This study aims to identify the anthropometric and morphometric characteristics and reveal the postural disorder of the male case called S.K who was diagnosed with Gigantism (pituitary gigantism) caused by hypersecretion of pituitary tumor related growth hormone and entitled as the tallest person alive in the world with a height of 2.51 cm in the Guinness World Records in 2009. Height, weight, body mass index, upper extremity lengths, lower extremity lengths, skinfold thickness, upper and lower extremity diameters, upper and lower extremity perimeters, chest depth and hand grip strength were measured for anthropometric measurement. 8 different body segments were calculated and analyzed using The Posture Screen Mobile® application for posture evaluation. Disorders in these segments were identified based on forward tilt of head (Anterior/Lateral -AL), position of head (A-L), tilt and position of shoulder (A-L), position of ribcage (left-right), position of pelvis (left-right), pelvic tilt (left-right) and load on head (lb. and kg) (Figure 1.). The measurements revealed that the case surprisingly had anthropometric and morphometric values above normal human dimensions and that, there was also no other living human being with numerically the same values. (Table 2-8). As a result, since the fact investigated has an extreme length due to jigantism, he has taken his place in the Guinness Book of records as the world's longest living person with a long length.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of cycling exercise program applied to young adults for eight weeks on aerobic and anaerobic performance. Fourteen volunteer, non-smokers, moderately active men aged between 19-23 participated in the study. The aerobic performance of the participants before and after the training program was determined by 20-meter shuttle running test and their anaerobic performance was determined by Wingate anaerobic power test. The training program consisted of 40-60 minutes cycle ergometer exercise performed 3 times weekly for 8 weeks at a work load corresponding to 60-80% of the maximal heart rate. The pre-post data were compared using the Wilcoxon paired signed ranks test. According to the findings of the study, there was no significant difference in body weight, body mass index, minimum strength and fatigue index values (p>0,05), while there was a significant difference in the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), peak power and average power values in the pre-test and post-test scores (p<0,05). As a result, it can be said that regular cycling exercises improve aerobic and anaerobic performance positively.

The aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between ego states based on Transactional Analysis (TA) and accordance levels based on team positions of footballers playing in elite U-19 young amateur league in Samsun province and their performance. The sample of the study consisted of 183 amateur football players playing in the league. For this purpose, TA Ego Status Scale, Personal Information Form and Performance Evaluation Scale were used as data collection instruments. One-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD test were used to examine the differences among the total scores of the players’ ego states (Critical Parent, Nurturing Parent, Adult, Natural/Free Child and Adapted Child) for the various variables (the football players’ positions on pitch, their performance etc). In addition to this, the correlation between the ego status (observed) of football players and ego status of their positions (expected) was estimated by using Pearson correlation coefficient. The results showed that the correlation between amateur team players' ego status based on transactional analysis and their positions in the team were only positively correlated with the adult ego status; however no statistically significant relationship was found between performance of football players and their ego status. In conclusion, unlike the results of studies showing that athletes' personality traits and psychological skills affect their sporting performance, this result of this study are in parallel with the results of studies which showed no a important correlation between athletes’ personality traits and their sporting performance. For this reason, it is necessary to do more studies that different research methods and scales should be used on different sample groups in teams and individual sports based on TA Ego States.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of static and dynamic core training on the performance of football players. In this study, static and dynamically applied core exercises were evaluated in terms of speed and agility in football players, and then their effects on anaerobic power tests, core stabilization tests and body composition were compared. While 10 of the 30 football players participating in the study were practicing dynamic core exercises and 10 of them were practicing static core exercises 2 days a week for about 9 weeks and 30 minutes a day, 10 athletes continued their football training with the other group athletes as control groups. The effects of the exercises, performed at the end of 9 weeks on performance, body composition, and core stabilization tests were compared in the pre and post-test in order (p<0.05). There is no significant difference in the height, body weight, body mass index parameters of 30 subjects (10 control, 10 static core, 10 dynamic core) belonging to the 3 groups participating in the study. Significant differences were found at waist level and hip circumference at the level of p<0.05 in comparisons between the first and last measurements of all anthropometric measurements. While there was a significant increase in the duration of leg lift, push-up, plank, shuttle, and isometric tests, a decrease was observed in the plank, shuttle and isometric test times in the control group. In the pre and post-test comparisons, 30 m speed, long jump, vertical jump, agility 550 and arrowhead agility tests showed a significant difference at p<0.05 level. It can be said that core studies should be included in training aimed at increasing performance in the football branch.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sports on the attention levels of primary school students. Participants were 150 female and 170 male Primary education students aged 12-14 years. Student's t-test was used for paired categorical comparisons between the groups. While there was a statistically significant difference between girls and boys in terms of psychomotor speed, selective attention level and special learning difficulty values (p 0, 05). While there was no statistically significant difference between the psychomotor speed scores of both boys and girls in the comparison between sport group and non-sport group (p> 0.05), there was a statistically significant difference in the level of selective attention, learning disability, concentration performance and total item error percentage (p <0.05 and p <0.001). Conclusion: It was determined that the attention levels of primary school students doing sports were better than those who were not doing sports. In the study, girls’ psycho-motor speed scores and selective attention level scores were higher than boys’ scores. Special learning disability scores were higher in boys than girls. It is recommended that all students in primary schools be involved in sporting activities to raise their attention levels.

The volunteers were asked to give written consent. Statistical analyses were held by using independent samples t test, one-way ANOVA, Tukey HSD as post-hoc and Pearson’s r. The level of significance was predetermined as .05 for all statistical analyses. To collect data, self-esteem scale by Rosenberg and self handicapping scale by Rhodewalt were used. The scales’ Turkish adaptations were done by Tukus and Akin, respectively. Statistical analyses revealed that taekwondo referees' self-handicapping scores were high and self esteem scores were moderate. The referees' self-handicapping scores were not significantly different by any variable. A significant difference in self-esteem scores by the place of residence was observed. It is concluded that additional researches should be done to set out the reasons for the high self-handicapping scores of taekwondo referees.
