    Effect of Wearable Vibration Therapy on Muscle Soreness, Joint Position Sense and Dynamic Balance
    (Ataturk Univ, 2024) Ozmen, Tarik; Contarli, Nurcan; Gunes, Musa; Simsek, Ayse; Yana, Metehan; Dasar, Uygar
    The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of wearable local vibration therapy (VT) on muscle soreness, joint position sense, and dynamic balance in recovery after squat exercise. Twenty males (age: 22.25 +/- 1.97 years) participated in the study. Muscle soreness, joint position sense, and dynamic balance were evaluated before exercise, 24 and 48 hours after exercise. All participants performed six sets of 10 repetitions of squat exercises. VT was applied to one thigh of the participants randomly for 10 minutes after exercise, and the other thigh was determined as the control. The muscle soreness increased significantly for VT (p<.001) and control (p=.014) at 24 hours after exercise. However, there were no significant differences 48 hours after exercise for both conditions (p>.05). No significant difference was found between VT and control (p>0.05). No significant difference was found after exercise at knee joint position sense for both conditions (p>.05). No significant difference was observed between VT and control (p>.05). There was a significant difference between before exercise and 48 hours after exercise at anterior direction of the modified Star Excursion Balance Test for VT (p=.033). A significant difference was found between before exercise and 24 hours after exercise at posteromedial (p=.012) direction for VT. There was only significant difference at posteromedial (p=.028) direction at 24 hours after exercise between VT and control. The wearable local VT after squat exercise did not affect muscle soreness and knee joint position sense. However, local VT contributed to the improvement of dynamic balance.

    Investigation of Injury Anxiety in Cross-Country Skiers
    (Ataturk Univ, 2023) Contarli, Nurcan; Ozmen, Tarik
    The aim of this study is to examine the sports injury anxiety levels in cross-country skiers. A total of 34 athletes (15 girls, 19 boys) with a mean age of 15.24 +/- 2.72 years participated voluntarily in this cross-sectional and descriptive study. The Sports Injury Anxiety Scale was used to detect the sports injury anxiety levels of athletes. When the sports injury anxiety levels of the athletes were compared between the gender, no statistically significant difference was found (p > .05). When the sociodemographic characteristics of the athletes were compared with the sports injury anxiety scale sub-dimension scores, a moderately positive relationship was found between age and re-injury anxiety (p = .045; r = .524) sub-dimension scores. No significant relationship was found between gender, body mass index, year of sport, and sport injury anxiety levels (p > .05). In conclusion, the most common knee, hip, and elbow injuries are seen in adolescent athletes in cross-country skiing, which requires high effort in both upper and lower extremity muscles, and the level of re-injury anxiety may increase in athletes with advancing age. For the continuity of the active sports life of the athletes, intervention methods that will minimize anxiety levels should be used as well as the prevention and treatment of injuries.
