Öğe Effect of Age on Speed and Agility in Early Adolescence(Int Journal Applied Exercise Physiology, 2020) Uzun, Ahmet; Akbulut, Alperen; Erkek, Ali; Pamuk, Omer; Bozoglu, M. SabirPurpose of this study is to investigate the effect of age on speed and agility in early adolescence. The study consists of 12, 13, 14 and 15-year old licensed athletes who compete in elite teams in basketball (n=46) and football (n=54) leagues. 110 basketball and football players participated in the study with following averages: age 13,2 +/-,17, height 1,70 +/-,02, body weight 63,9 +/- 2,3 and body mass index 21,7 +/-,5. In the study, 5 different tests including 20-meter speed test, T Dril, Illinois, Hexagonal Obstacle and 505 Agility tests were used. Independent Samples T Test was used for comparisons between the groups and all statistical analyzes were accepted with P<0.05 significance level. As a result of the tests, it was found that the speed values between the ages of 12-13 and 14 and the agility values between the ages of 13-14 were at statistically significant levels. In athletes in early adolescence, it was seen speed creates positive differences in favor of age 13 in the age range of 12-13 while speed and agility performances create positive differences in favor of age 14 in the age range of 13-14. As a result, it has been concluded that these results must be taken into consideration in academic studies and sports activities conducted with children in adolescence. In addition, it can be said that it may be more accurate to implement these results at the end of adolescence during the specialization phase of athletes.Öğe Effect of Pilates and Reformer Exercises on Body Composition(Int Journal Applied Exercise Physiology, 2020) Uzun, Ahmet; Demir, BahadirThe aim of this study is to examine the effect of pilates and reformer exercises on body composition and anthropometric characteristics in sedentary women. Also, It is aimed to determine the regional effects of reformer and pilates in the body and to determine which type of exercise is more effective. 36 sedentary women with an average age of 30.1 +/- 0.5 participated in the study as volunteers. All participants are divided into two groups, pilates (n:17) and reformer (n:19). Participants were given 60 minutes of pilates and reformer exercises 2 days a week for 8 weeks. The Ethics Committee approved the study. In the study data, body composition was obtained by measuring waist, buttocks, arm, leg, chest, abdomen and anthropometric parameters in anatomical posture by measuring them with tape measure and recording them in centimetres. In the pretest and finaltest results comparisons in sedentary women who exercised pilates and reformer, differences in body weight, arm, chest, waist thickness, abdomen, hip, thigh, body mass index and waist/hip variables were found to be significant in the groups themselves, while no significant difference was found between the groups (p>0,05). However, in the leg variable, the difference in the last test values between the groups was found to be significant (p=0,03). As a result, pilates and reformer exercises have positive effects on body composition in women; It has been concluded that reformer is a more effective type of exercise than pilates, and that both types of exercise may vary their levels of impact in different regions of the body.Öğe The Effect of Skipping, Ground Ladder and Line Drill Trainings on Speed, Agility and Coordination in Basketball Players(Lahore Medical & Dental Coll, 2022) Uzun, Ahmet; Pulur, Atilla; Erkek, AliAim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of intensive skipping, line drill and ground ladder training on speed, agility and coordination in order to increase the performance of athletes during the short camp period. Methods: The study group was selected from among 3000 athletes determined as a result of the screenings covering 81 provinces for the Turkey men's star national basketball team. 92 athletes who passed the first stage, which consisted of physical characteristics and pre-test evaluations, participated in the study. In addition to general basketball training, young basketball players were given intensive skipping, line drill and ground ladder exercises for 15 days. The average age of the basketball players participating in the study was 15,52 +/-,5 years, height 185,01 +/- 5,9 cm, and body weight 75,22 +/- 3,6 kg. In the study, 30 meters, illinois agility, hexagonal (coordination) and T Drill tests were used to determine the speed, coordination and agility of basketball players. Results: While no significant difference was found in the 30 meter Speed Test values of the basketball players in the study, a statistically significant difference was found in the Illinois Agility Test, T Drill Agility Test and Hexagonal Coordination Test values. As a result, it was concluded that the intense skipping, ground ladder and line drill trainings during the short camp period did not improve speed, but the agility and coordination of the athletes significantly improved. Conclusion: In the light of these results, it can be said that it would be appropriate for the athletes to have skipping, ground ladder and line drill trainings in order to improve agility and coordination during the short camp period.Öğe The origin and branching of medial calcaneal nerve in newborn foetuses(Elsevier Science Bv, 2014) Ulcay, Tufan; Uzun, Ahmet; Ziylan, TanerIntroduction: Entrapment of the medial heel region nerves is often mentioned as a possible cause of heel pain. Some authors have suggested that the medial calcaneal nerve (MCN) may be involved in such heel pain. The aim of the present study is to describe the variations of the origin of the medial calcaneal nerve and its branching patterns in the medial aspect of the calcaneus which establishes an anatomical guide for diagnosis and therapy of some tarsal region diseases. Material and methods: The formation and course of the MCN were traced to its branches in the distal ankle with the use of 4.8 X stereomicroscope (Carl-Zeis) or 28 X loop magnification for dissections of 36 newborn feet of formalin fixed cadavers. Results: The MCN originated from the tibial nerve (TN) in 61.1% and from the lateral plantar nerve (LPN) 16.7%, bilaterally. It branches from the TN on the right side and from the LPN on the left side in 11.1%, from the LPN on the right side and from the TN on the left side in 11.1%.The MCN consisted of 1 terminal branch in 3 out of 36 feet, 2 terminal branches in 28 out of 36, and 3 terminal branches in 5 out of 36. Discussion: The course and the origin of MCN on the medial aspect of the heel and its terminal branches were quite different. These variabilities will enable the surgeon to find and preserve the MCN and its terminal branches. Copyright (C) 2014, Anatomical Society of India. Published by Reed Elsevier India Pvt. Ltd.
