Analysis of the phases of sprint in terms of isokinetic leg strength, anaerobic endurance, and balance İbrahim Halil Şahin, Ali Osman Kıvrak Journal of Men S Health, 2025 Background: The 100 m sprint in track and field is widely used to demonstrate human capacity for extreme speed. However, there is limited research on how isokinetic leg strength, balance, and anaerobic endurance affect specific phases of sprinting. This study aimed to examine their influence on different sprint phases. Methods: A total of 45 men participated in the study and a 100 m sprint test, a three-corner running test, Biodex balance device, and Cybex Humac Norm 2004 device were used to collect data. To ascertain the connection between isokinetic leg strength, anaerobic endurance, general balance, and the different phases of speed, a Pearson correlation test was used. The level of influence of the data acquired for the isokinetic leg strength, anaerobic endurance and general balance on the speed phases was determined using a Linear Regression test. Results: The results indicated that left leg extension peak torque (left LEPT) values affected all phases of sprint except reaction speed (p < 0.05), while left leg flexion peak torque (left LFPT) values affected all phases of sprint except reaction speed and mid-acceleration (p < 0.05). Right leg extension peak torque (right LEPT) values were found to affect all phases of sprint except reaction speed and early acceleration phase (p < 0.05). Moreover, right leg flexion peak torque (right LFPT) values were found to affect all phases of sprint (p < 0.05). General balance score (GB) was found to affect the phases of early acceleration, late acceleration, maximum sprint, and sprint continuity (p < 0.05). Anaerobic endurance (AE) values were found to affect all phases of sprint except reaction speed (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Consequently, all parameters were found to have a significant effect on overall sprint performance but have the most effect, especially in the maximum speed and sprint continuity phase.
A scrutiny on the changes in the self-respect, anxiety, and depression levels of the university students performing individual and team sports Ali Osman KIVRAK, Mehmet ALTIN International Journal of Higher Education, 2019 The objective of this study is to examine the changes in the self-respect, anxiety, and depression levels of the sportspeople studying at various departments of Selçuk University. The study group is constituted by totally 280 university students, 106 of whom doing individual and 174 doing team sports, being 123 females and 157 males. In the acquisition of the data, “Beck Depression Scale, Rosenberg Self-Perception Scale, and Beck Anxiety Scale were used. The diagnostic statistics of the data were conducted and their homogeneity and variances were tested. In the analysis of the data, Independent Samples t test was used and Pearson Correlation analysis was conducted. While no statistical change was observed in line with the age and accommodation factors, statistical significant changes were identified in the case of self-respect, anxiety and Depression levels in line with the gender and the type of sports done (p<0.05). It is contemplated that the changes between the female and male students stem from the cultural structure in addition to the social structure, social responsibility, and duties, and it can be said that the reason for the values of self-respect, anxiety, and Depression in students performing team sports are more positive than those of the students doing individual sports arises from the specific structure of the sportive branches.Keywords: University Student, Anxiety, Self-respect, Depression, Sports
