    ABDOMINAL BIOELECTRIC IMPEDANCE FOR FOLLOW-UP OF DIETERS: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY
    (2019) Bozkus, Y.; Mousa, U.; Demir, C. C.; Anil, C.; Kut, A.; Iyidir, O. Turhan; Kirnap, N. Gulsoy; Firat, S.; Nar, A.; Tutuncu, N. B.; 0000-0002-1816-3903; 31508169; ABG-5027-2020; K-7904-2019
    Context. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a strong predictor of carbohydrate metabolism disorders. Abdominal bioelectrical impedance analysis (A-BIA) is a simple method for the measurement of VAT and is a promising tool in screening and follow-up of abdominal obesity. However the role of A-BIA in dieting individuals has not been evaluated adequately in longitudinal follow-up studies. Objective. The aim of this study is to determine the role of A-BIA in identifying the changes in metabolic predictors after diet and/or exercise therapy. Design. All patients who sought weight loss treatment underwent baseline assessment and were prescribed a program of diet. After a mean follow-up of 3.2 months, data were analyzed. Subjects and Methods. Ultimately, 103 participants who reported adhering to the diet, enrolled to the study. We tested associations between changes in body composition measures and changes in laboratory measures using correlations and multivariate linear regression analysis. Results. Mean loss of body weight was 3.4 +/- 2.8 kg. All but waist-to-hip ratio, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels changed significantly (p<0.001). Decreases in body weight, body mass index (BMI), and VAT level significantly correlated with decreases in fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin level, and HOMA-IR score (r=0.230-0.371). In multiple linear regression analysis changes in BMI and VAT significantly correlated with change in HOMA-IR score (F(7.93)=2.283, p=0.034, R2=0.147). Conclusion. Decreases in BMI and VAT, as determined by A-BIA, were predictors of changes in metabolic laboratory measures. A-BIA is useful for follow-up of patients receiving diet therapy for weight loss.

    Physical and Anthropometric Characteristics of Youth Volleyball Players According to Playing Position and Gender
    (2019) Aytar, Sinem Hazir
    The purpose of this study was to investigate some physical and anthropometric characteristics of youth volleyball players according to the playing positions and gender. A total of 562 volleyball players [308 female and 254 male] at the age of 14 were examined according to their playing positions [setter, spiker and middle blocker] in the study. Body height and weight and anthropometric measurements of the players were measured in order to determine body fat percentage, fat-free mass, sum of seven site skinfolds and somatotype of the players. According to the results, the difference between the genders was significant in all analyzed variables [p<0.05]. In terms of body fat percentage and somatotype except from the components of endomorphy and ectomorphy, the difference between the playing positions was significant in other physical and anthropometric characteristics [p<0.05]. In conclusion, it was possible to state that some physical and anthropometric characteristics were efficient on positioning in female and male volleyball players at the age of 14, and some anthropometric characteristics specific to the position could be gained by the training. Furthermore, results of this study provided normative data for the 14-year-old male and female volleyball players playing in specific individual positions.
