Öğe Declared and real physical activity in obese individuals as assessed by the questionnaire and accelerometer(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2020) Gökçe, İsmail; Can, Sema; Demirkan, Erkan; Küçükler, Ferit Kerim; Turgal, EbruBACKGROUND: Due to the lack of precise research data related to the evaluation of the physical activity level (PAL) among obese individuals, the aims of the study were to evaluate declared and real volume of physical activity, and to assess the correlations between these methods. METHODS: The study consisted of 30 female (M-age =32.9 +/- 7.3 years) and 16 male (M-age=36.4 +/- 8.4 years) a total of 46 obese volunteer individuals were included (M-bmi:37.6 +/- 6.6 kg/m(2), M-bmi: 34.2 +/- 43 kg/m(2); body fat percentage: 42.1% and 35.2%, respectively). A cross-sectional study was conducted on the obese people. The inionnation form was prepared for obese individuals who applied the Health Institutions and body composition measurements were performed with Tanita BC-1000. PAL was assessed objectively by a Sense Wear Armband (SWA) for 7 consecutive days- and seven day later the participants fill out the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF). For statistical analysis, the data were presented as mean values, Standard deviations (SD), frequency (f), and percentage (%). Spearman's Rho Correlation were used, and the significant level was P<0.05. RESULTS: According to IPAQ and SWA, 69.6% (10.9% plus 58.7%) of the participants (N.=32) estimated activity levels as correct. The PAL of 30.4% (N.=14) of the participants does not seem to be consistent. According to the IPAQ and SWA, the rates of moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were 80.4%, 67.4% respectively. Weak correlation was found-between IPAQ-MET and SWA-step/day and SWA-MET respectively (r((s))=0.381; 0.410 (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Physical activity level being assessed by a subjective method was different from the objective method in obese individuals. In addition to this, sample groups and limitations should be taken into consideration when determining suitable methods.Öğe Determination of musculoskeletal system pain, physical activity intensity, and prolonged sitting of university students using smartphone(Sciendo, 2019) Can, Sema; Karaca, AydaStudy aim: The purpose of this study was to examine smartphone-using university students' musculoskeletal system pain complaints, duration of smartphone and computer usage, participation in moderate-vigorous physical activities (MVPA), and prolonged sitting time. Material and methods: This study was conducted on Hitit University students (n = 387; 206 female, 181 male) in the province of Çorum. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the Physical Activity Assessment Ques-tionnaire (PAAQ) (sports/exercise activities section), and a personal information form prepared by the researchers were used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics and the t-test were used to determine differences between groups. The Pearson chi-square test was used to examine the relationship between categorical variables. Results: It was observed that half of the participants with musculoskeletal system pain complaints (54.5%) feel the pain in all four areas (neck, shoulder, upper and lower back). There was no statistically significant relationship between physical activity intensity and pain complaint (p > 0.05). The students with musculoskeletal pain complaints spend more time on the smartphone and computer than students who do not have pain complaints (p < 0.05). During electronic device usage, the students who are in the low-intensity physical activity category spend more time sitting down than students in the moderate/vigorous intensity physical activity category (p < 0.05). Conclusions: In consequence, information can be provided about the importance of reducing sitting time during smartphone use and increasing the duration of moderate/vigorous-intensity physical activity (PA) so awareness can be raised on the issue among university students. © 2019 Sema Can, Ayda Karaca, published by Sciendo.Öğe Different physical activity guidelines and its association with socio-demographic and anthropometric characteristics among working women(Gdansk Univ Physical Education & Sport, 2017) Can, Sema; Arslan, Ersan; Biernat, Elzbieta; Piatkowska, MonikaBackground Physical activity, supporting health, wellbeing and working ability, is not only vitally important for healthy people, but also necessary for workers, especially women. