Postural analysis of adolescent young athletes in different sports branches
Full text linkThe effects of posture on athletic performance have been the focus of attention of many researchers and the importance of body posture in achieving success has become undeniable. This study aimed to perform the postural evaluation of adolescent youth athletes who are trained in basketball, soccer, volleyball, and swimming branches. A total of 88 adolescent athletes (32 boys and 56 girls) with an average age of ±12.37 years, an average height of ±1.58 cm, an average body weight of ±48.2 kg, an average BMI of ±18.19 and an average training age of ±2.06 years from football, volleyball, and swimming branches actively active in Manisa and Bursa provinces participated in the study. Posture analysis of the athletes was performed using the Apecs-AI Posture Evaluation and Correction System® mobile posture application. The data obtained from the athletes were evaluated with the NewYork Posture Assessment Test (NYPD). The data obtained from the study were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 package program. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used for independent samples. According to the results of the analysis, there was a significant difference between training age and NYPD scores according to branches (p<.05). Significance was found between NYPD and body axis scores in volleyball and soccer athletes (p<.05). There was no difference between NYPD and other variables in swimming and basketball. As a result, it is thought that the effect of the training age variable on posture structures differs specifically according to the branches, and posture is negatively affected as the training age increases in volleyball and soccer players

Psychological problem caused by lack of leisure activities for working people: Sunday syndrome: Çalışan bireylerde rekreatif aktivite bulamamanın neden olduğu psikolojik sorun: Pazar günü sendromu
Full text linkThis article focuses on the “Sunday syndrome”, a psychological condition experienced by working individuals in particular. This psychological process, which follows weekday work and occurs on Sunday, is examined from Viktor Frankl’s existential psychology perspective. Sunday syndrome is expressed as a condition that causes individuals who spend their weekday workdays with a certain work tempo at their workplaces to feel empty after the relative intensity they experience, thus triggering the individual to fall into an existential void and search for meaning. This syndrome, which has a direct and close relationship with Frankl’s concept of existential void, stands out as a state of mind that occurs especially due to individuals experiencing a loss of meaning, not being able to find a recreational activity to engage in on the weekend, or social and environmental inadequacies. In the article, based on Frankl’s existential philosophy, it is suggested that working individuals turn to recreational activities as a solution to Sunday syndrome, and it draws attention to the fact that new types of activities diversified by the development of technology can alleviate this feeling of emptiness in individuals, and opinions and suggestions are included in this direction.

Özet
Bu makalede, özellikle çalışan bireylerin yaşadığı psikolojik bir durum olan “Pazar günü sendromu” üzerinde durulmaktadır. Hafta içi çalışma günlerini takip eden ve Pazar günü ortaya çıkan bu psikolojik süreç, Viktor Frankl’ın varoluşçu psikoloji perspektifinde incelenmektedir. Pazar günü sendromu, hafta içi çalışma günlerini işyerlerindeki belirli bir çalışma temposuyla geçiren bireylerin, yaşadıkları görece yoğunluğunun ardından kendilerini boşlukta hissetmelerine neden olan, bu nedenle de bireyin varoluşsal boşluğa düşmesini ve anlam arayışını tetikleyen bir durum olarak ifade edilmektedir. Frankl’ın varoluşsal boşluk kavramı ile doğrudan ve yakın bir ilişki içinde olan bu sendrom, özellikle bireylerin anlam kaybı yaşaması, hafta sonunda uğraşacak bir rekreatif aktivite bulamaması ya da sosyal ve çevresel yetersizlikler nedeniyle oluşan bir ruh hâli olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Makalede, Frankl’ın varoluşsal felsefesi temelinde çalışan bireylere yönelik olarak Pazar günü sendromuna çözüm olarak rekreatif aktivitelere yönelmesi önerilmekte, teknolojinin gelişmesiyle çeşitlenen yeni aktivite türlerinin bireylerin bu boşluk hissini hafifletebilecekleri gerçeğine dikkat çekilerek bu doğrultuda görüş ve önerilere yer verilmektedir

Enhancing physical education at the middle school level exploring three innovative teaching methods
Full text linkTimes have evolved in the world of Physical Education (PE). The subject area has undergone significant changes, leaving behind the experiences of previous generations. The article explores the shifts in middle school PE, recognizing the challenges arising from decreased participation and motivation. Acknowledging the critical role of PE in shaping resilient, active, and self-motivated individuals, this article aims to help current PE teachers incorporate innovative teaching methods by giving some examples of how to do so. The article dives into three innovative teaching methods: gamification and technology integration, student-centered inquiry, and the flipped classroom. Gamification, combining play and technology into PE, catches students' attention and becomes an exciting journey. Student-centered inquiry allows learners to actively participate in their educational journey, encouraging exploration, critical thinking, and a genuine passion for physical activity. The flipped classroom strategy optimizes class time for physical activity by shifting content delivery outside the classroom. The impact of these innovative methods extends beyond traditional instructional approaches. They enhance student engagement and motivation, making PE relatable and enjoyable, which leads to increased participation and motivation. These helpful strategies encourage the development of essential life skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, and self-motivation, preparing students for challenges that go beyond the gymnasium
