The aim of this study was to examine the effects of individually designed insole in pes planus treatment. Designed insoles was adjusted according to height, length and function of the sole of each participant with pes planus in order to improve the physical parameters of them. A total of 34 participants (17 males and 17 females) with pes planus participated in the study. Height, weight, percent body fat, 30-m sprint test, vertical jump, 12-min Cooper test and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measurement were obtained before the study and after 1 year later. Wilcoxon signed rank test was conducted to examine whether there were any differences between the pre- and post-test measurements. It was determined that individually designed insoles reduced body weight and BMI, made positive improvements in 30-m speed, vertical jump and 12-min Cooper scores, and significant decrease in VAS scores. In conclusion, it is seen that individually designed insoles have beneficial role in normalizing forces acting on the foot and improve the physical performance parameters of individuals with pes planus. Future studies are needed to explore the long-term effects of individually designed insoles and prefabricated insoles.
Purpose:The aim of this study is to obtain a diagnostic tool that can be used to determine the contribution of sports to life skills by adapting the "Life Skills Scale for Sport" developed by Cronin and Allen (2017) into the Turkish culture. Design & Methodology:For this purpose, the scale items were translated into Turkish and then translated into English back. Subsequently, the consistency between back translation and the original version was evaluated. When it was found that there was not any semantic loss, the original scale consisting of 43 items and 8 sub-dimensions was applied to 482 athletes who perform regular exercise. Internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's α) and Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed to test the construct validity and reliability.Findings: As a result of the analyses, a difference was observed in the factor distributions of the adapted questionnaire items, compared to the original version of the questionnaire. The findings that were obtained from the EFA show that the adapted questionnaire consists of seven factors and 31 items has an acceptable factor structure. In the scope of the reliability study, internal consistency coefficient was calculated as .92. Pearson Moments Correlation Coefficient (r=.82) calculated for test-retest reliability study was found to be high and significant, too. Implications & Suggestions:As a result, the adapted questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for the Turkish culture.
We aimed to detect the differences in emotional intelligence in young people according to some sociodemographic variables. A total of 170 people who were sitting a special-ability examination in order to gain a place in the physical education and sports teaching department at a university formed the sample. We found that there were statistically significant differences in emotional intelligence levels according to the variables of age, hometown, participation in social and sports activities, self-description, and description of family, as well as in the behaviors of the families towards the adolescent. There were no significant differences according to gender, alma mater, or the income level of the family.
Bu çalışma üniversitede eğitim öğrenim gören sporcu öğrencilerin ele alınan bazı değişkenlere göre psikolojik dayanıklılık düzeylerinin nasıl şekillendiğini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesinde 220 öğrenci üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Verilerin toplanmasında kişisel bilgi formu ve Yetişkinler için Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Ölçeği'nin kısa formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma grubunun cinsiyet değişkenine göre psikolojik dayanıklılık düzeylerinde erkekler lehine fark olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yaş değişkenine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma sonucunda; psikolojik dayanıklılık düzeylerinin cinsiyete göre farklılık gösterdiği ve erkeklerin psikolojik dayanıklılık düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Yaş değişkeninin psikolojik dayanıklılık düzeyini belirlemede etkili olduğu ve 18-21 yaş grubundakilerin aldığı puan ortalamalarının daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca gelir durumu yüksek olan öğrencilerin psikolojik dayanıklılık düzeylerinin de yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur.
