    The effect of single-tasks and dual-tasks on balance in older adults
    (Taylor & Francis As, 2017) Sertel, Meral; Sakizli, Elif; Bezgin, Sabiha; Demirci, Cevher Savcun; Sahan, Tezel Yildirim; Kurtoglu, Fatih
    Purpose: This study has been planned to show how the balance is influenced when additional cognitive and motor tasks are given to older people. Methods: 159 older adults (61 Females/98 Males) between 65 and 80 years of age were included in the study. The single and dual task performances of the individuals were evaluated with the Stand on One Foot Test, Time up and Go Test (TUG), and Sit Down-Stand up Test; and the cognitive status was evaluated with the Mini Mental Status Test. The individuals were asked to transfer an object from one hand to the other as an additional motor task during the balance tests; and were asked to count by twos as a cognitive additional task. Results: When the taskless balance performances of the individuals and their dynamic balances during the additional cognitive and motor tasks were compared, it was observed that the duration of completing the test increased at a statistically significant level when both motor and cognitive additional tasks were added in TUG (p < 0.001); and in Sit down-Stand up, Stand on One Foot Tests (right and left), on the other hand, it was observed that the durations of the tests decreased when both additional motor and cognitive tasks were given (p < 0.001). Conclusion: At the end of our study, we observed that the additional tasks given to the older adults decreased the balance performance. We consider that balance trainings must be given together with motor and cognitive tasks to older people.

    The Effects Of Age And Body Mass Index On Flexibility And Balance Performance
    (Turkey Assoc Physiotherapists, 2017) Aydogan Aslan, Saniye; Sertel, Meral; Sahan, Tezel Yildirim; Kurtoglu, Fatih
    Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of age and Body Mass Index (BMI) on flexibility and balance in individuals aged between 18-80. Methods: Four hundred and four (n=404) individuals were included in the study. Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) and Sit to Stand Test (SST) were used in order to evaluate dynamic balance; Sit and Reach Flexibility Test as well as Lateral Trunk Flexion test were used for flexibility. Results: A correlation was found between age, TUG, SST and flexibility values (p<0.05). There was a correlation in a negative direction between BMI, and right-left trunk flexibility tests. There was a correlation in a positive direction between TUG and SST. Conclusion: The increase in age and BMI causes restrictions in daily life activities of individuals by leading to decrease in important parameters that affect their physical fitness such as balance and flexibility.

    Physical activity, depression and quality of life in aging process.
    (Allied Acad, 2017) Sertel, Meral; Arslan, Saniye Aydogan; Kurtoglu, Fatih; Yildirim, Tezel Sahan
    Background: In aging process was to show to change physical activity, depression and quality of life values of individuals aged 18-85. Methods: Four hundred and fifty individuals aged 18-85 who lived in Kirikkale were included in our study after being determined with the Simple Randomization Sample Method. Three hundred and forty one individuals who were suitable for our inclusion and exclusion criteria completed the study. The individuals were divided into 3groups: 142 adults (18-45 aged), 137 middle-aged (45-64 aged) and 62 elderly (>65aged). Quality of life values were measured with Nothingham Health Profile (NHP), physical activity levels of the individuals were measured with 24 h Physical Activity Scale (PAS), depression status of individuals were determined with Beck Depression Scale (BDS). Results: Our study showed that statistically meaningful significance was found when we compared the groups with quality of life and depression. Statistically meaningful significance was specified on PAS measurement in groups with PAS work and sum of PAS variables (p<0.005). There was no difference between PAS and the other variables in groups (p>0.005). Conclusion: In summary, our results point that elderly individuals have a sedentary and depressive life style. In all groups, physical activity habits support physiological wellness state and health-related quality of life by strengthening physical functionality. Because of that, studies on strengthening and encouraging physical activity must be planned.
