INVESTIGATION OF PRESCHOOL TEACHERS' ATTITUDES TO PLAY

This research is a descriptive study meant to determine the attitudes of preschool teachers towards playing games which are containing physical activity. The universe of the study consists of pre-school teachers working in Gaziantep. There were 450 (male 110, female 340) teachers in the sample group. The Gameplay Scale developed by Hazar (2015) was used to obtain the research data. Independent t-test, One Way Anova and Pearson correlation analysis were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, in the study conducted to determine the attitudes of preschool teachers towards playing games containing physical activity, it was found that male preschool teachers' game passion and risk-taking attitudes were higher than female teachers', those with less professional experience had higher game passions than more experienced teachers. It has been determined that the social cohesion levels of those who have the above-mentioned experience are higher than the subgroups. While it was determined that those who did not have children had higher game passion and desire to play, a positive significant correlation was found between the scores obtained from the sub-dimensions of the scale by both male and female preschool teachers.  Article visualizations

ACUTE EFFECT OF CIRCUIT AEROBIC AND TRADITIONAL AEROBIC TRAINING ON HAMSTRING FLEXIBILITY IN SEDENTARY WOMEN

The aim of this study is investigation of acute effect of circuit aerobic exercise and traditional aerobic exercise on hamstring muscle flexibility in sedentary women. Forty four sedentary women voluntarily participated in this study as subject. Subjects divided two groups as circuit aerobic training group (n=24), and traditional aerobic training group (n=20). For hamstring flexibility, modified sit and reach test was used. The test was applied three times as: before warm-up (T1), after immediately warm-up (T2), and after immediately exercise (T3). For warm-up intervention, 15 min mild running and static stretching were performed. Traditional aerobic exercise intervention consisted of 30 min moderate interval treadmill running. Circuit aerobic exercise intervention consisted of 30 min, 3x4 station (bench-step, jumping rope, cycling, treadmill running), and all station maintained to 3 min load with 2 min rest. Both training intervention performed at 65-75% HRmax that controlled with chest band. For statistical analysis, 2x3 mixed factor ANOVA and Bonferroni correction were used. Hamstring flexibility determined in the traditional aerobic exercise group as T1 by 13.90±4.22 cm, T2 by 19.90±4.55 cm, T3 by 29.45±6.54 cm; in the circuit aerobic exercise group as T1 by 21.20±6.89 cm, T2 by 24.08±6.67 cm, T3 by 25.62±6.67 cm. Differences between the three measurements of both groups were found statistically significant (p < 0.05). There were significant differences between T3 and T1-T2; and between T2 and T1 in both groups (p < 0.05). Differences in traditional aerobic exercise group were found more significant than circuit aerobic exercise group (p < 0.05). In summary, it could be said that hamstring flexibility increased after aerobic exercise, and at this point, traditional aerobic exercise has one step ahead of circuit aerobic exercise.  Article visualizations

A RESEARCH ON THE ROLE OF RELATIVE AGE EFFECTIVENESS IN SPORTS TERMINATION

Development in children; may vary according to the growth stages. Therefore, the age factor is one of the most controversial topics in child training. Children belonging to the same age group develop at different speeds and at different times according to each other. Because of the rapid development of childhood during puberty, even during the birth of the age of the developmental superiority can be seen even at birth. This suggests that children may fall into disadvantages within the same age group, according to the birth month. It is believed that children are affected by this disadvantage as well as external factors in sport finishing. The Naili Moran Age Groups Races organized by the Turkish Athletics Federation (TAF) to strengthen infrastructure work include sportspeople aged 12-15 years. The study was based on the participation of these age groups for the 2016 and 2017 seasons, and the data was downloaded from the TAF website. In the study, the achievement levels of 328 athletes (n = 172) and male (n = 156) were examined. In this study, four quarters of a year were separated and success and failure rates of the athletes were determined according to the quarters. For statistical analysis, in the SPSS 22.0 program, independent samples t test, one way ANOVA and LSD correction tests were used. When the months of birth of the male and female athletes were examined, it was seen that the births were higher in the first quarter of the year for each age group. It was observed that the athletes born in the first quarter were more successful than the athletes born in the other quarters. It was determined that the athletes who continued the sports in the following year (2017) were successful and the athletes who had dropped in the following year had a failed year in the 2016 season. It is thought that the bad grades obtained in the termination of the sport are influenced and the success status is due to the Relative Age Effect.  Article visualizations

