    Balyan, M; Zekioglu, A; Besoglu, UD; Isik, T; Tascioglu, R
    Study Objectives: Nutrition and life satisfaction are very important for every living thing, but it has a different importance for individuals who do sports. The aim of this study was to compare the relationship between nutrition and life satisfaction of football players in the COVID-19 period and to evaluate with various variables. Methods: The research was conducted with 306 male players who actively played football in various clubs in the city center of Izmir between 2020 and 2021. The data were collected by using a personal information form, a three-factor nutrition questionnaire, and a life satisfaction scale. Results: The total scores of the life satisfaction scale differ significantly according to the age groups, income levels, future expectations, and loneliness levels of the football players (p<0.05). The total scores of the life satisfaction scale differ significantly according to their body mass index (BMI) groups, licensed football seniority, and their future expectations (p>0.05). The 4-Factor Nutrition Questionnaire and subscale total scores of the football players do not differ significantly in terms of loneliness level, age, licensed football seniority, level of income, and level of loneliness (p > 0.05). There is no relationship between the life satisfaction scale of individuals and the subscales of the Nutrition scale (p>0.05). There is a statistically significant positive correlation between the total scores of the Life Satisfaction Scale and the 4 Factor Nutrition Questionnaire (p<0.05). Conclusion: The more people enjoy life and the happier they are in life, the higher their life satisfaction will be. The diet of individuals with high life satisfaction is regular and they eat regularly. Individuals who are healthy and do not have psychological problems have high life satisfaction and healthy nutrition.

    Tok, S; Dal, N; Zekioglu, A; Çatikkas, F; Balikçi, I; Dogan, E
    Tok, S, Dal, N, Zekioglu, A, catikkas, F, Balikci, I, and Dogan, E. Autonomic cardiac activity among novice archers during baseline, shooting and recovery.J Strength Cond Res34(9): 2627-2635, 2020-In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether heart rate variability (HRV) of novice archers may vary during baseline, shooting, and recovery periods. In addition, we aimed to explore whether HRV may have different patterns between successful and less successful archers and man and woman archers. The sample consisted of 39 (12 woman) novice archers ranging in age from 21 to 27. Baseline HRV activity was measured in the first stage of the experiment. Then, participants shot 10 arrows, from 18 m to an 80 cm diameter target, whereas their HRV was measured. Lastly, HRV recovery response was measured immediately after shooting. HRV was represented as low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and LF/HF ratio. When considering the entire sample, repeated measures of analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that only HF power differed among baseline, shooting, and recovery periods [F(2, 76) = 6.90,p= 0.002, omega(2)= 0.15]. When the data partitioned, based on the median split of the shooting scores, repeated measures of ANOVA demonstrated that none of the HRV components differed in the less successful group from baseline to recovery. However, in the successful group, both LF [F(1.47, 30.98) = 4.75,p= 0.024, omega(2)= 0.18] and HF [F(1.54, 32.37) = 6.61,p= 0.007, omega(2)= 0.24] power significantly differed among baseline, shooting, and recovery. No differences were found between man and woman archers in terms of HRV indices. The results of the present study indicated that physical activities requiring the use of perceptual motor skills, in addition to physical qualities, may lead to different HRV responses. Moreover, coaches aiming to develop archers' shooting accuracy may take into account LF power measured during an arrow shooting session.

    Dalbudak, I; Balyan, M; Zekioglu, A; Basoglu, UD; Manci, E
    Study Objectives: It is aimed to investigate the relationship between body perception and nutrition of b2-b3 visually impaired athletes. In addition, another aim of this study is to determine the knowledge of b2-b3 visually impaired athletes about body perception and nutrition. Methods: The study was conducted with the participation of a total of 108 volunteers, 40 women and 68 men, from b2-b3 visually impaired athletes, who played professionally in different clubs, and the relationship between body perception and nutritional variables and demographic characteristics were analyzed. Volunteering was taken into account in participation. As the data collection tool, the Personal Information Form and the body perception scale developed by Secord and Jourard, whose validity and reliability study was conducted and adapted into Turkish by Hovardaoglu, and the three-factor nutrition scale developed by Karlsson et al. were used. Results: Body perception scale total score means of the individuals differ significantly according to gender and educational status (p<0.05). No significant differences were obtained for other demographic variables (p>0.05). While there was a significant difference in the four-factor nutrition questionnaire of the individuals and the subscales according to gender (p<0.05), there was no significant difference in terms of age and disability status, sports branch, education status, income status, vision level (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant strong positive directional relationship between Body Perception Scale and Four Factor Nutrition Survey (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that the training programs, competitions, and resting intervals of the sports life of B2-B3 visually impaired athletes have an effective role on body perception as they have a controllable nutritional habit. In short, we can say that the thoughts or ideas of visually disabled athletes about body perception are extremely effective on nutrition.

    Zekioglu, A; Çam, FS; Mutlutürk, N; Berdeli, A; Çolakoglu, M
    The researchers investigated the relationship between intense training, the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val108/158Met gene polymorphism, and alexithymia. Eighteen female and 77 male athletes were included. The Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) questionnaire and polymerase chain reaction method were used to evaluate alexithymia and the COMT gene Val108/158Met polymorphism,. respectively. Fifteen (15.8%) subjects were evaluated as alexithymic and 80 (84.2%) were non-alexithymic according to the TAS. The COMT Val108/158 Met gene polymorphism frequencies were as follows: 17.9% Met/Met, 50.5% Val/Met, and 31.6% Val/Val. No difference were observed among training intensity, the COMT Val108/158 Met gene polymorphism, and alexithymia(p > 0.05). However, 60% of the alexithymic subjects trained intensively and only 6.7% trained lightly. Intensive and light training rates for non-alexithymic athletes were 46.3% and 20%, respectively. The Val/Val and Met/Met genotyping rates for athletes engaged in intensive training were 32.6% and 29.3%. In conclusion, no significant relationship was observed among TAS scores, the COMT gene polymorphism, and training intensity.

    Balyan, M; Köksal, A; Gönkek, P; Zekioglu, A; Basoglu, UD
    This study it was aimed to examine the emotional intelligence and personality traits of the students who study in different departments of the Faculty of Sport Sciences at Ege University and actively do sports in different sports branches. In total 549 students participated in the study voluntarily. To evaluate the variables of the study, the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale developed by Schutte et al. (1998) and adapted into Turkish by Tatar et al. (2011), and to evaluate personality traits, five-factor personality inventory developed by Somer, Tatar, and Korkmaz (2004) and whose short form was validated and reliable by Tatar (2005) were used. In this study, the data set was SPSS 22.0, and it was completed by using frequency tables, reliability analysis, independent sample t-test, one-way variance analysis, Tukey test, and correlation analysis in analyzes. There is both a significant (p<0.05) and an insignificant (p>0.05) difference between emotional intelligence and subscales of personality according to the department, type of education, average grade, class, gender, age and branches. There is no significant difference between emotional intelligence and personality (p> 0.05). They are independent of each other. As a result, as the concepts of emotional intelligence and personality affect individuals deeply, the main purpose of this study is to find the necessary information with the necessary studies to better understand the students in the sports science faculty. This study is to measure the emotional intelligence and personality traits of the students studying at the Faculty of Sport Sciences at Ege University and to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and personality. We think that it is an important study as it will make a serious contribution to the studies by repeating similar studies and applying them to large sample groups in different fields in different universities and different branches.
