COMPARISON OF BLOOD PARAMETERS AND SOME MOTOR PERFORMANCE VALUES IN A FACULTY OF SPORT SCIENCES STUDENTS

In this study is proposing to compare lipid and lipoprotein values in faculty of sport sciences students in order to investigate cardiovascular disease risks. The research included sports-educated college students. They were 20 wrestlers, 25 judo athletes and 30 soccer players. Comparison of age and height were used in the research and, to identify the differences among groups, one-way Anova and Scheffe tests were performed. In this study, vertical jumping value was not found statistically significant among the groups (p> 0.05). In this study, aerobic and anaerobic power of the educated wrestlers and judo athletes were found to be different than the soccer players (

Comparison of Blood Lipid and Lipoprotein Amount of Wrestlers and Skiers

In this study it is aimed to compare form blood parameters lipid and lipoprotein values of wrestlers and skiers who have different training levels. In addition, was to examine the risks of cardiovascular diseases for wrestler and skiers. In order to achieve this purpose, 33 male of elite wrestling and ski athletes measured in the study. In this study, Triglyceride (TG), were determined Total Cholesterol (TC), HDL-C and LDL-C levels (With Hitachi 717 autoanalyser). To determine the differences between groups “independent t” tests were performed.In this study, there were significant differences in plasma LDL-C, HDL-C, and TC values between wrestlers and skiers (p.05). In this study, HLC values of skiers were found to be significantly higher than wrestlers (p<0.001). In this study the cardiovascular risk ratios (TC/HDL-C) were found to be 3.39 mg/100cc for wrestlers and 2.80 mg/100cc for skiers. Ratios LDL-C/HDL-C were found 1.76 mg/100cc for wrestlers and 1.45 mg/100cc for skiers.Conclusion: Although the wrestlers’ training levels were always found to be difference than the skiers, TG values were not found to be different. But the HDL-C, LDL-C, and TC levels of skiers were found better than wrestlers. This results shows that medium and high level of different exercises did cause little differences in blood plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels. Plasma Lipid and lipoprotein values of the wrestler and skiers was accept good.  Wrestling and ski athletes would not be exposed to risk of cardiovascular diseases. Blood parameter values should be examined separately on Cross-country skiers and alpine skiers

INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF 8 WEEKS CORE TRAINING PROGRAM ON FREE SHOOTING AND VERTICAL JUMP PERFORMANCE IN BASKETBALL PLAYERS AGED 16-18

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the core training program applied for 8 weeks to basketball players aged 16-18 on free throw and vertical jump performance. 22 male basketball players (11 experimental group, 11 control group) aged 16-18 participated in the study voluntarily. While core training was applied to the basketball players in the experimental group, 2 days a week for 8 weeks, together with the basketball training, the basketball players in the control group only continued their routine basketball training. Free throw and vertical jump performance tests were applied to the subjects before applying the 8-week core training program (pre-test) and after the 8-week core training (post-test). Statistically significant difference was found between pretest and posttest in terms of experimental group free throw test values (

INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING SELF-EFFICIENCY OF ERCIYES UNIVERSITY PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER DEPARTMENT FINAL YEAR STUDENT

The general purpose of this research is to reveal the results and make suggestions with the research of the teaching competence of the last year students of the Department of Physical Education Teaching at Erciyes University. The research consists of 45 students selected by random cluster sampling from the 4th grade students studying at the Department of Physical Education and Sports Teaching at the Faculty of Sport Sciences at Erciyes University. Volunteers participating in the study were asked to fill in the "Ohio Teacher Competency Scale", a demographic information form developed by the researcher, developed by Tschannen-Moran &amp; Woolfolk-Hoy (2001) and adapted into Turkish by Baloğlu and Karadağ (2008). IBM-SPSS (Statistical Package for The Social Sciences) 22 statistical package programs were used in the analysis of the data. The arithmetic average and standard deviation of the students’ scores from the Ohio Teacher Competency Scale are presented as x SD. In pairwise comparisons, a t-test was used for independent groups. As a result, when the students' self-efficiency was examined according to the variables of gender and type of sport, no statistically significant difference couldn't be found between the groups. Teacher candidates feel ready for teaching to a large extent.  Article visualizations

Comparison of the Motor Performances of 11 and 12 Years Old Boys and Girls Skiing Athletes

The aim in this study, will comparison anthropometric characteristics and motor performance tests to be between according to the ages of boys and girls ski athletes. A total of 41 Girls and 47 Boys ski athletes participated in this study voluntarily. One Wey ANOVA and LSD tests were used.In this study, there were differences in height and body weights statistical (p 0.05). The flamingo test values of boys and girls 11 and 12 aged changed according to gender and age statistical (p 0.05). It was statistically significant that girls' sit up and Standing Long Jump value was better than boys (p <0.001). It was statistically significant that boys' Bent Arm Hang test and mini cooper test was better than girls (p <0.001).Conclusion: Anthropometric characteristics and motor performance tests were found to be within normal limits according to the ages of boys and girls ski athletes. Physical characteristics and motor performance parameters can change according age and sex for 11 and 12 aged Child. For ski training and education's plans, according age and gender should be taken into consideration on child

Quantitative Comparison of Sinkhole Geomorphology of Four Karst Regions in Ohio

The Ohio Geological Survey has mapped karst in Ohio since 2009. Field mapping of sinkholes has suggested that geomorphological parameters vary between the Bellevue, Delaware, Hillsboro, and Springfield karst regions. Statistical tests confirm that these parameters distinguish the four regions. An understanding of how they differ and what causes those differences can be used to better manage these karst features. Differences between sinkholes within each region were quantified using nine parameters derived from digital elevation model (DEM) analysis. These parameters included: depth, perimeter, area, volume, length of major and minor axes, eccentricity, circularity index, and orientation of karst features. Of these parameters, orientation was displayed on rose diagrams and the others were graphed on boxplots. The Conover-Iman (CI) test was used to determine if parameters were statistically distinct (α=0.05) between karst regions. Bellevue has the largest sinkholes in the state and differs statistically from other regions by perimeter, area, volume, major axis, and minor axis. Delaware has the deepest sinkholes, and depth is statistically distinct from all other regions except Springfield. Springfield has the smallest number of sinkholes, and no parameter distinguishes Springfield from all other regions. Hillsboro has the smallest mean sinkhole size, but the most sinkholes. Sinkholes in Hillsboro are also statistically more circular than other regions as shown by eccentricity, and circularity index. Three of the four karst regions show alignment with structural lineaments. The exception is the Hillsboro region, where sinkholes are very circular and exhibit no preferred orientation. Variations in sinkhole size, shape, and distribution are influenced by multiple factors. For example, dissolution in the four regions is influenced by bedrock type, with increasing solubility from dolomite to limestone to evaporites. Sinkholes in Bellevue may be highly developed because Bellevue is underlain by evaporites. Bellevue also experienced multiple events that likely lead to increased bedrock fracturing and water availability from melting ice. Conversely, most of Hillsboro was glaciated only once and has less-developed sinkholes. Unlike other regions, Bellevue was affected by ancient lakes as well. Large sinks in Bellevue indicate higher dissolution activity and sinkholes that have merged, while small circular sinkholes in Hillsboro are less active and not developed enough to merge and become irregular. Improved knowledge of the differences between these regions will assist in mitigating and avoiding these geologic hazards
