Öğe Effects of Plyometric Training on Explosive Strength, Speed and Kicking Speed in Female Soccer Players(Kamla-Raj Enterprises, 2015) Özbar, NurperThe aim of the present study was to examine how to speed, explosive strength, and kicking speed are affected by a 10-week plyometric training (PT) program in elite female soccer players. Twenty adult players from Women First League (age=19.3 +/- 1.6year, height=163.3 +/- 4.7cm, body mass=56.6 +/- 6.1kg) were divided into plyometric group (PG) and control group (CG). Both the groups performed technical and tactical training and matches together. PG performed PT 2 times per week for 10 weeks. No significant difference was found between the groups at pretest variable (p>0.05). The significant improvement was found in the posttest of both groups (p<0.05), except for 10-20-m sprint test in the CG (p>0.05). Sprint, counter movement jump, standing broad jump, peak power and kicking speed test values were all significantly improved in the PG, as compared with the CO (p<0.05). The results indicated that safe and effective PT can be useful to strength and conditioning coaches for explosive strength.Öğe The injuries of Turkish national free-style and Graeco-Roman wrestlers(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2012) Yamaner, Faruk; İmamoğlu, Osman; Atan, Tülin; Evli, Fatih; Karacabey, Kürşad; Sevindi, Tarık; Gümüşdağ, HayrettinAim. The purpose of this study was to investigate the types of injuries in Turkish national senior free style and Greco-roman wrestlers. Methods. The data of 145 wrestling injuries were collected with the help of injury surveillance forms maintained (75 in free style and 70 in Greco-Roman) throughout three years. The relationship between injuries of regions and mechanism, and style preferred by wrestlers were analyzed by using a chi(2) test. Results. The results showed that there were 166 injuries in Greco-Roman style and 179 injuries in free style. The most common injuries in Greco-Roman wrestlers were found in upper extremities (36.75%), lower extremities (19.28%) and head (15.66%), and the most common injuries in free style wrestlers were in lower extremities (40.22%), upper extremities (31.84%) and head (13.41%). (An injury rate per one wrestler was found 2.37 in Greco-Roman and 2.39 in free style). The injuries which occurred during training were 54.20% and during competition were 5.79%. The frequencies of injuries per 100h of training were found 0.11. For competitions the injury frequency per 1 match was found 1.05. The most common injury types in both styles were joint sprain, muscle strain and contusion. Nevertheless, 57.97% of injuries resulted in the injured wrestler were for being absence of training or competitions less than seven days. Finally, There was a significant (P<0.05) relationship between injured parts and both styles. Conclusions. The injuries in Greco-Roman Wrestlers commonly occurred in upper extremities, and in free style wrestlers they commonly occurred in lower extremities. Using proper safety gear and learning a better technique can reduce the risk of injuries during wrestling.Öğe The Effects of Intensive Training on Selected Sex Hormones in Young Wrestlers(Kamla-Raj Enterprises, 2015) Yamaner, Faruk; Kamuk, Yetkin Utku; Bayraktaroğlu, Taner; Karacabey, Kürşat; Gümüş, Mustafa; Akalın, Tevfik CemAdolescence is a crucial period for growth and sports training during this period, besides its positive effects, may have negative effects on growth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of an 8-month intensive training on selected hormones in young male wrestlers. Forty-five subjects (13.94 +/- 0.57) volunteered as the training group (TG) and a control group (CG) of 35 non-athlete subjects (13.93 +/- 0.51) was assigned. TG attended to an 8-month wrestling training program for 5 days a week 90 minutes per day. CO did not receive any exercise sessions. Homogeneity of data was tested by using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (p>.05) and independent samples t-test was used to analyse the significance of the differences between pre and post-tests. Change in luteinising hormone levels was significant (p<.01) but no significant difference was observed in the other hormone levels (p>.05) or BMI (p>.05). In conclusion, long-term intensive training caused alterations in LH hormone responses in young wrestlers.