Combined strength training is performed with a combination of plyometric exercises and traditional strength exercises. This training method with different protocols (such as complex training or contrast training) is used to develop vertical jump performance in basketball. Combined strength training is based on the theory of PAP, and physiological changes in the nervous musculature allow for acute performance enhancement. Included and excluded studies were determined according to PICOS criteria. The search was performed on the electronic databases of Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus between September 1-7, 2022. The effect of combined strength training on vertical jump performance in basketball was compared with different training methods and as a result, a moderate effect was found in favor of combined strength training (ES=1.11, (95%CI 0.63-1.60), I²= 82%). As a result of systematic review and meta-analysis, it has been found that combined strength training applied in different forms in basketball is superior to other training methods in improving vertical jump performance. On the other hand, there is no superiority between the combined strength training protocols. Athletic performance specialists may improve jump performance by combining plyometric and traditional strength exercises in the same training season.

Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversiteler arası spor müsabakalarına katılan muay thai sporcularının şiddet eğilimlerinin değerlendirilmesine yöneliktir. Araştırmada üniversiteler arası spor müsabakalarına katılan muay thai sporcularının şiddet eğilimlerinin değerlendirilmesi için şiddet eğilimi ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Şiddet eğilimi ölçeği 20 sorudan oluşan likert tipi bir ölçektir. Bu ölçek Öğrencilerin Şiddet Eğilimlerini belirlemek amacıyla Göka, Bayat ve Türkçapar tarafından 1995 yılında Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı tarafından yürütülen “Orta Öğretim Kurumlarında Okuyan Öğrencilerin Saldırganlık ve Şiddet Eğilimleri” adlı çalışmada uygulanmak için geliştirilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde; uygun istatistik programı kullanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasında karşılaştırma yapmadan önce normallik analizi yapılmıştır. Skewness ve kurtisos (çarpıklık ve basıklık ) değerleri -2 ile +2 arasında değer aldığı için değişkenler normal dağılım gösterdiği varsayılmıştır Bu yüzden parametrik test teknikleri olan yöntemler kullanılmıştır. İki farklı bağımsız değişken için independent samples t testi ve ikiden fazla bağımsız değişken için one way anova testi kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin güvenilirliğini belirlemek için cronbach alpha iç tutarlılık katsayısı hesapanmış ve 0,815 bulunmuştur Çalışma grubunu; Üniversiteler arasındaki spor müsabakalarına katılan (55 erkek ve 46 kadın ) muay thai sporcusu oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma sonucunda; mevcut durumun aksine kadın katılımcıların şiddet eğilim düzeyleri erkek katılımcılara göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Bu durum nedeni; hem sporun sahip olduğu mücadeleci yapı hem de müsabaka sürecinde oluşan kaybetme kaygısı kadın katılımcıları şiddet eğilimine sürükleyen nedenler olabilir. Değişkenler arasında anlamlı farklılıklar mevcut değildir (p>0,05).

The study aimed to evaluate global trends by analysing bibliometric data on tennis elbow research indexed in the Web of Science (WOS) and to test the significance of bibliometric trends with statistical methods. The study design followed the BIBLIO checklist protocol to ensure high reporting quality. The WOS database was used to obtain bibliometric data, and 895 research articles meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Bibliometric results were reported with figures, while the statistical significance of the data was assessed using Mann–Kendall trend analysis and Chi-square goodness-of-fit test. Research trends were analysed using Bradford's Law, Lotka's Law, thematic mapping, and factor analysis. There was a statistically significant increase in tennis elbow research over the years (τ = 0.83, p = .01). Baker CL had the most studies compared to the other authors (χ² = 2.74; df = 9; p = .97). The most commonly used keywords were "pain," "management," and "tennis elbow." The factor analysis showed a clear divide between treatment methods and epidemiological studies. The results highlighted a research gap in connecting risk factors with disease prevalence and assessing the effectiveness of specific treatments. Also, the thematic map revealed that studies on tennis elbow have primarily focused on pain management, while surgical treatment and clinical trials remain underexplored. In conclusion, tennis elbow has been extensively researched in the literature for 40 years. Although pain management is the focus, many research gaps must be developed. Current findings may be guiding for field professionals and practitioners.

This study aimed to assess the impact of high-intensity interval training with bodyweight on the physical performance of young female athletes. Thirteen young female athletes participated in the study. Participants performed HIIT with bodyweight three times a week for six weeks, following five months of standardized training. The study examined participants' aerobic and anaerobic performance, including their countermovement jump (CMJ), 30-meter sprint, change of direction (COD), flexibility, weight, and body mass index (BMI). The study was designed as a single-blind, posttest-only, single-group repeated measurement study. All analyses were conducted with a 95% confidence interval, and a significance level was accepted as α = 0.05. The effect size (ES) was calculated according to Cohen's effect size. The study revealed statistically significant differences in all outputs except for BMI (p < 0.05). Bodyweight HIIT had a large to small effect on the following parameters: VO2max (d = 1.48), Illinois COD test (d = 0.93), 30-meter sprint (d = 0.78), CMJ (d = 0.75), flexibility (d = 0.63), BMI (d = 0.62), peak power (d = 0.61), weight loss (d = 0.58), mean power (d = 0.55). The study results indicated that HIIT with bodyweight could improve the performance of young female athletes.

This study aims to adapt the TESTEX scale, which is preferred by researchers who make systematic reviews in the field of exercise and sports, into Turkish in a valid and reliable way. The study was carried out according to the observational research design, which is one of the quantitative research methods, and the study group consisted of five independent language experts and five researchers. The following procedures were carried out for the adaptation of the TESTEX scale to Turkish: (i) Consistency among independent language experts, (ii) Content validity of the TESTEX scale, (iii) Language validity of the TESTEX scale, (iv) Inter-rater reliability, (v) Inter-rater consistency. For statistical analysis of these procedures, Kendall-W agreement coefficient, content validity ratio, content validity index (CVI), Pearson correlation coefficient (r), Fisher'z effect size index (z), intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), and Bland Altman analyses were carried out. Study results showed that the TESTEX scale was adapted to Turkish as valid and reliable. In conclusion, the Turkish version of the TESTEX scale may be preferred to evaluate the methodological quality of research articles in systematic reviews. In addition, researchers can benefit from the quality criteria in the scale to improve the methodological quality of their studies.