INVESTIGATION OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE LEVEL OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

This study was conducted to compare the levels of emotional intelligence of first and fourth grade students at Aksaray University and Kırıkkale University. The research group consisted of 369 university students attending coaching and teaching departments in Aksaray University Physical Education and Sports High School and Kırıkkale University Sports Sciences Faculty. The Surveyed Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale was used in the study. In the analysis of the data, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, ANOVA and t-test were used on the SPSS package program. As a result of the research, no significant difference was found between students' gender, place of residence variables and emotional intelligence levels (p>0.05). Significant differences were observed between the sub dimensions of emotional intelligence and the department, the class, and situations whether they were professional athletes (p<0.05).  Article visualizations

ACUTE EFFECT OF ANAEROBIC EXERCISE ON DYNAMIC BALANCE OF SEDENTARY YOUNG BOYS

The aim of this study was investigation the acute effect of anaerobic exercise on dynamic balance of sedentary young boys. Totally 30 individuals who are sedentary healthy males participated in this study as a subject. Measurements were done between 14.00 and 18.00 in 4 days. Previously The subject in this study were introduced the procedure of the dynamic balance (Biodex Balance SD, Biodex, Shirley, NY. isokinetic balance device ) and Wingate power test (Monark 894E Peak Bike, Monark Exercise AB, Vansbro, Sweden.) and a written approval form was taken from each volunteer. Second day, all subjects were tested dynamic balance test after general warm-up. During the third and fourth days, all subjects were tested Wingate power test without load (empty scale) and 5% load and immediately after that all of them were tested the dynamic balance test. Subjects rested 48 hours between measurements and did not any exercise during the rest time. At the end of the application; overall balance, control trial 1.94±0.85, placebo trial 1.82±0.73, experimental trial 1.92±1.05, anterior-posterior balance, control trial 1.52±0.67, placebo trial 1.37±0.62, experimental trial 1.44±0.93, medial-lateral balance, control trial 0.98±0.53, placebo trial 1.03±0.45, experimental trial 1.06±0.62 there was no statistical significance was not observed dynamic balance after anaerobic exercise (p>0.05). In conclusion, we can conclude that anaerobic exercises have no acute effect on dynamic balance in sedentary youth males who are 13-15 ages.  Article visualizations

Antimicrobial and lipase inhibition of essential oil and solvent extracts of Cota tinctoria var. tinctoria and characterization of the essential oil

The essential oil (EO) of Cota tinctoria var. tinctoria was analyzed using GC-FID / MS. A total of 51 compounds were determined from this taxon, accounting for 99.79% in hydrodistillation. Monoterpenes were the primary chemical class for the volatile organic compounds in the EO (36.1%, 13 compounds). Borneol (18.1%), camphor (14.9%), and β-pinene (11.3%) were the major components in the EO of C. tinctoria var. tinctoria. The antimicrobial activities of EO and n-hexane, acetonitrile, methanol, and water solvent extracts of the taxon were screened in vitro against ten microorganisms. The EO yielded the best activity (15 mm, 372.5 MIC, 59600 μg/μL) against Mycobacterium smegmatis. The acetonitrile extract was the most active against the Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus with 274 µg/mL MIC value. IC50 values for the lipase enzyme inhibitory activity of EO and solvent extracts (n-hexane, acetonitrile, methanol, and water) were found to be 59.80 ± 4.3285 µg/mL 68.28 ± 3.1215 µg/mL, 52.60 ± 3.7526 µg/mL, 48.73 ± 2.8265 µg/mL, and 99.50 ± 5.5678 µg/mL, respectively
