Item Analysis of physical activity intensity, alexithymia, and the COMT val 158 met gene polymorphism(Kamla-Raj Enterprises, 2014) Zekioglu A.; Çam F.S.; Mutlutürk N.; Berdeli A.; Çolakoglu M.The researchers investigated the relationship between intense training, the catechol-Omethyltransferase (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 Vall08/158 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 Vall08/158 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. © Kamla-Raj 2014.Item The comparison of personality profiles of sports and non-sports group by six-factor model of personality(Horizon Research Publishing, 2018) Zekioglu A.; Tatar A.; Ozdemir H.Since the HEXACO framework of personality is relatively newer than other models, the number of studies conducted relying on this model is fewer respectively. For this reason, the purpose of the present study is to examine the sports participation and personality relation in non-athlete adults based on the above-mentioned personality model and to compare personality profiles of the individuals who do and who do not engage in sports. The people who agreed to take part in this study were 1013 people in total, 537 of them were female and 476 were male. The main effect in the whole group was statistically significant. When the result is considered for the factors separately, statistically significant differences were detected among the groups for the Honesty-Humility factor, for the Emotionality factor, for the Extraversion factor and for the Openness to Experience factor. The Main Effect was statistically significant in the female group. Statistically significant differences were determined among the groups for the Emotionality factor, for the Extraversion factor, for the Conscientiousness factor and for the Openness to Experience factor. When only the male group was considered, it was determined that the Main Effect was statistically significant. Statistically significant differences were detected among the groups for the Emotionality factor, for the Extraversion factor and for the Openness to Experience factor. When the study is evaluated in general terms, it is seen and can be said that there is a relation between doing sports and personality traits in a Turkish-speaking participant group. © 2018 by authors, all rights reserved.Item Anatolian cultural heritage: Ancient stadiums related to sport or physical culture?(Horizon Research Publishing, 2019) Zekioglu A.; Kalkan N.Anatolia has hosted many civilizations and has made great contributions to the history of humanity in scientific, social and cultural terms. Two of the most important cultures that make up this cultural heritage in Anatolia are Hellenic and Roman culture. The material and intangible cultural heritage of this turnover is still alive in Anatolia, which is home to the Hellenistic and Roman cultures. In our work, we have studied material cultural heritage, stadiums of Hellenistic and Roman culture. The aim of these stadiums is to assess the architecture, culture, lifestyles, social rules of different periods on a case appealing to large communities such as sports. This study, which deals with the effects of the legacies left by the civilizations that lived in the Anatolian geography in the historical perspective of the sport, also aims at shedding light on the sportive activities made at that time at the same time. The stadiums studied in the study include Didyma, Ephesos, Magnesia, Miletus, Priene, Smyrna, Aphrodisias, Labranda, Blaundos, Nysa, Sardeis, Arykanda, Kadyanda, Letoon, Pergamon, Aspendos, Sillyon, Perge, Aizanoi, Laodikeia, Selge are stadiums located in the ancient cities. © 2019 by authors, all rights reserved.Item The relationship between body perception and nutrition of B2 - B3 impaired athletes(Mattioli 1885, 2021) Dalbudak İ.; Balyan M.; Zekioglu A.; Başoğlu U.D.; 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 Hovardaoğlu, 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. © Mattioli 1885
