Aim: Functional movement screen (FMS) is a system based on scoring seven movement patterns that form the basis of human movement according to certain criteria. The purpose of this study is to compare the FMS scores of male soccer players who aged 13 years with the FMS scores of male soccer players who aged 17 years. Method: 29 boys who playing football in a football academy were taken to study. Players with any musculoskeletal injuries were not included in the study. FMS evaluation was done by the same tester. Results: The mean of the FMS scores of the 13-year-old participants was 14.07 ± 1.63, and the FMS scores of the 17-year-old participants was 16.60 ± 1.50. The difference between the FMS scores of the two age groups was statistically significant (p <0.05). In addition, the scores of the 13-year-old group were at the limit for risk for musculoskeletal injury according to this scoring system. Conclusion: Considering the findings, it can be concluded that male children playing football at the age of 13 are more vulnerable to musculoskeletal injuries than those of 17 years old

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships in between isometric muscles strength of trunk and leg with health-related quality of life and balance in elderly persons. Material and Method: Total 16 nursing home residents (13 men and three women; mean age: 73,31±5,61 years) with normal cognition were included in this study. All of elders could walk independently without the use of assistive devices. The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), MiniMental State Examination (MMSE-E), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and hand-held dynamometer isometric strength measurements to the flexor and extensor muscles of trunk, hip, knee, ankle were used for evaluations. Normal cognition was determined as MMSE-E=24. The relationships among the measurement results investigated using Spearman correlation coefficients and significance level is accepted as p<0,05. Results: There were not found important relationship in between the results of NHP and BBS with the isometric strength values of the trunk and leg with the exception of the ankle dorsiflexor muscles. The ankle dorsi flexion strength was related significantly with total Part I score of the NHP (r=-0.625, p<0.01). and result of the BBS (r=0.509, p<0.05). Conclusion: This result is suggested that muscle-strengthening trainings of elderly people should be included the ankle dorsiflexor exercises.

Aim: Physical activity is defined as the total body movement that occurs with the contraction of skeletal muscles, which increases energy expenditure on the basal level. Regular physical activity contributes to both to health promoting and regulation of body composition by helping to reduce the increased fat mass that brings many diseases. In addition, studies in the geriatric population have shown that regular physical activity improves mental functioning. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a relationship between physical activity status and achievement status of university students. Method: 94 students in Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Health Sciences at first class were included in this study. Participants were evaluated according to age, gender, academic achievement score (AAS), physical activity level, body mass index (BMI). The academic achievement score is based on the grade point average and the level of physical activity is assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form (IPAQ). The obtained data were analyzed with SPSS 21 program. Results: The average age of participants was 20, the average of AAS was 2,54, and the average of BMI was 21,4. According to the rates of BMI, 8,5% is overweight and obese student is absent. The average of AAS of female students is 2,62, and that of males is 2,37. As a result of the statistical analysis, the AAS of female students were significantly higher than male students (p = 0,01).There was no statistically significant relationship between UFAA and AAS. However, there is statistically a weak negative relationship between BMI and AAS. Conclusion: In this study, it is stated that keeping the BMI at the normal limits by increasing the level of physical activity may improve the physical and mental well-being of the students and may positively contribute to their academic achievement.

Nonspesific symptoms as convulsion, headache, vomiting are signs of intracranial abscess in predisposing situations. If diagnosis is late, will be occured neurological damages and mortality. Monitored by pediatric cardiology in our hospital because of double outlet right ventricle, great arterial maltranspositions, s/p pulmoner binding, Eisenmenger sydrome referred from another hospital because of fever, lumbalgia and headache in last 3 days 13 years male patient, general contiditon was moderate and conscious opened. Neurological examination was normal. C-reactive protein:12.3. Cardiomegaly was seen on telecardiography. Blood cultures was taken 3 times per hour for possibility of infective endocarditis, ceftriaxone started. No vegetation on echocardiography.Confusion developed within hours, cranial Computed Tomography filmed for possibility of intracranial abscess,55x45mm, peripheral wide edematous, pushing anterior horn in left lateral ventricle, shift 6mm, concentrated liquid accumulation where on a level with left frontal gyrus,thought abscess.Cranial Magnetic Resonanse was seen pathological signals in left frontoparietale extending to frontobazale,peripheral low signal area and had peripheral hyperintense halo and capsular contrastretention. Patients head was raised,started mannitol,furosemide, 3% NaCl intravenosus to reduce edema,consulted for neurosurgery, abscess was drained. Patient was treated in pediatric intensive care unit after operation. Empirical vancomycin,meropenem,metronidazole started. Intracerebral hemorrhage (16x14mm), abscess (53x29mm), shift (6mm) were seen in operation area on controle.Streptococcus intermedius became in culture of abscesses content, not blood cultures.It was continued antibiotic appro priate from antibiogram. Considering intracranial abscess and doing cranial images who children with congenital heart disease even if no remarkable findings of intracranial pressure increaseas fever height, confusion and vomiting can be life saver.
