Compare the Values of Blood Lactate and Heart Rate of Kickboxers during Kickboxing Matches

The aim of this study was to compare the values of heart rate (HR) and blood lactate (BL) of kickboxers during kickboxing match.This study was conducted with the participation of 18 male and 16 female sportsman in Turkish Kickboxing championship, an organization of Turkish Kickboxing Federation. After the participant athletes read and signed informed voluntary consent form (BGOF) prepared for them, the measurements were collected.While no significant difference was found between ages, pre-match HR, post-match HR, pre and post-match BL of male and female Kickboxers, a significant difference was statistically found between the height (P˂0.05) and body weights (P˂0.01) of athletes. Age distribution of athletes was determined as 14-23 and mean age distribution was determined as 17.03±2.41. HR pressures of athletes differs according to pre-match and post-match periods (P˂0.001). As HR frequencies increase by 29.4% according to pre-match HR regardless of the gender, this increase was determined as 31.4% for male athletes and 27.2% for female athletes. While post-match BLs of athletes increase by 4.02 times compared to pre-match regardless of the gender, this increase was determined as 4.20 for male athletes and 3.82 for female athletes.Kickboxing is a combat sport which has high intensity of anaerobic physical fitness. Matches and rounds for HR and BL concentrations show the importance of the aerobic metabolism in kickboxing. However, the significant rise of HR and BL during simulated match indicates that the anaerobic metabolism is also important in kickboxing

Examination of Changes in Certain Biochemical Parameters Before and After Acute Training in Kick Boxers

Kickbox is one of the modern martial sports. The psychophysiological demands of a kickbox competition require that athletes achieve high thresholds in various aspects of physical fitness.The aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate the physiological properties of kickbox athletes and the activity profile properly in order to put forward proposals for training and new scientific research fields. The blood samples, which were taken before and after the maximal training applied to athletes according to the period, were studied. A total of 50 athletes, including 39 male and 11 female amateurs, were included in the study, with an average age of 20.08±6.33 years. All participants were informed about the study and necessary approvals. There was a significant difference between males and females in terms of BMI (Body Mass Index). It was observed that the GSH values of the athletes increased before and after training in both males and females. On the other hand, IL-1B (interleukin) only increased in males (p<0.05). The information obtained shows that the analyses of the before and after training male kickboxers at the amateur level are significantly more different than that of women. Since GSH is an effective tripeptide of antioxidants involved in the detoxification of harmful compounds, its synthesis is very important for metabolism. It can be said that GSH (glutathione) level may increase with normal exercise in daily life and training in athletes. Furthermore, the athletes should be analyzed metabolically well in response to the stress that may be caused by heavy exercise, and the exercise for improving performance should be achieved by detecting biochemical changes

Influence of Preoperative Pain Duration on Microsurgical Varicocelectomy Outcomes

Objective. To investigate the question of whether duration of pain before surgery ultimately affects sperm parameters after varicocelectomy. Methods. Fifty patients with painful grade-3 varicocele were investigated prospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to their symptom period. The patients having had grade-3 varicocele for less than 1 year were included in Group-1 (Ge, n=25). Twenty-five patients who had painful grade-3 varicocele for more than 1 year (Gs, n=25) were classified in Group-2. Semen analysis was performed after 3 days of sexual abstinence twice a month. Total sperm concentration (TSC), rapidly progressive motility (SPa), and slow or sluggish motility (SPb) rates were noted. Pain was evaluated by using 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS). Results. Postoperative TSC and %SPb were significantly higher in both groups (P=0.01). There was no difference between two groups for preoperative and postoperative TSC, %SPa, % and SPb values. VAS significantly declined in both groups (P=0.005). This postoperative decline was not significant for intergroup comparison. Conclusions. Our results show that increase in semen quality and decrease in the pain after microsurgery varicocelectomy do not depend on the duration of the preoperative pain

Benzer metaforlar göz önünealındığında, bu metaforların en çok tekrarlanan metaforlardan oluştuğu dikkat çekmektedir. Toplam 185 metafordan 8 kavramsal kategori oluşturulmuştur. Oluşturulan bu 8 kavramsal kategoride yer alan metafor sayılarına göre; bilgi kaynağı olarak kitap (45), nesne olarak kitap (43), betimleme olarak kitap (26), doğa olarak kitap (20), kişi olarak kitap (18), mekân olarak kitap (14), eylem olarak kitap (13) ve çizgi kahraman olarak kitap (6) şeklinde sıralanmaktadır

Effects of Peer Education on Attitudes of Secondary School Students Towards the Course of Physical Education and Sports

