We concluded that although six months training results improvement in P3 latency, vitamin E supplementation does not affect cognitive function evaluated by event-related potentials in older subjects.

The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between children's 50 m freestyle swimming performances and motor performances. There were 32 swimmers (male = 21, female = 11), who had been swimming for at least one and a half year, participated in the study. The motor performances of the participating swimmers were determined through the Dordel Koch Test (DKT) and 50 m swimming performances via the stopwatch. The Spearman Correlation Analysis was used to determine the relationship between children's motor performances and the swimming performances of 50 m. As a result of the statistical analysis, it was determined that the performance categories of DKT sub-dimensions were DKTshuttle, DKTpush-up and DKTbalance performances of the categories in which both girls and boys were the best. It was determined that male swimmers would perform DKT6min running and female swimmers would have a positive effect on the 50 m freestyle swimming performance of DKTsideward jump performances (p <0.01, p <0.05). In addition, it was determined that all the swimmers had a positive effect on the 50 m freestyle swimming performances of the DKT sideward jump, DKT6min running and DKTflexibilty performance (p <0.01, p <0.05). As a result, it can be stated that DKT6min running, which is the demonstration of aerobic performance, increased DKTflexibility and DKTsideward jump performance will contribute to 50m swimming performance.. Moreover, it can be suggested that the performance development of the upper extremity (DKTshuttle and DKTpush-up), which is required for the branch in the performance, is categorized as performance.

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the awareness of children about obesity and their nutritional behaviors. Obesity Awareness Scale (OAS) and the Food Behavior Scale (FBS) were utilized for the data collection in the present study. The subjects were 699 male and female school children. Analyisis showed a significant correlation between the sub-dimensions of OAS and the total scores of FBS (p<0.05). There were significant differences on levels of OAS and FBS depending on educational status (p<0.05). The total score of FBS was also differ significantly between the healthy participants and the overweight ones (p<0.05). The results showed that there is a positive correlation between the nutritional behaviors and obesity awareness; being or not being engaged in sports does not have an effect in the study subject's obesity awareness and nutrition behaviour; the nutritional behaviours and obesity awareness are depending on the educational level of the mother and the father and the subjects who have good nutritional behaviors, also have normal BMI (Body Mass Index).
