Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has put immense pressure on global health systems, especially developing countries with weaker health systems. Objectives: In the present study, we were looking to see if lifestyle behaviors could predict the severity and recovery duration of COVID-19. Methods: A total of 1 192 participants between the ages of 18 and 70 years participated voluntarily in a web-based survey. Food pattern and physical activity levels were respectively evaluated using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and the Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was also used to evaluate sleep disorders. Analysis of variance, chi-square test, and multinomial logistic regression were used to analyze the data. The significance level was P ≤ 0.05. Results: The findings suggested that patients with lower levels of physical activity, sleep disorders, and unhealthier dietary patterns were affected by more severe COVID-19 and longer recovery time (P ≤ 0.05). We found that physical activity and sleep quality predicted the severity of COVID-19, and physical activity and dietary patterns predicted the recovery time from COVID-19 (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusions: In conclusion, lifestyle behaviors, such as unhealthy diets, inactivity, and sleep quality disturbance, affect the severity and duration of COVID-19.

Background: Dart sport has become a sport that has recently become widespread among sports branches and its popularity is increasing rapidly day by day. With this popularization, research on darts is increasing. It is stated that athletes can do the training they do at any time of the day with a much better performance at a different time, as in many changing conditions. In addition, at a different time of day, fatigue may be reached later or recovery may occur more quickly. For these reasons, knowing the effect of training at different times of the day is important for both the coach and the athlete. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different times of the day on throwing performance in darts, an indoor skill in which focus, attention, concentration are at the forefront and environmental factors are less effective than outdoor skill. Methods: In this study, 16 dart athletes (8 boys, 8 girls) with a sport age of 2 - 3 years and an age of 12 - 14 years, who did not have any health problems in Mardin province, participated voluntarily: 2 m and 2.37 m from two different distances at 8.00 and 17.00, 1 day apart. Before the dart throws, the Daily Rhythm Determination Scale for Children was administered to the participants. The center of the dartboard was placed at eye level for each subject. After the throws, the Perceived Difficulty Scale was applied. In the analysis examining the relationship between perceived degree of difficulty, morningness-eveningness and throwing, the subjects’ evening throwing scores and evening perceived degree of difficulty scores were examined; a negative and significant relationship was observed in the eveningist group (r = -1, P = 0.01). No significant relationship was observed in the morning group. Results: In the study, a statistically significant difference was found between the subjects’ morning and evening throws at 2 m and 2.37 cm. In both morning and evening groups, it was determined that the throwing performance increased in the evening measurements. Conclusions: As a result, this study concluded that there is an effect of time of day in dart sport and that dart throws made in the evening give better results than dart throws made in the morning. Based on these results, it is recommended that a program should be made by the coaches considering the school programs and daily routines to reduce the effect of time of day. It is thought that this study will be important for chronobiological researches to reveal the factors affecting performance as well as the effect of time of day in darts sport.
背景:飞镖运动是近年来在体育分支中普及的一项运动，其普及程度日益迅速。随着飞镖的普及，对飞镖的研究也越来越多。据说，运动员可以在一天中的任何时间进行训练，在不同的时间，如在许多变化的条件下，表现会更好。此外，在一天中的不同时间，疲劳可能会晚一些，恢复可能会更快。由于这些原因，了解一天中不同时间训练的效果对教练和运动员都很重要。目的:本研究的目的是调查一天中不同时间对飞镖投掷成绩的影响，飞镖是一种室内技能，集中注意力和注意力是最重要的，环境因素的影响不如室外技能。方法:本研究选取马尔丁省年龄在2 ~ 3岁，年龄在12 ~ 14岁，无任何健康问题的16名飞镖运动员(男8名，女8名)，在8点和17点两个不同距离，间隔1天，自愿参加:2米和2.37米。在投掷飞镖之前，对参与者进行了儿童每日节奏测定量表。飞镖靶的中心与受试者的眼睛平齐。投掷后，应用感知难度量表。在感知困难程度、早晚性与投掷的关系分析中，考察了被试投掷的夜间得分和夜间感知困难程度得分;夜间用药组与夜间用药组呈显著负相关(r = -1, P = 0.01)。在早起组中没有观察到明显的关系。结果:在本研究中，受试者在2米和2.37厘米的早晨和晚上投掷有统计学上的显著差异。在早晨组和晚上组中，确定投掷性能在晚上测量中有所提高。结论:因此，本研究得出的结论是，在一天中的时间对飞镖运动有影响，晚上投掷的飞镖比早上投掷的飞镖效果更好。在此基础上，建议教练员结合学校项目和日常活动，制定相应的方案，减少时间的影响。认为本研究对揭示飞镖运动中影响成绩的因素以及时间的影响具有重要的时间生物学研究意义。

