Examination of Talent Selection Methods in Different Sports Branches

The purpose of this study was to determine the talent selection methods applied to athletes involved in different sports branches in Turkey. The research population consisted of 724 volunteer athletes who were active in sports clubs in thirty seven different cities of Turkey. Semi-structured interview form was used as data collection tool. It was determined that no talent test was applied to 512 (70.72%) of 724 athletes who participated in the study and 212 (29.28%) were put to talent test methods by their coaches. Of 212 athletes who were put to talent test, 41 (5.66%) were observed for their physical characteristics, 59 (8.14%) for their competitions, 75 (10.35%) for their basic motor skills (speed, strength, endurance, coordination, balance, flexibility and agility) and 37 (5.11%) for their technical capacities in competitions. As a result; it is estimated that the application of physical, mental, physiological, body composition and genetic tests all together while determining the talent selection in sports will be the most effective method to detect talented athletes

Effect of Sparring Training Model on Liver Enzymes and Muscle Damage in Boxers

The purpose of this study is to examine the acute effect of sparring training model on liver enzymes and muscle damage in boxers.14 voluntary athletes engaged in box (23.71±1.44 years of age; 167±5.89 cm; 62.05±8.89 kg) participated in the study. Sparring training model composed of warm-up (25 minutes), main part (30 minutes) and cool-down (15 minutes) exercises was applied to the boxers. The main theme of the study is composed of the free sub-stroke sparring training model in the liver region. Sparring training applied in the liver region and consisting of 3-minute time periods was repeated 3 times with a 1-minute interval as in the punch bag training. In venous blood samples taken from the study group before and after sparring training, AST, ALT and GGT enzyme activities and CK and LDH levels were analyzed with the spectrophotometric method in Beckman Coulter AU 5800 auto analyzer. Data were analyzed in SPSS 22.0 package program. The significance level was accepted as p0.05). In conclusion, it has been determined that sparring training model applied to boxers affects liver enzyme levels in them and significant increases occur in CK and LDH. More comprehensive prospective studies are required in order to establish the possible damage of punches to the liver region on liver in boxers

Studying of Po-210 and Pb-210 Deposition in Some Lichen Species in Manisa, Turkey

WOS: 000445270600013PubMed: 30132018Lichens are very useful for monitoring of the radionuclide deposition because having a high efficiency capturing the radionuclides from the atmospheric fallout. In the present work, Po-210 and Pb-210 deposition in some lichen species were determined using an alpha spectrometer. Different lichens were collected around Demirci-Manisa and investigated their uses as biomonitor for Po-210 and Pb-210 deposition. The highest activity concentrations for Po-210 and Pb-210 were detected in Neofuscelia pulla (898Bq kg(-1) and 1207Bq kg(-1), respectively). The mean activities in the lichen species ranged from 164 to 584Bq kg(-1) for Po-210 and from 175 to 671Bq kg(-1) for Pb-210. The activity ratios for Po-210/Pb-210 ranged from 0.75 to 1.57.Scientific Research Project of Manisa Celal Bayar University [2012/118]This work was supported by Scientific Research Project of Manisa Celal Bayar University.

Determination of Po-210 and Pb-210 depositions in lichen and soil samples collected from Koprubasi-Manisa, Turkey

Cam Kaynar, Sermin/0000-0002-3022-4908WOS: 000433263900010In this study, we aimed to determine the accumulations of Po-210 and Pb-210 in soil and lichen samples in Koprubasi. The Koprubasi district is home to the largest uranium deposits in Turkey. To date, there has been no study recorded in the literature related to Po-210 and Pb-210 depositions in lichens in Koprubasi. Six different lichen species (Cladonia convoluta, Parmelina tiliacea, Physcia stellaris, Pleurosticta acetabulum, Xanthoparmelia conspersa, and Xanthoria parietina) as well as soil samples were collected from seven sampling locations around Koprubasi. Lichens were used as biomonitors for Po-210 and Pb-210 deposition. The Po-210 and Pb-210 activity concentrations were measured in all the samples by alpha spectrometry. The activity concentrations in the lichen samples ranged from 64 to 577 Bq kg(-1) with an average of 266 Bq kg(-1) for Po-210 and from 78 to 565 Bq kg(-1) with an average of 333 Bq kg(-1) for 210 Pb. The activity ratios of Po-210/Pb-210 ranged from 0.80 to 1.99. In the lichen species, the mean 210 Po activity values varied from 154 Bq kg(-1) in Pleurosticta acetabulum to 390 Bq kg(-1) in Xanthoparmelia conspersa. The range of the mean Pb-210 activity was between 153 Bq kg(-1) in Cladonia convoluta and 378 Bq kg(-1) in Parmelina tiliacea. In the soil samples, Po-210 and Pb-210 activity concentrations were ranged from 14 to 1268 Bq kg(-1) and from 19 to 1113 Bq kg(-1), respectively. While the values of Po-210 and Pb-210 measured in the lichen samples are comparable with those of the literature, the results of Po-210 and Pb-210 in the soil taken from the uranium mine are higher than the results of the literature studies.Manisa Celal Bayar University, Scientific Research Projects Coordination [2012/118]This work was supported by Manisa Celal Bayar University, Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit (No. 2012/118)

Determination of HIF1-Ars11549465 Polymorphism in Elite Skiers

Studies in sports genetics have increased nowadays and the identification of genotype and allelic distributions of candidate genes in different athletes has provided important information to sports scientists. One of the candidate genes studied in sports genetics is the hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1A) gene, which is associated with the endurance phenotype. In our study, we aimed to determine the genotypic and allelic distribution of HIF1A rs11549465 polymorphism in Turkish Elite cross-country athletes. 34 (23 male, 11 female) athletes were included in the study, and 1 cc of blood samples taken for routine analysis after the approval of the ethics committee was used for DNA isolation. The commercial kit was used for DNA isolation and genotyping was performed by Real-time PCR method. The number and percentage of CC, CT and TT genotypes of the HIF1A rs11549465 polymorphism were 24 (72.72%), 8 (24.24%) and 1 (3.03), respectively. In male skiers CC, CT and TT genotype numbers and percentages were determined as 17 (55.51%), 4 (12.12%) and 1 (3.03%) respectively. In female, CC and TT genotypes were determined as 7 (21.21%) and 4 (12.12%). We detected no TT genotype in female athletes. When we look at allel numbers, C allele was determined as 56 (84.84%) and T allele was determined as 10 (15.15%). This is the first study on HIF1A rs11549465 polymorphism on Turkish elite ski cross-country athletes. The higher prevalence of CC genotype and C allele in the athlete group is similar to the previous studies on different groups of athletes. We believe that this study will be an important reference for further studies
