This study aimed to determine the relationship between adolescents’ leisure boredom, substance use, and participation in recreational sports in a high-risk substance use region of Turkey. To determine high-school adolescents’ socio-demographic characteristics, data collection relied on an adolescent self-report data form and ‘substance’ and ‘boredom’ subscales of the Adolescent Risk-Taking Scale and Leisure Boredom Scale, respectively (n = 235, all males, Mage = 15.75 years, SD = 1.19). While there was a positive correlation (r = 0.43) between leisure boredom and substance use, a small significant negative relationship was observed between leisure boredom and participation in recreational sports (r = - 0.27) and between substance use and participation in recreational sports (r = -0.16). However, as research has shown that recreational sport activities may play an effective role in preventing leisure boredom, the results of the present study suggest that sports may play role in preventing substance use as well.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of functional mobility analyse and body stability on service performance among veteran tennis players. 25 veteran (senior) players (Xage: 40.79±4.2) who are active licenced, have participated in the study voluntarily. The analyse of body stability of participant group has been done by using 4 core endurance tests; plank test (PT), lateral bridge test (LBTdom./non-dom.), flexor endurance test (FET) and extensor endurance test (EET). The evaluation of the participant’s mobility ability has been done with Functional Movement Screening test (FMS). Service performance scale has been conducted with Sports Radar Speed Gun SR3600. Participants have been asked for serving 8 times at maximal speed, the shots would be aimed at the cross service box with the dominant hand, accordingly with the tennis rules, balls which are hung to the net and out of service court (out) have been invalidated. Spearman Rank Order correlation analyse has been done on the gathered data by considering normality distribution at SPSS for windows 20.0 programme. In conclusion; a relationship couldn’t be found between the FMS and service performance speed rates of veteran (senior) tennis players. While it has been seen that there is a relationship between service performance speed and from the body stability core endurance tests; LBT (dominant), (p<0,05; r=0,550) FET (p<0,05; r=0,426) and EET (p<0,05; r=0,460), a relationship between PT and LBT(non-dom.) and service performance and between FMS and body stability core endurance tests hasn’t been encountered. A healthy psychical structure with a wide range of mobility can contribute to the performance of a variety of sport branches including tennis. When the role of service performance in a tennis match has been taken into account, it has been considered as one of the most important part of a play. For the studies that can be done in the future, with increasing the number of subjects, also using video analyse system can be recommended.
摘要本研究旨在探讨运动功能分析及身体稳定性对资深网球运动员发球表现的影响。25名现役授权的资深(资深)球员(年龄:40.79±4.2)自愿参加本研究。采用4项核心耐力试验对参与者组的身体稳定性进行了分析;平板测试(PT)、侧桥测试(lbtdom /non-dom)、屈肌耐力测试(FET)和伸肌耐力测试(EET)。采用功能运动筛选试验(FMS)对受试者的活动能力进行评价。使用SR3600运动雷达测速炮进行服役性能量表。选手被要求以最大速度发球8次,击球将用惯用手瞄准交叉发球区,因此根据网球规则,悬挂在网外和发球区外的球为无效。在SPSS for windows 20.0程序中,考虑正态分布,对收集的数据进行了Spearman秩序相关分析。结论;老(高级)网球运动员发球动作速度与FMS之间不存在相关关系。虽然已经看到服务性能速度和身体稳定性核心耐力测试之间存在关系;LBT(显性),(p< 0.05;r=0,550) FET (p< 0.05;r=0,426)和EET (p< 0.05;r=0,460), PT和LBT(非随机)与服务性能之间以及FMS与身体稳定性核心耐力测试之间的关系尚未遇到。健康的心理结构和广泛的活动范围有助于各种运动分支的表现,包括网球。当发球表现在网球比赛中的作用被考虑在内时,它被认为是比赛中最重要的部分之一。对于今后可以进行的研究,随着研究对象的增加,也可以推荐使用视频分析系统。

The purpose of this article is to determine the factors that influence the motivations of the 39th Istanbul Marathon volunteers towards this event. This study was conducted on a total of 196 volunteers, 95 male and 101 female. Information about the participants was provided by Sport Events Volunteer Motivation Scale (SEVMS). For the statistical evaluation of the study, first factor analysis was conducted in order to determine whether the SEVMS provided a basic pattern of the scale and reliability analysis was conducted to determine whether it was measuring a holistic structure. Since Bartlett's test for sphericity Chi-square value was 2582.64 (p<0.05) and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was 0.849 as a result of the reliability and factor analyses, it was concluded with factor analysis that the items