The purpose of this study was to compare the coincidence-anticipation timing and reaction times (RT) of 10- to 14-year-old tennis and table tennis players and examine possible sex differences. 107 (51.4%) tennis and 101 (48.6%) table tennis players participated in this study. Players were compared on coincidence-anticipation timing and reaction time. Tennis players performed with less error in the coincidence-anticipation timing task than table tennis players, whereas table tennis players had lower mean reaction time than tennis players. It was also found that male players made fewer errors in the coincidence-anticipation timing task than their female counterparts.

The mean age of the participants was 21.3 yr. (SD = 1.9). For completed Physical Activity Stages of Change Questionnaire and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, descriptive statistics and chi-squared tests indicated that most Students were at ...
USE OF A SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY-BASED PHYSICAL-ACTIVITY INTERVENTION ON HEALTH-PROMOTING BEHAVIORS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS İnce, Mustafa Levent (SAGE Publications, 2008-12-01) The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a 12-wk. physical activity intervention, based on conceptual discussions and practices of a social cognitive theory on health-promoting behaviors of 62 university students. The intervention Mainly focused on development of self-regulatory skills, social support, and self-assessment of health-related fitness.

Mood, Memory, and Motor Performance and the Severity of Tardive Dyskinesia Gilleard, C. J.; Vaddadi, KS (SAGE Publications, 1986-12) <jats:p> This study tested the hypothesis that the features of tardive dyskinesia were associated with motor slowing, memory impairment, and depressive apathy all of which are considered to characterize the so-called subcortical dementias. In a sample of 48 psychiatric patients all fulfilling research criteria for tardive dyskinesia and without other signs of organic illness age-independent correlations were observed between severity of orofacial dyskinesia and measures of memory, motor performance and mood...
Changes in the global self-concept of women through physical fitness training and group counseling Asci, F. Hulya; Akkok, Fusun (SAGE Publications, 2007-12-01) The purpose was to test whether physical fitness training combined with group counseling was more effective for enhancing self-concept of women university Students than counseling, fitness training, or a control condition. 68 women students (M-age = 21.1 yr., SD = 15) voluntarily participated.

COINCIDENCE-ANTICIPATION TIMING REQUIREMENTS ARE DIFFERENT IN RACKET SPORTS AKPINAR, SELÇUK; Devrilmez, Erhan; Kirazcı, Sadettin (2012-10-01) The aim of this study was to compare the coincidence-anticipation timing accuracy of athletes of different racket sports with various stimulus velocity requirements. Ninety players (15 girls, 15 boys for each sport) from tennis (M age = 12.4 yr., SD = 1.4), badminton (M age = 12.5 yr., SD = 1.4), and table tennis (M age = 12.4 yr., SD = 1.2) participated in this study. Three different stimulus velocities, low, moderate, and high, were used to simulate the velocity requirements of these racket sports. Tennis...