The purpose of this study is to determine the changes in student attitudes towards the course of Physical Education and Sports as well as in students' development of skill as a result of using Peer Education in the course of Physical Education and Sports in secondary schools.The study was conducted with a total of 120 students, who studied in the 7th grade at Atatürk Secondary School located in the Province of Elazığ, District of Maden and at Cumhuriyet Secondary School located in the District of Sivrice, in the second term of 2015-2016 school year. The students in the sample group were divided into two 30-person groups, namely the control group and the experimental group. For heterogeneous selection of the students, the student selection was conducted by applying the Peer Educator Observation Form and the "Who is this?" Test in the classroom. The process was explained to the designated peer educators and their voluntary consent forms were obtained. "The Course of Physical Education Attitude Scale" was applied to all students before starting the process. After providing the students comprising the experimental group with the necessary information about peer education, the lessons were taught through the method of peer education. And in the control group, the course of physical education and sports was conducted through the traditional teaching methods. At the end of 4 weeks of application, "The Course of Physical Education Attitude Scale" was reapplied to both the experimental group and the control group.The attitude scale was applied twice, before and after the education. The qualitative data were obtained from the diaries of the physical education teachers and students. In the analysis of the data, for qualitative dimension, descriptive analysis, for quantitative data, %, frequency, for repetitive measurements, t test and one-way variance analysis were used. The SPSS (22) package program was used for the analysis of the quantitative data. The quantitative data were explained through tabulation. Again, the data obtained from observation forms were presented in the form of tables with their frequency and percentage values. Themes were obtained by coding the qualitative data.At the end of the research, the education received by the students in the experimental and control groups led to a significant difference in pre- and post-program attitude level in favor of the end-test. However, it was determined that being in different groups did not lead to a significant difference in students' attitude scores

Organik Antepfıstığı Yetiştiriciliği

Bu projenin amacı Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesinde antepfıstığı yetiştiriciliğinde bitki besleme ile hastalık ve zararlılara karşı organik tarımın uygun gördüğü preparatları kullanarak organik antepfıstığı yetiştiriciliğine veri tabanı oluşturmaktır. Araştırma 2002 yılında Antepfıstığı Araştırma Enstitüsünün Fıstıklık İşletmesinde, Tesadüf parselleri deneme desenine göre Uzun çeşidi antepfıstığı bahçesinde kurulmuştur. Araştırma parseline ahır gübresi, yeşil gübre, leonardit ve konvansiyonel tarımın uygulandığı alan olmak üzere dört farklı uygulama yapılmıştır. Hastalık ve zararlıların yönetiminde organik tarımın uygun gördüğü preparatlar uygulanmıştır. Verim ve kalite değerlendirmesi yapılmış konvansiyonel yetiştiricilikle Organik yetiştiricilik maliyet ve net kar açısından karşılaştırılmıştır. Verim ve randıman yönünden uygulamalar arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak önemsiz bulurken 100 meyve ağırlığında en iyi sonucu yeşil gübre uygulaması vermiştir. Çıtlama yönünden ise en iyi sonuç yeşil gübre ve leonardit uygulanan alanlardan elde edilmiştir Antepfıstığı yetiştiriciliğinde farklı uygulamalar net gelir yönünden karşılaştırılmış en fazla net gelir 502 TL/yıl (112,4 kg/da) ile yeşil gübre uygulamasından alınmış, konvansiyonel uygulamasından 430 TL/yıl (111 kg/da) net gelir elde edilmiştir. Uygulamaların net gelir yönünden farklı çıkmasında yeşil gübre uygulamasının üretim maliyetinin düşük ve organik ürünün fiyatının yüksek olması etkili olmuştur. Bu çalışma organik antepfıstığı yetiştiriciliğinde ilk olduğundan bundan sonra yapılacak çalışmalar için hem veri sağlayacak hem de bu konuda yapılacak araştırmacılara rehberlik edecektir. Organik antepfıstığı yetiştiriciliği konusunda farklı besleme ve mücadele materyali ile farklı yöntemler alternatif olarak araştırma konusu yapılarak çalışmalara devam edilmelidir. Özellikle pazarda organik ürünün talep ve fiyat durumunu belirleyecek araştırma çalışmaları yapılmalıdır. Antepfıstığı bahçelerinde organik yetiştiricilik uygulamaları daha uzun yıllar devam ettirilmeli ve uygulamaları ağacın taç, gövde ve sürgün gelişimine ve dolayısıyla toplam verime etkisi ortaya konmalıdır
