Examination of Aggression Levels and Empathic Tendency Levels of Secondary School Students who Involve or not Involve in Sports
No full textAbstractThis study was conducted to examine the aggression levels and empathic tendency levels of secondary students who involve or not involve in sports. “Aggression Inventory” developed by Kiper (1984) and “Empathic Tendency Scale” developed by Dokmen (1998) were applied to a total of 514 secondary school students (consists of 266 males, 248 females) who had been studying in a secondary school in the city center of Corum province and had been randomly selected in the academic year of 2010-2011. “Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA)” and “One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)” were used for the analysis of data and as a result of these variance analyses; “The Scheffe's Test” was used in order to determine the source of the difference. According to the findings obtained, it has been observed that the students whose family members involve in sports found to have higher destructive, assertive and overall aggression scores when compared to the students whose family members do not involve in sports. It was found that assertive aggression scores of the students who involve in sports are higher than the students who do not involve in sports. It was found that empathic tendency scores of the students who are also national athletes are higher than the scores of students who are club athletes. As a result, the empathy level of people decreases with the increasing level of aggression. It can be argued that the passive aggression decreases with the increasing empathic tendency and assertiveness increases with the increasing empathic tendency
Burnout Levels of Physical Education Teachers According to Personal Factors
No full textAbstractThis research has been done in order to examine the burnout levels of physical education (P.E.) teachers. 275 PE teachers, who serve in the 2012-2013 academic year at the secondary and high schools under the Ministry of National Education assigned in Ordu province constitute the research process. In addition, 163 PE teachers assigned in Ordu province who have been contacted by “random sampling method” constitute the sampling group of the research. In order to collect the data, “Personal Information Form” and “Maslach Exhaustion Inventory-Educator Form” have been used. In analysing the data; the test of independent group for the comparison of two groups in terms of test of normality, one way variant analysis for the comparisons of three or more groups; due to homogeneity of variants, Scheffe and LSD multiple comparison tests of post-hoc tests have been used in order to determine the source variations found meaningful of the one way variant analysis. As a result of this review it has been determined that some of the data do not have a normal distribution and Mann-Whitney U test has been used for binary cluster comparison. For the statistical analysis in the research, significance levels have been taken as 0.05 and 0.01.According to the results of the research; gender, marital and educational status of physical education teachers create no difference in their levels of burnout. Statistically significant differences were not observed for the age of teachers in the emotional and depersonalisation subscale scores mean (p> 0.05).A significant difference has been detected in personal achievement scores mean which is one of the subscales of burn out (p <0.05).In comparison of the groups;the difference seen is that,the average of teachers who are 40 years old and above (24,39±3,56) is higher than the average of ones that are 20-29(22,16±3,63) and 30-39 (22,68±3,74) years old

No full textEffects of Calisthenics and Pilates Exercises on Coordination and Proprioception in Adult Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial
No full textWOS: 000307747700005PubMed ID: 22104298Objective: To assess and compare the effects of 6 mo of Pilates and calisthenics on multijoint coordination and proprioception of the lower limbs at the 3rd and 6th mo of training. Design: Randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded, repeated-measures. Setting.- University research laboratory. Participants and Intervention: Healthy, sedentary, female participants age 25-50 y were recruited and randomly divided into 3 groups: a calisthenic exercise group (n = 34, mean age +/- SD 40 +/- 8 y, body-mass index [BMI] 31.04 +/- 4.83 kg/m(2)), a Pilates exercise group (n = 32, mean age SD 37 8 y, BMI 31.04 4.83 kg/m(2)), and a control group (n = 41, mean age +/- SD 41 +/- 7 y, BMI 27.09 +/- 4.77 kg/m(2)). The calisthenics and Pilates groups underwent related training programs for 6 mo, while the controls had no specific training. Main Outcome Measures: Coordination and proprioception of the lower extremities with concentric and eccentric performances in the closed kinetic chain assessed with the monitored rehab functional squat system at baseline and at the 3rd and 6th mo of training. Results: For the within-group comparison, coordinative concentric and eccentric deviation values were significantly decreased for both dominant and nondominant lower limbs at pretraining and at the 3rd and 6th mo posttraining in the calisthenics group (P.05). Conclusions: It seems that calisthenic exercises are more likely to improve coordination of the lower extremity after 3 and 6 mo of training than Pilates exercises. Calisthenic exercises may be useful for individuals who require improved coordination
Acute effects of scapular Kinesio Taping (R) on shoulder rotator strength, ROM and acromiohumeral distance in asymptomatic overhead athletes
No full textBACKGROUND: There is limited information in the literature that shows whether scapular taping has an effect on the acromiohumeral distance (AHD) and shoulder functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of scapular Kinesio Taping (R) on shoulder internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER) strength, IR and ER range of motion (ROM) and AHD in asymptomatic overhead athletes