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between meeting different physical activity guidelines and socio-demographic and anthropometric characteristics in middle-aged females from Turkey. Material/Methods Physical activity was assessed using the Sense Wear Armband. Logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between socio-demographic and anthropometric criteria and the odds of meeting different physical activity guidelines. Results All females achieved >= 150 min/week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. With regard to vigorous physical activity, only 5% of women achieved >= 75 min/week. Among all studied socio-demographic and anthropometric characteristics only the waist-to-hip rate and income differentiated odds for meeting the World Health Organization criterion. Conclusions Different percentages of subjects fulfill the pro-health criteria depending on the norm considered. We do need to identify the best criteria of PA to meet adequate health. It is crucial to take into account time, frequency and intensity of aerobic efforts but also in relation to energy expenditure related to resistance (anaerobic) and flexibility efforts while formulating physical activity guidelines.Öğe Do the body weight perception and body mass index affect the participation of exercise?(SCIENDO, 2022) Can, Sema; Demirkan, Erkan; Çeviker, AbdulkerimStudy aim: In this study, it is aimed to find out the exercise preferences based on the Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Weight Perception (BWP), and to determine the consistency between BMI and BWP calculated via the self-reporting method. Material and methods: The study was conducted total of 297 volunteers, included 174 females (Mage = 27.19 ± 9.94 years) and 123 males (Mage = 26.08 ± 10.15 years), who were members of the physical activity center. The height and body weight values were obtained based on the self-reports. BWP was assessed by asking “how do you describe your weight?” As a statistical analysis, the Pearson chi-square test and Kappa statistics were used. Results: It was determined that overweight/obese female prefered most the strength exercises, whereas, overweight/obese men, according to both methods, preferred the different kind of exercises (p < 0.05). When the mutual consistency of the BWP and BMI methods was compared, “average” level conformity was found in female, and “weak” level conformity was found in male (Female: ? = 0.48; p < 0.000; Male: ? = 0.21; p < 0.001). Conclusion: It could be said that the type and application protocol of the exercise has been related with the frequency and duration of the exercise for both of the methods. Besides, it could be said that there was a higher consistency among female participants at the level of participating to the exercise and they had similar exercise preference, frequency and durationÖğe Do the body weight perception and body mass index affect the participation of exercise?(Sciendo, 2021) Can, Sema; Demirkan, Erkan; Çeviker, AbdulkerimStudy aim: In this study, it is aimed to find out the exercise preferences based on the Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Weight Perception (BWP), and to determine the consistency between BMI and BWP calculated via the self-reporting method.

Methods Sixty-four women aged 35–45 years (age = 38.8 ± 3.0 years) were divided into three groups: Aerobic training, Combined training and the control group and women exercised during eight weeks. The subjects’ body composition was measured with anthropometric tape and skinfold caliper and also body fat percentage, fat mass and lean body mass were estimated using BIA. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein and also Beck Depression Inventory scores were registered at before and after eight weeks training. Results Aerobic training and combined training showed significant differences in fat percentage (?2.6%?, ?4.2%?, and 0.2%?, P = 0.044 respectively) and fat mass (?5.5%?, ?5.7%?, and 1.1%?, P = 0.034 respectively) compared to the control group. Considering the waist circumference, there was a significant difference only between the combined training and control group (?1.3%?, ?2.6%?, and 0.5%?, P = 0.048 respectively). Aerobic training and combined training groups showed significant differences in total cholesterol (?7.9%?, ?9.7%?, and 0.9%?, P = 0.022 respectively), triglyceride (?5.8%?, ?6.9%?, and 2.0%?, respectively, P = 0.012), atherogenic index (?13.5%?, ?16.0%?, and 2.3%?, P = 0.000 respectively) and Beck Depression Inventory score (?26.2%?, ?24.7%?, and 8.7%?, P = 0.047 respectively) compared to the control group. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that both training methods could be used for loosing body weight, fat mass and fat percentage for middle-aged women. Although the combined training seems a little more efficient, aerobic training is also practically easier in order to control and maintain in a large scale training groups.