Öğe 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.Öğe Association of Physiological Performance, Physical Fitness, and Academic Achievement in Secondary School Students(Mdpi, 2024) Canli, Umut; Aldhahi, Monira I.; Kucuk, HamzaThis 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.Öğe Cluster Set vs. Traditional Set in Plyometric Training: Effect on the Athletic Performance of Youth Football Players(Mdpi, 2025) Oztzurk, Bariscan; Adiguzel, Niyazi Sidki; Koc, Murat; Karacam, Aydin; Canli, Umut; Engin, Hakan; Orhan, Bekir ErhanAim: This study evaluated the effects of plyometric training with different set configurations on sprint speed, change of direction (COD), jump performance, and perceived exertion in youth football players. Method: Twenty-four U-19 players were randomized into three groups: Cluster Set (CLS, n = 8), Traditional Set (TRD, n = 8), and Control (CON, n = 8). CLS performed 8-10 sets of 2-3 repetitions, while TRD completed 2-3 sets of 8-10 repetitions in an 8-week plyometric program (2 sessions/week). The CON group did not train. Performance measures included 10 m, 20 m, and 30 m sprints, COD, Counter Movement Jump (CMJ), Reactive Strength Index (RSI), and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE). A repeated measures ANOVA analyzed group*time interactions. Results: Significant improvements were observed in CLS and TRD groups for sprints (10 m: f = 21.44; 20 m: f = 19.40; 30 m: f = 49.56; p < 0.001), COD (f = 14.66; p < 0.001), CMJ (f = 51.50; p < 0.001), and RSI (f = 24.91; p < 0.001). No changes occurred in CON (p > 0.05). Conclusions: CLS and TRD plyometric training improved sprint speed, COD, and jump performance, with CLS showing slightly superior results and better fatigue management.Öğe Çoklu Beceri Hareket Eğitimi Programı: Okul Öncesi Çocuklarda Vücut Kompozisyonu ve Motor Performans Değişimleri(Yozgat Bozok Üniversitesi, 2021) Canli, Umut; Taşkin, Cüneyt; Kurt, CemAraştırmada, okul öncesi dönemde olan çocuklara uygulanan çoklu beceri hareket eğitimi programının çocukların vücut kompozisyonlarına ve motor performanslarına etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya, okul öncesi eğitimi alan 5-6 yaş aralığında 20 kız öğrenci ve 20 erkek öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 40 öğrenci gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcılar ön test değerleri sonucunda kontrol ve eğitim grubu olmak üzere iki homojen gruba ayrılmış, her iki grupta da eşit sayıda kız ve erkek öğrencilerin olmasına dikkat edilmiştir. Katılımcıların antropometrik ölçümleri (boy uzunluğu ölçümleri; vücut ağırlığı, vücut yağ yüzdesi ve beden kütle indeksi) yapılmıştır. Katılımcıların motor performanslarının belirlenmesinde Okul Öncesi Çocukların Motor Performanslarını Değerlendirme Testi (MPDT) kullanılmıştır. Eğitim grubuna sekiz (8) hafta boyunca haftada iki (2) gün 45-50 dakika boyunca çoklu beceri gelişimine yönelik hareket eğitimi programı uygulanmıştır. Kontrol grubu ise okul öncesi eğitim-öğretim programında yer alan fiziksel etkinliklere katılmaya devam etmiştir. Eğitim ve kontrol grubuna 8 hafta sonunda son testler uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin istatistiksel analizlerinde SPSS 18.0 programı kullanılmıştır. Kontrol ve eğitim grubunun tüm antropometrik özelliklerinin ön test-son test sonuçlarında hem grup içi hem de gruplar arası karşılaştırılmasında anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir (p>0.05). Kontrol grubunun motor performanslarının ön test-son test sonuçlarının grup içi karşılaştırılmasında anlamlı bir farklılığa rastlanmamıştır (p>0.05). Eğitim grubunun motor performans unsurlarının tamamında ön test-son test grup içi karşılaştırılmasında anlamlı farklılıklar belirlenmiştir (pÖğe Effectiveness of Vertical versus Horizontal Plyometric Training on Stretch-Shortening Cycle Performance Enhancement in Adolescent Soccer Players(Mdpi, 2023) Kurt, Cem; Canli, Umut; Erdas, Sadullah Erdal; Poli, Luca; Carvutto, Roberto; Cataldi, Stefania; Fischetti, FrancescoPlyometric exercise is a major tool for improving explosive actions. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of a vertical and horizontal plyometric training program on stretch-shortening performance variables in adolescent soccer players. Thirty-two male soccer players (aged 12.09 +/- 0.89 years, with soccer experience 5.37 +/- 1.58 years) were divided into horizontal plyometric, vertical plyometric, or control groups. The horizontal and vertical plyometric groups participated in a 6-week training program that was performed twice per week, with a 48-h interval, in conjunction with regular soccer training. The control group participated only in regular soccer training. Vertical jump height, reactive strength index, leg stiffness, ground contact time, standing long jump distance, agility, and 10 and 20 m sprint performances were tested as stretch-shortening performance variables of the participants. Stretch-shortening performance variables were assessed before and after completion of the training program. The results showed that either horizontal or vertical plyometric training had no effect on VJH, RSI, GCT, or Kleg performance (F = 2.14, 1.32, 0.66, 1.03; p > 0.05). Furthermore, there was no effect on SLJ, 10 m sprint, 20 m sprint, or agility performance (F = 2.06, 0.14, 0.06, 0.27; p > 0.05). A 6-week horizontal or vertical plyometric intervention was found to be insufficient to elicit stretchshortening performance enhancement in adolescent male soccer players. Although there was no performance change in any group, it was observed that the players enjoyed plyometric training. Therefore, coaches could safely use plyometric exercises to design enjoyable training programs.