    (TERMEDIA PUBLISHING HOUSE LTD, 2023) Cıncık, Merve; Çiçek, Güner; Özdurak Sıngın, Rabia Hürrem
    Background. The aim of this study was to determine the Internet addiction level of university students and to investigate if there is an association between the Internet addiction and physical activity (PA). Material and methods. A total of 1419 participants studying at the Faculty of Sports Sciences (n=609) and the Faculty of Health Sciences (n=810) volunteered in the study and filled in the Personal Information Form. Data for the Internet addiction and PA level was collected by using Young’s Internet Addiction Scale and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), respectively. Results. According to the results of the study, the Internet addiction level of university students was mainly asymptomatic (90.3%), and only (9.7%) of all students showed limited symptoms. None of the students fell into the category of pathological Internet users in both faculties. The results revealed that 64.8% of the participants were found to be inactive, whereas only 35.2% of the students were physically active. According to the results, 92.3% of students who do high levels of PA were asymptomatic, and only 7.7% of them showed limited symptoms. Conclusions. Although itis believed that young adults use the Internet very actively and are prone to addiction, the results of the study showed that the rate of the Internet addiction symptoms in students is quite low, and none of the students suffer pathological symptoms of using the Internet.

    (Kamla-Raj Enterprises, 2015) Çiçek, Güner; Atan, Tülin; Kamuk, Yetkin Utku; İmamoğlu, Osman; Yamaner, Faruk; Aslan, Veysi
    The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise on depression levels. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was applied to a total of 605 subjects at different exercise levels. The BDI score of non-exercising group was 13.18, while the average score of those who exercise was found to be 8.93. Non-exercising group showed higher depressive symptoms than the exercising group. Gender had no significant difference on the levels of depression (p>.05). Non-exercising group was found to be more depressive than the exercising group (p<.01). It was observed that exercising resulted in a low level of depression and the level of depression was reduced as the exercise time was increased. It can be said that exercise had a positive effect on reducing depression. People should be motivated and encouraged for having the habit of regular exercise to improve the quality of life. © Kamla-Raj 2015.

    (DRUNPP Sarajevo, 2012) Atan, Tülin; Tural, Ercan; İmamoğlu, Osman; Çiçek, Güner; Tural, Şengül
    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity level of teachers and health professionals and to investigate whether there were differences in physical activity level between two separate groups. Method: To determine the physical activity levels International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was applied to 200 teachers (age; 36.28±6.58) including 92 male and 108 female working in primary schools and 200 health professionals (age; 33.63±7.55 years) including 62 male and 138 female working in university hospital. The short-form of IPAQ which includes last one week containing the 7 item has been used to determine the physical activity levels. Mann Whitney-U test was used to evaluate the differences between two groups. The relations of parameters, such as profession, age, gender, branch, height, weight, drug alcohol and tobacco use and marital status with Physical Activity level were analyzed by using Chi-Square test. Results: The weekly physical activity score of teachers and health professionals were 1544.58 MET-min/week and 1986.59 MET-min/week respectively and no statistically difference was found (p>0.05). Health professionals' walking activity and time of sitting were found higher than teachers (p<0.05 and p<0,01). Physical activity scores were not found significantly different between male teachers and male health professionals (p>0.05). Total physical activity scores, walking activity scores and sitting times were found significantly higher in female health professionals than female teachers (p<0.05; p<0.01). Conclusion: Total physical activity levels of teachers and health professionals were not different and insufficient. The physical activity level increase in teachers and decrease in health professionals with increasing age and with smoking. Gender difference and marriage affects the physical activity level of teachers but does not affect the health professionals. Physical activity level was not different according to drug, alcohol consumption and BMI in both occupation groups. As raecdti Physical Activity level in terms of some variables differed between two professional Groups.

