    Does Working Style Affect the Occupational Balance and Life Satisfaction of Office Workers in Turkey? a Comparison Study
    (Ios Press, 2024) Degerli, Medine Nur Ozata; Aydoner, Selen; Altuntas, Onur; Bumin, Gonca
    BACKGROUND: The coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) has caused various effects, changing people's lives and work styles. During this period, workplaces decided to work remotely, so people spent more time at home. Therefore, workers' personal and work lives were negatively affected. OBJECTIVE: This study planned to compare traditional and remote office workers' occupational balance and life satisfaction in Turkey during COVID-19. METHODS: Google Survey was used for data collection. Three hundred office workers (18-65 years old) from Turkey participated in the study. The occupational balance and life satisfaction levels of participants were assessed using the Occupational Balance Questionnaire (QB-Quest) and Personal Well-being Index-Adult (PWI-A). RESULTS: Data collected were analyzed statistically by the Independent Sample t-test. It was found that the remote office workers had lower levels of occupational balance (p = 0.02; r = -3.317) and life satisfaction (p = 0.01; r = -2.199) compared to the traditional office workers. CONCLUSION: Remote office workers were found to have lower occupational balance and life satisfaction than traditional office workers. In this period, when the way of working changes like COVID-19, it is crucial to determine office workers' occupational balance and life satisfaction and take precautions for their job performance and satisfaction.

    Skeletal Muscle Fatigue Does Not Affect Shooting Accuracy of Handball Players
    (Ios Press, 2019) Akyuz, Beyza; Avsar, Pinar Arpinar; Bilge, Murat; Deliceoglu, Gokhan; Korkusuz, Feza
    BACKGROUND: Shooting accuracy and ball speed are important factors relating to scoring in handball that could be affected by skeletal muscle fatigue. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of muscle fatigue on male handball players' shooting accuracy and ball speed. METHODS: Sixteen elite handball players (M-age = 17.1 +/- 1.7 years) participated in the laboratory and the field-testing sessions. Running speeds equal to 75% of participants' maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) values from laboratory tests were used as the initial velocity for the 30-15 intermittent fitness test (30-15(IFT)) in the fatigue protocol. Participants shot to the target at random visual signals placed behind the target before and after fatigue. In order to measure wrist acceleration and ball speed, an accelerometer and a radar gun are used respectively and numbers of accurate and inaccurate shots also recorded. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between pre-fatigue and post-fatigue protocols in terms of accurate and inaccurate shots, and ball speed. Only wrist acceleration in the Y axis (M-pre(-fatigue) = 33.12, SD = 1.17msec; M-post - fatigue = 34.50, SD = 1.21msec) was affected by the fatigue protocol in inaccurate shots (p = 0.042). CONCLUSIONS: Muscular fatigue does not affect shooting accuracy and ball speed in male handball players.