Öğe Fifty-meter swimming performance in young swimmers: the effect of anthropometric and motoric values on performance(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2019) Demirkan, Erkan; Can, Sema; Özkadı, Tuğrul; Alagöz, İsmetBACKGROUND: Sports performance may be affected by many factors, such as physical abilities and physiological efficiency, technical skills, tactical strategy, and most importantly mental preparing. The main aim of this study presents that used a regression modeling approach to identify the affecting components, including anthropometric structure and some performance variables associated with 50-m swim performance in children. METHODS: In this study, a total of 22 voluntary athletes (male: N.=10; female: N.=12) participated that the age ranging from 11-13 years (female: 12.1±0.9 years; male: 11.9±0.7 years). RESULTS: There is no statistical differences in age, height, body mass and training experiences among groups that participated in this study (P>0.05). In breaststroke, the best time was correlated with aerobic endurance, height, arm length, flexibility, biceps circumference, hand length, upper body length; in butterfly style, it was correlated with aerobic endurance, standing horizontal jump (SHJ), height, and arm length; in freestyle, it was correlated with aerobic endurance and flexibility. In backstroke, it was correlated with aerobic endurance, SHJ. Multiple linear regressions showed that the effective variables on swimming scores are shown respectively; in butterfly style, aerobic endurance, arm length, and upper body length; in freestyle, SHJ, foot dorsiflexion, and aerobic endurance; in breaststroke, aerobic endurance, foot length. In backstroke, leg flexion. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that the importance of considering anthropometric characteristics and aerobic endurance in of young swimmers.Öğe Güncel bakış açısı ile fiziksel aktivite(2014) Can, Sema; Arslan, Erşan; Ersöz, GülfemTeknolojik ilerlemeler, iş yaşamı ve kentleşme sonucu azalan fiziksel aktivite insan sağlığı üzerinde olumsuz rol oynamakta, düzenli olarak yapılan fiziksel aktivite (FA) ise; obezite, kardio-vasküler hastalıklar, Tip 2 diyabet ve kanser gibi hastalıklar ile meydana gelen mortalite riskini azaltarak, yaşam kalitesinde artış sağlamaktadır. 2012 yılı Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (World Health Organization-WHO) verilerine göre ülkemizde hastalıklara bağlı ölüm oranları kardiovasküler hastalıklarda %48, kanserde %21, Tip 2 diyabette %3.5 olarak belirlenmiş olup, düzenli FA ve hareketli yaşam ile önlenebilecek hastalık yüzdeleri koroner kalp hastalıklarında %9.3, meme kanserinde %16.3, kolon kanserinde %16.6, Tip 2 diyabette %11.5 olarak öngörülmektedir. Bununla birlikte uzun süreli yapılan çalışmalarda düzenli FA'nın kan basıncını düşürdüğü, insülin duyarlılığını artırdığı, kan lipid profilinde iyileşmeye neden olduğu, depresyon ve anksiyeteyi de azalttığı belirtilmektedir. Bu göstergeler ışığında Amerikan Spor Hekimliği Koleji (American College of Sports Medicine-ACSM) ve Hastalıkları Kontrol ve Önleme Merkezi (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention-CDC) gibi kuruluşlar egzersizlerin tipi, şiddeti, süresi ve sıklığı göz önüne alınarak bireye özel, aerobik kapasiteyi geliştiren, kas kuvveti ve esnekliği artıran egzersiz reçetelerinin hazırlanması ve bunların düzenli olarak yapılması gerektiğini belirtmektedir. Halk sağlığı programlarında aerobik egzersizlerin genellikle büyük kas gruplarına yönelik ritmik ve dinamik özellikte, maksimal kalp atım hızının %50-80 aralığında, haftada 3-7 gün, ortalama 20-60 dakika/gün süreli yapılması önerilirken; kuvvet egzersizlerinin ise 1 tekrarlı maksimalin %60-80'i ile haftada 2-3 gün, 8-10 hareket çeşidi, 2-3 set ve 8-12 tekrarlı olarak yapılması tavsiye edilmektedir.Öğe Multi-instrument assessment of physical activity in female office workers(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2016) Can, Sema; Gündüz, Nevin; Arslan, Erşan; Biernat, Elzbieta; Ersöz, Gülfem; Kilit, BülentObjectives: The aim of this study was to examine the multi-instrument assessment of physical activity in female office workers. Material and Methods: Fifty healthy women (age (mean ± standard deviation): 34.8±5.9 years, body height: 158±0.4 cm, body weight: 61.8±7.5 kg, body mass index: 24.6±2.7 kg/m2) workers from the same workplace volunteered to participate in the study. Physical activity was measured with the 7-day Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (7-d PAAQ), an objective multi-sensor armband tool, and also a waist-mounted pedometer, which were both worn for 7 days. Results: A significant correlation between step numbers measured by armband and pedometer was observed (r = 0.735), but the step numbers measured by these 2 methods were significantly different (10 941±2236 steps/day and 9170±2377 steps/day, respectively; p < 0.001). There was a weak correlation between the value of 7-d PAAQ total energy expenditure and the value of armband total energy expenditure (r = 0.394, p = 0.005). However, total energy expenditure values measured by armband and 7-d PAAQ were not significantly different (2081±370 kcal/day and 2084±197 kcal/day, respectively; p = 0.96). In addition, physical activity levels (average daily metabolic equivalents (MET)) measured by armband and 7-d PAAQ were not significantly different (1.45±0.12 MET/day and 1.47±0.24 MET/day, respectively; p = 0.44). