INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECTS OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC STRETCHING ON VERTICAL JUMP PERFORMANCE OF TAEKWONDO ATHLETES

This study has sought to illuminate the effect of static and dynamic stretching exercises on the vertical jump performance of taekwondo players. 14 volunteer players were solicited to take part in this study. The participants who were 14-17 age range are licensed players of Amasya Tekhan Sports Club. The protocol employed by Gelen (2008) so as to investigate into the effects of different stretching protocols on the vertical jumping was utilised for tests. Vertical jump tests were conducted on participants three times following each stretching activity in 4-5 min and the best results were noted. Height, body weight and means of BMI, standart deviation, minimum and maximum values of the athletes were measured. A one-way variance analysis in repeated measures (ANOVA) was employed to analyze the data. Findings clearly indicate that neither static nor dynamic stretching exercises have an effect on jumping performance. Correspondingly, this finding may have caused from the physical and psyhological traits of taekwondo players. In summation, based on the analysis in this study, it can be concluded that static and dynamic stretching exercises done after slow aerobic runnings before jumping had no significant effect on front jumping (FJ), squat jumping (SJ) and drop jumping (DJ) performance.  Article visualizations

INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF MENSTRUATION PERIOD ON SPORTIVE PERFORMANCE OF WOMEN’S FUTSAL PLAYERS

This paper was to investigate the effect of menstruation cycles on sportive performance in women’s futsal players. A total of 8 healthy, active and volunteer women players who had a regular menstruation period and didn’t use any regulatory medical supplement (oral contraceptive) were recruited for this study. To analyse data, means of age, height, body weight and BMI values of the players, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values were calculated. The Friedman Two Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test from nonparametric tests was employed to determine if there is a difference among menstrual phases. Findings clearly indicate that flexibility, vertical jump and anaerobic power values showed significant decrease (P<0,01), while other performance variables didn’t show statistical significant differences (P>0.05) among menstrual cycles. In a nutshell, it can be concluded that menstrual cycles of women’s futsal players don’t affect the flexibility, power, speed, anaerobic and aerobic power performances.  Article visualizations

THE EVALUATION OF MENTAL ABILITIES OF ATHLETES IN DIFFERENT BRANCHES

This paper aims to evaluate the levels of mental ability of licensed athletes who are actively engaged in sports at branch level in Turkey. A total of 340 athletes, including 116 women and 224 men, from various regions of Turkey who are actively engaged in sports at elite level in different branches voluntarily participated in the survey which evaluates their levels and techniques of mental training. It was considered important that athletes participated in the survey should be licensed and importance of the study was emphasized to them. The survey model was used in this study. Current information related to research problem was systematically given by scanning of relevant literature, so a theoretical framework on the subject was created. First of all, a twelve-question personal information form developed by researcher was applied. Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment tool (OMSAT-3) which is developed by Durand-Bush, Salmela and Green-Demers (2001) and adapted to Turkish language by Erhan, Güler, Ağduman and Gerek was applied to evaluate the levels of athletes’ mental ability. In the adaptation phase, the scale was applied to 220 athletes and internal consistency value was found to be 0.94. The scale consists of 48 items and 12 subscales and these subscales are evenly divided into four items. The scale consists of a total of 48 items and constructed on a 7-point Likert-type. The scoring was formed from 1 to 7 according to the statements, “Strongly disagree”, “Disagree”, “Slightly disagree”, “Neither agree nor disagree”, “Agree”, “Slightly agree” and “Strongly agree”. Frequency Analysis was applied to determine the demographic characteristics of participants and Shapiro-Wilk Test was applied in order to decide whether the questionnaires are suitable to normal distribution and Mann-Whitney U test was applied in order to determine the dimensions according to parameters such as gender, marital status, and type of sports, level of contact and level of sport. Kruskal-Wallis H test was applied for analysis of the dimensions in terms of age, sports age and educational level. Finally, correlation analysis of Spearman was used in order to determine the relation between sub-dimensions of total satisfaction score. The significance level (p<0.05) was accepted in analysis. As a result, there is a significant difference in mental ability dimensions of active athletes in different branches according to their mental ability levels and variables such as age, type of sports, sports level and sports age. Therefore, it is observed that mental ability levels of athletes in different branches vary according to these variables.Article visualizations