    (Horizon Research Publishing, 2018) Çiçek, Güner
    This study was to investigate the physical activity (PA) and quality of life (QoL) of sports department students (SDS) and other department students (ODS) attending university. A total of 300 university students participated in this study. 150 SDS (age; 20.67±1.65 years) including 89 males and 61 females and 150 ODS (age; 19.45±1.22 years) 56 males and 94 females. To determine the physical activity levels, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short and Quality of Life questionnaire-short form (WHOQOL-BREF) were applied. The weekly physical activity scores of SDS and ODS were 5386.24 ±3528.47 MET-min/week and 1616.85±1249.12 MET-min/week respectively and statistically difference was found (p<0.001). QoL levels and physical, psychological, social relations and environmental parameters of SDS were found to be higher than ODS and statistically significant (p <0.001). In comparison with the genders, the total average PA score of men was found as 4938.86 ± 3919.33 MET-minute/week while that of women was found as 2592.44 ± 2276.82 MET-minute/week. In the QoL parameters, only the social relations of men were higher than women, and a statistically significant difference was found (p <0.001). In university students, it was found that as the PA scores increased, QoL levels also increased and there was a positive relationship between them. Students should be encouraged to do sport in their spare time to improve their QoL levels. © 2018 by authors, all rights reserved.

    The effect of aerobic and core exercises on forced vital capacity
    (De Gruyter Open Ltd, 2018) Çiçek, Güner; Güllü, Abdullah; Güllü, Esin; Yamaner, Faruk
    The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of aerobic and core strength exercises on forced vital capacity in sedentary women. A total of 40 healthy sedentary women (20 in an aerobic-step group and 20 in a core strength exercise group) with a mean age of 34.4±2.4 years participated voluntarily in this study. Two different exercises were applied to the women for 12 weeks, 4 days a week, at the intensity of 70% for 60 minutes. The women's resting heart rate (RHR), maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced air volume in the first second of forced expiration (FEV1) were measured before and after exercise. For statistical analysis, the Paired Samples-t test was used for intra-group evaluations, and the Independent Samples-t test was used for inter-group evaluations. After the exercise program, significant increases were found in the VO2max, FVC, and FEV1 values, while both groups experienced a decreased RHR (p<0.01). Since the aerobic and forced vital capacities of the sedentary women show a parallel increase as a result of the applied 12-week aerobic and core strength exercises, it can be said that the RHR, VO2max, FEV, and FEV1 respiratory parameters also improved in a positive manner. For this reason, it may be advisable to apply both exercise types for the development of the aerobic and vital capacities of sedentary women. © 2018 De Gruyter Open Ltd. All rights reserved.

    The effect of aerobic and high-intensity interval training on plasma pentraxin 3 and lipid parameters in overweight and obese women
    (PEERJ INC, 2024) Çiçek, Güner; Özcan, Oğuzhan; Akyol, Pelin; Işık, Özkan; Novak, Dario; Küçük, Hamza
    Background. It is unclear whether different exercise programs lead to an increase in the concentration of plasma Pentraxin3 (PTX3), an anti-inflammatory protein. This study aimed to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise (AE) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on plasma PTX3 levels in overweight and obese women. Method. A total of 45 sedentary women aged between 32.26 ± 6.30 voluntarily participated in the study. The control group (CG, n = 15) was selected among normalweight women. Women in the group of participants who partook in exercise consisted of overweight and obese women according to a random method, including the AE group (n = 15) and the HIIT group (n = 15). The AE session conducted was 50 min in duration and consisted of warm-up exercises (5 min), and primary exercises (40 min, basic aerobic-step exercises). HIIT consists of warm-up exercises (5 min), primary exercises (work intervals: 6?10 × 1 min (80–90% HRmax), rest intervals: 1 min (walk, 50% HRmax), 21–29 min running. The exercises were applied for three sessions/week for 12 weeks. Fasting blood samples were taken from all participants before and after exercise and their body composition was measured. Results. As a result of two different 12-week exercises, serum PTX3 levels increased significantly by 47.53% in the AE group and 50.21% in the HIIT group (p < 0.01). It was determined that the mean PTX3 before and after exercise increased from 1.71 ± 0.43 to 2.47 ± 0.40 ng/dL and HIIT from 1.62 ± 0.39 to 2.31 ± 0.33 ng/dL. A significant decrease in body mass index (BMI) values were detected, approximately 5.81% in the AE group and 5.06% in the HIIT group (p < .01). A significant decrease was detected in glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, LDL-C, and hsCRP whereas HDL-C and VO2max value increased significantly in both exercise groups (p < .05; p < .01). There were no significant differences in TG and TC levels between groups (p > .05). Also, no significant differences were found between the two types of exercises in terms of parameters. A significant negative correlation in the total sample was found between PTX3 with BMI, fat mass, LDL-C, and hsCRP.