Öğe The Effect of Menstruation on Sports Women's Performance(Kamla-Raj Enterprises, 2016) Özbar, Nurper; Kayapınar, Fatma Çelik; Karacabey, Kürşat; Özmerdivenli, RecepThe aim of this study is to investigate the effect of menstruation cycle on sportswomen performing team sports. In the study, it is practiced an 18-questioned survey to 40 footballer, 40 handball players, 40 volleyball players and 40 basketball players doing sports at a distinguished level being as in total 160 sportswomen related to their menstruation cycle. Frequency and variation analysis is used for the analysis of the data being obtained in the study. Menstruation beginning ages successively 13.02 years, 13.05 years, 13.04 years, and 13.66 years. In all of the athletes normally there is an irregularity with menstruation at a rate of 19.4 percent. It is observed that ten percent of athletes used drug during sports event, 8.8 percent menstruation cycle is painful, 35.6 percent is painless, 55.6 percent is sometimes experienced painful. After menstruation 78.1 percent of athletes stated feeling themselves well. The phase athletes feel themselves the worst is the pre-menstruation phase with the rate of 10.1 percent. During the menstruation phase 19.9 percent of athletes stated that their performance is the same, 2.5 percent stated that better. It is concluded that menstruation cycle does not affect the performance of the athletes taking part in the study.Öğe THE EFFECT OF 8-WEEK PLYOMETRIC TRAINING ON LEG POWER, JUMP AND SPRINT PERFORMANCE IN FEMALE SOCCER PLAYERS(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014) Özbar, Nurper; Ateş, Seda; Agopyan, AniOzbar, N, Ates, S, and Agopyan, A. The effect of 8-week plyometric training on leg power, jump and sprint performance in female soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 28(10): 2888-2894, 2014The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 8-week plyometric training (PT) on the leg power and jump and sprint performance in female soccer players. Eighteen female soccer players from Women Second League (age = 18.2 +/- 2.3 years, height = 161.3 +/- 5.4 cm, body mass = 56.6 +/- 7.2 kg) were randomly assigned to control (n = 9) and plyometric (n = 9) groups. Both groups continued together with regular technical and tactical soccer training for 4 days a week. Additionally, the plyometric group underwent PT for 8 weeks, 1 day per week, 60-minute session duration. During the 8-week period, the control group was hindered from any additional conditioning training. All players' jumps (triple hop, countermovement jump, and standing broad jump), running speed (20 m), and peak power were evaluated before and after 8 weeks. No significant difference was found between the groups at pretest variables (p > 0.05). Significant improvements were found in the posttest of both the groups (p 0.05), except for 20-m sprint test in the control group (p > 0.05). Triple hop distance, countermovement jump, standing broad jump, peak power, and 20-m sprint test values were all significantly improved in the plyometric group, compared with the control group (p 0.05). We concluded that short duration PT is an improved important component of athletic performance in female soccer players. The results indicate that safe, effective, and alternative PT can be useful to strength and conditioning coaches, especially during competition season where less time is available for training.Öğe Corporate Social Responsibility and Sports Clubs: A Case from Turkey(Int Journal Sport Management Recreation & Tourism, 2016) Çoknaz, Dilşad; Sönmezoğlu, Uğur; Eskicioğlu, Yeşer; Pehlivan, MensurThe primary purpose of the study was to analyze the sense of social responsibility of sports clubs in the case of the "First Step with Anadolu Efes Basketball Schools" social responsibility project of Anadolu Efes Sports Club. The secondary purpose was to analyze the process of the project and to determine its contributions/effects. The method used in this study was qualitative in nature and was patterned as a case. Research sample was composed of a manager responsible for CSR activities in Anadolu Efes Sports Club. Data was collected by interview and documents analysis methods. Inductive data analysis was used for data analysis and data was transferred into NVIVO 10 software. When this research is taken into consideration with the scope of the activities of Anadolu Efes Sports Club, it indicates that volunteering and feeling responsible are the starting points for conducting corporate social responsibility projects in sport. The study was designed as a case study therefore data was obtained from a single sample and the documents of this sample. Although the variations of data provided the limitation of the study in this sense must be eliminated by examining other examples in further studies. It is hoped that when CSR studies conducted by sport clubs increase, the relevant limitation would disappear.