Authors:Arzu SÜSLER DENİZ; İbrahim ERDEMİR Abstract: Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a relationship between menopausal hot flash symptoms and physical activity levels in menopausal women.Methods: The data of this descriptive study consists of women (n=98) between the ages of 45-65 and in the menopausal period. As a data collection tool, participants were asked to use a demographic information form, the "International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Short Form" to determine their physical activity levels, and data on menopausal hot flashes were collected using the "Menopause-Specific Hot Flashes Scale". Normality test was applied to the data obtained and it was determined that it showed normal distribution. Statistical significance level was accepted as p<0.05. Independent samples t test was used for pairwise group comparisons in data analysis. One Way ANOVA analysis was used to compare means of more than two groups.Results: According to the research findings, it was determined that there was a significant relationship between menopausal hot flashes and women's physical activity levels (p<0.05).Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it was determined that hot flash symptoms were less common in women who engaged in vigorous physical activities, moderate physical activities, walking activities and did sports than in women who did low-intensity physical activities and did not do sports.

Authors:Serra Ayşe ÇAKAR SAKA; Filiz ÇAMLIGÜNEY Abstract: Aim: The aim of our study is to examine the effect of high-intensity functional training performed face-to-face and online for 12 weeks on body composition and blood values (HDL, LDL, triglyceride and fasting blood glucose) in sedentary women.Methods: Inactive sedentary female participants aged 24-52 participated in the study on a voluntary basis within the framework of the Declaration of Helsinki. Participants were divided into two groups as face-to-face (n= 21) and online (n=19). Participants were given functional training with 60% loading for the first 6 weeks and then 80% loading with the high-intensity functional training training method 3 days a week for 12 weeks. Bioelectrical impedance and blood tests (HDL, LDL, triglyceride and fasting blood glucose) were taken from all participants prior to the training program and after 12 weeks of training. The data were analyzed in SPSS 22.0 program. Shapiro-wilk test was used for normality test. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used for intergroup comparisons. Results: According to the data obtained, there is a statistically significant difference between the pre and post measurement in weight, body mass index, fat percentage and fat weight in participants who trained face-to-face and online training (p0.05). Although there was an increase in HDL value, there was no statistically significant result.Conclusion: High-intensity functional training performed face-to-face or online for 12 weeks in sedentary women has been shown to have a positive effect on body composition. It was found that HIFT training with face-to-face and online training decreased LDL value but had no significant effect on other values. PubDate: Wed, 20 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +030
Authors:İsa ÇİFTÇİ; Ramazan ÖZAVCİ Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of time management on general procrastination behavior and social media addiction of sports sciences faculty students. Method: The sample of the research consists of a total of 392 university students, 194 female and 198 male, studying at Bingöl University Faculty of Sports Sciences. In addition to the personal information form, "Time Management Scale", "Academic Procrastination Scale" and "Social Media Addiction Scale" were used in the research. After testing the normality of the data obtained, the reliability results were examined. In this study, correlation analysis was applied to determine the relationship between variables and regression analysis was applied to evaluate the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. Findings: According to the research findings, statistically significant relationships were found between students' time management and social media addiction and procrastination behaviors. Accordingly, a statistically significant, negative and low level relationship was detected between schedule and social media addiction. It has been determined that time management has a 3% impact on social media addiction. It was also determined that general procrastination behavior was affected by time management at a level of 4%. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study shows that students' effective time management skills have a positive effect on social media addiction and procrastination behaviors. In particular, it has been determined that students with effective time management skills have less social media addiction and procrastination tendencies. PubDate: Wed, 20 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +030
Authors:Taylan BALCIOĞLU; Ferda İLGEN USLU, Birol ÇOTUK, Adil Deniz DURU Abstract: Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the differences in white matter brain pathways between elite karate athletes and sedentary individuals using Tract Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS). Methods: The study was conducted with 13 elite athletes between the ages of 18-35, with at least 10 years of experience in karate, competing at the European/World Championship level, and 13 sedentary subjects. In this study, anisotropy measurements were obtained from data collected with 3T MR using the FMRIB Software Library (FSL) toolbox. The obtained fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusion (MD), radial diffusion (RD) and axial diffusion (AD) values were compared between groups. Maps for these criteria were given as input to TBSS based on the adult brain template and the differences between the groups were revealed through TBSS skeletal maps. Statistical correction using threshold-free cluster enhancement (TFCE) in FSL revealed differences in white matter brain pathways between elite athletes and sedentary individuals. Results: The mean FA values of 0.680 in elite karate athletes and 0.599 in sedentary participants revealed that there was a difference between the groups in the external capsule. Intergroup comparison using independent samples t test, the mean FA values of the external capsule of elite karate athletes were significantly higher than those of sedentary participants (p PubDate: Wed, 20 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +030
Authors:Sena Hilal ALEV; Gülbin RUDARLI Abstract: Aim: Post-activation potential (PAP) has been shown to improve power and is generally applied with 80% of the 1-rep maximum (1RM) load. However, the effect of PAP at different loads on performance is not clear. This study aimed to compare the effect of PAP with jerk and snatch exercise with different loads on the hammer throwing performance of the athletes.Methods: In the first day, the Eight trained male athlete's height, mass, body fat ratio, and 1RM test were determined for clean-and-jerk exercise. In the second day, dynamic warm-up followed by 3 unloaded throws, 3 throws after 80%1RM PAP, 2 throws after 90%1RMPAP and 1 throw after 100%1RMPAP. There was a rest of 3 minutes between throws and 8 minutes of rest between applications. The differences between the throws and the level of relationship between the dependent variables were evaluated.Results: With consecutive, progressive testing, compared to 100%1RM, there was a significant improvement in the average throwing distance with 90%1RM PAP (p PubDate: Wed, 20 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +030
