    Assessment of physical fitness in wheelchair basketball players
    (Turkey Assoc Physiotherapists, 2008) Darilgen, Atinc; Yildirim, Necmiye Un
    Purpose: This study was done to determine the physical fitness levels of wheelchair basketball players. We also aimed to constitute an assessment form for physiotherapists, trainers and other health care assistants. Material and methods: Sixty sportsmen participated in the study. Sportsmen were divided into two groups according to the points they got from IWBF classification system. We evaluated their body composition, upper extremity isometric muscle strengths, hand grip strengths, audio and visual simple reaction times, speed and cardiovascular endurance levels. Results: We could not find a statistical difference between two groups in their sport years, years with disability, training hours, injury percentages, fat percentage, fat weights, lean body mass, grip strengths, right elbow extension, both hands extension and flexion muscle strengths, audio and visual reaction time and speed (p>0.05). We found statistical differences in terms of right and left shoulder flexion, abduction, elbow fiexion, left elbow extension muscle strength tests and cardiovascular endurance levels in favor of higher controlled trunk players (p<0.05). There were positive correlations among weekly training hours and speed, lean body mass, being a player in national team, being injured previously (p<0.05). Conclusion: In the direction of our data we suggest that wheelchair basketball players' physical fitness levels should be evaluated and an individual training program should be planned for each player according to their assessment results.

    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FUNCTIONALITY, PERFORMANCE, REACTION TIME AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE ELDERLY
    (Gunes Kitabevi Ltd Sti, 2011) Yildirim, Necmiye Un; Ozengin, Nuriye; Ozdemir, Ozlem Cinar; Gokdogan, Feray
    Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between functionality, performance, reaction time and the quality of life in the elderly. Materials and Method: The study sample consisted of 98 subjects 65 years of age and over. A survey was conducted to identify their demographic features. Mini Mental State Test was administered to evaluate cognitive functioning levels of the subjects, and their quality of life was evaluated by Nottingham Health Profile. In addition, the lower extremity performance was measured by chair sit-to-stand test, functionality was assessed by stair climb power test, and the reaction time was measured by New-test Reaction Timer. Results: The mean age of the participants was 73.24 +/- 6.10 years. Of the subjects 51% were male, 40% were married and 51% had primary education. A significant negative relation was found between the Nottingham total scores and functionality and performance (p < 0.05), however, no relationship was observed in relation to the reaction times. According to the results of the linear regression analysis, functionality was the most influential variable on quality of life (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Identifying the functional muscle power loss and effects of this loss on quality of life in aging is essential for the elderly.
