Young judo athletes are bio-banding based on age and body mass and compete in weight classes. The purposes of this study were to investigate the influences of maturation on physical performance in young judokas through controlling the chronological age and body mass, and to examine the mediating role of anthropometric variables. Sixty-seven judokas, aged 11.0-14.7, were measured for 11 anthropometric and seven physical performance variables. Pearson partial correlations were conducted to verify the relationship between the maturational indicator and the dependent variables. Mediation analyses were performed to identify the extent to which anthropometric variables mediate the relationship. The maturation effect remained on the aerobic capacity and handgrip strength (p < 0.05). Fat mass (b = 80.335, 95%CI 11.580-204.270) and fat-free mass (b = 108.256, 95%CI 39.508-207.606) totally mediated the effect on aerobic capacity. Fat mass (b = 0.023, 95%CI 0.004-0.057), fat-free mass (b = 0.029, 95%CI 0.011-0.058), stature (b = 0.031, 95%CI 0.008-0.061), arm span (b = 0.021, 95%CI 0.003-0.044), and inferior members length (b = 0.022, 95%CI 0.005-0.049) totally mediated the effect on handgrip strength. The effect of biological maturation is noticeable even after age and body mass control, being mediated by anthropometric variables related to body composition and size.

Ranking in professional tennis: age, experience or anthropometric characteristics Söğüt, Mustafa (null; 2017-05-23) ADVANCEMENTS: in equipment, sports medicine and conditioning not only propel modern tennis players to be more athletic and thus raise the importance of body size but also yield longer and successful participation in professional tennis. PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to determine the relations between ranking and age, experience, anthropometric features in professional male (M) and female (F) tennis players and to analyze the discrepancy between the players ranked within the first and second hundr...
A Comparison of Serve Speed and Motor Coordination between Elite and Club Level Tennis Players Söğüt, Mustafa (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017-01-01) The purpose of this study was to compare the serve speed and motor coordination of elite and club level junior tennis players aged 11-14 years. Participants (n=35) were assigned to one of the two groups according to their experience, weekly training volume and competition level. Serve speed was assessed with a sports radar gun. Motor coordination was evaluated by means of the Korperkoordinationstest fur Kinder. The main results revealed that serve speed and motor coordination performance levels of the elite...
3d kinematic analysis of three different punches in amateur boxing Düz, Serkan; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2011) The main objective of this study was to determine differences, if any, in three-dimensional (3D) kinematic characteristics of the three principal punches (the jab, hook and uppercut) executed by novice, intermediate and elite level amateur boxers. Specifically, the kinematic variables related to the displacement, linear velocity and acceleration of the upper body segments, translational hand acceleration and vertical ground reaction force generated by boxers were analyzed. The subjects of this study compose...
MODEL-BASED ROUTE PLANNING AND DIFFICULTY ESTIMATION OF INDOOR BOULDERING PROBLEMS Türedioğlu, Mert; Yet, Barbaros; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2023-1-26) Bouldering – a subdiscipline of climbing– is a both mentally and physically demanding sport as it challenges both the problem-solving skills and physical abilities of climbers. In order to be successful, boulder climbers must find fast and accurate solutions to novel climbing problems they encounter. This study focuses on the decision-making processes of climbers when solving boulder problems in an artificial and standardized climbing wall called MoonBoard. MoonBoard is a popular climbing wall that has a la...
Stature: Does it really make a difference in match-play outcomes among professional tennis players? Söğüt, Mustafa (2018-01-01) The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of body height on match-play characteristics among professional tennis players participated in the 2017 Wimbledon Championships. Anthropometric features and 11 match-play statistics of 119 players (male=60, female=59) were obtained from the official web page of the tournament and/or from the ATP and WTA. They were divided into three consecutive sub-groups according to their heights. Results revealed that, regardless of gender, players in the tallest gro...