could create patterns at high levels. According to the results of the study, it was found that in terms of the students’ departments, there were statistically significant differences in purposive, solidary and external traditions sub-dimensions and volunteer motivation total scores in favour of sport students and graduates. Therefore, it should be ensured that the success of the organization is increased by providing the individuals who have received or who are receiving education in the field of sport to participate in sports events. In addition to this, efforts should be made so that the students who are studying in the field of sport can experience the subjects they study in school. Another important result of the study is that external traditions sub-dimension scores of volunteers who have low English level are higher when compared with volunteers who have moderate and high levels of English. This is because international sport events provide volunteers a chance to improve foreign language skills. In this regard, volunteers who have low foreign language levels should be appointed with foreign language-knowing volunteers and their expectations should be met and they should be given opportunities to become global citizens in the globalizing world.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction on tibial torsion angle (TTA) in the operated limb using computed tomography (CT) and physical examination methods and to show the relationship between post-operative muscle strength features and TTA by using isokinetic dynamometer. 21 patients between 18 and 36 years old (25.4±6.8) who underwent ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon (HT) autograft and then completed the ACL rehabilitation were included in this study. Isokinetic strength measurements were evaluated by Biodex-Multi Joint System-Pro 4 dynamometer. To evaluate TTA; CT, transmalleolar and thigh-foot angle (TFA) measurements were carried out. There was no significant TTA differences between 21 operated and non-operated knees for any method (p> 0.05). At the isokinetic evaluation to the extension direction there were a significant differences 60-180o/sec in peak torque value (p=0,0001, p=0,003) and average power value (p=0,004, p=0,002). As the percentage of losses in peak torque value to the flexion direction at velocity of 180 o/sec increases, the CT diagnosed angle difference between both knees increases. (p<0,01, r=0,548) As the percentage of losses in average power value to the extension direction at the velocity of 60 o/sec increases, the TFA difference between both knees increases. (p<0,01, r=0,563) . The isokinetic evaluation findings show that the strength loss between the knees increases the TTA differences. This finding shows the relationship of post-op rehabilitation with TTA varies and re-injury risk. In the isokinetic evaluation, subjects with high loss of strength in the direction of flexion at 180o/sec velocity had higher TTA differences, so rehabilitation protocols should be also focused on muscle endurance.

Enterprises operating in international markets in a globalizing world must take many factors into consideration in their activities. Country of origin effect and consumer ethnocentrism are among these factors. In this study, the goals were to determine (i) the effect of consumer ethnocentrism and the the country of origin effect on attitude towards the foreign brand and (ii) the effect of attitude towards the foreign brand on the purchase intention of foreign brand products. Foreign products were considered as recreational materials used in sports activities. A total of 335 participants (195 women (58%) and 140 men (42%), participated in the study. The data collected with the help of a structured questionnaire were statistically analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results revealed that consumer ethnocentrism negatively influences attitude towards the foreign brand, country of origin effect positively influences attitude towards the foreign brand, and finally attitude towards the foreign brand has a strong and positive effect on the purchase intention of foreign brand products. Considering that Turkish consumers generally behave in favor of purchasing local products in textiles and clothing products, the fact that the country of origin effect has a positive effect on the foreign brand attitude of recreational materials used in sports activities has been the most striking point of the study.
