    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, Pablo
    Objectives: 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.

    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, Pablo
    Purpose. 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.
