    A Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effect of Regular Dart Training on Visual Perception and Attention Level in Pre-Adolescent Children
    (Mdpi, 2024) Kocak, calik Veli; Canli, Umut; Basal, Veli; Aldhahi, Monira I.
    Background/Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effects of dart exercises on the visual perception and attention parameters of pre-adolescent students. Methods: This study included 40 pre-adolescent secondary school students (n = 20 participants in the exercise group [10 girls and 10 boys] and n = 20 participants in the control group [10 girls and 10 boys]). A pre-test of visual perception and attention was conducted prior to the start of the structured dart exercise program, which lasted 12 weeks. The exercises were performed three days a week, with each session lasting 90 min. After 12 weeks, the visual perception and d2 attention tests were administered to both the exercise and control groups. Repeated measures 2 x 2 analysis of variance (ANOVA) (group x time) was conducted for statistical analysis. Results: The results show that there was a statistically significant difference in the group x time interaction for the parameters of visual perception, focusing (E2), concentration (CP), and attention level (TN-E) (p < 0.05) Conversely, there was no statistically significant difference in the parameters of psychomotor speed (TN) and selective attention (E1) (p > 0.05). In addition to the pre- and post-test scores of the control and exercise groups, it was observed that the exercise group scores showed a significant improvement compared with the control group. Conclusions: Based on these findings, it can be concluded that dart exercises can improve the visual perception and attention levels of pre-adolescent secondary school students. These results have implications for the use of dart exercises as a potential cognitive training tool in this age group. Further research could explore the long-term effects and optimal dosage of such a program.

    Association of Physiological Performance, Physical Fitness, and Academic Achievement in Secondary School Students
    (Mdpi, 2024) Canli, Umut; Aldhahi, Monira I.; Kucuk, Hamza
    This study aimed to compare the physiological performance and physical fitness based on the academic achievement levels of secondary school students and to explore the effect of gender on the relationship between physiological performance, physical fitness, and academic achievement. In this cross-sectional study, 304 children aged 13-14 years were recruited. To assess physical fitness, students performed a 20 m sprint test, a pro-agility test, a one-mile endurance run/walk test, and a countermovement jump test. At the end of the one-mile endurance run/walk test, the estimated VO2peak value of the participants was calculated. The physiological performance of the students was determined by measuring their resting heart rate and blood pressure. Students were grouped into three categories based on their academic achievement levels. The assessment of academic achievement considered their scores from the previous academic year. The scores were divided into three levels: poor (average score of 69 points or less), average (scores ranging from 70 to 84 points), and good (scores of 85 points or higher). The study revealed a notable disparity among students' VO2Max measurements based on their academic achievement (F = 8.938, p < 0.001, eta(2) = 0.056). However, we observed that the group with poor academic achievement displayed lower diastolic blood pressure values than the groups with average and good performances. Finally, no significant gender differences were evident in the relationship between academic achievement and any of the physical and physiological parameters.

    Motor Coordination in Primary School Students: The Role of Age, Sex, and Physical Activity Participation in Turkey
    (Mdpi, 2023) Canli, Tulay; Canli, Umut; Taskin, Cuneyt; Aldhahi, Monira I.
    Motor coordination (MC) is an essential skill underpinning precise and controlled movements, contributing significantly to daily functioning and overall performance. The developmental trajectory of MC in children is intricately shaped by a spectrum of factors encompassing age, gender, and physical activity engagement. Delving into the complex interrelation of these variables holds the potential to unravel nuanced developmental trends and offer targeted avenues for interventions aimed at augmenting motor proficiency in the pediatric population. This study aimed to assess the differences in MC of primary school students based on sex, age, and physical activity participation (PAP). A total of 848 students from public primary schools, aged between 6-9 years, including 412 boys and 436 girls. The MC was measured using Korperkoordinationstest fur Kinder (KTK3+) test battery, which included Jumping sideways (JS), Balancing backward (BB), Moving sideways (MS), and Eye-Hand Coordination (EHC). One-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to determine the binary and triple interactions of sex, age, and PAP variables on the MC parameters of the participants. The study revealed that boys aged 6-9 had higher scores than girls on eye-hand coordination (EHC) (p < 0.02). No significant gender-related differences in balancing backward (BB), jumping sideways (JS), and moving sideways (MS) were found. When the subtests of KTK3+ were compared by age, a significant difference was observed between the groups in all subtests (p < 0.05). With respect to PAP, students with PAP had a significant advantage in all subtests of the KTK3+ (p < 0.05). The double co-effects or triple co-effects of age, sex, and PAP parameters do not influence the KTK parameters. This study presents evidence supporting sex differences in the motor skills of children within this age range and highlights the potential impact of age and physical activity on motor development.

