This study aimed to examine the effect of secondary school students' participation in regular and moderate intensity tennis exercises on stress levels during the pandemic period. The research was carried out with an experimental method and sequential design. The study sample, 46 volunteer students, was divided into two groups as experimental and control groups. ‘Personal Information Form’ and ‘Stress Scale’ were administered to the students in both groups as a pretest and 12 weeks later as a post-test. As a result of the normality tests (Skewness and Kurtosis), it was determined that the data met normal distribution assumption; thus, the Independent Sample T-Test and Paired Samples T-Test were applied. The significance level was accepted as p< 0.05. According to the study’s findings, there was a statistically significant difference in the experimental group’s stress levels between the pretest (39.30 ± 10) and post-test (32.00 ± 6). At the same time, there was no statistically significant difference between the control group’s pre-test (35.52 ± 9) and post-test (35.82 ±9). Consequently, this study reveals that participation in 12 weeks of regular tennis exercise significantly reduces the stress level of secondary school students. Research reveals the importance of participation in physical activities in reducing stress. In this context, participation in tennis exercise seems to be an important way to protect and improve the mental health of mentally disadvantaged adolescents, especially during the pandemic period.","PeriodicalId":43206,"journal":{"name":"Kinesiologia Slovenica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47584118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using logistic regression, we found that user age and experience with the receptor did not influence the decision to retain and repurchase. We found that we can influence a user's intention to repurchase if we call them less than 30 days after the membership expires. After 30 days, there is a good chance that the user has already purchased a ticket at another sports centre and will not return it. Users who were called and confirmed over the phone that they would come back and purchase the ticket again did so.

The research group consists of 30 male football players (age = 15.86 ± 0.69). The participants were divided into 2 groups as proprioceptive training group (PTG) and control group, each consisting of 15 football players. The body height and body weight of the participants were measured. Hand-eye coordination, vertical jump, sprint, agility, and core endurance tests, which are defined as high-intensity actions, were applied to the participants. Dynamic balance performances of the participants were also determined. Passing, ball control and dribbling were measured by international tests to determine the participants' football-specific skills. No significant differences were found between the groups in the comparison of PTG and CG in terms of high-intensity actions (p>0.05). There was also no significant difference in the comparison of the dynamic balance performance of both dominant and non-dominant feet (p>0.05). Significant differences were determined in favor of the PTG group in the variables of football-specific skills such as pass shot rate and the number of ball control (p0.05).

The structural equation method surveyed the effect of variables and the PLS Smart Partial Least Squares Approach analyzed the patterns. The Hayes process examined the moderating effect of customer complaints reduction. Findings showed that CRM leads to increased loyalty, satisfaction, and competitive advantage. Also, reducing customer complaints (R2 = 0.81) moderated the impact of CRM success on customer loyalty. Therefore, making proper relationships with customers, satisfying them, and increasing the level of service facilities are the most important determinants of loyalty in sports venues. The reduction of customers' complaints can lead to increased loyalty and subsequently lower marketing expenses.","PeriodicalId":43206,"journal":{"name":"Kinesiologia Slovenica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43939525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty-five dance couples competing in an international competition in the adult category were selected for analysis. The total time and average speed in each direction of movement and the number of changes of direction were compared between four different quality groups. The average speed of the movement and choreography path was 1.14 ± 5.1 m/s and 77.56 ± 11.1 m, respectively. Dancers mostly danced in line of dance (LOD) (M = 10.74 ± 5.2 s), diagonal to the center (DC) (M = 9.96 ± 4.5 s), and diagonal to the wall (DW) (M = 8 ± 3.1s). Although no significant differences were found, the time spent dancing in LOD decreased with the more successful quality group. Significant differences between the quality groups were found in the speed of movement in LOD direction (χ2 = 9.4, df = 3, p = 0.024), which decreased with the more successful quality group. Dancers made an average of 26.31 ± 3.4 changes in direction. Statistical differences were found between the quality groups (χ2 = 7.7, df = 3, p = 0.04). This is the first detailed study in tango analyzing the characteristics of movement and choreography. The quality groups differ in the speed of movement in some directions of movement and in the number of changes of direction.