    The effect of exercise induced weight-loss on myokines and adipokines in overweight sedentary females: Steps-aerobics vs. jogging-walking exercises
    (Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2018) Düzova, Halil; Güllü, Esin; Çiçek, Güner; Köksal, Burcu K.; Kayhan, Başak; Güllü, Abdullah; Şahin, İbrahim
    Background:The objectives of this study were to verify effects of step-aerobic exercise (SAE) and jogging-walking exercise (JWE) program on myokines and adipokines levels in overweight sedentary females. Methods:Volunteer subjects (N.=25) were assigned to two exercise groups: steps aerobics and jogging-walking. The exercise program given to them was for five days a week and for twelve weeks period. Serum samples were collected from venous blood before and immediately after Cardio-Respiratory Fitness Test (CRF) by Bruce protocol and stored at -80° Cuntilthey were assayed before 12 weeks exercise program. After 12-weeks training program this procedure was repeated. Serum TNF-?, IL-6, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, leptin, resistin and adiponectin levels were assayed by ELISA. Results: Leptin and IL-15 levels were increased whereas resistin levels were decreased after CRFTest in JWEtraining group following 12-weeks exercise program. TNF-?, IL-15 and IL-18 levels were higher and leptin levels were lower in SAE group than JWE group after 12-weeks exercise period. However, both SAE and JWE did not lead to significant change in serum levels of IL-17, IL-6 and adiponectin levels. Conclusions: This study has added to existing knowledge that both SAEand JWEmay cause weight loss especially in fat mass. But, the effect of SAE and JWE on myokines and adipokines levels may be the different. Further studies are needed to find out clinical importance of these findings. © 2016 EDIZIONI MINERVA MEDICA.

    (Elsevier (Singapore) Pte Ltd, 2017) Çiçek, Güner; İmamoğlu, Osman; Güllü, Abdullah; Çelik, Oğuzhan; Özcan, Oğuzhan; Güllü, Esin; Yamaner, Faruk
    The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 16 weeks step-aerobic exercises and core exercises on left ventricular structure and function with some physiological parameters in sedentary women. Methods To achieve the purpose of this study, a total of 45 volunteers including (step-aerobic group (SAG, n = 25), core exercise group (CEG, n = 20) were selected as participants. Two different exercises were applied for 4 days a week, throughout 16 weeks, within 60 minutes for each exercise with the intensity of heart rate (HR) 60-70 percent. The HR was measured using a heart rate monitor for each subject. The physical, biochemical and echocardiographic characteristics of the women were measured before and after the exercise. Results During the exercise periods, there were a meaningful decrease in the body weight, BMI, value of waist region and hip circumference of the women in both intervention groups as well as in the values of HR, DBP, SBP (p < 0,05). In addition, serum homocysteine (Hcy) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) levels decreased and the VO2max and left ventricular diastolic end-diastolic dimension increased in both SAG and CEG (p < 0.05). The left ventricular diastolic functions of the SAG improved more than CEG. Left ventricular systolic ejection time and fractional shortening meaningfully improved in both SAG and CEG (p < 0.01). Conclusion 16 weeks of step-aerobic and core exercise showed significant changes of inflammatory and lipid markers with cardiac dimensions and had favorable effects on both left ventricular systolic function. Left ventricular diastolic function had more improved in SAG than the CEG. © 2017

    The effects of two different exercise programmes on adipose tissue hormones in sedentary middle-aged women
    (Informa Healthcare, 2015) Özcan, Oğuzhan; Bostancı, Mehmet Ömer; Çiçek, Güner; Yamaner, Faruk
    Adipokines play an important role in obesity and related inflammatory disorders. We aimed to determine the effects of exercise training on serum adipokines. Forty sedentary women were randomly assigned to two groups as aerobic (AE) and core exercise (CE). The exercise programmes were performed 4 days a week for 16 weeks. Blood samples were taken before and after the 8 and 16 weeks training period. Percent changes of each parameter were calculated. Sixteen weeks of exercise caused significant decrease in body weight and fat mass (p<0.001), significant increase in adiponectin (16.1% in AE, 15.8% in CE group, p<0.05) and resistin levels (21.1% in AE and 26.6% in CE group, p<0.05) but had no effect on leptin and ghrelin levels. Eight weeks of exercise had no effect on adipokines except leptin. These data suggest that both exercise programmes have improving effects on body composition, adiponectin and resistin levels. © 2015 Informa UK Ltd.
