Evaluation of some respiratory functions of Kyrgyz National Team Athletes before 2016 Summer Olympic Games

In this study, some respiratory functions of athletes from four different sport branches who constitute Kyrgyzstan National Team have been examined. To research, 9 Greco-Roman style wrestlers (24±4,5years), 10 freestyle wrestlers (22,10±3,21 years), 8 judoists (23,6±1,89 years), 8 male athletes (22,29±2.87 years) and 3 female athletes (21.67±2.08 years) totally 35 male and 3 female national athletes have been included. Forced vital capacities (FVC), forced ventilation volumes (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) which connected the respiratory levels of the athletes have been measured in preparation stage before 2016 Summer Olympic Games. By being performed istatistical evaluation by SPSS 21.0, it was usedthe computer package program. “One Way ANOVA” test an identifying the differences between the groups and the differences at (P<0,05) level have been accepted as significant. FVC values taken from Judoists were similar to those of male athletes (p>0,05) and significantly higher than other branches (p<0,05). FVC levels of wrestling and athletic athletes reflected similar results (p>0,05). When PEF levels examined, the results of judo and male athletes have been found statistically similar (p>0,05). PEF scores of Greco-Roman wrestling, freestyle wrestling and female athletes have not been found statistically different (p>0,05). FEV1 results of the judoists have been found similar to those of the Greco-Roman style wrestlers (p>0,05) while these results have been found significantly higher than the results of freestyle wrestling and athletic athletes (p<0,05). As a result, Judo athletes' FVC, PEF and FEV1 levels have been found better than other branches involved in the study

Anaerobic Capacity Changes of the National Freestyle Wrestlers during the Olympic Qualification Competition Period

This study aimed to evaluate the national level wrestlers’ anaerobic capacity through the preparation and qualification periods for Rio 2016 summer Olympic Games. For this manner, 10 national level freestyle wrestlers’(age 22,10 ± 3,21; weight 64,75 ±6,34; height 164,31 ± 4,75) anaerobic outputs measured 3 times in three month intervals with Bosco repeated jump test. Peak Jump(cm), Flight time, average power, average power/weight, first 15sec average jump height, last 15sec average jump height, fatigue index scores analyzed with repeated measures Anova. Mean power/weight output of the wrestlers increased from 20,42 W/kg to 21,28 W/kg(4,21 %) and fatigue index is decreased from 1,185 to 1,142 (3,62 %). However, this increase was not statistically significant (p<0,05). In six months of qualification and preparation period wrestlers’ anaerobic capacity did not changed and it is thought to have been caused by some reasons such as having already reached a certain anaerobic peak level or athletes’ competition level and frequency which might made it difficult for them to have a proper periodization during the year

Effect of ıce massage on some biochemical parameters of wrestlers in relation with the recovery

Bu çalışmada Elit Güreşçilere Uygulanan Buz Masajının Toparlanmaya İlişkin Bazı Biyokimyasal Parametrelere Etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Araştırma da Türk Güreş Milli Takımlarında güreşen 14 erkek güreşçi denek olarak kullanıldı. Denekler kura ile deney ve kontrol grubu olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Aynı gün içerinde değişik dinlenme aralıkları verilerek 5 güreş müsabakası yaptırıldı. Deney grubuna müsabaka aralarında 8 dk'lık buz masajı yapılırken, kontrol grubuna ise 8 dk'lık normal masaj uygulandı. Deneklerden müsabakalar öncesi, 3. ve 5. müsabaka sonrası olmak üzere 3 kez kan örnekleri alındı. Alınan kan örnekleri 5000 devirde satrifuj edildikten sonra serumları ayrıştırılarak miyoglobin ve creatin kinaz tayinleri yapıldı. Deneklerin kalp atım hızları, laktat değerleri ve vücut sıcaklıkları her müsabaka öncesi ve sonrası olmak üzere 10 kez ölçüldü. Bulguların istatistiksel değerlendirilmesi SPSS 16.0 bilgisayar paket programı ile yapıldı. Elit güreşçilere yaptırılan 5 güreş müsabakası da deney ve kontrol grubuna ait güreşçilerin miyoglobin, creatin kinaz, kalp atım hızı ve laktat düzeylerini önemli ölçüde artırdı (P0.05). Müsabakalar arasında verilen dinlenme sürelerinde deney grubuna yapılan 8 dk'lık buz masajı, sporcuların miyoglobin ve CK düzeylerini kontrol grubuna göre önemli şekilde düşürdü (P 0.05). Eight minutes of ice massage during rest between the contests lowered experimental group's myoglobin and CK levels significantly compared to the control group ( P <0.05). Heart rate and body temperature of the experimental group were decreased significantly only 30 and 15 min of rest periods compared to control group while lactate level of the experimental group were decreased significantlyonly 15 min of rest periods compared to the control group with the influence of the ice massage( P <0.05). As a result, ice massage applied to wrestlers between intervals is effective in preventing muscle damage caused by exercise. Also, the 30 and 15 minutes of ice massage during rest intervals are effective in reduction of heart rate and body temperature besides reducing the level of lactate only 15 min during rest intervals

Acute Effects of PNF Stretching on Maximum Voluntary Contraction in Men

This study aimed to investigate the influence of PNF stretching on the peal torque (PT) isokinetic leg extension PT at 60 degrees and 180 degrees(.s-1) in the stretched and unstretched limbs. Twelve college Male athletes who were enrolled in a fitness class volunteered to participate in the study. Pre and post PNF stretching exercises isokinetic PT for extension and flexion of the dominant and non-dominant limbs were measured. There was a decrease in the PT for both extension and flexion between the pre- and post-stretching conditions. The reductions in PT experienced in the present study tentatively support the hypothesis that stretching may, change the length-tension association