Öğe Exploring the relationship between exercise addiction and attitudes towards healthy nutrition(Editura Universitatii din Pitesti, 2024) Orhan, Bekir Erhan; Karaçam, Aydin; Canli, Umut; Astuti, Yuni; Erianti; Govindasamy, KaruppasamyThis study aims to investigate the correlation between exercise addiction and attitudes towards healthy nutrition across various demographic groups. Exercise addiction, characterized by compulsive exercise despite negative consequences, is asscociated with psychological and social challenges. This addiction often coexists with eating disorders and extreme dietary habits aimed at improving performance or achieving aesthetic goals. The research employs a correlational survey model to analyze the connection between exercise addiction and attitudes towards healthy eating. Data from 485 participants using the exercise addiction Scale (EAS) and the atitude towards healthy eating scale (ASHN). The results showed significant gender differences, with men exhibiting higher exercise addiction scores than women. However, attitudes towards healthy eating did not significantly differ between genders. Participants with an athlete license also showed higher levels of exercise addiction compared to those without a license. Still, there was no significant difference in healthy eating attitudes based on license status. Marital status revealed that single individuals had higher exercise addiction scores than married individuals, who showed more positive attitudes towards healthy nutrition. The study also found that exercise frequency was positively correlated with both exercise addiction and positive nutritional attitudes, highlighting the importance of regular physical activity in promoting healthy behaviours. Older individuals showed lower levels of exercise addiction but less positive attitudes towards healthy nutrition, suggesting that age-related changes influence exercise behaviours and dietary attitudes. The findings underscore the need for holistic interventions addressing both psychological and nutritional aspects of exercise addiction. Targeted programs for specific demographics, such as young athletes or single individuals, may help mitigate exercise addiction and promote healthier nutritional habits. © JPES.Öğe Exploring the Relationship Between Motor Competence and Physical Performance in Preschool Children: A Cross-Sectional Study(Federacion Espanola Asoc Docentes Educacion Fisica-Feadef, 2024) Canli, Umut; Kurt, Cem; Prieto-Gonzalez, PabloObjectives: Motor competence (MC) and physical fitness are important factors for a healthy life over time. This study aimed to assess the association between motor competence and physical performance in children aged 4-6 years. Methods: One hundred thirty-nine children (78 boys and 61 girls) were recruited for the study from a preschool in Tekirdag province, Turkey. Their motor competence was evaluated by the K & ouml;rperkoordinationstest f & uuml;r Kinder (KTK+3) test battery combined with an alternating one-handed ball-catching and -throwing task on the first day of the study. On the second day of the study, the children underwent a series of performance tests, including the static and dynamic balance test, pro-agility test, and countermovement jump test. Results: Partial correlation analyses showed no association between motor competence and any performance test results. Fisher's r-to-z analysis test also indicated that gender did not differentiate the results in terms of the potential association between motor competence and performance test results. Conclusion: No significant association was found between motor competence and physical performance in children aged 4-6 years. Gender did not influence this relationship either. These findings suggest that further research with larger and more diverse samples is needed to better understand the link between motor competence and physical performance in early childhood.Öğe Exploring the relationship between zest for work and self-efficacy in referee career retention(Editura Universitatii din Pitesti, 2024) Karaçam, Aydin; Orhan, Bekir Erhan; Özdemir, Ali Selman; Canli, Umut; Astuti, Yuni; Mario, Deby TriThis study investigated the correlation between Zest for work and self-efficacy in the retention of professional referee careers. The research employed a relational screening model and used convenience sampling owing to the ongoing season. A total of 330 referees participated, comprising 47% (n = 155) basketball referees, 19% (n = 63) handball referees, 17% (n = 56) football referees, and 17% (n = 56) volleyball referees. Among the referees, 23.3% (n = 44) were female, and 76.7% were male. A personal information form as a data collection tool was used for the research, The Referee Retention Scale (RRS), The Zest for Work Scale for Referees (ZWSR) and "The Referee Self-Efficacy Scale (REFS)". Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25. The t-test was used to compare the referees' RSS, ZWSR, REFS, and sub-categories by gender, and one-way ANOVA was used to compare them by branch. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationships between the age and seniority of the referees and the relationships between the RSS and its subcategories, ZWSR and REFS, and their sub-categories. