    DETERMINATION OF PHYSICAL FITNESS LEVELS WITH PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE TEST SCORES OF ELDERLY
    (GUNES KITABEVI LTD STI, 2008) Gunay, Mehmet; Senel, Oemer; Karacan, Selma; Colakoglu, Filiz; Cicioglu, Ibrahim; Guzel, Nevin Atalay
    Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the physical fitness level of elderly adults aged 60 years and over stay in public home for aged in Ankara according to their Physical Performance Test (PPT) protocol scores. Materials and Method: A total of 107 elderly adults (50 male, 57 female) who did not have any medical problems to prevent or limit applying PPT protocol, participated in this study voluntarily. The subjects were divided into three age groups as 60-69, 70-79 and 80>. Some physical fitness tests and PPT protocol were applied to the subjects. Results: At the end of statistical analysis of variables, especially in females significant decreases of physical fitness values were indicated through aging process, comparison of sexes indicated that there were significant differences (p<0.05) between males and females on all parameters except blood pressure and resting heart rate. Generally males had better scores, but flexibility scores of 70-79 age group females were significantly higher than scores of males (p<0.05). Also PPT score of females over 80 yrs were significantly lower than the other age groups. Conclusion: Consequently physical fitness level decreases through aging and these deficiency were observed in females much more than males.

    EFFECTS OF WEIGHTED VERSUS STANDARD JUMP ROPE TRAINING ON PHYSICAL FITNESS IN ADOLESCENT FEMALE VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
    (TURKEY ASSOC PHYSIOTHERAPISTS, 2016) Turgut, Elif; Colakoglu, Filiz Fatma; Guzel, Nevin Atalay; Karacan, Selma; Baltaci, Gul
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 12-week standard versus weighted jump rope training on physical fitness tests including anaerobic power, speed, agility and flexibility in female adolescent volleyball players. Methods: Twenty-five female volleyball players were recruited to the study. Participants were randomly separated into three study groups; weighted jump rope training (n=8), standard jump rope training (n=9) and control group (n=8). All participants were assessed at baseline and after 12-week training. Physical fitness was measured by using vertical jump test, 30-meter sprint test, hexagonal obstacle test, zigzag test and sit and reach test. Repeated-measures ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. Results: Comparisons showed that after 12-week training, weighted jump-rope training resulted in higher improvements in anaerobic power (p=0.03) and agility (p=0.003) when compared to control training; and higher improvement in agility when compared to standard jump rope training (p=0.001). In addition, at the end of training, speed and flexibility gains were similar in all groups (p>0.05). Discussion: Weighted jump rope training resulted in higher improvements of anaerobic power and agility in female adolescent volleyball players. The findings of the study provide basic knowledge for developing training protocols for adolescent volleyball players.

    Relationship between body composition and lung function in elderly men and women
    (SPRINGER, 2008) Karacan, Selma; Guzel, Nevin Atalay; Colakoglu, Filiz; Baltaci, Gul
    Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between body composition parameters and lung functions including vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity ( FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second ( FEV1), FEV1:VC ratio, and FEV1:FVC ratio in elderly men and women. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional evaluation of 99 healthy men and women ( aged 60-88 years). Anthropometric and body composition parameters ( including fat mass [ FM], fat-free mass [ FFM] and percentage body fat [%BF]) were evaluated using the skinfold method, and lung function was examined using spirometry. Results: Data analysis showed %BF, body FM and body mass index ( BMI) of women to be significantly higher than men. Also, their body FFM was significantly less than men ( P< 0.05). Lung volume ( P< 0.01) and lung capacity values ( P< 0.05) ( VC, FVC, FEV1, FEV1: VC, FEV1: FVC) of women were significantly less than men. There was a positive significant relationship between the FFM versus FVC and FEV1 values of women and men. A negative significant relationship was demonstrated between body FM, BMI and FVC of all subjects. Conclusion: This investigation showed that women aged between 60 and 88 years had a lower lung capacity compared to men of the same age. Older women were found to have a higher body fat ratio than men, and it was found that increasing %BF and BMI had a negative effect on lung functions in both sexes.