İşveren Markasının İnsan Kaynakları Süreçleri Üzerine Etkileri

Küreselleşme sürecinin etkilerinin arttığı işgücü piyasalarında, şirketler için büyük önem arz eden konuların başında gelen İnsan Kaynakları Yönetimi; şirketin gelecek hedeflerine ulaşabilmesi, şirket verimliliğinin sağlanması ve artırılması için ihtiyaç duyulan, gelecekte ihtiyaç duyulabilecek insan kaynağının işe alınması, eğitilmesi, kariyerinin planlanması ve geliştirilmesi faaliyetlerini ifade etmektedir. Günümüz rekabet koşullarında işletmelerin hayatına devam edebilmesi, insan gücünün niteliği ile doğrudan ilişkilidir. Bu nedenle, doğru insanın bulunması ve seçilmesi süreciyle başlayan ve yönetilmesi süreciyle devam eden insan kaynakları yönetim fonksiyonu işletmelerin vazgeçilmezi haline gelmektedir. Diğer taraftan, insan unsurunun da sürekli değiştiği ve geliştiği dikkate alındığında, İKY fonksiyonlarının da sürekli gelişim, değişim ve etkileşim sürecinde olacağı açıktır.Günümüzde nitelik düzeyi yüksek işgücünün tercihi marka değeri yüksek işveren markası olan işletmeler olduğu dikkate alındığında nitelikli insan kaynağının kazandırılmasını ve elde tutulmasını sağlayacak işveren markasının oluşturulması gerekmektedir. İşveren markası yönetimi, işletmelerin rakiplerinden farklılaşmasına odaklanması sürecinde sadece mal ve hizmet farklılığı yaratarak değil, mevcut çalışanların ve potansiyel işgücünün beklentileri ve ihtiyaçlarını dikkate alarak oluşturulan örgüt kültürü ve insan kaynakları faaliyetleri açısından yönetme biçimidir. İşveren markası yönetiminin gerçekleştirilmesi, işletmelerde işgücü devrini de azaltmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, insan kaynakları yönetim süreci ve işveren markası ilişkisi önem kazanmaktadır. İşveren markası yönetim modelinin süreçleri ile insan kaynakları yönetim sürecinin etkileşimi işletmenin nitelikli insan kaynağını bulma ve seçme sürecinden yönetme sürecine kadar tüm fonksiyonlarında katkısı olacağı ifade edilmektedir.İşveren markasının bileşenleri incelendiğinde, mevcut çalışanlara karşı sorumluluklar, potansiyel adayların işyerine kazandırılma misyonu, iş-özel hayat dengesi, kurum kültürü, kurum/ürün markası, çalışma ortamı ve yan haklar olduğu görülmektedir. İşveren markası ve insan kaynakları yönetimi yönetim süreçlerinin bileşenleri açısından büyük benzeşme göstermektedir. Bu nedenle bu iki yönetim yaklaşımın etkileşim içerisinde olması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, işveren markasının sürecinin işletmeler açısından önemini ortaya koyarak, nitelikli personelin kazandırılması ve elde tutulması sürecinde insan kaynakları yönetim fonksiyonları ile ilişkisini incelemektir. Bu kapsamda, işveren markası uygulamalarının insan kaynakları yönetim süreçleri ile doğrudan ilişkisi geniş bir literatür taraması ile bağlantının detayı anlatılacaktır

Utilization of ceramic waste in the production of Khorasan mortar

Khorasan mortar was used in almost all of the historical structures in the geographical area of turkey. It is still used in the renovation of these structures. Water, lime, baked clay is used in the production of Khorasan by breaking and grinding. Crushed brick and tiles are preferred as baked clay. In this study, the usability of ceramic wastes as baked clay was investigated. An important part of ceramic production is made especially in Eskişehir and its vicinity. 10% of ceramic production shows up as wastes because of various reasons. These wastes which are under 20 mm are crushed in the jaw breakers and these which are under 150 mm are grinned in grinders, transformed to powder and then mixed with hydrated lime and water in various proportions, in this way Khorasan mortars are obtained. In mortar production, crushed ceramic-ceramic powder ratio, ceramic-lime ratio were changed and the most suitable ratios were tried to be found. Samples taken from these mortars which are 4 cm x 4 cm x 16 cm in size are removed after a day from the mold and kept in humid environment. Physical and mechanical properties such as unit weight, ultrasonic pulse velocity, bending strength, compressive strength of the mortar were determined. As a result of the experiments, the unit weights range was between 1.5–1.65 kg/dm3, the ultrasonic pulse velocity rates range from 1.3–1.9 km/h, the range of bending strengths was from 0.25–1.05 MPa, and compressive strength has changed in the range of 7.5–10.5 MPa. With the work done, it is recommended to use a high percentage of lime while using ceramic wastes in the process of producing Khorasan mortar
