In this study, it was aimed to determine the prediction level of physical education and sports teachers' interpersonal self-efficacy levels on their time management. For this purpose, data were collected from 220 physical education and sports teachers, 94 of whom were female and 126 were male, working in the city of Batman in the academic year 2019-2020. While 133 of the teachers, whose data were collected, work as permanent teachers, 87 of them work as contracted, substitute or paid teachers. Physical Education Teachers' Interpersonal Self-Efficacy Scale and Time Management Inventory were used as data collection tools. The Physical Education Teachers' Interpersonal Self-Efficacy Scale was developed by Esentiirk et al., consisting of 32 items and three sub-dimensions that are In-School Relationships (ISR), Family Relationships (FR) and Environmental Relationships (ER). The Time Management Inventory developed by Britton and Tassser was adapted to Turkish by Alay and Kocak, and it was arranged by Gozel to be applied to primary education teachers. There are three sub-dimensions of Inventory: Time Planning (TP), Time Attitudes (TA) and Time Wasters (TW). The calculated reliability coefficients show that the data collected regarding the subscales are reliable enough. In the analysis process of the study, stepwise regression analysis was made based on the data related to the sub-dimensions of both scales, and the variables that seem to have not contributed to the model after the analysis were removed from the model. It was determined that ER scores of physical education and sports teachers were a significant predictor of TP scores, but ISR and FR scores were not a significant predictor of TP scores. In addition, it was understood that FR scores and ISR scores of physical education and sports teachers were not a significant predictor of TA, besides, ER scores significantly predicted TA, but the level of prediction was low. On the other hand, it was understood that the ISR score of physical education and sports teachers significantly predicted the TW score, while the other two variables, FR and ER, had no effect on the TW score. these results, some suggestions were given.

The aim of the present study is to examine the burnout level of athletes who are active in individual and team sports according to some of their sportive and demographic characteristics. As sportive qualities, the active sports branch of the participants, the number of weekly training days, the year of active sports and the level of success in sports were taken into consideration while age, gender and educational background were taken as independent variables in terms of demography. The data were collected on a voluntary basis from 168 athletes actively involved in 12 different branches. 116 of the participants are individual and 52 of them are team sports athletes registered to Erzincan Youth and Sports Provincial Directorate and Sportsman Training Center. The Athlete Burnout Questionnaire was used to determine the level of athlete's burnout, which was developed by Raedeke and Smith (2001) and adapted to the Turkish language by Kelecek, Kara, Kazak Cetinkalp and Cook (2016). The questionnaire, consisting of 13 items, had three sub-dimensions: Physical-Emotional Exhaustion (PEE), Sport Devaluation (SD) and Reduced Sense of Accomplishment (RSA). In the current practice, the internal consistency coefficient calculated for the entire scale was.86. The internal consistency coefficients calculated for the sub-dimensions were.86 for (PEE), .50 for (RSA) and.71 for (SD). Since the internal consistency coefficient calculated for the (RSA) sub-dimension was low, it was not included in the analysis and evaluations. Independent t-test and one-way ANOVA tests were used for data analysis. It was found that active athletes' total scores of (PEE), (SD) in Athlete burnout questionnaire (ABQ) were lower in individual sports and women, and were significantly different according to age groups and number of weekly training days. In addition, it was determined that (SD) and ABQ scores in terms of educational background and (PEE) and ABQ scores in terms of active sports year, (PEE) and (SD) scores in terms of level of accomplishment differed significantly. Based on these results, some suggestions were given.

This is the first study to determine the effects of strenght exercises on irisin and correlation of bady composition and irisin. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects on body composition and irisin of static strength exercises with Tera-Bant (R) in elite boxers. 9 volunteered elite male boxers participate in the study who are nonsmokers and did not use any nutritional supplements. Boxers were instructed to perform strength exercises with Thera-Band for 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Blood samples were taken before exercises (resting), after the first exercise (acute) and after 8 weeks following the last exercise (chronic), and measurement of body fats were made at the same time. Irisin levels of blood were examined. Statistical analyses were carried out using the SPSS 22 for Windows. The data were found to not be distributed normally. Thus, Friedman, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney U and Speraman's correlations tests were used. The results were evaluated using an alpha level of .05. Body Fat Percentage (BFP) and Fat Mass (FM) levels of athletes increased, Lean Mass (LM) decreased relatively both after a single session and after 8 weeks. While irisin concentration increased after a single session, (correlation in pre exercise and after a single exercise. Static strength exercise is effective on body fat both acutely and chronically, and effective on irisin only acute. Farther, the body fat and irisin are related to the negative.

Aim; The aim of this research is to examine the effect of eccentric strength and depth jump training on strength, vertical jump and dynamic balance levels of male basketball players. Material and Method; 32 voluntary participants, 15 experimental and 17 control, were included in the research. A training program which includes eccentric strength program (between 70-85% of 1 RM and 3 sets x 8-12 repeat, 1 sec concentric-3 sec eccentric contraction in each repeat) and depth jump (depth jump over boxes of 20 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm between the 2nd and 8th weeks) were included to the preseason basketball training of participants in the experimental group for 8 weeks and as three times a week. Participants in the control group continued their in-season basketball training. Before and after the training period, the balance (Modified Y Balance Test), vertical jump and isometric leg strength of both groups were recorded. Repeated Measure ANOVA was used in the statistical analysis of the obtained data. Findings; When the interaction level between the measurement and group x measurement of the experimental and control group was examined, a statistically significant increase was observed in favor of the experimental group in the right leg modified Y balance test, leg strength, and vertical jump values. According to the simple effect test of the experimental and control group, the qualitative difference in leg strength, vertical jump and right leg modified Y balance test values were statistically significant. While the left leg modified Y balance test was significant in favor of the experimental group, the improvement of the control group was not significant. Result; The obtained results indicate that the eccentric strength training that is included in the preseason training of participants positively affects their performance.
