ÖZETBu araştırmada, masa başı çalışanlarda fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ile yaşam kaliteleri arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek ve fiziksel aktivitenin yaşam kalitesine etkisi dikkate alındığında, sedanter ortamda çalışanların en uygun düzeyde fiziksel aktiviteye teşvik edilmeleri amaçlanmıştır.Araştırmanın evrenini Ankara ilinde masa başı işlerde çalışan bireyler, örneklemini ise bu evrenden rastgele seçilen 172 kadın ve 141 erkek olmak üzere toplam 313 birey oluşturmuştur. Çalışmada, bireylerin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerini belirlemek için Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi'nin uzun formu, yaşam kalitelerinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla da SF-36 yaşam kalitesi ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Student's T test, Mann Whitney U test, Ki-Kare ve Kruskal Wallis H testi kullanılmıştır.Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre, bireylerin haftalık enerji tüketiminin ortalama 2249.62 ± 2253.91 MET-dk/Hafta olduğu, %25.2'sinin fiziksel olarak aktif olmadığı, %48.9'unun fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin düşük olduğu ve %25.9' unun da fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin sağlığını korumak için yeterli olduğu saptanmıştır. Bireylerin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin erkeklerde kadınlara göre ve BKİ 25 kg/m 2 ve üstü olanların da BKİ 25 kg/m 2 altında olanlara göre daha yeterli olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Bireylerin yaşam kalitesi puanları incelendiğinde ise, fiziksel sağlık skorunun ortalaması 51.28 ± 7.24, mental sağlık skorunun ortalaması ise 41.43 ± 11.40 olduğu bulunmuştur. Yaşam kalitesi puanlarının cinsiyet ve yaş gruplarına göre yapılan değerlendirmesinde fiziksel sağlık ve mental sağlık skorlarında anlamlı bir farkın olduğu, BKİ' ye göre ise mental sağlık skorları arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Bireylerin fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ile yaşam kalitesi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır.Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre bireylerin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin yetersiz olduğu ancak bunun bireylerin yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkisi olmadığı saptanmıştır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Fiziksel aktivite, Yaşam kalitesi, Masa başı çalışanı THE RELATION OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL AND LIFE QUALITY AT SEDENTARY PROFESSION ABSTRACTIn the current study, it was aimed to evaluate the relation of physical activity level and life quality at sedentary profession and to encourage sedentary workers for physical activity at best level regarding the effect of physical activity on life quality.The population of the research consisted of individuals working at a sedentary profession in the city of Ankara and the sampling consisted of a total sum of 313,172 women and 141 men, randomly chosen out of the population.

Lateralization, which is also known as hand preference, and 2D:4D finger ratio is a sign of prenatal testosterone and known to be associated with strength. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between 2D: 4D, lateralization and hand grip strength in relation to hand and forearm that are thought to be effective in handball in elite handball players. 67 female and 67 male elite players participated in this study. The height, weight, body-mass index and hand preference of these athletes have been identified and 2D: 4D finger measurements and hand grip strength tests were performed. When identifying the preferences regarding lateralization, the hand distribution preference was determined by the Oldfield questionnaire and evaluated using the Geschwind score. After photocopy images of the two hands of the athletes were taken, their finger lengths were measured Hand grip strength was determined by a Jamar hydraulic dynamometer. Strong correlation was found especially between 2D: 4D and dominant hand grip strength in male and female elite handball players. The ratio of left-handedness due to the positions of players during the game among male and female athletes has been found to be higher than that of the general population. With regard to gender, 2D: 4D was found to be lower in males than females but hand grip was found to be higher in males than females. Besides, a significant correlation between height and BMI with 2D:4D, sport age, height, body weight and hand grip strength was found. This study emphasizes the importance of 2D: 4D, handgrip strength and hand preference in handball.

The aim of this study is to determine the differences between the somatotype profiles and inter-disciplinary somatotype profiles of the Turkish Bocce National Team players. In this study, the mean age of the Turkish Men's Bocce National Team (n-32) was determined as 21,75±2,35 (years), mean height was 177,62±1,03 (cm), mean body weight was 70,75±0,70 (kg), mean Body Mass Index (BMI) was 22,31±1,06 kg/m 2 , mean body fat percentage was 16,05±1%. The mean age of the Turkish Women's Bocce National Team (n-21) was 21,76±2,12 (years), mean height was 165,33±4,24 (cm), mean body weight 55,14±6,36 (kg), mean BMI was 23,22±1,06 kg/m 2 mean body fat percentage was 16,05±1%. The Heath-Carter method was used in determining the somatotype profiles of the players. the The statistical analyses in the study were made by using the SPSS 20.0 package program. Somatotype profile in men was determined endomorphic 3,21±0,33; mesomorph 5,04±1,11; ectomorphic 2,20±0,18 as mesomorphic-endomorphic; in women, endomorphic 3,33±1,42; mesomorph 5,08±0,26; ectomorphic 2,07±0,09 as mesomorphic-endomorphic. In this study, the somatotype profiles of the Turkish Bocce National Team players were determined, and a statistically significant difference was detected between the volo and petanque-raffa disciplines in men and women (p<0,05). It is believed that this difference stems from the physical performance requiring more muscular force in volo discipline than the petanque and raffa disciplines. In this study, the somatotype components are similar in tennis players in volo men group and the archers, judo players and Water polo players of the other groups (Men-women petanque and raffa group, Women volo group).

