    Effects of Aquatic and Land-Based Resistance Training on Body Composition and Functional Capacity in Older Women: An Experimental Study
    (Univ Sonora, 2025) Nalbant, Ozgur; Ercavus, Berre Cagla
    This study investigated the effects of an 8-week aquatic and land-based resistance exercise program on body composition and functional fitness in older women. Forty-five women aged 65 and above were randomly assigned to aquatic exercise (AEG), land-based exercise (LEG), or control (CG) groups (n = 15 each). After dropouts, 33 participants completed the study (AEG = 9, LEG = 14, CG = 10). Intervention groups performed supervised 60-min sessions, three times per week, for eight weeks. Functional fitness was assessed via the Senior Fitness Test battery, Berg Balance Scale, and Tinetti Gait and Balance Assessment; body composition was evaluated using body weight and BMI. Both exercise groups showed significant improvements in strength, flexibility, balance, agility, and aerobic capacity compared to the control group (p < 0.05).The LEG also showed a significant decrease in body weight (p < 0.05), but BMI changes were not statistically significant. No significant improvements were observed in the control group. In conclusion, both aquatic and land-based resistance training enhanced functional fitness in older women, with land-based training having a greater impact on weight reduction. Aquatic exercise may be more suitable for individuals with joint or balance limitations. These findings support the use of multicomponent exercise programs in promoting healthy aging.

    Effects of neuromuscular exercise and dance therapy on physical performance and kinesiophobia in GERIATRICS: A randomized controlled study
    (Elsevier, 2025) Cetinkaya, Ozum; Nalbant, Ozgur; Odemis, Meric; Gulsoy, Hatice
    Background Neuromuscular exercise is a comprehensive training approach encompassing functional movements, proprioceptive training, and perturbation exercises aimed at enhancing balance, muscle activation, and joint stability. Dance therapy, defined as the intentional and rhythmic movement of the body to music, serves as a physical and mental modality for promoting well-being. Objective This study aimed to compare the effects of a physiotherapy-based neuromuscular exercise program and dance therapy on physical performance and kinesiophobia in geriatrics. Methods Fifty-two participants were randomly assigned to either a neuromuscular exercise group (NE; n = 25) or a dance therapy group (DT; n = 27). Both interventions lasted 12 weeks. Assessments included the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) for functional balance, the Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment (TBG) for balance and gait, the 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test (30SSTS) for lower extremity strength and function, the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) for fear of falling, Manual Muscle Testing for muscle strength, goniometric measurements for range of motion (ROM), and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK). Results Functional balance improved significantly only in the DT group. (BBS, p < 0.05). Both groups showed significant within-group improvements in balance (TBG), lower limb function (30SSTS), and proximal muscle strength (MMT) (p < 0.05). Between-group analysis showed significantly higher baseline 30SSTS scores in the NE group (p < 0.05), and no significant differences were observed in fear of falling, ROM, or kinesiophobia. Conclusion Neuromuscular exercise and dance therapy are both safe and effective interventions for improving balance, lower extremity function and proximal muscle strength in geriatrics. Their incorporation into rehabilitation programs may support active aging. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06395779.

    The effect of combined training on players' body composition and their performance in beach soccer
    (Iermakov S S, 2025) Nalbant, Ozgur; Suer, Seyit Ahmet
    Background and Study Aim. Beach soccer is a high-intensity sport requiring a combination of aerobic capacity, strength, agility, and coordination, making training strategies crucial for optimizing performance and physical fitness. Evaluating the impact of specific training regimens can provide insights into effective methods to enhance players' capabilities. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a six-week combined training program on body composition and performance parameters in beach soccer players. Material and Methods: A total of 26 beach soccer players voluntarily participated in the study. The athletes were divided into two groups: an exercise group and a control group. Training programs were implemented for both groups over a period of six weeks. Body composition and performance tests, including sit and reach, 20-meter sprint, vertical jump, long jump, and Illinois agility, were applied to both groups twice: at the beginning of the study and at the end of the six-week training period. The data obtained were analyzed using paired samples t-test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test with the SPSS software. The significance level was set at p < .05. Results. A significant difference was found between the pre-test and post-test results for several variables in the exercise group. These variables included body fat percentage, body fat mass, sit and reach, 20-meter sprint, vertical jump, long jump, and Illinois agility tests (p < .05). Conclusions. These findings highlight the effectiveness of sport-specific combined training in enhancing both physical fitness and athletic performance. Incorporating such programs into the training routines of beach soccer athletes can be a valuable strategy for optimizing their competitive capabilities.