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the correlation between pedometer and armband measurements was higher than that between armband measurements and 7-d PAAQ self-reports. Our results suggest that none of the assessment methods examined here, 7-d PAAQ, pedometer, or armband, is sufficient when used as a single tool for physical activity level determination. Therefore, multi-instrument assessment methods are preferable.Öğe Physical activity measurement by SWA in employees: Weekdays and weekend(PPHU Projack, 2017) Can, Sema; Karaca, Ayda; Arslan, Erşan; Biernat, ElzbietaIntroduction: The purpose of this study was to identify the levels of physical activity level during the weekdays and weekend both female and male employees. Method: A total of 58 volunteer employees participated in this study of which 20 were male (Mage 32.50 ± 8.82) and 38 were female (Mage 34.24 ± 6.25). Anthropometric measurements were performed after an overnight fast for each participant. After anthropometric measurements, daily physical activity levels were measured continuously with the Sense Wear Armband (BodyMedia, USA) monitor, worn on the dominant arm triceps muscle on free-living individuals for a during of seven days. Whether the number of steps, physical activity level (PAL) and inactivity time change depending on the days of the week and the gender was calculated in repetitive measurements with one-way analysis of variance. For globosity variance validity, Mauchly's test was used. For the variables which cannot be replaced for globosity variance, Greenhouse-Geisser test was used. Results: According to daily step numbers, women are slight active and men are active (9479±3468; 11338±3297 step/day respectively) (p > 0.05). Daily mean PAL is on sedentary/light level both for women and men (1.55±0.19; 1.61±0.28 kcal·kg-1·hr-1 respectively) (p > 0.05). According to days of the week, a statistical difference was found between the daily step numbers in men and women (p < 0.05). While there was a statistically significant difference in PAL averages among women (p < 0.05), there was no statistical difference in men (p > 0.05). While PAL value was the highest in weekdays and lowest on Sunday for both genders, the day with the longest inactivity time was found to be Sunday. Women's daily mean inactivity time was founder to be longer than men (1264±69; 1205±107 min·day-1 respectively) (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Both men and women take more than 10000 steps only in weekdays. PAL of both women and men in weekdays and weekend is at sedentary/light activity level. The most active days for both genders are in weekdays, while Sunday is the least active day. © 2017 Physical Activity Review.Öğe Physiological responses and match characteristics in professional tennis players during a one-hour simulated tennis match(Polish Academy of Science, Committee of Physical Culture, 2016) Kilit, Bülent; Şenel, Ömer; Arslan, Erşan; Can, SemaThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of serve and return game situations on physiological responses and match characteristics in professional male tennis players during one hour-long simulated singles tennis matches. Ten internationally ranked tennis players (age 22.2 ± 2.8 years; body height 180.7 ± 4.4 cm; body mass 75.9 ± 8.9 kg) participated in this study. Their physiological responses were measured using two portable analyzers during indoor hard court matches. Ratings of perceived exertion were also determined at the end of the game. The variables describing the characteristics of the matches determined from video recordings were: (a) duration of rallies; (b) rest time; (c) work-to-rest ratio; (d) effective playing time; and (d) strokes per rally. Significant differences (p<0.05) were found between serving and returning conditions in an hour-long simulated singles tennis match in terms of oxygen uptake, a heart rate, ratings of perceived exertion, pulmonary ventilation, respiration frequency and a respiratory gas exchange ratio. In addition, both the heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion responses were moderately correlated with the duration of rallies and strokes per rally (r = 0.60 to 0.26; p<0.05). Taken together, these results indicate that the serve game situation has a significant effect on the physiological response in an hour-long simulated tennis match between professional male tennis players. These findings might be used for the physiological adaptations required for tennis-specific aerobic endurance. © Editorial Committee of Journal of Human Kinetics 2016.