    The effect of body composition and lifestyle habits on functional movement capacity in inactive overweight adults males
    (Mre Press, 2025) Canli, Umut; Aldhahi, Monira I.; Sendil, Ali Mert; Dogan, Zeynep; Alupei, Dorin; Man, Maria Cristina; Alexe, Cristina Ioana
    Background: This study investigated the effects of body composition and lifestyle habits on functional movement capacity in inactive overweight men. Methods: A crosssectional study was conducted with 112 men (age = 30 +/- 11 years; BMI = 25.82 +/- 4.79 kg/m2). Participants completed a lifestyle habits questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements, including height, weight, muscle mass, and body fat percentage, were recorded. Functional Movement Screen (FMS) tests assessed functional movement capacity. Stepwise multiple linear regression analyzed the predictors of FMS scores, and lifestyle habits were compared. Results: Body fat percentage accounted for 24% of the variance in FMS scores (F(1-110) = 21.378, p < 0.001), with a coefficient of -0.159, indicating a negative association. Participants without chronic diseases had significantly higher FMS scores compared to those with chronic diseases (% change = 12.14; p = 0.037). Other lifestyle habit parameters showed no significant differences. Conclusions: Higher body fat percentages negatively influence functional movement capacity. Participants without chronic diseases exhibited better functional movement scores, emphasizing the positive role of general health on movement quality. Strategies focusing on reducing body fat and improving overall health may enhance functional movement capacity in this population.

    The physiological and physical benefits of two types of concurrent training: a randomized controlled trial
    (Bmc, 2024) Canli, Umut; Aldhahi, Monira I.
    Background It is widely acknowledged that aerobic exercise and strength training are crucial components of most workout programs. However, there is no consensus as to whether the effectiveness of exercises is affected by the sequence in which they are performed. Therefore, the overarching aim of the study was to understand the optimal order of two types of concurrent training program for 13 weeks by comparing the effectiveness of the training on body composition, predicated maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), dynamic respiratory parameters and muscle strength in healthy middle-aged people.Methods Thirty-three middle-aged individuals, who were categorized as moderately active based on their responses to International Physical Activity Questionnaires, underwent random allocation. The participants were randomly assigned into two groups: the Strength Training followed by Aerobic Training group (SAG, n = 16) and the Aerobic Training followed by Strength Training group (ASG, n = 17). Body composition, aerobic endurance, respiratory parameters, and upper and lower strength were assessed at baseline and after (post-test) a 13-week intervention. The chi-square test and the independent t-test were used to compare sociodemographic variables between the groups. A 2 x 2 analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures (group x measurement) was conducted. The study was retrospectively registered on clinicaltrials.gov in May of 2023 (clinicaltials.gov identifier: NCT05862415; in 04/25/2023).Results Findings showed no significant differences between the group in the VO2max, FVC or FEV1 (F = 1.122, 0.028, 0.06, 2.483; p > 0.05, respectively). Intragroup analysis revealed changes in PEF compared to baseline in the ASG (F = 5.895; p < 0.05). Increases were observed in all strength parameters for both training programs.Conclusions The concurrent training effect on muscle composition, oxygen consumption and muscle strength specifically 1RM, in middle-aged individuals are equivocal, regardless of the exercise order. The results indicate that both exercise sequences can elicit similar benefits in terms of cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and endurance. This lack of difference suggests that the order of exercise does not play a significant role in determining the effectiveness of the workout or the subsequent physiological adaptations.

    Unveiling the predictive role of motor competence and physical fitness on inhibitory control in preschool children: a cross-sectional study
    (Bmc, 2025) Canli, Umut; Gut, Aytac; Sevinc, Sevi Baloglu; Deveci, Meral; Sendil, Ali Mert; Yaman, Gulyuz; Aldhahi, Monira I.
    BackgroundDuring the preschool years, children experience rapid development of inhibitory control (IC). This period is also crucial to foster the establishment of the foundations of physical fitness (PF) and motor competence (MC), which are essential for long-term health outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the predictive roles of PF and MC in IC in preschool children.MethodA total of 139 children (78 boys and 61 girls) participated in the study, with a mean age of 5.76 +/- 0.30 years and a body mass index (BMI) of 16.15 +/- 1.94 kg/m(2). Children performed the Go/No-Go test, K & ouml;rperkoordinationstest f & uuml;r Kinder (KTK3+) test, static and dynamic balance tests, a pro-agility and countermovement jumping (CMJ) test.ResultsThe findings showed that there was a positive association between MCT and accuracy number (AC) (go) (beta = 0.079, 95%CI: 0.051-0.107), AC (no go) (beta = 0.022, 95%CI: 0.003-0.041). However, between MCT and reaction time (RT), there was a negative relationship (beta = \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:-$$\end{document}0.497, 95%CI: \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:-$$\end{document}0.988 - \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:-$$\end{document}0.006). MCT scores showed a significant positive relationship with AC (go), with a beta coefficient of 0.309 (95% CI: 0.181, 0.436). This finding further underscores the robustness of this relationship. The PF indicator agility showed a negative relationship with AC (go) (beta = -3.638 [-5.590, -1.687]) and static balance was negatively related to RT (beta = -34.767, 95% CI [0.018, 0.165]).ConclusionsOverall, this study indicates that MC, rather than general PF, is strongly associated with the concurrent level of IC during the preschool period. These findings highlight the potential importance of promoting MC through targeted interventions that may support cognitive function in young children. Further longitudinal research is recommended to explore the causal relationships and long-term effects of these interventions.Study registrationResearch protocol number: 2022.214.11.15.
