, 505 agility test, zig-zag test with and without the ball (p<0.05). As a result; In futsal, where there are many rapid and sudden changes in direction, the agility of the players is considered very important for the players in all positions. It can be said that the agility feature of futsal players is in good condition regardless of position, regular measurement of agility features with and without the ball, including studies to improve the agility feature in the trainings, are some very important criteria for the athletes to reach the desired performance level.

Authors: Ekrem AKBUĞA; Murat ELİÖZ, Eda BİLEN
Abstract: Exercise addiction is discussed in various aspects in the field of sports science. The aim of this study is to examine the addiction levels of football and basketball players who are two team sports. Personal information form and Body Exercise Addiction Scale were used in the study. The athletes included in the study consisted of football female (n:30) and male (n:40), basketball female (n:30) and male (n:40) participants. In the comparison made independent of the gender variable, it was determined that the football players had a higher addiction score than the basketball players and they were in the dependent group in both groups. In addition, it is confirmed that male shows higher addiction than female. As a result, in this study, it is determined that exercise addiction is an important risk factor in football and basketball branches which endurance is dominant. It is stated that hard loadings and intense competition periods that require intensive training can also lead to differences in the attitudes athletes towards exercise. Exercise addiction is seen as an important risk factor for athletes that should not be ignored. Therefore, athletes should be informed about exercise addiction and should be followed by their trainers.

- Study the Nutrition Habits and Nutritional Knowledge Levels of Physical
Education Teachers
Authors: Elif KAYALI KARAKUŞ; Güner ÇİÇEK
Abstract: This research aims to examine the relationship between the nutrition habits and nutritional information levels of physical education teachers. A total of 201 physical education teachers of women (n=53) men (n=148), who served in schools under the Ministry of National Education of Corum, participated in the study. As a data collection tool, “Personal Information Form”, “Nutrition habits Form” and “Adult Nutrition Information Level Survey ” are used. The questionnaires were administered online. As a result of our study, the nutritional information levels of physical education teachers were examined and the average points of the basic nutrition and food preference subdimensions were medium. The nutritional information levels of the physical education teachers who eat slowly, receive nutrition education, exercise and describe their nutritional status as well have been significantly higher. When the mean of “basic nutrition” and “nutritional preference” in women were compared with men, no statistically significant relationship was found (p>0.05). As a result, the nutrition habits of physical education teachers were not low, but the levels of nutrition were found to be inadequate. It has been found that the level of nutrition knowledge of physical education teachers who do sports is higher.The necessity of giving regular and effective nutrition education to physical education teachers both in the faculties they graduated from and during the time they work comes to the fore.

- Metaphorical Perceptions of University Students on the Concept of Swimming
Authors: Gökhan ARIKAN; Ali CULHA
Abstract: Metaphors, which are effective in understanding and concretizing concepts, are expressed as one of the most effective mental tools that structure, direct, control and communicate our thoughts about the formation and process of concepts. In other words; What is intended to be emphasized with the concept of metaphor is the explanation of a concept, phenomenon or event by analogy with another concept, phenomenon or event. The meaning that people attribute to the concept of swimming may also differ according to the lifestyle. Based on these considerations, this research aimed to reveal the meaning that people attribute to the concept of swimming. Qualitative research methods were preferred to reveal this meaning through metaphors. The aim of this phenomenological research is to explore the metaphorical perceptions of university students about swimming. The data of the research were collected through a structured form prepared in electronic environment. In the first part of the form, there were questions about the personal information of the participants. In the second part, “Swimming is like ……, which is frequently used in metaphor studies. Because……” structure is used. The data of the study were collected randomly from Harran University students. A total of 268 students, 156 women and 112 men, participated in the study. In the analysis of the data, as a result of listing the codes and topics about how the participants experienced the phenomenon, 6 themes were obtained to form a semantic whole. These themes were “Man’s desire to be free”, “Health and relaxation”, “Physical activity”, “Life struggle” They were gathered under the titles of “identification with nature” and “entertainment”. The 6 topics obtained show positive perceptions in general. According to the findings of this study, it can be said that the students have positive perceptions about the “swimming” metaphor.

- Association of SOD2 Polymorphism (Rs4880) and Competitive Performance in
Track and Field Athletes
Authors: Hasan Huseyin KAZAN; Celal BULĞAY, Erdal ZORBA, Işık BAYRAKTAR, Mesut CERİT, Mehmet Ali ERGUN
Abstract: The rs4880 polymorphism in the SOD2 gene has frequently been associated with the athletic performance of the athletes in different populations. However, there were not any studies in the Turkish elite athletes. Thus, the aim of the study is to evaluate the impacts of SOD2 rs4880 polymorphism on competitive performance of Turkish elite athletes. A total of 60 elite athletes (31 sprint/power and 29 endurance) and 20 controls with the ages of 18-35 voluntarily participated in the study. World Athletics (WA) score table was used to determine the performance levels of the competitive performance/personal best (PB) of the athletes. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed by the genomic DNA isolated from peripheral blood of the participants. Sport type, sex and competitive performance were chosen as the parameters to compare within and between the groups by linear regression models. There were not any significances between the genotype and allele frequencies. Finally, there were not any associations between competitive performance and genotype frequencies within the sprint/power athletes while competitive performance was significantly (p=0.049) correlated with rs4880 polymorphism according to the over-dominant model within the endurance athletes. The rs4880 polymorphism in the SOD2 gene may be linked to the competitive performance of the endurance athletes. Still, further studies with more participants and analyzing multiple factors are needed.

- Predictions on Body Sociology: A Revıew on Herbert George
Wells’ Opinions
Authors: Uğur KESKİN; Muhammet N. ÇAKMAK
Abstract: In this article, the narrative elements of George Herbert Wells (1866-1946), known for his works in the field of science fiction and one of the founders of this field, were evaluated in the context of body sociology. In addition to the data obtained in field studies, Wells’s narratives and similar primary sources can also be examined from a theoretical point of view. Based on this understanding, in this article, the main characters in Wells’s A Story of Days to Come and the aspects that can be discussed in the theoretical context of today’s body sociology are tried to be revealed. Analyzes were carried out to determine which narrative elements of Wells’s narrative characters can be considered as the pioneers of theories and concepts in today’s body sociology literature. In the article, which was carried out as a qualitative research, interpretive phenomenology was used as a research design. As a result of all these studies, the narrative elements of Wells’s narrative characters were put side by side with the unique explanations of the field of body sociology, and it was tried to make the quality of “juxtaposition and relationship building” in scientific studies operative. Through the narrative, description and transfers made from the field of body sociology, the aspects of Wells’s narrative characters that make meaningful contributions in terms of the concepts of “highlighting the body” and “fashion” have been tried to be presented to the attention of the reader by providing literature support.
