This study compared the physical and physiological alterations that occurred in male high school and college students as a result of a 6-week endurance training program. Fifty-one students, ages 15 to 21, were assigned to 1 of 3 groups: road (n = 14), sand (n = 19), or control group (n = 18). The 12-min run/walk test, vertical jump (VI), and thigh and calf circumference were measured pre-and posttraining. One-way ANOVA, paired t-test, and Tukey test were used to evaluate the effects of training. Sand runners and road runners had a similar significant (p < 0.05) increase in thigh circumference. Calf circumference increased significantly in sand runners. Both treatment groups showed a similar significant increase in vertical jump. The 12-min run/walk was significantly increased in sand runners. This study shows that a 6-week sand running program may result in the most physiological and performance changes in young men.

Relationship among sprint performance body composition and aerobic power in collegiate people ZİYAGİL, MEHMET AKİF; Cengiz, Asim; Aksoy, Yener (2016-01-01) This study was aimed to investigate relationship among aerobic power, 10 meters and 100 meters sprint running speed, vertical jump and physical properties of male and female adolescents who engaged in regular physical activity. This study consisted of a total of 877 adolescents including 725 male and 142 female. A 12 minutes run for aerobic power test, vertical jump for anaerobic power, 10 meters and 100 meter sprints, body height, body weight, skinfold measurements and body mass index (BMI) assessments wer...
The relationship between physical activity levels and time management skills among selected university students Dinçay, Hülya; Koçak, Mehmet Settar; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2010) The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the physical activity levels and the time management practices of selected university students, and to identify the differences between physical activity levels and time management practices in terms of gender. The subjects of this study were 128 male (55,9%) and 101 female (44,1%) university students from six universities in ıstanbul, Turkey which were selected on a volunteer basis.
