Item Parental modelling in child’s nutrition behaviours and attitudes(Kamla-Raj Enterprises, 2015) Korkmaz M.; Yücel A.S.; Yaman Ç.; Hergüner G.; Catikkas F.; Kilic B.While there are many factors influencing obesity, it can be said that the risk of obesity in children is increased by the nutrition behaviours and attitudes of parents as well as negative relationships within the family. In this regard, the aim of this study is to identify obesity and eating habits of children, parents’ attitudes for such behaviours, and factors influencing nutrition. A questionnaire with 4 parts was administrated to the parents of 650 children. Non-parametric and parametric statistical tests were applied on the collected data. At the end of the study, it was found that child nutrition is influenced by psychological and environmental factors, and that the child’s attitudes for healthy nutrition are influenced by the age and gender in children as well as the age, gender, the number of children, and education in parents. Furthermore, it was found that the behaviours of parents that influence the child’s nutrition include especially following the nutrition habits of the child, preventing the child to consume hazardous foods and guiding the child in nutrition. © Kamla-Raj 2015.Item Carpal tunnel syndrome(American-Eurasian Network for Scientific Information, 2015) Kiliç B.; Yücel A.S.; Yaman Ç.; Çatikkas F.; Hergüner G.Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common periphery nerve-trapping syndrome. CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) surgery is the most often operation around the world. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs as a result of nerve compression at wrist level and generally appears with affective and motor findings. This symptom is also called hand acroparesthesia, tenar palsy, tardy median palsy, median neuritis, median tenar neuritis and so on. It is seen more in adult females over the age of 40. First symptoms are generally burn up, hyperkinesia, weakness, pain, pins and needles, or loss of sense that occur in the area where median nerve is eligible for bilateral spread on hand. Neuronal conduction and electrodiagnostic examinations including needle electromyography are the most common auxiliary methods used for diagnosis. Treatment procedures are generally divided into two, being conservative and surgery. Most commonly applied method is open surgical release. In our study, we shared the perfect results obtained from 186 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome whom we applied surgery under local anesthesia without admission to the hospital and we followed up from outpatient clinics. We also showed that with a practical method as we applied, patients could return their social and work lives within a short period of time. © 2015 AENSI Publisher All rights reserved.Item The Effects of Positive and Negative Feedback on Maximal Voluntary Contraction Level of the Biceps Brachii Muscle: Moderating Roles of Gender and Conscientiousness(SAGE Publications Inc., 2017) Sarıkabak M.; Yaman Ç.; Tok S.; Binboga E.We investigated the effect of positive and negative feedback on maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the biceps brachii muscle and explored the mediating effects of gender and conscientiousness. During elbow flexion, MVCs were measured in positive, negative, and no-feedback conditions. Participants were divided into high- and low-conscientiousness groups based on the median split of their scores on Tatar's five-factor personality inventory. Considering all participants 46 college student athletes (21 female, 28 male), positive feedback led to a greater MVC percentage change (−5.76%) than did negative feedback (2.2%). MVC percentage change in the positive feedback condition differed significantly by gender, but the negative feedback condition did not. Thus, positive feedback increased female athletes’ MVC level by 3.49%, but decreased male athletes’ MVC level by 15.6%. For conscientiousness, MVC percentage change in the positive feedback condition did not differ according to high and low conscientiousness. However, conscientiousness interacted with gender in the positive feedback condition, increasing MVC in high-conscientiousness female athletes and decreasing MVC in low-conscientiousness female athletes. Positive feedback decreased MVC in both high- and low-conscientiousness male athletes. © 2016, © The Author(s) 2016.Item The effect of motivational climate and conscientiousness on athletes’ maximal voluntary contraction level of biceps brachii muscle(Springer, 2020) Tok S.; Dal N.; Doğan E.; Yaman Ç.; Binboğa E.We investigated the effect of induced motivational climates (a mastery climate and a performance climate) on maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) level of the biceps brachii muscle. We also aimed to explore whether motivational orientations, together with conscientiousness, are associated with MVC level in mastery and performance climate conditions. The sample consisted of 53 college student athletes ranging in age from 20 to 26. Participants first completed the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire and items relating to conscientiousness from the Short Form of the Five Factor Personality Inventory. Then, during isometric elbow flexion, MVCs were measured in a neutral condition. Afterwards, participants were informed of their MVC levels measured in the neutral condition via biofeedback software, and randomly assigned to either the mastery or the performance condition. Participants in the mastery climate condition were instructed to exceed their own highest MVC level observed in the neutral condition. In contrast, participants in the performance climate condition were instructed to exceed an unrealistic MVC level described as the best ever recorded so far. Results indicated that percentage change in MVC differed significantly between the mastery and performance climate conditions. Specifically, while there was a 13.5% increase in MVC value in the performance climate condition, there was an 8.8% decrease in the mastery climate condition. Results also showed that regardless of motivational climate, the percentage change in MVC was unrelated to motivational orientations and conscientiousness. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
