Authors:Ayşenur Turgut Kaymakcı; Ertuğrul Gelen, Volkan Sert, Taha Erün, İbrahim Odunkıran, Serhat Kırık Abstract: Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the methods used to determine training load in wrestling.Methods: In the study, 8 male elite wrestlers (Age,21.6±0.91 years; Wrestling Years, 9.3±1.6 years; Height, 172±6.71 cm; Body Weight, 75.3±12.3kg) participated in 3 separate training sessions. The first two sessions had the same training load, while the third training session load was increased by the number of repetitions and training duration. Training load was calculated by Banister Training Impulse (AU), Edwards Training Load (AY) and Session Perceived Exertion Rating (sAED). Heart rate (HR) was recorded with a Polar (Verity Sense) pulse band throughout the sessions, while sAED was taken 30 minutes after the session. The relationship between the sessions load calculations of different methods was checked by Spearman correlation analysis. The loads of the three different sessions were compared by repeated measures ANOVA and Wilcoxon test was used to check between which values the differences were.Results: Within each session, a correlation was found between the methods (p PubDate: Sat, 15 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +030
Authors:Ahmed Mushtak; Amin Azimkhani Abstract: Aim: This study examines the impact of sports organization management on the leisure time evaluation and communication skills of Iraqi youth and sports administration staff. Methods: The statistical population of this research is made up of the staff of sports and youth departments in Iraq. According to the Morgan table, the sample size was 302 people. The measurement tool in this research was a questionnaire, which Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for the reliability of the questionnaires, and its validity was measured by consulting with the supervisors and consultants and sports management experts. In order to analyze the data, descriptive statistical methods such as percentage, mean and standard deviation and inferential statistical methods such as Pearson's correlation coefficient to test the relationships between variables and step-by-step regression to predict leisure-sports decision-making and skills Communication is through the effectiveness of the organization's management, which has been used using SPSS version 21 software. Results: The findings showed that; there is a significant relationship between the effectiveness of organization management and sports leisure decisions and communication skills, and the structural equation model between the variables along with its components has a significant fit.Conclusion: With an effective management, it is possible to strengthen communication skills in the decision-making of leisure programs. And in the conditions of the corona disease, researcher took a big step for different strata of the Iraqi society in leisure activities. PubDate: Sat, 15 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +030
Authors:Emrah Akça; Erdil Durukan, Gökhan Aydın Abstract: Aim: This study aims to examine the effects of 30-meter speed and complex training, conducted over a 10-week period, on the high-intensity running and sprint activity profiles of professional football players.Methods: Twenty first-team football players from the Balıkesir sports team were selected using simple random sampling to participate in the research. Participants were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received an additional 30-meter speed and complex training once a week, alongside their regular football training. Three measurements were taken for both groups: a pre-test in the 1st week, an intermediate test in the 5th week, and a post-test in the 10th week. Data were collected using GPS-based Polar Team Pro devices and analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA. The significance level was set at 0.05.Results: The experimental group, which underwent the 30-meter speed and complex training, showed a significant difference in high-intensity running activity profiles compared to the control group (p0.05). In the high-intensity running activity profile, the experimental group's averages increased progressively across the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd measurements, while no such increase was observed in the control group.Conclusion: The study concluded that 30-meter speed and complex training created a difference in high-intensity running profiles between the experimental and control groups but did not affect sprint running profiles.

Authors:Ozan Özdemir; Asiye Çamlıgüney, Güven Erdil Abstract: Aim: The study aimed to investigate the effects of tennis athletes engaging in differential learning and functional strength training, alongside their routine tennis training, for 8 weeks on performance parameters in tennis, including serve speed, serve accuracy, serve depth, racquet path, and racquet speed, by interpreting it from a biomechanical perspective.Methods: A total of 45 tennis athletes from the Turkish Interuniversity Tennis League were divided into three separate groups: the differential learning group (age: 20.7 ± 1.4 years; height: 171.4 ± 6.4 cm), the functional strength training group (age: 20.3 ± 0.9 years; height: 169.6 ± 4.3 cm), and the control group (age: 20.1 ± 1.3 years; height: 169.2 ± 4.5 cm). The functional strength training group engaged in modified biceps push-ups, modified triceps push-ups, and shoulder raise exercises, whilst the differential learning group participated in tennis serve modeling using soft materials, racquet throwing, and serving practice involving various distances and styles, alongside their functional training regimen. Before and after these training programs, which were conducted twice a week before routine tennis training for a duration of 8 weeks, biomechanical assessments and serve measurements were taken.Results: There was a significant improvement favoring the differential learning group in the racquet side path, racquet behind head velocity, racquet side head velocity, total racquet head velocity, racquet behind path, total racquet path compared to the functional strength training group and the control group (p PubDate: Sat, 15 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +030
Authors:Mehmet Berk Uzunhasan; Ali Kızılet, Elif Sibel Atış Tekeli, Tuba Kızılet Abstract: Aim: This study is to examine the effect of contrast and plyometric training programs on biomotor characteristics and neuromuscular factors in young male football players.Methods: Twenty-four young male football players (age: 16,00±0,51 years; height: 177,21±5,18 cm; body mass: 66,20±6,25 kg) were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Contrast training group (KAG; n=8), plyometric training group (PAG; n=8) and control group (KG; n=8). The study was conducted using a randomized experimental design over an eigth-week period. The participants were tested pre and post to assess sprint, maximum sprint speed (MSS), arrowhead agility, jump height, elektromechanical delay (EMD), intermittent fitness test (30-15 IFT) and anaerobic speed reserve (ASR).Results: KAG and PAG increased significantly in sprint, agility and jump parameters (p PubDate: Sat, 15 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +030
Authors:Orkun Pelvan; Savaş Akbaş, Birol Çotuk Abstract: Aim: The aim of this investigation was to examine the impact of two different running protocols on peak oxygen consumption (VO2max) and regional intramuscular oxygen saturation (SmO2) levels in one highly trained runner.Methods: VO2 and SmO2 were measured simultaneously during a gradually ascending running protocol and a Bruce protocol. VO2 was measured by breath-by-breath spiroergometer gas analysis system (ZAN®, Germany), and SmO2 was measured from both gastrocnemius muscles using a wireless near-infrared spectroscopy device (BSXinsight®, USA). The correlation between VO2 and SmO2 data was determined by Pearson correlation coefficients over the test stage mean values. The change of VO2 and SmO2 within each stage was determined by first-degree polynomials.Results: Peak VO2 in the Bruce protocol (4640 ml/min) was higher than peak VO2 in the running protocol (4390 ml/min), but no difference was observed in end-test SmO2 decreases. There were highly significant negative correlations between VO2 values and SmO2 values (r=-0.960-0.990, p<0.001). SmO2 values measured in the right and left gastrocnemius muscle decreased similarly in both protocols (r=0.993, r=0.987, p<0.001).Conclusion: Central and peripheral physiological processes of oxygen consumption are not always congruent, and the test protocol exert an influence due to the complex interplay of physiological and biomechanical factors.