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to predict the referees' retention of professional careers. The significance level was taken as p <.05. When the findings were examined; it was concluded that an increase in Zest for work and perceived self-efficacy positively influenced the referees' attitudes and willingness to continue working in the field. The multiple linear regression analysis results regarding predicting the continuation of referees in their profession show that professional satisfaction and self-efficacy positively influence referees' decisions to remain and persist in their profession. © JPES.Öğe Finding Stability-A Case Report on the Benefits of Adapted Kata Training for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder(Mdpi, 2024) Orhan, Bekir Erhan; Uzuncayir, Dilek; Canli, Umut; Karacam, Aydin; Ozdemir, Ali Selman; Popa, Cristian; Iconomescu, Teodora-MihaelaThis study investigated the efficacy of an Adapted Kata Training Program (AKTP) in enhancing balance for a 10-year-old child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), employing a mixed-model approach for data collection. Over 12 weeks, the AKTP demonstrated significant improvements in the child's balance abilities, with an 11% increase in static balance, 8% in proprioceptive, 12% in horizontal, and 14% in vertical balance performance. These improvements persisted in a follow-up assessment after four weeks. Observations by the child's mother corroborated the above findings. Consequently, this research suggests the AKTP as a valuable non-pharmacological intervention to improve balance in children with ASD. However, further studies are necessary to validate these results and explore the impact on additional developmental domains, such as cognitive and motor skills.Öğe Following changes in balance and cognitive performance on healthy middle-aged people: evaluation of the effect of two types of concurrent training(Termedia Publishing House Ltd, 2023) Canli, Umut; Prieto-Gonzalez, PabloPurpose. The study aimed to compare the effects of two different concurrent training protocols applied to healthy middle-aged individuals on balance parameters and cognitive functions. Methods. Thirty-three middle-aged adults voluntarily participated in this study. A randomised, between-group design (Strength+Aerobic Group [SAG] and control group Aerobic+Strength Group [ASG]) was used. After collecting data related to the main characteristics of the subjects (i.e., age, sex, medical history, smoking habits), the following assessments were made: Subjects' physical activity level, balance parameters, and inhibition and attention indicators. The intervention lasted 13 weeks (2 sessions per week, 50 minutes per session). Results. Both protocols (SAG and ASG) significantly improved balance performance. However, as for the group-by-time interaction, no significant difference between the two groups were observed in any of the parameters assessed (F(1-31) = 0.843; 0.760; 0.612; 0.656; p > 0.05). Thus, it was found that participating in either the SAG or ASG groups had no significant influence on attention accuracy, reaction time, total number of matters processed (participants' psychomotor speed), and non-marked letters (selective attention) (post-test-pre-test difference: F(1-31) = 0.239, 0.337, 0.738, 0.414; p > 0.05). It was also observed that both training programs resulted in similar improvements in all balance characteristics and cognitive parameters. Conclusions. It was found that the order of strength or aerobic exercises in the concurrent training for improving balance and cognitive parameters in healthy middle-aged individuals is not significant.Öğe 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.Öğe Predicting functional movement capacity in adults: the effect of range of motion and isometric strength(Bmc, 2024) Ozkan, Mazhar; Canli, Umut; Alwhaibi, Reem; Ustamer, Kubra; Karacam, Aydin; Orhan, Bekir Erhan; Bohn, LucimereThe aim of the study was to determine the role of isometric strength and range of motion in predicting Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores of adults. A total of 120 participants (age = 34.62 +/- 11.82 years; height = 170.56 +/- 9.63 cm; weight = 73.62 +/- 15.39 kg) volunteered to participate in the study. Anthropometric measurements were performed, including height, body weight, muscle mass, and body fat. Following this, the ranges of motion of the shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle joints were measured sequentially. Isometric strength and FMS tests were then performed. Hip extension isometric strength explained 23% of the variation in FMStotal. The common effect of knee flexion, shoulder flexion, and dorsiflexion joint range of motion explained 34% of the change in FMStotal (F ((3-116)) = 20.375, p < 0.001). A significant relationship (R = 0.658, R-2 = 0.413) was found between hip extension isometric strength, knee flexion, shoulder flexion, and dorsiflexion range of motion and FMStotal (F ((4-115)) = 21.952, p < 0.001). The common effect of all these variables explains 43% of the change in FMStotal. The results indicate that the FMS test scores, which are utilized to evaluate the risk of injury in sedentary adults, can be significantly predicted by the effect of hip extension isometric strength and parameters related to knee flexion, shoulder flexion, and dorsiflexion joint range of motion. At this time, it is advised that range of motion and isometric strength be taken into account when determining a person's functional movement capacity.Öğe 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 IoanaBackground: 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.