Öğe Effects of game addiction on musculoskeletal system discomfort and mental toughness in e-sport players(Turkish Green Crescent Society, 2022) Kendal, Kübra; Ataç, Amine; Köse, İlkay TuğçeThe aim of this study is to reveal the level of game addiction, musculoskeletal system complaints, and mental toughness and to investigate musculoskeletal system discomfort risk and mental toughness by the addiction level in e-sports players. The population of the study consisted of a total of 204 e-sports players on various platforms in Turkey, 94 of whom were game addicted and 110 were not according to the seven-item Game Addiction Scale. The players were given the Demographic Data Form, the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ), the Cornell Hand Discomfort Questionnaire (CHDQ), and the Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire (SMTQ). In CMDQ and CHDQ parameters, neck (7.55 +/- 18.16 vs. 2.06 +/- 4.26; p =.014), upper back (9.32 +/- 19.41 vs. 3.32 +/- 7.56; p =.024), lower back (12.27 +/- 24.93 vs. 2.75 +/- 5.47; p =.007), hip (2.89 +/- 9.90 vs..88 +/- 2.89; p =.013), right hand B (2.18 +/- 10.34 vs..24 +/- 1.24; p =.005) and F regions (1.76 +/- 3.81 vs..82 +/- 2.96; p =.041) were significantly better in the non-addicted group. In SMTQ, the control sub-dimension (10.68 +/- 3.27 vs. 12.75 +/- 2.67; p <.001) and total scores (36.32 +/- 6.74 vs. 38.46 +/- 7.11; p =.021) were significantly better in the non-addicted group. These findings reveal that as the game addiction score increases, the risk of musculoskeletal system discomfort increases and mental toughness decreases. These results should be taken into account in e-sports players where a sedentary lifestyle is at the forefront.Öğe Investigation of burnout status, self-esteem, communication skills and academic self-efficacy levels of students in online education process in the COVID 19 pandemic(2023) Ataç, Amine; Çorum, Muammer; Çorum, Emine Nur; Pehlivan, Esra; Kunduracılar, ZuhalAim: The study was designed based on the hypothesis that the online education process affected students' communication skills, burnout, self-confidence, and academic self-efficacy during the COVID-19 period. We aimed to investigate students' communication skills, burnout, self-esteem, and academic self-sufficiency in the online education process during the COVID-19 period. Material and Method: In our study, undergraduate students between the ages of 18-25 who are continuing their academic training in Istanbul were included. The burnout level of the participants was evaluated using the Maslach Burnout InventoryStudent Form, self-esteem Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, communication ability Communication Skills Scale, and academic competence using the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale. Results: 220 students were included in the research. 170 males (77.3%) and 50 females (22.7%) who met the inclusion criteria, were analyzed. According to the results of Pearson correlation analysis, a positive moderate correlation (r=0.448, p<0.001) between participants' burnout level scores and self- esteem scores, and a moderate negative correlation was found with academic self-efficacy scores (r=- 0.451, p<0.001). Conclusion: According to other studies in the literature, in our results, students' communication skills and academic self-efficacy are at the forefront during the COVID-19 period of the online education process. It can be said that more research is needed on how to improve communication skills and social interaction to improve academic self-efficacy.Öğe Normative values and calculation formulas of respiratory muscle strength of adults in Turkish society: A population-based study(AVES, 2024) Pehlivan, Esra; Çınarka, Halit; Baydili, Kürşad Nuri; Uyaroğlu, Mehmet Burak; Baştürk, Pınar; Ataç, AmineOBJECTIVE: This study aimed to establish normative values for maximum inspiratory pressure and maximal expiratory pressure in the Turkish population while creating specific equations to calculate these values. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study involved 219 healthy adults, with a minimum of 50 individuals in specific age ranges: 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, and 50–60 years. Each age group comprised at least 25 males and 25 females. Participants were required to be free from health conditions influencing respiratory muscle strength and non-smokers. Measurements of maximum inspiratory pressure and maximal expiratory pressure were recorded for all participants. RESULTS: As a result of the regression analysis performed for the maximum inspiratory pressure values, the model P value was <.001, and the R2 value was found to be 0.261. The equation obtained as a result of the model was: 82.583 ? 