Background: The psychological and physiological effects of music have become an attractive field of sports research in the past decade. Objectives: This study investigated the effect of classical music on two sports skills, agility and free throw shooting, in female basketball players. Methods: The study population consisted of all female basketball players on a team. From those who met the study criteria, 26 participants were randomly assigned to two groups: a control group (without classical music) and an experimental group (with classical music). The research variables were measured using pre-tests and post-tests. Independent t-test was used to test the research hypotheses. Results: The results of the statistical tests showed a significant difference in post-test scores between the experimental and control groups (P < .05). Conclusions: Listening to classical music significantly improved the performance of female basketball players on agility and free throw shoo ting tasks.

Background: Currently, the scientific evidence available on plyometric training in young basketball players is limited. Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects produced by plyometric training over a period of 8 weeks, with a frequency of two weekly training sessions, combining vertical and horizontal force vectors. Methods: The study involved 28 young men (14.54 ± 0.6 years, a height of 182.76 ± 7.1 cm and a body weight of 68.05 ± 9.8 kg) high-level basketball players and aimed to investigate the effects of this training program on athletes at different maturational states, specifically based on their peak height velocity (PHV) and post-pubertal (post-PHV) stages. Results: Substantial improvements were achieved in the subjects who have carried out this type of plyometric training in all the parameters evaluated related to the improvement of the jump, linear speed and change of direction. Conclusions: Therefore, it is crucial to provide valuable information to trainers and physical trainers, enabling them to improve and individualize the conditioning work for optimal performance of their athletes.

Background: Futsal is a high-intensity team sport taxing both the aerobic and the anaerobic pathways. Thus, this sport requires the development of some specific physical capacities such as: Sprinting, jumping, agility and endurance. Objectives: Examine the effect of three months specific training on physical capacities (speed, explosive strength, agility and endurance) of Iraq futsal players. Methods: Twenty males’ professional futsal players (age: 19.73 ± 1.1 years, height: 172 ± 4.2 cm; body mass: 55.3 ± 8.9 kg) were divided into an experimental group (EG; n = 10) and a control group (CG; n = 10). Participants were selected from a first division team in Iraq. Before and after three months of specific training (at the pre-season phase), 5m and 15m sprint, counter movement jump (CMJ), change of direction [505 agility test (CODA)] and futsal intermittent endurance (FIET) tests were realized. During the three months, the CG continue their usual training and the EG used plyometric as well as technical and physical exercises. Results: For the sprint performance, although no-significant difference was reported between pre- and post-training for the 5 m sprint, the 15 m sprint performance was better at post- compared to pre-training (P < 0.05) for the EG. For jumping performance, CMJ was higher at post- compared to pre-training (P < 0.05) for the EG. Likewise, for agility and endurance, CODA performance and peak velocity during the FIET test were better at post- compared to pre-training (P < 0.05) for the EG. However, except a better performance for 15m sprint and peak velocity during the FIET test for the EG compared to CG at post-training (P < 0.05), no-significant differences were reported between pre- and post-training for the CG and between the two groups at pre- and post-training. Conclusions: In the light of these data, results have shown that improvement in physical capacities take into consideration the characteristics of futsal during training.