Öğe THE EFFECT OF PROPRIOCEPTIVE TRAINING ON HIGH-INTENSITY ACTIONS AND TECHNIQUE IN FOOTBALL PLAYERS: A TRAINING PROGRAM(University of Ljubljana, 2022) Viran, Suleyman; Canli, UmutIt is aimed to determine the level of influence of proprioceptive training applied to young football players on high-intensity actions and football-specific skills of football players. The research group consists of 30 male football players (age = 15.86 ± 0.69). The participants were divided into 2 groups as proprioceptive training group (PTG) and control group, each consisting of 15 football players. The body height and body weight of the participants were measured. Hand-eye coordination, vertical jump, sprint, agility, and core endurance tests, which are defined as high-intensity actions, were applied to the participants. Dynamic balance performances of the participants were also determined. Passing, ball control and dribbling were measured by international tests to determine the participants' football-specific skills. No significant differences were found between the groups in the comparison of PTG and CG in terms of high-intensity actions (p>0.05). There was also no significant difference in the comparison of the dynamic balance performance of both dominant and non-dominant feet (p>0.05). Significant differences were determined in favor of the PTG group in the variables of football-specific skills such as pass shot rate and the number of ball control (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between CG and PTG in the values of passing time and dribbling time (p>0.05). As a result, it can be stated that in addition to football training, proprioceptive training contributes positively to the development of skills such as passing and ball control, which we can show among the basic football skills. © 2022, University of Ljubljana.

Methods: The study group consisted of 40 male football players who were actively trained and had no previous eccentric training experience or reported any injuries. The participants were randomly divided into a training group (TG = 20) and a control group (CG = 20). The TG performed the NHCT program twice a week for eight weeks, in addition to their standard football training. The CG continued with standard football training. Results: The study findings revealed no statistically significant differences in the interaction between group and time in 10, 20, and 30 m sprint performance. However, statistically significant differences were found in CMJ performance in terms of group-time interaction (F = 19.99, p < 0.001, eta(2) = 0.52), COD (F = 11.10, p < 0.004, eta(2) = 0.38), and NHCBP (F = 6.14; p < 0.02; eta(2) = 0.25). After the eight-week NHCT program, the experimental group showed improvements of 18% in CMJ performance, 8% in COD performance, and 25% in NHCBP performance. Conclusions: The NHCT program significantly increased hamstring muscle strength in football players, and this increase positively affected players' linear speed and change of direction performance. NHCT has the potential to enhance athletic performance in football.Öğe The effects of structured coordinative exercise protocol on physical fitness, motor competence and inhibitory control in preschool children(Nature Portfolio, 2024) Sendil, Ali Mert; Canli, Umut; Sheeha, Bodor Bin; Alkhamees, Nouf H.; Batrakoulis, Alexios; Al-Mhanna, Sameer BadriThe aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of a structured coordinative exercise intervention based on motor skill elements on physical fitness (PF), motor competence (MC) and inhibitory control (IC) in preschool children. A total of 41 kindergarten children (27 boys and 17 girls) aged between 5 and 6 years participated and were divided into exercise (EG; n = 18) and control (CG; n = 23) groups. The exercise group participated in a structured coordinative exercise programme focusing on locomotor and balance skills such as side-stepping, galloping, jumping and running for 30 min, 2 days a week for 8 weeks. The control group followed the normal curriculum. Children participated in measurements before and after 8 weeks, respectively; motor competence was assessed using the K & ouml;rperkoordinationstest f & uuml;r Kinder (KTK3+) test battery, which includes eye-hand coordination and other coordinative skills. Physical fitness was measured by balance, agility and vertical jump tests. Inhibitory control was assessed using the Go/NoGo test in the Early Years Toolbox. As a result of the two-factor analysis of variance for mixed measures to determine whether being in the exercising group had a significant effect on the test scores, group by time interaction effect showed that the increase in the scores of the exercise group was significantly higher than that of the control group in the parameters of static balance, KTK sideways jump and KTK eye-hand coordination [respectively: F(1-39) = 6.993, p = 0.012; 6.443, p = 0.015; 8.180, p = 0.007). The results show that structured coordinative exercises improve PF and MC but have no significant effect on IC. This study targets the development of motor and cognitive skills considered to be important in preschool children and is one of the few studies to evaluate these parameters simultaneously. It also provides a comprehensive perspective on interventions aimed to positively affect health and development in early childhood.Trial Registration: NCT06631248. Registered on October 07, 2024.Öğe 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.Öğe 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.
