This study examined physical activity level, sport participation, and parental education level in 333 female and 359 male Turkish junior high school students. Student's physical activity level, sport participation, and parental education level were determined by a questionnaire with three sections. Independent samples t-test results revealed higher physical activity level and chi-square results indicated higher sport participation for boys when compared with girls. In addition significant negative correlations have been found between MET values and father and mother education for the total sample and for female students; however, negative correlations between MET values and parental education were not significant for boys.

Gross motor coordination in junior tennis players
Söğüt, Mustafa (Informa UK Limited, 2016-11-01)
The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to determine the gross motor coordination performance levels of junior tennis players and (2) to analyse the effects of age and gender. Participants were junior male (n=50) and female (n=51) tennis players aged 6-14. Korperkoordinationstest fur Kinder (KTK) was used to assess the gross motor coordination of the participants. Results revealed that none of the participants performed lower than normal level in motor coordination. Besides, 40.6% of the participants per...

Sarıkaya, Serap; İnce, Mustafa Levent; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2016)
The purpose of this study was to examine physical activity level of students and experiences of teachers after the Health-Related Physical Education Reform in secondary schools. Participants were 153 seventh grade students (83 girls and 70 boys) and their physical education teachers (six teachers) from three public secondary schools with limited, moderate and good physical infrastructure for physical education/activity in Ankara.

Evaluation of body composition using three different methods compared to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
Duz, Serkan; Koçak, Mehmet Settar; Korkusuz, Feza (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
In this study, we compared the simple methods of skinfolds, ultrasound, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) against the standard of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in the assessment of body fat in normoactive Turkish male and female university students. We wished to develop new regression equations to more accurately predict percent body fat from skinfolds and ultrasound for this group of individuals. One hundred and four male (age 22.22.5 years; height 1.770.06 m; mass 74.910.4 kg) and one h...
Impact of Social-Ecologic Intervention on Physical Activity Knowledge and Behaviors of Rural Students
CENGİZ, CEVDET; İnce, Mustafa Levent (Human Kinetics, 2014-11-01)
Background: The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of a social-ecologic intervention on health-related fitness (HRF) knowledge and behaviors of students (n = 62) living in rural areas. Methods: A prepost test control group design was constructed. In addition, qualitative data were collected by focus group discussions in the experimental group. Physical activity environment of a middle school was changed based on the social-ecologic model (SEM) with a focus on intrapersonal, interpersonal, com...
Sport Participation and Gender Differences in Rhythmic Ability
Söğüt, Mustafa; Kirazcı, Sadettin (2014-01-01)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the role of sport participation and gender on rhythmic ability. Participants were junior competitive male and female tennis players (n= 31, age= 11.61 year, training age= 4.38 year) and non-active male and female controls (n= 32, age= 12.12 year). The High/Scope Rhythmic Competence Analysis Test (RCAT) was used to evaluate the rhythmic ability of participants. The RCAT was conducted with two different tempos of metronome that were 50 beats per minute and 120 beats...
