Neuromuscular and joint deep sensation adaptations have been linked to functional alterations and skill acquisition after body vibration training via muscular recruitment, coordination of motor units, and enhanced neural activation. The aim of the current study is to explore the effect of upper body vibration on shoulder joint active position sense in healthy female university students. Material and Methods. Sixty healthy female university students were distributed into two equal groups; 30 subjects in the control group (mean age 21 ± 2.2) and 30 subjects in the experimental group (mean age 20.9 ± 2.3). The shoulder joint active position sense was evaluated using Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer Multi-Joint System 4 pro. In addition, the Power Plate ® Whole Body Vibration device was used as an intervention method from the push-up position. Results. After three vibration exposures of 60 seconds for each, the MANOVA test showed statistically significant differences in the average error scores of active joint position senses of shoulder external rotation only in the pre-post-test of the experimental group (p= .000). Moreover, the statistically significant difference was detected in the average error scores of shoulders external rotation in post-treatment intervention between both groups (p= .000). Conclusions. These results suggested that short-term vibration training may reveal an improvement in shoulder joint active position sense, particularly the shoulder external rotation. The use of vibration training to improve shoulder awareness and reduce the risk of injury when the shoulder externally rotates during different functions may therefore be advocated to physiotherapists.","PeriodicalId":51897,"journal":{"name":"Physical Education of Students","volume":"71 3-4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136105327","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}

This study aimed to investigate the impact of moral decision-making attitudes among athletes in various sports on their psychological well-being. Material and Methods. A total of 345 active, licensed athletes (also students) participated in this study, with a mean age of 19.62 years (215 females and 130 males). The sports represented included athletics, badminton, basketball, boxing, fencing, football, wrestling, handball, hockey, judo, kickboxing, table tennis, taekwondo, wheelchair basketball, volleyball, and swimming. In addition to descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses were conducted within the framework of a relational model. Results. The study revealed significant relationships between different sub-dimensions of the moral decision-making attitude scale and psychological well-being. Specifically, a significant negative relationship (r = -0.162, p < 0.001) was observed between adopting cheating, a sub-dimension of the moral decision-making attitude scale, and psychological well-being. Conversely, a significant positive relationship (r = 0.158, p < 0.001) was found between protecting fair competition, another sub-dimension of the moral decision-making attitude scale, and psychological well-being. It was determined that adopting cheating had a significantly negative effect on psychological well-being (β = -0.188, p < 0.001), while protecting fair competition had a positive effect (β = 0.183, p < 0.001). Conclusions. This study suggests that athletes experience a negative impact on their psychological well-being when they engage in cheating as part of their moral decision-making attitudes. Conversely, their psychological well-being benefits from their commitment to fair competition. It can be argued that athletes' moral responsibilities contribute to their psychological resilience and well-being.","PeriodicalId":51897,"journal":{"name":"Physical Education of Students","volume":"97 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136019747","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}

Physical inactivity is a major public health concern, particularly among female college students in Saudi Arabia. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) suggests that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control (PBC) are important predictors of behavioral intentions and behaviors. The aim of this study was to examine the role of attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control in predicting physical activity intentions among female university students in Saudi Arabia, using the theory of planned behavior as a framework. Material and Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 758 female college students from the University of Hafr Al Batin in Saudi Arabia. The measurement tool consisted of Godin-Shephard questions on leisure-time physical activity and theory-planned behavior questionnaires. Results. The study found that perceived behavioral control and attitude were significant predictors of physical activity intentions among female college students. However, subjective norms did not have a significant impact on the predictor variable. Furthermore, there was a statistical effect to predict involvement in physical activity from physical activity intention among female college students.. Conclusions. The study's findings suggest that the theory of planned behavior is a useful framework for understanding and interpreting physical activity intentions among female college students in Saudi Arabia. Interventions that aim to increase perceived behavioral control and positive attitudes towards physical activity may be effective in promoting physical activity among this population.","PeriodicalId":51897,"journal":{"name":"Physical Education of Students","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136022615","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}

The aim of this study was to examine the acute responses to repeated sprints on a non-motorized treadmill on dominant leg (DL) and non-dominant leg (NDL) sprint parameters. Material and Methods. Volunteered students from Sports Sciences Faculty were randomly divided into experimental group (EG) and control group (CG). As pre- and post-tests, each participant performed 30m sprint test on a non-motorized treadmill. There were 6x20m with 1min on a non-motorized treadmill as repetitive sprints. As a statistical analysis, whether there is pre-test and post-test differences were analysed with independent t test between the groups and paired t test within the groups. The level of significance was taken as p≤0.05. Results. In comparisons within the groups, both groups had significant pre- and post-test differences in parameters of time (t), velocity (V), and power (P) [for EG, p<0.001, p<0.001, and p<0.001; for CG, p<0.001, p<0.001, and p<0.01, respectively]. CG had significant pre- and post-test differences in parameters of stride length (SL) and horizontal force (HF) (p<0.05). There were no statistically significant pre-test differences in 30m sprint parameters of NDL and DL. In post-tests, there were only significant differences in SLDL, HFDL, PNDL, and PDL (p<0.05, p<0.05, p<0.05, and p<0.01, respectively). CG had only significant pre- and post-test differences in SLNDL and SLDL within the group’s comparisons (p<0.05). Either EG or CG had significant pre- and post-test differences in PDL (p<0.05).