Öğe Sporcu ve sedanter kadınlarda günlük enerji harcaması ve fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin karşılaştırılması(Ankara Üniversitesi, 2016) Arslan, Erşan; Aras, Dicle; Can, SemaBu çalışmanın amacı; sporcu ve sedanter kadınların günlük enerji harcaması ve fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya 3 triatlet, 5 spor kaya tırmanışı sporcusu, 7 masa başı çalışan kadın ve 8 ev hanımı [ortalama yaş 35,30 ± 8,53 yıl; boy uzunluğu 160,57 ± 5,53 cm; vücut ağırlığı 58,23 ± 8,53 kg; beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) 22,62 ± 3,37 kg/m2] olmak üzere toplam 23 kişi gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Beden kütle indeksinin belirlenmesini takiben 2 gün süre ile katılımcıların dominant kollarına takılan metabolik holter ile günlük enerji harcamaları ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ölçülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda ulaşılan parametreler; toplam enerji harcaması, aktif enerji harcaması, toplam, ortalama, zorlu ve çok zorlu fiziksel aktivite süreleri, ortalama MET, sedanter yaşam süresi, yatma süresi, uyku süresi ve toplam adım sayısıdır. Bulgular incelendiğinde fiziksel olarak aktif olan gruplarda (triatlet ve tırmanıcı); enerji harcaması değerlerinin ve fiziksel aktivite sürelerinin fazla, sedanter yaşam sürelerinin ise kısa olduğu görülmektedir. Bununla birlikte dört grup arasında zorlu (6-9 MET), çok zorlu (9 MET üzeri) fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ile yatma ve uyku süreleri arasında fark bulunmamıştır. Ayrıca bazı enerji harcaması ve süresi parametreleriyle BKİ, yaş, vücut ağırlığı ve boy uzunluğu gibi tanımlayıcı parametreler arasında ilişki bulunmuştur. Buna göre; günlük enerji harcaması ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyi arasında güçlü bir korelasyon olduğu ve egzersizin sağlığa olumlu katkıları düşünüldüğünde, çalışan kadınların ve ev hanımlarının düzenli fiziksel aktiviteyi günlük yaşantılarına katmaları gerektiği sonuçlarına ulaşılmaktadırÖğe The comparison of reaction time of male tennis players, table tennis players and the ones who don’t exercise at all in 10 to 12 age groups(Niğde University, 2014) Can, Sema; Kilit, Bülent; Arslan, Erşan; Suveren, SalihBu çalışma, 10-12 yaş grubu erkek tenis, masa tenisi sporcusu ve spor yapmayan bireylerin reaksiyon zamanlarının karşılaştırılması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya ortalama yaşı 11,99±0,81 yıl, ortalama boy uzunluğu 150,76±7,73 cm, ortalama vücut ağırlığı 42,20±8,35 kg, antrenman yaşı 3,7±1,2 yıl olan 17 tenis oyuncusu, 18 masa tenisi oyuncusu ve 16 spor yapmayan birey olmak üzere toplam 51 sağlıklı birey gönüllü katılmıştır. Katılımcılar testler hakkında bilgilendirilmiş ve boy, vücut ağırlığı ölçümü sonrasında görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanları Power 2000 New Test/Finland ölçüm aracı ile ölçülmüştür. Gruplar arasında ortalama reaksiyon zamanı değerlerindeki farkın belirlenmesi için SPSS 15,0 paket programında p<0,05 istatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyinde Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi (ANOVA) testi, gruplar arasında fark çıkması durumunda ise çoklu karşılaştırma (Scheffe Post Hoc) testi kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, masa tenisi sporcularının ortalama reaksiyon zamanı değerleri ile tenis sporcularının ve spor yapmayan bireylerin reaksiyon zamanı değerleri arasında anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur (p<0,05).Öğe The Effect of Exercise on Serum Homocysteine, Adma, Neopterin and Oxidative Stress Levels in Young Male Athletes(Int Journal Applied Exercise Physiology, 2018) Can, Sema; Demirkan, Erkan; Avcı, EmreElevated homocysteine (HCY), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), Neopterin (NP) and oxidative stress have been established as risk factors for vascular disease and coronary artery disease. The purpose of the study was (a) to assess the HCY, ADMA, NP, malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels and (b) to determine the relationship between these parameters in wrestlers, track and field athletes, and non-athletes. 35 subjects in total, comprising of 15 wrestlers ((x) over bar = 17.6 +/- 2.3 years), 10 track and field athletes ((x) over bar = 16.6 +/- 2.2 years) and 10 non-athletes((x) over bar = 17.2 +/- 0.8 years) voluntarily participated in the study. The HCY, ADMA, NP, MDA, GSH levels as in subjects' blood was performed through the antecubital vein in the morning while in the pre-prandial state. There was a significant difference in ADMA, MDA, GSH concentrations between in track and field athletes and wrestlers. There was a significant difference in HCY, NP concentrations between wrestlers and non-athletes. There was a significant difference in HCY, MDA concentrations between track and field athletes and non-athletes (p< 0.05). The HCY and NP showed high level correlation in all groups (track and field athletes; r = .952; wrestlers; r = .886; non-athletes; r = .900; p< 0.01). The GSH and NP showed high level negative correlation in non-athletes (r = - .900; p< 0.01). According to the results of HCY, ADMA, NP, MDA, the lowest level was found in athletes and the highest appeared in the non-athletes. In conclusion, we think that regular training may have positive effects on cardiovascular and anti antioxidant level.