    Comparison of Motorcyclists’ Hand Grip Strength and Reaction Time
    (Didactic Asociation Andalucia, 2022) Tekin, D.; Tekin, Demet; Agopyan, A.; Terapi ve Rehabilitasyon Bölümü
    The purpose of this study was to compare hand grip strength and reaction times in male motorcycle racers grouped according to different ages and the classes of motorcycle used and determine the relation between these characteristics. Sixty-five healthy male motorcycle racers were divided into four groups according to their age and the power of the motorcycles’ engine: (Group-1 [G1] = 600-CC/23-34 years; Group-2 [G2] = 600-CC/35-48 years; Group-3 [G3] = 1000-CC/23-34 years; Group-4 [G4] = 1000-CC/35-48 years). Then, Nelson’s reaction time and maximal hand grip strength were measured for both hands. There were no significant differences between the groups’ grip strength (p>0.05). It was found that G1’s right-and left-hand reaction time was faster than that of G2, and G1’s left-hand reaction time was faster than that of G3 (p<0.05). The right-hand visual reaction time was found to have a negative weak correlation with the left-hand absolute grip strength (r=-0.247, p=0.047), and there was a weak positive correlation between the left-hand visual reaction time and height (r=0.315, p=0.011). G1’s right-hand visual reaction time was better than that of G2 (p< 0.001), and G1’s visual left-hand reaction time was better than those of G2 (p< 0.034) and G3 (p< 0.011). Although the absolute and relative hand grip strength values did not differ according to the ages and the engine power of the motorcycle used, it was found that the simple reaction time increased with increasing age. © 2022 Didactic Asociation Andalucia.

    Medical Ethics Assessment Scale for Sports: a New Tool
    (North-West University, Potchefstroom, 2020) Tekin, D.; Tekin, Demet; Agopyan, A.; Terapi ve Rehabilitasyon Bölümü
    The purpose of this study was to develop the Medical Ethics Assessment Scale for Sports (MEASS) and to asses the vison of amateur level competitor athletes, using this scale, about level of compliance with professional ethical principles of their health professionals and the sports medicine organisations with which they come in contact. The study was conducted on 400 participants (nfemale =145; nmale =255) aged 16-35 from different sports. MEASS was constructed with 13 items and three factors: ‘Not harming the patient’s body’, ‘Informing the patient’, and ‘Maintaining patient’s privacy and right to choose care’. The validity value was found to be 0.795. The exploratory factor analysis showed all three factors had eigenvalues greater than 1.0 (55.7% variance). Cronbach‘s Alpha reliability (α) correlation coefficient was 0.725. These results showed that the scale is suitable for factor analysis and reliable. The MEASS can be used as a new measurement tool to evaluate the ethics of health professionals and organisations. The results also demonstrated that athletes feel well-informed and unharmed by their physicians, but would prefer more control over their care choices and how their personal information is used. © 2020, North-West University, Potchefstroom.
