COVID-19, which became a current issue as a result of the pneumonia cases with unknown etiology in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China on December 31, 2019, has started to spread throughout the world and deaths related to it have increased rapidly. Isolation, which is an important step in the control of this disease, has many physiological and psychological effects. Initiating a sudden quarantine situation means a radical change in the lifestyle of the population. Changing lifestyles and behaviours may result in insufficient levels of physical activity and inadequate movement, which increases the risk of developing conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases. During quarantine, it is essential to stay active and maintain a physical exercise routine for mental and physical health. It is very important people should continue their active lives at home so that their lifestyles do not change and their health conditions do not deteriorate. The aim of the study is to determine the exercises that can be done during the COVID-19 outbreak and the points to be considered during the exercises.

Özet Çin’in Hubei Eyaleti, Vuhan Şehrinde, 31 Aralık 2019’da etiyolojisi bilinmeyenpnömoni vakaları ile gündeme gelen COVID-19 dünyaya yayılmaya başlamış ve buna bağlı ölümler hızla artmıştır. Bu hastalığın kontrolünde önemli basamak olan izolasyonun fizyolojik ve psikolojik birçok etkisi vardır. Ani bir karantina durumunun başlatılması, nüfusun yaşam tarzında radikal bir değişiklik anlamına gelmektedir. Değişen yaşam biçimleri ve davranışları, yetersiz fiziksel aktivite seviyesi ve yetersiz hareket ile sonuçlanabilir ve bu durum diyabet, hipertansiyon, kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, solunum yolu hastalıkları gibi durumların oluşma riskini artırır. Karantina sırasında, zihinsel ve fiziksel sağlık için aktif kalmak ve fiziksel bir egzersiz rutini korumak esastır. İnsanların yaşam tarzlarının değişmemesi ve sağlıklarının bozulmaması için evde aktif yaşama devam etmeleri çok önemlidir. Yapılan çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 salgını esnasında yapılabilecek egzersizler ve egzersiz esnasında dikkat edilmesi gereken hususların belirtilmesidir.
COVID-19 is an alarming public health concern worldwide. COVID-19 is highly contagious and has no approved treatment or vaccine yet. Therefore, the best strategy is prevention. Studies have shown that a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, balanced eating, and quality sleep are the key elements for protection from this disease. We are going through a distressful period as a nation and as the human race in general. We need to manage this period in the best way possible in physiological and psychological terms. Physical activity is one of the major steps in managing this period in a healthy way. Individuals should be provided information about exercise so that they can perform correct physical activities within their means. This article presents an exercise prescription that can be followed in the days of the COVID-19 pandemic. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.7.2929 How to cite this:Aktug ZB, Demir NA.

This study was conducted to estimate the Olympic ranking of the games played in the qualifying groups by the countries that were qualified for the 2016 Rio Olympics in volleyball branch by analyzing with the developed artificial neural networks (ANN) and linear equation model. In the study, the difficulty level of all games (n=324) that total 22 teams played in the qualifying for the 2016 Rio Olympics in volleyball branch (11 female and 11 male volleyball teams) and International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) ranking score was evaluated separately. Feedforward network structure having two hidden layers in the modeling with ASS developed for 9 different input variables was preferred in the study. In addition, linear modeling method, which provides an easier calculation than artificial neural networks, was performed by “regress” instruction in MATLAB. In the female group, the percentage mean error value of the models was calculated as 18.86 by ANN model, and as 4.53 by linear model. In male groups, it was calculated as 19,34 by ANN model, and as 0,74 by linear model. According to the modeling results obtained in the study, both female and male volleyball teams’ results were modeled with a higher accuracy by linear model. As a result, team rankings of the volleyball branch in the women's group in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games was estimated with an accuracy over 98% separately by ANN modeling regression results and linear modeling regression results. In men’s volleyball games, it was estimated with an accuracy over 98% by ANN modeling regression results, and with an accuracy over 99% by linear modeling regression results. It can be stated that the difficulty level of the games that countries participating in Olympics in volleyball branch played in the qualifying groups and FIVB ranking scores are among the variables that have a significant effect on determining the Olympic ranking.

Özet Bu çalışma 2016 Rio Olimpiyatlarına voleybol branşından katılma hakkı kazanan ülkelerin eleme gruplarındaki maçlarının, geliştirilen yapay sinir ağları (YSA) ve doğrusal eşitlik modeli ile analiz edilerek olimpiyat sıralamasının tahmin edilmesi amacı ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmada 2016 Rio Olimpiyatlarına voleybol branşından katılan (11 kadın ve 11 erkek voleybol takımı) toplam 22 takımın grup elemelerinde oynadığı tüm maçlar (n=324) zorluk derecesi ve Uluslararası Voleybol Federasyonu (FIVB) sıralama puanı göz önüne alınarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada dokuz farklı giriş değişkenine göre geliştirilen YSA modeli ile modellemede iki gizli katmana sahip ileri yayılımlı ağ yapısı tercih edilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmada YSA’na göre çok daha basit bir hesaplama sağlayan doğrusal modelleme yöntemi de, MATLAB’de bulunan “regress” komutu ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kadınlar grubunda; test verilerine bakıldığında modellerin yüzde ortalama hata değeri, YSA modelinde 18.86, doğrusal modelde 4.53 olarak; erkekler grubunda ise YSA modelinde 19.34, doğrusal modelde 0.74 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen modelleme sonuçlarına göre; hem kadın hem de erkek voleybol takımlarının sonuçları doğrusal model ile daha yüksek doğrulukla modellenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, kadınlar kategorisinde 2016 Rio Olimpiyat Oyunlarında voleybol branşının takım sıralaması, YSA modelleme regresyon sonuçları ve doğrusal modelleme regresyon sonuçları ile ayrı ayrı %98’in üstünde doğrulukla tahmin edilmiştir. Erkek voleybol maçlarında ise YSA modelleme regresyon sonuçları %98’in üstünde, doğrusal modelleme regresyon sonuçları ise %99’un üstünde doğrulukla tahmin edilmiştir. Voleybolda Olimpiyatlara katılan ülkelerin eleme gruplarında oynadıkları maçların zorluk derecesi ve FIVB sıralama puanlarının Olimpiyat sıralamasının belirlenmesine önemli etkisi olan değişkenlerden olduğu söylenebilir.
Objective: 12 weeks of corrective exercises may improve functional movement screen (FMS TM) test scores of elite female volleyball players. Materials and Methods: Thirteen elite female volleyball players voluntarily participated in the study. The functional movement patterns of the volleyball players were determined through the FMS TM test kit. Corrective exercise protocol was applied for 3 times a week during 12 weeks. FMS TM tests, FMS TM total scores and the differences between the pre-test and post-exercise tests were determined by means of the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Results: It was determined that total FMS TM scores (19.6%) and shoulder mobility (87%) test scores significantly increased following the corrective exercise program. Although an increase in deep squat (8.3%), hurdle step (4.1%), in line lunge (18.1%), push-up (42.4 %), rotator stability balance (18.3%) tests were determined, they were statiscally insignificant. Conclusion: FMS TM total scores which are considered to be an indicator of sports injuries were improved with corrective exercises. Inclusion of corrective exercises in the training schedules may decrease the injury risks.