The aim of this study is to evaluate physical and physiological characteristics of the Olympic Champion Turkish Deaf Men’s National Handball Team. A total of 20 athletes participated in the study with age average of 27 ± 6.26 years, sports age average of 11.45±5.35 years, average height of 180.3±6.70 cm and an average body weight of 82.49±10.38 kg. In the evaluation of the data SPSS 19.0 program was used, frequency and distribution is observed, average standard deviation, maximum, and minimum values were taken. The average Body Mass Index (BMI) of the athletes were determined as 25.01±1.48 kg/m2, average Baseline Metabolic Rate (BMD) were 8643±924.06 (kJ), average Body Fat Percentage (%) were 12.86± .79%, average Fat Free Weight (FFM) were 71.59±7.37 kg, Visceral Fat Rating was 2.75±1.39, average right-left handgrip strength were 47.5±7.38-46.6±7.14 kg, average double foot jump with fixed-free hand values were 30.1±3.62 - 36.5±4.45 cm, average right-left hand visual reaction rate were 258.9±17.77 - 261.8±23.04 msec, average pro-agility agility test were 5.22±0.18 sec, and the average flexibility were 11.9±5.22 cm. As a result, physical and physiological characteristics of the Olympic Champion Turkish Deaf Men’s National Handball Team is compared to the evaluated literature; While the height, body weight, BMI, reaction speed, agility and body fat ratio values is parallel to other handball players, the flexibility and jumping values were found to be lower than other hearing-impaired athletes and handball players. In particular, grip strength values are higher than other hearing-impaired athletes, and parallel to the values of handball players.

Introduction: The goal of this paper is to determine what happens in one minute (on average) in kinematic parameters and metabolic power in small sided games (SSG) (3v3; 5v5) and large sided games (LSG) (10v10) and in which games kinematic parameters and metabolic power are best developed.Methods: The participants of this study were 22 professional football players, height 182.95±6.52 cm, mass 77.17±8.21 kg, body mass index (BMI) 22.97±1.47 kg/m2, body fat 9.85±2.55 %, aged 27.1±5.4 yrs, who played in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Data total distance (TD), maximum speed (MS), number of accelerations (nAcc), number of decelerations (nDec), number of sprints (nS), high intensity distance (Z4≥19.8 km/h), sprint distance (Z5≥25.2 km/h) and movements requiring a certain metabolic power (Pmet), were collected using a 20 Hz Global positioning system (GPS) system Pro2 (GPEXE, Exelio srl, Udine, Italy), on a total of 307 individual observations.Results: The results showed that the average total distance was significantly higher in the 5v5 (135.16±18.78 m) and 10v10 (133.43±20.06 m) games (F=64.26, p&lt;0.001) compared to the 3v3 (108.24±11.26 m). Furthermore, the values of the variables Z4 (8.32±3.38 m, F=97.59), Z5 (1.84±1.53 m, F=123.64), nS (0.13±0.10 n, F=96.14) as well as Maxspeed (27.06±1.90 km/h, F=139.33), are statistically significantly higher (p&lt;0.001) in the 10v10 game compared to the other two game formats. The average number of nAcc (0.40±0.32 n, F=9.86, p&lt;0.001) and nDec (0.62±0.36 n, F=6.42, p&lt;0.001) is statistically significantly higher in the 5v5 game. The results showed that the 5v5 game is significantly more metabolically demanding Pmet (2.76±0.67 W•kg−1, F=66.08, p&lt;0.001) compared to the other two game formats.Discussion: The data presented in this paper can be used as a basis for the construction of specific exercises based on kinematic and physiological requirements, and for planning and programming microcycles in football.

The aim of this study is to examine the acute effect of different training programs applied to elite female handball players on throwing accuracy. 14 elite female players were participated in the study. The mean age of the participating players was 28.64 ± 9.88 (years), the mean height length was 176.50 ± 4.86 (cm), the mean body weight was 68.07 ± 2.12 (kg) and the mean sport age was 14.36 ± 4.89 (years). On different days, a technical training program, maximal strength training program, strength endurance training program and speed power training program have been implemented to the participating players in the research. Before and after training, the players throwing the ball from their area to the specific points of goal and the percentage of accuracy was determined. As a result; there was a significant difference between before and after maximal strength training the mean values of throwing accuracy (p<0,05) but there was no significant difference before and after other training programs (p> 0,05). This result indicates that acute maximal strength training has a negative effect on throwing accuracy.
