Balance is fundamental in sport, especially when there is an opponent. Although balance can be improved with practice, it is highly affected by nervous system disorders, particularly by vestibular disorders and visual impairment. The purpose of this study was to compare static and dynamic balance between normal and hearing-impaired wrestlers. The participants were 52 young male hearing-impaired wrestlers (n=29, age=18.76 +/- 3.54) and normal-hearing athletes (n=23, age=19.09 +/- 2.76) competing at the national level. The static and dynamic balance were measured using the stork test on one foot and the Y-balance test (in anterior, posteromedial & posterolateral directions). MANOVA indicated significant differences between groups (Wilks' L=.284, F-12,F-39-8.21, p<.05, eta(2) =.72). Differences were detected in how long the participant had been active in the sport F(year) (F-1,(50) =145.95, p<.025, eta(2) =.75) and right leg static balance (F-1,F-50 =73.63, p<.025, eta(2) =.60). As for the Y balance test, there was also a significant difference in the anterior direction for the right leg (F-1,F-50=4880.66, p<.025, eta(2) =99) and left leg (F-1,F-50 =3563.87, p<.025, eta(2) =.99). Hearing-impaired wrestlers performed better balance abilities in the dynamic balance test of right and left legs in the anterior direction. In contrast, the amount of time active in the sport and the static balance of the right leg were found better in normal-hearing wrestlers. Being better than normal wrestlers only in the anterior direction of the dynamic balance might be due to the differences related to the directions of the test. Future studies are recommended for investigating the reasons for this difference.

Ranking in professional tennis: age, experience or anthropometric characteristics Söğüt, Mustafa (null; 2017-05-23) ADVANCEMENTS: in equipment, sports medicine and conditioning not only propel modern tennis players to be more athletic and thus raise the importance of body size but also yield longer and successful participation in professional tennis. PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to determine the relations between ranking and age, experience, anthropometric features in professional male (M) and female (F) tennis players and to analyze the discrepancy between the players ranked within the first and second hundr...
METHODOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVENTION WITH FOOTBALL TRAINERS TO IMPROVE COACHING COMPETENCE PERCEIVED BY ATHLETES, SATISFACTION WITH COACH, ENJOYMENT AND INTENTION OF PERSISTING Aleksovska Velickovska, Lence; İnce, Mustafa Levent; Gontarev, Seryozha; Tasevski, Zikica; Todorovic, Miodrag (2021-01-01) Objectives: The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of a coaching intervention on soccer athletes’ perceptions of the coaches’ competencies, enjoyment, satisfaction, and intention to persist in the sport. Equipment and methods:The research was conducted on a sample of 105 young football players aged 10 to 15, drawn from 6 clubs:FC Maribor-Slovenia, FC Pelister-Macedonia, FC Gorica-Croatia, FC Graficar-Serbia, FC Doboj-BiH, FC Zeleznichar-Sarajevo. Focused on coacheffectiveness, coaches from EG rec...
The Effects of Rhythm Training on Tennis Performance Söğüt, Mustafa; Kirazcı, Sadettin (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2012-06-01) Rhythm training is an integral part of sports. The purposes of the study were to analyze the effects of rhythm training on tennis performance and rhytmic competence of tennis players, to compare the improvement levels of tennis specific and general rhythm training and to examine the effects of shorter and longer tempos on rhythmic competence. Thirty university students whose mean score of International Tennis Number (ITN) was 7.3 (+/- 0.9) were divided randomly into three sub-groups: Tennis Group, General R...
How do soccer teams coordinate consecutive passes? A visual analytics system for analysing the complexity of passing sequences using soccer flow motifs Malqui, Jose Luis Sotomayor; Romero, Noemí Maritza Lapa; Garcia, Rafael; Alemdar, Hande; Comba, João L.D. (Elsevier BV, 2019-11-01) The analysis of passing strategies plays a major role in soccer. Soccer managers use scouting, video footage, and soccer data feed to collect information about tactics and player performance. However, the nature of passing strategies is complex enough to reflect what is happening in the match and makes it hard to understand its dynamics. Furthermore, there exists a growing demand for pattern detection and passing analysis popularized by FC Barcelona's tiki-taka. In this paper, we describe a visual analytics...
Evaluation of Image Representations for Player Detection in Field Sports Using Convolutional Neural Networks Sah, Melike; Direkoglu, Cem (2018-08-28) Player detection is an important task in sport video analysis. Once players are detected accurately, it can be used for player tracking, player activity/performance analysis as well as team activity recognition. Recently, convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) became the state-of-the-art in computer vision for object recognition. CNN based methods usually use gray or RGB images as an input. It is also possible to use other image representation techniques such as shape information image and polar transformed sh...
