    Effects of physical activity and body mass index on sleep quality and depression among Turkish adults
    (BMC, 2025) Çiçek, G; Işık, O; Ayhan, C; Turgut, A; Deryahanoğlu, G
    Background Nowadays, Physical Activity (PA) and Body Mass Index (BMI) have a significant impact on the general health status of adults. Inadequate PA and the imbalance of body weight may lead to the deterioration of sleep quality and an increase in the risk of depression. A sedentary lifestyle and obesity can adversely affect the quality of life of adults by triggering psychological and physiological health problems. In this context, this study aimed to investigate the effects of PA and BMI on sleep quality and depression among Turkish adults. Methods In this study, the relational screening model was used. In the study, the purposive sampling method was used, and 1191 adults (Male: 864; Female: 327) aged 18-65 years using park and recreation areas (M-Age= 36.35 +/- 2.52) voluntarily participated. In addition to the personal information form, participants answered the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, International PA Questionnaire Short-Form, and Beck Depression Inventory. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 23.0 software. Independent samples t-tests were performed to examine the gender-based differences in sleep quality and depression levels. Additionally, Univariate analyses were conducted to examine the differences in sleep quality and depression levels based on participants' PA levels and BMI. The significance level was set at p < .05. Results Statistically significant differences were found in adults' sleep quality based on their PA levels and BMIs (p < .05). Additionally, statistically significant differences were found in adults' depression levels based on their PA levels and BMIs (p < .05). Conclusion Although increasing the PA level has a decreasing effect on depression levels, a normal BMI ensures that depression levels are at the lowest level. In addition, a significant decrease in sleep quality was observed as BMI increased. It can be said that as PA levels increase, sleep quality increases significantly in each BMI category.

    Investigation of Physical and Cognitive Performance of Athletes
    (NECMETTIN ERBAKAN UNIV, 2025) Çeviker, A; Turgut, A; Zambak, Ö; Yanar, MS; Çamiçi, F; Ünlil, Ç; Eroğlu, S
    This study aims to examine the relationship between physical performance levels and cognitive functions of male athletes aged 18-25 years competing in the Turkish Hockey Indoor 1st League. 45 athletes participated in the study, balance, flexibility and vertical jump tests and D2 Attention Test were applied. In addition to descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that attention levels did not differ significantly according to age, education, sport experience and position (p>0.05). While there was no significant relationship between physical performance variables and attention, only vertical jump values showed a significant difference between the positions (p<0.05). In addition, positive and significant correlations were observed between the sub-dimensions of the attention test. In this context, it was concluded that not only physical criteria but also cognitive skills should be systematically included in the performance evaluations of hockey athletes.
