The purpose of this study was to examine the 27-week COVID-19 induced mobility restrictions on physical fitness in young soccer players at different maturity and training status. The 52 participants were categorized into highly trained (HT, n=27) and recreationally trained (RT, n=25) players. HT consists of sixteen pre-PHV and eleven mid-PHV, RT consists of fifteen pre-PHV and ten mid-PHV players. After measuring anthropometrics, the following selected physical fitness tests were performed: handgrip strength (HG), dynamic balance, standing long jump (SLJ), squat jump (SJ), drop jump (DJ)-reactive strength index (RSI), countermovement jump (CMJ), acceleration (10m), speed (20m), and agility (with and without ball: ZAWB and ZAWHB). The three-way-repeated measures design [2(time: pre, post) x 2(training status: highly, recreationally trained) x 2(maturity status: pre-, mid-PHV)] was utilized to test changes in physical fitness. The results indicate that no significant 3-way interaction (time*maturity*training status), however; significant time*maturity interactions for DJ, SJ, and ZAWB and ZAWHB, and time*training status interactions for 20m and dynamic balance with a tendency for significance for CMJ and HG. Impairments for DJ, SJ, ZAWB, and ZAWHB were greater in mid-PHV players than in pre-PHV players, and impairments for RSI, 20m, SLJ, and N-Y balance were also significantly greater in HT than in RT. COVID -19 induced mobility restriction impaired physical fitness of young soccer players. Depending on the components of physical fitness, the negative effects may be more pronounced in mid-PHV players than in pre-PHV level players and more pronounced in highly trained players than in recreationally trained players.

THE EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY MOBILE APPLICATION USAGE ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL, PERCEIVED HEALTH AND EXERCISE MOTIVATION IN RECREATIONAL ATHLETES Numanoğlu, Elif; Hürmeriç Altunsöz, Irmak; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2021-6) The purpose of this study was to explore the role of physical activity mobile application usage on physical activity level, perceived health, and exercise motivation of recreational athletes. Participants were 245 recreational athletes (89 women and 156 men) between the ages of 18-64 from İstanbul. For the data collection, a questionnaire method was used to gather demographic information and measure physical activity level, perceived health, and exercise motivation of recreational athletes. Quantitative da...
The relationship of self-concept and perceived athletic competence to physical activity level and gender among Turkish early adolescents Asci, FH; Kosar, SN; Isler, AK (2001-09-01) The purpose of this study was to examine the self-concept and perceived athletic competence of Turkish early adolescents in relation to physical activity level and gender. Self-concept was assessed using the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale, and perceived athletic competence was assessed by means of the Athletic Competence subscale of Harter's Self-Perception Profile for Children. In addition, the Weekly Activity Checklist was used for assessing physical activity level. Males and females were assi...
The Relationship between Previous Lower Extremity Injury, Body Weight and Bilateral Eccentric Hamstring Strength Imbalance in Young Soccer Players Isık, Anil; null, null; Unlu, Gurcan; Batin Gozubuyuk, Omer; Aslanyurek, Turgay; Bereceli, Can (Montenegrin Sports Academy, 2018-9-1) This study aims to investigate the effect of lower extremity (LE) injuries on bilateral hamstring eccentric strength imbalance (HSI) and to determine the relationship between body weight (BW) and HSI in young male soccer players. Eighty-eight young soccer players aged 14-19 in Turkey voluntarily participated in this study. Eccentric hamstring strength measurements were taken using a NordBord (R) Hamstring Testing Device. To obtain the LE backgrounds of the participants, individual interviews were administer...

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...
