    Objectives: Today, the attention of all developed and developing countries is on the issue of the physical and mental health of the people of each country. Because of this, scientific people have defined different solutions and programs. One of these explanations is to clarify guidelines for daily regular physical activity. Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that anyone with any physical ability and disability should be completing physical activities as much as possible. Consequently, in the present study, we aimed to understand the amount of participation in physical activity and the health profile of Turkish populations. We hypothesized that the people who live in Istanbul, Turkey have a low amount of physical activity during the day. Material and Methods: The sample size was 1091 adults (M ± SD; aged: 26 ± 10 years; height: 172.34 ± 10.35 cm; weight: 71.51 ± 14.82 kg, body mass index (BMI): 23.9 ± 3.83 kg/m2;), included both genders. The study also included individuals from both rural and urban districts and from different sociodemographic backgrounds. Thus, during the face-to-face interview, people were asked for information such as participation in physical activity, type of physical activity, smoking, and drinking alcohol. Results: The results of the current study show that, unfortunately, the rate of individuals who participate in physical activity is very low and this rate is lower in women than men. Likewise, as previous studies have shown, smoking has a very high rate among young people. Conclusion: Therefore, according to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that a solution should be considered. Culture related to physical activity and a healthy lifestyle should be created for people who can at home, at work, and in open spaces without any financial cost, or only with tools that can find at home to meet the guidelines regarding physical activity levels.

    Training wiser instead of training harder: a Complex Training Program (CPX)
    (Istanbul Gedik University, 2021) Shahidi, Seyed Houtan; Kingsley, J. Derek; Svensson, Michael; Taşkıran, Mehmet Yavuz; Hasssani, Fahimeh
    A Badminton competition at the elite level requires a high combination of neuromuscular function and the involvement of these systems depends on the nature of the sport. This mini-review study aimed to discuss the impact and vital role of complex training programs (CPX) on physiological performance variables. CPX training program is one of the most advanced forms of the sports training program which follows as the combination of traditional weight training exercises immediately with lighter load explosive plyometric exercises, set for set. Previous researchers have shown that the CPX training program has a positive impact on the anthropometric variables, sprint, vertical jump (VJ), and change of direction (COD). The results of the authors recommend the use of CPX to maximize the upper and lower body power. Therefore, many practitioners and coaches are looking to find the best training for optimizing training programs and at the same time reduce the risk of injury. To become an elite badminton athlete, the physiological characteristics requirement is quite specific. Therefore, the authors mentioned that “right training, at the right time, makes you perfect”. In conclusion, this mini-review has revealed that a combination of weight strength training followed by plyometric training is needed during periodization for improving neuromuscular functions.