Öğe A digital movement in the world of inactive children: favourable outcomes of playing active video games in a pilot randomized trial(Springer, 2019) Çoknaz, Dilşad; Mirzeoğlu, Ayse Dilşad; Atasoy, Halil İbrahim; Alkoy, Seval; Çoknaz, Hakkı; Göral, KemalThis parallel randomized controlled trial was aimed to evaluate whether parameters as physical fitness, reaction times, self-perception and enjoyment levels, as well as parental and children perspectives, were affected by active video games in inactive and technologically preoccupied children. Data were collected in a laboratory setting from four randomly selected urban public schools. All 1300 children in grades 3-6 were surveyed for the study. Among the 918 responders, 106 children were determined to be inactive and preoccupied with technology. Children in 3 schools (n = 53) allocated to active video game and in one school (n = 53) allocated to control group were compared by univariate covariance analyses for primary outcomes such as weight, body mass index and fat ratios at the end of 12 weeks. Active video game group significantly showed favourable responses for weight, body mass index and corresponding z scores as well as reaction times and self-perception controlling for age and baseline scores. In addition, enjoyment of the children in the game group by qualitative analysis was high indicating a motivational aspect for the continuation of the games. Diverse contributions of games to physical, social, intellectual and personal development were revealed. Conclusion: Active video games by promoting enjoyment levels and physical activity, as well as contributing to agility, alertness, socializing, and striving, led to a reduction in weight gain. They may be used as beneficial tools diverting children from inactivity and subsequent obesity. Trial registration: This study called AVGAME is registered with the number NCT03720938 in . The trial protocol can also be retrieved from the archives of Abant Izzet Baysal University.What is Known:center dot Nowadays, children prefer sedentary video games that are known to induce weight gain and obesity-related comorbidities.center dot Active video games were shown to decrease weight in overweight and obese children.What is New:center dot Active video games decrease weight increment and reaction times, thus could be used to prevent obesity in inactive non-obese children.center dot Active video games raise self-esteem, induce enjoyment, improve the personal and intellectual development of children in addition to socializing and is a safe alternative to indoor sedentary video gamesÖğe Günümüzde Spor Denilince İlk Akla Neden Futbol Gelir? Sorusu Üzerine Bir Araştırma(2019) Öntürk, Yavuz; Karacabey, Kürşat; Özbar, NurperFutbol tüm dünyada en popüler spor dalı olarak bilinmektedir. Ülkelerde sosyo-ekonomik durumu ayırt etmeksizin tüm kitlelerin takip ettiği bir olgu olan futbol, endüstri halini almış ciddi bir istihdam alanına sahiptir. Sporun siyasi bir yapılanma içinde olduğu kuşkusuzdur. Futbol birçok ülkede siyasi bir araç olmanın dışında, en büyük reklam, propaganda haline gelmiş bir unsurdur. Hatta bazı ülkelerin yerel bölgelerinde neredeyse gündemi sadece futbol oluşturmaktadır. Neden spor denilince ilk akla gelen futbol oluyor? Bunun arkasında yatan sebep nedir? İnsanların ilgisini bu kadar çekmesinin altında ne yatıyor? Futbola yapılan yatırımlar diğer branşlara yapılırsa aynı ilgi ve endüstri oluşumu gerçekleşir mi? Bu araştırmada bu soruları cevaplandırmak amacıyla nitel araştırma yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Çeşitli spor programları, gazete ve dergiler incelenmiş, bazı futbol yazarlarının yazıları takip edilmiştir. Elde edilen görüşler, takip edilen yazılar ve ülkelerdeki branşlaşmaların analizi bulgular kısmında tablolar halinde verilmiştir. Sonuç olarak araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara dayanarak futbola olan ilginin tüm dünyada ilerleyen teknolojiyle birlikte sürekli arttığı ve bir rant olarak meslekler grubunda yerini aldığı ifade edilebilir. Buna bağlı olarak medyanın futbol haber ve programlarını diğer haberlere göre daha fazla yapmasının altında insanların ilgisinin olduğu ifade edilebilir. Futbolun bir başka çarpıcı özelliği ise ekonomik ve milliyetçilik boyutudur. İnsanlar farkında bile olmadan spor pazarında tüketici halindedirler. Gönül verdikleri takımın herhangi bir ürününü satın alması ya da en az bir kere bilet alıp maça gitmesi ya da maç yayını yapan ücretli kuruluşlara para ödeyip maçları izlemesi bile dolaylı yönden insanı futbol pazarının içine alır. Taraftarı oldukları takımı adeta milliyetçilik sembolü olarak algılarlar, bunun sonucunda da özellikle bazı ülkelerde holiganizm kavramı oluşur. Dolayısıyla futbolun kitlelere hitap eden ailelerin toplumsal yapısını içinde barındıran sosyolojik, psikolojik boyutlarıyla da her daim popülerliğini giderek arttıran sosyal bir olgu olarak varlığını sürdüreceği ifade edilebilir.Öğe Hareket Eğitimi Programının 4-6 Yaş Grubu Çocuklarda Vücut Kompozisyonu Üzerindeki Etkisinin İncelenmesi(2015) Özbar, Nurper; Mengütay, Sami; Agopyan, AniÇalışmamız, hareket eğitimi programının, 4-6 yaş grubu çocuklarda vücut kompozisyonunun gelişimine katkı sağlayıp sağlamadığını belirleyebilmek ve bu alanda yapılacak diğer çalışmalara ışık tutabilmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.

As is seen, recreation becomes a dynamic lifestyle and culture element which remains widespread in the modern society. Emphasizing the concept of recreation and its important role on personal development in general on leadership attitudes in particular, it is aimed to reveal the effects of the participation of the secondary students in the recreational activities on the leadership attitudes. To reach this end, a survey is conducted on 289 secondary schools students in Istanbul, Bursa and Izmir. Data is submitted to factor, frequencies, reliability and ANOVA analyses through SPSS 13.0 demo version. The findings reveal that students who are engaging in sports activities have higher scores on transformational leadership traits while students who are not engaging such activities mainly exhibit transactional leadership behaviors. Moreover, the findings reveal that the scores for both transformational and transactional leadership behaviors of students who are engaging sports activities are higher than the scores of students who are not carrying out these activities. The results underline the fact that participation in sports activities as recreational activities plays an important role on the development of leadership attitudes for secondary school studentsÖğe Examining healthy lifestyle behaviours of academic personnel working at a university (sample of Gaziantep University)(2017) Tiryaki, Kadir; Abakay, UğurThe aim of this study was to examine healthy lifestyle behaviours of academic personnel working in a university in Turkey and determine the relationships between healthy lifestyle behaviours and demographic characteristics.

Female handball players (aged: 15.13±0.87 years) were randomly selected into an experimental group (EG; n= 14), and a control group (CG; n= 12). At the begining of the examination, SB-unipedal, DB-bipedal slalom and PFP were measured. Wilcoxon test was used for comparison within groups and Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of between groups. Research findings show that the EG made significantly greater improvements than the CG in the SB-unipedal (left), AP, 30-meter sprint, agility, vertical jump (VJ), and horizontal jump (HJ) performances (p<0.05). Finally, 10-week PT positively affects SB-unipedal (left), AP, 30-meter sprint, agility, VJ and HJ performances. In order to gain positive results for these parameters, the PT program should be added and applied regularly in handball practice by coaches. © Kamla-Raj 2016.Öğe The effects of plyometrıc educatıon traınıngs on balance and some psychomotor characteristics of school handball team(Sakarya University, 2015) Karadenizli, Zeynep İnciThis study aims to search the effects of plyometric education trainings which was applied for 10 week on staticdynamic balance and some psychomotor characteristics of students who were been handball team of school.
