The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Swiss ball training on (1) knee joint reposition sense (knee proprioception), (2) core muscle strength and (3) dynamic balance in sedentary collegiate students. In this thesis, two different participant groups and two different training methods were used. In order to evaluate the effect of Swiss ball training on knee proprioception and core strength, 3 days per week training was conducted throughout 10 weeks (Study 1). In order to evaluate the effect of Swiss ball training on dynamic balance, 2 days per week training was conducted throughout 10 weeks (Study 2). 60 sedentary university students participated in Study 1. 47 sedentary university students participated in Study 2. The results of the study indicated that Swiss ball training has significant effect on knee proprioception and core muscle strength. For dynamic balance, at the end of the 10-week Swiss ball training, in both groups (Swiss ball and control), dynamic balance scores were improved significantly. Therefore, effect of the Swiss ball training on dynamic balance could not be determined. As a conclusion, an instability training program using Swiss balls with body weight as resistance can provide prolonged improvements in joint proprioception and core strength which would contribute to general health and performance.

Effect of health related fitness physical education intervention on 9th grade students’ health related fitness knowledge, physical activity and physical fitness levels Akıncı, Yasin; Kirazcı, Sadettin; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2014) Purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8-week health related physical education course (HRFPEC) intervention on 9th grade students’ health related fitness knowledge (HRFK) level, physical activity level (PAL) and physical fitness levels. An experimental research design with two groups as HRFPEC and skill based physical education course with 154 students from conveniently assigned classes were measured before and after intervention. While experimental group attended the HRFPEC intervention, c...
Effects of 5 week nordic hamstring strength training on 10-12 years old male basketball players Tansel, Rıfat Baran; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2006) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Nordic hamstring strength training (NHST) program on (1) leg power, (2) vertical jump, (3) and knee proprioception measurements of 10-12 years old male basketball players. Nordic Hamstring Strength Training (NHST) group (N=16), participated in basketball training plus in Nordic hamstring strength training, while the control group (N=11) participated in basketball training only. Subjects were tested before and after 5-week training program for, vert...
Effects of eccentric hamstring training on lower extremity strength and landing kinetics in female recreational athletes Salcı, Yaşar; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2008) The purpose of this study was to display increase in eccentric hamstring strength after 10-weeks training program. Secondly, if such an increase occurred, would this strength change result in altered landing kinetics and improved jumping performance? 27 recreational female athletes assigned into experimental (n = 14) and control (n = 13) groups. Baseline measures of landing kinetics were collected using a force plate, strength data and proprioceptive measurements were evaluated using an isokinetic dynamomet...
Effect of different joint positions, rotator cuff muscle fatigue and experience on shoulder proprioceptive sense among male volleyball players Kablan, Nilüfer; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2004) The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different joint positions, rotator cuff muscle fatigue and experience on shoulder proprioceptive sense among male volleyball players. The participants of the study were 20 experienced (Mage= 20.7 ? 2.8) and 20 inexperienced (Mage= 17.1 ? 1.0) male volleyball players being members of first league volleyball teams. Measurements were made by Biodex System 3 pro (Biodex Medical Systems, Inc., New York, USA) and only dominant extremities were assessed. Shoulder...
Effects of Small-Sided Games Training versus High-Intensity Interval Training Approaches in Young Basketball Players Arslan, Ersan; Kilit, Bulent; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Murawska-Cialowicz, Eugenia; Soylu, Yusuf; Söğüt, Mustafa; AKÇA, FIRAT; Gokkaya, Mine; Silva, Ana Filipa (2022-03-01) This study aimed to investigate the effects of the 6-week small-sided games training (SSGs) vs. high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the psychophysiological and performance responses, and technical skills of young basketball players. Thirty-two male players (age: 14.5 +/- 0.5 years of age) were randomly divided into SSGs group (n = 16) and HIIT group (n = 16) training methods thrice per week for 6 weeks. The players in the SSGs group performed two 5-8 min of 2 vs. 2 with 2 min rest periods, while the ...
