In this paper, comparison of somatotype characteristics and anthropometric proportional relations of elite wrestlers at the level of styles and weights and, contribution to improvement and orientation of sport is aimed. 57 elite wrestlers took place in the European Championship Preparatory Camp of Turkish National Adults Wrestling Team (31 greco-roman style with 7 light weight, 14 medium weight and 10 heavy weight -with av. height: 168.9 cm. and av. weight: 81.1 kg.; 26 free style with 8 light weight, 12 are medium weight and 6 heavy weight -with av. height: 173.0 cm. and av. weight: 87.9 kg), analyzed in this study. As a result of anthropometric measurements, there are no meaningful differences between free style and greco-roman elite wrestlers both in style and weigh. Wrestlers, as evaluated in somatotype, free and greco-roman styles are characterized as endomorphic mesomorphy, lightweight wrestlers are measured as balanced mesomorphy, medium-weight wrestlers are found endomorphic mesomorphy and heavy-weight wrestlers are characterized as endomorphic mesomorphy. Meaningful difference have found between weights. In spite of there is no differentiate effect of styles for wrestlers, partake in the similar training, nutrition and competition programs from childhood, weight, leaning on differentiates of somatotypes in the frame of the components like height, weight, length of bust and arm etc., emanates differences.

Posture is the most healthy and correct placement of each region in the body when compared to the whole body. The predominantly use of one side of the body disrupts the posture. A bad posture changes the center of gravity of the body and causes chronic skeletal and muscle soreness. It is aimed to determine whether there is a rehabilitative effect of football training that does not require the use of dominant arms on posture asymmetries which may occur in the basketball which requires the use of dominant arm and leg in the study.15 male basketball players who played basketball for an average of 8 years with a mean age of 21.7 ± 1.5 years participated as volunteers. Postures of the subjects were measured with PostureScreen Mobile® before and after 12 week football trainings with lateral and anteriorly taken photographs. SPSS 22 was used program for statistical analysis. While analyzing of data Wilcoxon Test method was used and it is determined as significance level was p<0.05.After 12 weeks of football training, statistically significant differences were found in measurements taken from the anterior and lateral positions on the head, shoulder, ribcage, hip, and knee measured tilts and shifts. Estimated average head weight decreased depending on the posture of the cervical vertebrae and a significant difference was detected. Postures of subjects came close to the correct posture.Basketball is an acycle sport branch that requires the use of muscles on the dominant side. It creates an asymmetric position on the athlete due to this feature; causes shifting and tilts. In order to eliminate postural disorders that occur, the effectiveness of football training that does not require to use of the dominant side of the body has been demonstrated.

By the carried study, it's aimed to expose the effects of 16 weeks swimming exercises of sedentary girl and boys aged 7-13 on anthropometric measurements and somatotype components. In total 114 children, healthy 53 girls, the average age 9.35±2.14 years and 61 boys, the average age 9.56±2.74 years under the summer school joining to swimming lessons participated to this research. Height, body mass, chest, waist and hip circumference measurements and 10 anthropometric measurements of research group necessary for somatotype calculation has taken before and after the 16 weekly swimming program. Somatotype calculations evaluated by Heath-Carter somatotype method. Data tested in p<0.05 significance level via Paired Samples t-Test. With the data obtained before and after swimming exercises, as compared to boys and girls separately, all the data apart from height, medial calf skinfold, waist/hip ratio, mesomorph coefficient in girls and all the data apart from height and waist/hip ratio are significantly different in boys. Somatotype values in preliminary test of girls changed from 4.99-3.64-2.35 to 4.45-3.78-2.8 and of boys changed from 4.67-3.72-2.24 to 3.92-4.15-2.38. The findings of the study show that swimming exercises have effects on the decrease in body mass and increase in muscle mass. Given the characteristics of the investigated age group, the period of preadolescent girls tend to increase the lubrication, swimming exercises to be held in this age group would benefit for weight control and create a healthier future generation. Swimming exercises are important for preventing weight gain and deal with existing problems of technology and inactivated lifestyle especially in the puberty period children.

Turkiye Klinikleri J Sports Sci 2018;10(3):164-74 164 ertebral kolon ön-arka planda yana olan eğriliği ile buna eşlik eden, kendi ekseni etrafında dönmesi sonucunda oluşan bu deformite; vertebral kolondan kaynaklanan sorunlara bağlı olarak yapısal özellikte olabileceği gibi, omurgayı ilgilendiren başka nedenlere tepkisel olarak Skolyozlu Çocuklarda Okul Taramasının Önemi ve Egzersiz Tedavisinin Etkinliği: Literatür Taraması Ö ÖZ ZE ET T Genel olarak "vertebral kolonun frontal düzlemde laterale doğru eğriliği" olarak tanımlanan skolyoz, vücutta fonksiyonel ve görsel bozukluklara yol açan omurga deformasyonudur. Büyüklük, yer, yön ve eğrilik nedenine bağlı olarak sınıflandırılmakta ve tedavi edilmediği takdirde ciddi sağlık sorunları yaşanmasına yol açmaktadır. Erken tanı, zaman içinde oluşacak diğer deformitelerin önlenmesi için çok önemlidir. Risk grubu yaş aralığı 9-15 yıl olan çocuklardan oluşmaktadır, bu yüzden okul taramaları erken tanı için önemlidir. Çalışmada, literatürdeki şu alt başlıklı çalışmalara yer verilmiştir; Bunlar; 1. Skolyozda erken tanı için okul taramalarının önemi, 2. Skolyoz ve antropometrik ölçümler arasındaki ilişki, 3. Egzersizin skolyoz tedavisindeki etkinliği. İncelenen çalışmalardaki ortak kanı, okul taramaları yolu ile büyük populasyonlara ulaşılabileceği, skolyozun erken teşhis edilebileceği ve gerekli önlemlerin zamanında alınabileceğidir. Özel ve amaca yönelik egzersizlerin-genel egzersizlere oranla-skolyoz tedavisinde etkin olduğu ve cerrahi müdahaleyi önleyebildiği ispatlanmaktadır. Skolyoz için okul taramaları ilk ve ortaokullarda bir devlet uygulaması hâline gelmeli; aile, öğretmen ve sağlık kuruluşlarının koordineli çalışmalarıyla toplumsal farkındalık yaratılmalıdır. Erken yaşta fark edilen skolyozun tedavisi için özel rehabilitasyon merkezlerinin kurulması önerilmektedir.