3.218 × gender ? 0.093 × age + 9.534 × height + 0.343 × weight. As a result of the regression analysis performed for maximal expiratory pressure values, the model P value was <.001, and the R2 value was found to be 0.285. The equation obtained as a result of the model was: 157.165 ? 35.522 × gender ? 0.271 × age–42.036 × height + 0.787 × weight. CONCLUSIONS: The newly developed equations offer valuable tools for evaluating respiratory muscle strength in the Turkish population. These results confirm the importance of using maximum inspiratory pressure and maximal expiratory pressure to monitor changes in each patient, while also emphasizing the necessity of reliable reference equations.Öğe The effect of stretching exercises applied to caregivers of children with development disabilities on musculoskeletal muscle mobility and respiratory function(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024) Ataç, Amine; Atak, EbrarWe aimed to investigate the effect of stretching exercises applied to the hamstring, one of the posterior muscle chains, on musculoskeletal flexibility, chest mobility, and respiratory function. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and static stretching exercises were applied to 30 healthcare personnel caring for children with developmental delays using a crossover randomized study design. Posterior muscle chain mobility was assessed using the popliteal angle test (PAT) for the hamstring muscle, the mobility of the lumbar muscles was assessed using the Schober test (ST), and the mobility of the posterior chain muscles as a whole was assessed using the finger-to-floor distance test. Chest mobility was measured using chest circumference measurements and lung volumes were measured using the pulmonary function test (PFT). The results showed that stretching exercises applied to the hamstrings led to significant improvements in PAT, ST, and chest mobility in the direction of maximal expiration (p < 0.05), without being superior to each other. Ten males (33.3%) and twenty females (66.7%) who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The mean age of the participants was 26.6 ± 5.9 years, the mean height was 169.53 ± 8.67 cm, the mean weight was 65.26 ± 12.03 kg, and the mean body mass index was 22.58 ± 3 kg/m2. Chest inspiratory mechanics also showed a low positive correlation with posterior muscle mobility (r = 0.381; p = 0.038). There was no significant change in PAT. Within the framework of the myofascial theory, stretching exercises that can contribute positively to the musculoskeletal and respiratory system structures of healthcare professionals can be recommended and encouraged to healthcare professionals.Öğe The impact of different telerehabilitation methods on peripheral muscle strength and aerobic capacity in COPD patients: a randomized controlled trial(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024) Ataç, Amine; Pehlivan, Esra; Karaahmetoğlu, Fulya Senem; Özcan, Zeynep Betül; Çınarka, Halit; Çörtük, Mustafa; Baydili, Kürşad Nuri; Çetinkaya, ErdoğanLung diseases have profound effects on the aging population. We aimed to hypothesize and investigate the effect of remote pulmonary telerehabilitation and motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) methods on the clinical status of elderly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Twenty-six patients were randomly assigned to pulmonary telerehabilitation (PtR) or cognitive telerehabilitation (CtR) groups. The programs were carried out 3 days a week for 8 weeks. The 6-min walk test (6MWT), modified Medical Research Council dyspnea score, blood lactate level (BLL), measurement of peripheral muscle strength (PMS), and electromyography activation levels of accessory respiratory muscles were the main outcomes. There was a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.05) in both groups in the 6MWT distance and in secondary results, except for BLL. Generally, in the mean muscle activity obtained from the electromyography measurement after the program, there were statistically significant increases in the PtR group and decreases in the CtR group (p < 0.05). There was a statistically significant increase in PMS in both groups. An active muscle-strengthening program has the same benefits as applying the muscle-strengthening program to the patient as MI and AO. CtR can be a powerful alternative rehabilitation method in respiratory patients who cannot tolerate active exercise programs.