Öğe The effects of exercise preferences on body fat and body mass index by self-report(Horizon Research Publishing, 2019) Can, Sema; Demirkan, Erkan; Ercan, SerkanBody fat (BF) and body mass index (BMI) that including physical fitness with health is important to protect and improve to the health. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of exercise preferences on BMI, body fat according to by self-report. A total of 442 volunteers, including 180 female and 262 male participated in the study. Body weight, height, BF and exercise preferences of participants who were members of the physical activity center were obtained according to their self-reports. Body fat analysis was determined by the BIA method (Tanita SC 330). In the analysis of the data, in addition to frequency and percentage values, independent t-test was used to compare between the genders and paired t-test was used for pre and post study in genders. Aerobic exercises affected in male body weight, BMI and BF (p<0.05), in strength exercises only BF affected (p<0.05), in combined exercises it was found that both genders significantly affected on all variables (p<0.05). As a conclusion, combine exercises in both of gender, compared with only aerobic and strength, was found that have a more positive effect on body mass index and body fat. © 2019 by authors, all rights reserved.Öğe The surveillance and assessment of acute injuries in different age categories in national wrestling championships(Elsevier, 2024) Can, Sema; Demirkan, Erkan; Arıcı, Mustafa; Tosun, Mehmet İsmail; Cicioğlu, Halil İbrahimPurpose: The purpose of this study is to surveil the injuries in wrestling according to the different age categories and wrestling styles throughout the competition season. Methods: The study was designed as a descriptive study. The study was conducted during the wrestling competition season in 2023 (from January 2023 to July 2023), which includes 5 different age categories: U-15, U-17, U-20, U-23, and seniors, along with the Turkey National Wrestling Championships. The data of injuries was recorded immediately after the acute injury was treated by the medical expert during the competitions and evaluated according to the parameters that were obtained. In the statistical analysis, the frequency and percentage values were presented as descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test was used. Results: The study incorporated a total of 6214 wrestlers and a total of 7151 wrestling bouts were performed during these competitions. The analyses indicated that the rate of injury incidence was 42.65‰ in all wrestling styles. When taking account of the injured body parts in all wrestlers’ exposures, the occurrence of injuries to the head-face, neck, trunk, upper extremity, and lower extremity, rates of 17.6‰, 1.3‰, 3.6‰, 13.5‰, and 6.6‰, respectively, were observed. According to the pre-diagnosis based on freestyle, Greco-Roman, and female wrestling styles, injuries with bleeding (39.6%, 46.3%, and 14.6%, respectively) and muscle strain (37.9%, 28.7 %, and 52.6%, respectively) most often occurred. Conclusion: The study findings indicate that most cases of injury appeared to occur in bleeding and muscle strain in all wrestling styles. We suggest that medical experts should set up their health equipment with consideration to the injuries that occur most frequently.Öğe Validation of the ActiGraph wGT3X-BT Accelerometer for Step Counts at Five Different Body Locations in Laboratory Settings(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Karaca, Ayda; Demirci, Necip; Yılmaz, Vedat; Hazır Aytar, Sinem; Can, Sema; Ünver, EvrimThis study aimed to determine the validity of the ActiGraph wGT3X-BT for step counts (SC) at five different body locations in laboratory settings. A total of 29 male adults participated in this study. The participants walked or ran for different speeds on the treadmill while wearing ActiGraph wGT3X-BT on their right wrist (RW), left wrist (LW), waist, right ankle (RA), and right upper arm (RUA). Both the video camera and each ActiGraph recorded SC simultaneously. The waist, RUA (6, 8, 10 km/hr and total), and RA (4 and 6 km/hr) showed small Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) values (<5%) and good agreement with Bland-Altman plots. However, the waist (2 and 4 km/hr), RUA (2 and 4 km/hr), RA (2, 8, 10 km/hr and total), RW, and LW showed high MAPE. In conclusion, the waist and RUA are valid for the total SC during walking and running in the laboratory setting.
