    Does Tennis Training Improve Attention? New Approach
    (MDPI, 2023) Ünver, Şaban; İslamoğlu, İzzet; Atan, Tülin; Yılmaz, Metin; Arslan, Hayati; Kaplan, Abdurrahim; Şimşek, Emre
    This study aimed to examine the effect of a tennis training program on improving attention. Methods: A total of 40 tennis players from a Tennis Club, 20 in the experimental group (EG) and 20 in the control group (CG), participated in the study. The EG athletes received 40 serve balls from the trainer twice a week for nine weeks. The researcher applied the “d2 attention test” to the EG and CG before and after the nine-week period. Results: After comparing the pretest and posttest attention averages of the experimental group, there was a significant difference in the TN, TN-E, and CP mean scores (p < 0.001). In the comparison of the pretest and posttest attention averages of the CG, there was no significant difference in the TN, TN-E, and CP mean scores (p > 0.05). The comparison of the pretest attention averages of the EG and CG revealed no significant difference in the TN, TN-E, and CP mean scores (p > 0.05). The comparison of the posttest attention averages of the EG and CG revealed a significant difference in the mean scores of TN, TN-E, and CP (p < 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the posttest–pretest differences in the TN, TN-E, and CP values of the EG and CG (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The study concluded that tennis training aimed at developing attention improved the results in the attention test.

    Dominant and non-dominant arm bone mineral density of racquet athletes
    (Imr Press, 2021) Ünver, Şaban; Atan, TÜlin; Canbaz Tosun, Fevziye; İslamoğlu, İzzet; Kaplan, Abdurrahim
    Background and Purpose: The upper extremities, especially the arms and shoulders, are used intensively in racquet sports. In this work, our primary aim is to compare bone mineral densities (BMDs) between dominant and non-dominant arms in racquet athletes. We then compare BMDs between athletes playing racquet sports and non-athletes. Methods: A total of 24 racquet sports male athletes active for at least 10 years (age, 22.46 +/- 2.41 years) and 22 non-athletes (age, 21.45 +/- 1.74 years) voluntarily participated in this study. The BMDs of the humerus, radius, and ulna of the dominant and non-dominant arms of both groups were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: The BMDs of the proximal humerus and humeral shaft of dominant arms were significantly higher than those of non-dominant arms in athletes (19.85% vs. 12.02%); while statistically, no statistically significant difference in BMDs was found in nonathletes (P > 0.05). The BMDs of the dominant proximal humerus and humeral shaft of athletes were higher than those of non-athletes (P < 0.05). Non-dominant arm BMDs did not differ between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: BMD differences observed between the right and left arms of athletes indicate that, rather than confounding factors like genotype, right-/left-handedness, participation in racquet sports may influence BMDs in the related extremities.

    HOW EFFECTIVE ARE PARENTS' PROFESSIONAL GOALS ON INDIVIDUALS?
    (OZSUM ACADEMIC PUBLISHING, 2023) Tosun, Mehmet İsmail; Arıcı, Mustafa; Kaplan, Abdurrahim; Deryahanoğlu, Gamze
    Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine if the role of parents has an impact on the preferences of individuals who prefer sports science faculties. Method: 465 (124 female, 341 male) student candidates who took the Hitit University Faculty of Sports Sciences Special Talent Exam in 2022 participated in the study. The student candidates who will participate in the study answered the questionnaire after completing the voluntary consent form. The Individual-Parent Career Inconsistency Scale and a questionnaire with demographic information were applied to the participants. The SPSS 22 program was used for statistical analysis of the data obtained from our study. The normal distribution of the obtained data was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and it was found that they did not have a normal distribution. Descriptive analyzes were performed for the demographic characteristics of the participants. The chisquare test was used to test the significant relationship between the demographic variables, the Mann-Whitney U test was used for survey questions with two different variables, and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for survey questions with more than two variables. Findings: There was no significant difference in the statistical values of the responses given by the participants on the scale for the inconsistency of the parents' individual careers (p > 0.05) in terms of gender, whether there is an athlete in the family, playing active sports, being placed by an exam, and taking a special talent exam at another university (p > 0.05). However, there seems to be a significant difference in the situation of the participants who took a special talent exam at another university, in their preference for sports science, and in their plans for after graduation. (p > 0.05). Conclusion: From the findings we have obtained from the study, it can be concluded that the role of parents is not crucial in the career preferences of individuals who prefer sports science faculties for their educational life. This is because the decline in employment of sport science graduates in recent years, the perception that sport science graduates can only become physical education teachers, and parents' lack of knowledge about other career options are considered to be effective.
