    Gender Differences in the Relation of Personality Traits and Self-Presentation with Physical Activity
    (2015) Asci, F. H.; Lindwall, M.; Altintas, A.; Gursel, N. Edepli; 0000-0002-6650-6931
    Objectives. - The purpose of this study was to examine the relation of physical activity with personality traits and self-presentation and gender differences in this relation. Methods. - Two hundred thirteen female (M-age = 21.73 +/- 1.63), 247 male (M-age = 22.37 +/- 2.19) exercisers voluntarily participated in this study. The Five Factor Personality Inventory (short version), Self Presentation in Exercise Questionnaire and The short version of International Physical Activity Questionnaire was administered to participants. Results. - Regression analysis indicated that openness to experience was a significant predictor of moderate physical activity in females. On the other hand, agreeableness, emotional stability and conscientiousness were related to vigorous physical activity in males. Analysis also revealed significant relationship between vigorous physical activity and impression motivation in both males and females. Furthermore, impression construction was also associated with vigorous physical activity in females. Conclusion. - This study extended the previous studies on Western culture to non-western culture of Turkey and also provided some explanation for inconclusive results about the gender differences in the relationship of personality and physical activity. The study also examined the relationship between self-presentation and physical activity in terms of gender, which is less frequently studied. The findings of this study indicated that the pattern of relation of physical activity with personality traits differed with regard to gender. For males, personality characteristic were related with vigorous physical activity but for females personality is predictor of moderate physical activity. The patterns of relation of physical activity with self-presentation are similar for males and females and self-presentation is related with the vigorous physical activity for both gender.

    Are Turkish Elite Sailors Competing in Laser and 470 Classes Ready for The Olympics?
    (2017) Cinar-Medeni, Ozge; Pekyavas, Nihan O.; Uzun, Ayse; Fatmanur, E. R.; Suveren, Ceren; Colakoglu, Fatma F.; Baltaci, Gul; AAC-6522-2020
    BACKGROUND: Aerobic and anaerobic capacity, muscle strength and balance skills are important parameters in sailors. We aimed to investigate the aerobic and anaerobic capacity, knee muscle strength, hand grip strength and balance of elite Turkish sailors competing in 470 and Laser classes selected for the Olympic team and to establish the differences in physical fitness status between sailors competing in 470 and Laser classes. METHODS: Nine Laser and ten 470 sailors were evaluated. A treadmill VO2max test for aerobic capacity, a Wingate cycle ergometer test for anaerobic power and capacity, an isokinetic knee muscle strength assessment at 60 degrees/s and 120 degrees/s angular velocities (output data were flexor peak torque, extensor peak torque and H/Q strength ratio), an isometric hand grip strength assessment and a star excursion balance test (SEBT) were performed. RESULTS: Laser and 470 sailors showed similar physical fitness values and no difference was found between sailing classes (P>0.05) for all test results. Most of the sailors' H/Q strength ratios were lower than normal values. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that the physical requirements of Laser and 470 sailors are similar; however, they are both at risk of knee injury because of low H/Q strength ratios. Athletic trainers and physiotherapists working with sailors should also consider the H/Q strength ratio because low values of H/Q strength ratio are seen in this population. The results of this study may constitute a basis for further studies because we have reported the results of several physical fitness tests together and in a detailed manner.

    The Effects Of Exercise And Lifestyle Modification On Pain And Function In Mobıie Phone Users: A Randomized Controlled Study
    (2021) Pekyavas, Nihan Ozunlu; Saygili, Fettah; Yuruk, Zeliha Ozlem; Sahin, Fatma Nese; AAX-5562-2021
    Introduction: Repetitive head flexion is one of the most important risk factors causing neck pain associated to mobile phone use. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise and lifestyle modifications on pain and neck function in mobile phone users with neck pain. Materials and methods: Eighty-five sedentary participants using smartphones for more than 5 hours daily were included in the study. The participants were divided into three groups: exercise (EG n=29), exercise+lifestyle modification (EGL n=28), and control group (CG n=28). The EG received a home exercise treatment program for 4 weeks. The EGL received lifestyle modification suggestions added to the home exercise program. The CG did not receive any treatments. Pain intensity was evaluated during rest and activity with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and neck function was assessed with the Neck Disability Index at the beginning and at the end of the intervention. Results: There were significant improvements in the EG and EGL for all parameters (p<0.05). However, no significant changes were present in the CG (p>0.05). Post-hoc analysis highlighted a significant difference only in VAS during activity between groups (p<0.05). The lifestyle modification had no added benefit over exercise (p>0.05). Conclusion: Exercise has positive effects on pain and neck function and should be recommended for individuals who frequently use mobile devices.
