Proprioceptive information appears to play an important role in stability and movements of shoulder joint in sporting activities especially in tennis. The purpose of this study was to measure the shoulder proprioceptive sense differences between male tennis players and control group, in sitting and standing positions. 15 young male tennis players with a mean age 14.6 +/- 0.7 years and 15 young male sedentary individuals with a mean age 14.8 +/- 0.9 years participated in this cross-sectional descriptive study. Proprioceptive sense was measured with an isokinetic dynamometer. Measurements were made in two positions: 'sitting' versus 'standing' for forehand and backhand positions. Service motion was measured in sitting position. There was no statistical difference between players and non-players in means of age, body height, weight, and BMI. The study revealed the following results: 1) there was a significant difference between shoulder proprioceptive senses of players and controls (p < 0.05). 2) significant difference between dominant and non-dominant shoulders at 15 degrees and 30 degrees was not observed (p < 0.05). 3) no significant difference was observed between sitting and standing positions at 30 degrees (p < 0.05). It was concluded that tennis players had better proprioceptive sense than their age matched sedentary controls.

Shoulder proprioception in male tennis players between ages 14-16 Boyar, Alaaddin; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2006) Proprioceptive information appear to play an important role in stability and movements of shoulder joint in sporting activities especially in tennis. The purpose of this study was to measure the shoulder proprioceptive differences, and assess proprioceptive sense between dominant and non-dominant shoulders between male tennis players and controls between ages 14 - 16. 15 young male tennis players with a mean age 14.6 ± 0.7 years and 15 young male sedentary individuals with a mean age 14.8 ± 0.9 years partic...
The effects of eccentric hamstring training on lower extremity strength and landing kinetics in recreational female athletes SALCI, YAŞAR; Yıldırım, Ahmet; Celik, Ozgur; Ak, Emre; Kocak, Settar; Korkusuz, Feza (IOS Press, 2013-01-01) Hamstring training involving eccentric loading is an important protective factor in hamstring injuries. However, the effect of this mode of training on lower extremity loading in landing maneuver performance is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine variations in eccentric hamstring strength after 10-weeks training program and the possible changes in landing kinetics. Twenty five recreational female athletes were voluntarily assigned to the Nordic Hamstraing Strength Training (N = 13) or control ...
Effects of eccentric hamstring strength training on lower extremity strength of 10-12 year old male basketball players Tansel, Rıfat Baran; SALCI, YAŞAR; Yıldırım, Ahmet; Koçak, Mehmet Settar; Korkusuz, Feza (IOS Press, 2008-01-01) Objective: To investigate the effects of eccentric hamstring training on strength measures and vertical jumping performance.
Supporting learning of practitioners and early career scholars in physical education and sports pedagogy İnce, Mustafa Levent (Informa UK Limited, 2019-07-24) Improving school physical education (PE) practices in the future mainly depends on supporting the professional capital of practitioners' and early career scholars'. In this paper, I aim to present effective strategies to support the human, social and decisional capital of those PE and sports professionals in Turkey. To this end, first, the complex social-ecology of the country-specific PE setting was discussed by using Bronfenbrenner's (1979) social-ecological model. Then, six strategies' that were effectiv...
A Comparison of Serve Speed and Motor Coordination between Elite and Club Level Tennis Players Söğüt, Mustafa (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017-01-01) The purpose of this study was to compare the serve speed and motor coordination of elite and club level junior tennis players aged 11-14 years. Participants (n=35) were assigned to one of the two groups according to their experience, weekly training volume and competition level. Serve speed was assessed with a sports radar gun. Motor coordination was evaluated by means of the Korperkoordinationstest fur Kinder. The main results revealed that serve speed and motor coordination performance levels of the elite...