The Effects of Jump-Rope Training on Shoulder Isokinetic Strength in Adolescent Volleyball Players
No full textObjective: To investigate the effect of a 12-wk weighted-jump-rope training program on shoulder strength. Design: Pretest to posttest experimental design. Setting: University sports physiotherapy laboratory. Participants: 24 healthy volleyball players age 13-16 y. Intervention: Group I took weighted-rope training (n = 9), group 2 took unweighted-rope training (n = 8), and group 3 did not train with any specific program (n = 7). Main Outcome Measures: Players' strength determined with an isokinetic dynamometer (Isomed 2000) at 180 and 60 degrees/s on external and internal rotators, supraspinatus peak torque, and total work of the dominant shoulder. Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U tests were used to determine the difference among the groups. Results: At pretraining evaluation, there were no significant differences in the test scores of the isokinetic test of full can and empty can between the groups at 60 and 180 degrees/s. There was no statistically significant difference for 60 and 180 degrees/s between pretraining and posttraining assessment (P>.05) except that total eccentric work increased in groups 1 and 3 but decreased in group 2 at 180 degrees/s during the full can (P.05). Internal-rotation values at 60 and 180 degrees/s decreased for both peak torque and total work for all groups. External-rotation peak torque and total work at 60 degrees/s increased for group I. External-rotation peak torque and total work at 180 degrees/s increased for all groups. Conclusions: The results indicate that a jump-rope training program is a good conditioning method for overhead athletes because of its potential benefits to shoulder strength
The Effect of Glenohumeral Internal-Rotation Deficit on Functional Rotator-Strength Ratio in Adolescent Overhead Athletes
No full textContext: Glenohumeral (GH) internal-rotation deficit (GIRD) and lower eccentric external-rotator (ER) to concentric internal-rotator (IR) strength (ER:IR) ratio have been documented as risk factors for shoulder injuries, but there is no information on whether GIRD has an adverse effect on ER:IR ratio in adolescent overhead athletes. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of GIRD on functional ER:IR ratio of the adolescent overhead athletes. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: University research laboratory. Participants: 52 adolescent overhead athletes. Main Outcome Measures: To determine GIRD, the range of GH IR and ER motion was measured with a digital inclinometer. An isokinetic dynamometer was used to assess eccentric and concentric IR and ER muscle strength of the dominant and nondominant shoulders. One-way ANCOVA where sport type was set as a covariate was used to analyze the difference between athletes with and without GIRD. Results: After standardized examinations of all shdulders, the athletes were divided into 2 groups, shoulders with (n = 27) and without GIRD (n = 25). There was a significant difference between groups in functional ER:IR ratio (P <.001). Athletes with GIRD had lower ER:IR ratio (0.56) than athletes without GIRD (0.83). Conclusions: As GIRD has an adverse effect on functional ratio of the shoulder-rotator muscles, interventions for adolescent overhead athletes should include improving GH-rotation range of motion
Isokinetic Strength Profile Of Shoulder Internal And External Rotators Of Adolescent Volleyball Players
No full textObjectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of limb dominance and gender on isometric, eccentric and concentric strength of the shoulder internal and external rotator muscles in adolescent volleyball players. Methods: Forty adolescent volleyball players [Male: 23( Age: 15.5±1.4 yrs, Body weight: 72±10.2 kg, Height: 184.4±7.6 cm, BMI: 20.9±2.6 kg/m2), Female: ( Age: 16.7±0.9 yrs, Body weight: 60.7±8.2 kg, Height: 172.5±5.3 cm, BMI: 20.4±2.3 kg/m2) participated in this study. Isomed 2000 isokinetic dynamometer was used to measure muscle strength testing. Isometric strength testing of shoulder internal and external rotator muscles were performed at 90 ° shoulder abduction and external rotation position. In the same position, concentric and eccentric muscle testing was performed at 90°/s angular velocity. Strength outcomes were recorded as Nm/kg. 2-way repeated measures of ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. Results: Dominance by gender interaction was not found significant for internal rotator (IR) and external rotator (ER) muscles' strength (IR: F(1,72)=2.87, p=0.06, ER: F(1,72)=1.98, p=0.15). There was a significant strength by dominance interaction for internal rotator muscles (F(2,72)=18.52, p<0.001). Isometric strength was greater in dominant limb (p<0.001)while concentric strength was found greater in non-dominant limb(p=0.006). Eccentric strength was found similar for limbs (p=0.18). IR muscles showed greater strength during eccentric (1.03±0.05), concentric (0.76±0.03) and isometric test (0.69±0.03), respectively. On the other hand, external rotators showed greater strength during eccentric (0.49±0.4), isometric (0.40±0.3) and concentric test (0.36±0.3), respectively. There was no significant gender effect on the strength (IR: F(2,72)=0.31, p=0.73, ER: F(2,72)=0.42, p=0.66). Conclusion: The strength of shoulder internal and external rotator muscles do not differ according to gender in adolescent volleyball players. Limb dominance has an effect on the strength of internal rotator muscles while it has no effect on the strength of external rotators. Both muscle groups show greater strength during eccentric testing.PubMe