Many findings have demonstrated that several life-threatening diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, obesity-related diseases, and certain types of malignancies, can be prevented by exercise. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be the direct or associated factor that causes or prevents these diseases. It is well known that a strenuous and high-intensity acute exercise increases ROS production and intensifies oxidative stress. At this point, the importance of physical activity (PA) and exercise in reducing oxidants and improving antioxidant defense system increasing. The purposes of the current study were to investigate the short term (acute) and long term (chronic) effects of active video gaming (AVG) on oxidative stress indices. Material and Methods. Nine healthy male university students participated in the study. The participants played an AVG as vigorous physical activity (MET > 7) for 20 minutes, three days a week, for 4 weeks. Each participant completed twelve game sessions. Blood samples were obtained just before (after 10 min rest in seated position) and immediately after the game session on the first and the last day of the study. Total oxidant and antioxidant status (TOS and TAS) were determined using an automated measurement method, and the oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated. Total oxidized guanine (TOG) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were analyzed using commercial kits (Cayman Chemical). Data were analyzed with dependent t-tests and significance was accepted as p<0.05. Results. The SOD activity significantly decreased after the AVG on the first day (4.78 ± 1.26 vs. 3.81 ± 1.80; p=0.026). The TOS (6.62 ± 1.09 vs. 7.30 ± 1.24) and TOG (9.26 ± 2.69 vs. 9.78 ± 2.62) levels increased on the first day, but these alterations were not significant.

The purpose of the present study is to determine the effect of player load on the anaerobic performance of soccer players.\u0000Material and Method. Eighty Turkish Super League U21 players (age:19.56±1.3 years, height: 180.3±2.1cm, weight: 75.9±3.7kg) were involved in this study. The players completed eight different 11v11 training games. While one team practiced the ball possession and “defense as a team” strategy, the other team implemented the counterattacking strategy. The formation was kept as “4-4-2”. The games were played as 2x20-min training matches. Maximum heart rate, player load, ratings of perceived exertion, high running speed, and sprint performances were analyzed. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used in determining the level of correlation between quantitative variables. Linear regression analyses were carried out to examine the effect of player load on anaerobic performance components in different strategies and positions.\u0000Results. Compared to tactical strategy, player load values were found to be different from all positions (P<0.05).

Understanding and assessing functional asymmetry among athletes is pivotal, as it has the potential to reveal hidden strengths and weaknesses that can profoundly influence competitive performance. Study Aim: to perform a comparative analysis of functional asymmetry indicators among athletes in cyclic sports (short track), martial arts (karate, taekwondo), and esports (CS:GO).\u0000Material and Methods. The study involved athletes of martial arts (n=10, age 18.9±0.12, experienced athletes), elite players of semi-professional CS:GO teams (n=10, age 19.2±0.50), and short track athletes (n=10, age 19±0.09, experienced athletes).

They also exhibit shorter reaction times and have briefer tap durations using both their right and left hands, in comparison to athletes specializing in other disciplines. Across all three specializations, athletes display minimal disparities between their right and left hands regarding tap count, reaction time, and tap duration at each of the six test stages. The variance in tap count ranges from 0 to 1.40 times, while reaction time differs by 0 to 2.33 milliseconds, and tap duration varies between 1.53 to 8.69 milliseconds.\u0000Conclusions. The exploration of motor functional asymmetry holds significant importance in analyzing the motor skills and perceptual-motor capabilities of athletes across diverse sports and proficiency levels. A comparison of functional asymmetry metrics among athletes from three distinct specializations affirmed the similarity in outcomes across all measures. This suggests that elite athletes possess a heightened level of movement coordination and symmetry in their execution between their right and left hands.

In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between physical activity level and meaning of life in university students and to reveal possible differences according to demographic characteristics. Material and Methods. A total of 376 students studying in different departments (Coaching, Physical Education Teaching, Physical Education and Sports Master's Degree, Occupational Health and Safety, Private Security and Protection, Software Engineering) voluntarily participated in the study. The data of the study were collected online using the \"Personal Information Form\", \"International Physical Activity Questionnaire\" and \"Meaning in Life Questionnaire\" prepared by the researcher and Google Forms. SPSS 26 package program was used for data analysis. Results. The findings obtained from the data analysis revealed a significant difference in the physical activity levels among the students based on variables such as gender, age, and the department of study. However, no significant difference was found according to other demographic variables (income status, BMI). A significant difference was also found between the sub-dimensions of the search for meaning according to gender, income status, the department they study at and BMI. Based on the correlation analysis between physical activity and the sub-dimensions of the meaning of life, specifically the search for meaning and the presence of meaning, a statistically significant but weak relationship was found between physical activity and the search for meaning. The significant difference between the groups in the meaning seeking sub-dimension was found to be due to inactive students. Conclusions. As a result, it can be concluded that students who engage in less physical activity show a lower inclination towards the search for meaning. In other words, an increase in physical activity can be interpreted as corresponding to an increase in the search for meaning. It can be suggested that both the school and the family should support young people in finding meaning in their lives and increasing their physical activity levels in gaining healthy behavioral habits.","PeriodicalId":51897,"journal":{"name":"Physical Education of Students","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136119374","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}
