    Changes in Respiratory Muscle Pressure of Healthy Individuals With Different Levels of Immersion in Water: Observational Study
    (Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2023) Gurpinar, Baris; Özyürek, Seher; Elvan, Ata; Tükel, Şermin
    Purpose: Understanding the physiological effects of immersion, particularly on pulmonary dynamics in healthy individuals is important to predict and interpret the physiological responds in unhealthy group. The aim of our study is to evaluate the inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength and cough strength in healthy individuals during water immersion at different water depths. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 24 healthy individuals with the mean age 20.0 years. Respiratory muscle strength test and cough force were tested on dry land and in pool at iliac crests, xiphoid appendix of the sternum and clavicles levels. Measurements were randomized at each level. The Friedman test was used for repeated measures with Wilcoxon signed ranks test with Bonferroni correction was applies to compare the variables. Results: A significant difference between dry land and immersion in water of different levels for MEP (p=0.001) and PEF (p= 0.015). Multiple comparisons showed no difference between levels in PEF (p<0.001), whereas MEP values measured in clavicles level was significantly higher than both dry land and iliac crest level (p<0.0125). Conclusion: Clavicle level immersion alters respiratory muscle strength when compared with the values measured out of the water and immersed at the iliac crest level in healthy individuals.

    Does Texting While Walking Affect Gait's Plantar Pressure Parameters?
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2024) Elvan, Ata; Özer, Mustafa Tahsin
    Background:This study aims to examine the possible effects of mobile phone use on plantar pressure and spatiotemporal parameters during walking. Materials and Methods:Thirty volunteers (18 males and 12 females) participated in the study. A 10-m walking path was prepared, and a messaging connection was established. They were asked to write three posts without word or character mistakes and participants walked on the path walk as much as they wanted on the trail to make sure they were walking at their own pace. The gait's spatiotemporal parameters and plantar pressure parameters were recorded while walking. A paired samples t-test was used to determine whether there was a difference between normal walking and walking while texting. Results:While walking and writing a message, cadence, speed, and step length decreased significantly (P < 0.05). In the plantar pressure parameters, the fore- and midfoot load and pressure were significantly increased (P < 0.05). Conclusions:Compared to normal walking, the forces on the forefoot and midfoot and the pressure per unit area increased in walking while texting. It is thought that the pace of walking slows down, and focus and attention shift to the front of the body.

    The Association Between Mobile Phone Usage Duration, Neck Muscle Endurance, and Neck Pain Among University Students
    (NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2024) Elvan, Ata; Çevik, Şeval; Vatansever, Kivanc; Erak, İlknur
    The mobile phone is essential in daily life, especially during the pandemic. Prolonged use can cause postural issues, leading to common neck pain. This study aims to determine the correlation between mobile phone use duration, addiction, neck muscle endurance, and neck pain in university students. The study included 62 participants (30 female, 32 male) aged 18-35 years. Inclusion criteria required participants to have experienced neck pain at least twice in the past year and to have no other concomitant issues, as well as to volunteer for the study. Demographic information and daily mobile phone usage time were collected. Neck pain was assessed with the Visual Analogue Scale, smartphone addiction with the Smartphone Addiction Scale, and cervical muscle endurance was evaluated. Correlation analysis reveals a moderate relationship between neck pain severity (NPS) and cervical extensor muscle endurance (CEME), a strong relationship between NPS and cervical flexor muscle endurance (CFME), as well as a strong relationship among daily phone usage time (DPUT), CFME, and NPS, with a moderate relationship between DPUT and CEME. Participants were divided into two groups based on their DPUT, revealing that those who used their phone for four hours or more showed significantly higher levels of pain (p < 0.05) and reduced endurance in cervical flexor muscles. Our study found a strong correlation between neck pain, muscle endurance, and daily phone usage. Participants using their phones for more than four hours daily reported increased neck pain and decreased muscle endurance. We suggest integrating phone usage duration into neck pain assessments, promoting ergonomic practices, and offering detailed usage guidelines for users.

    Does Premenstrual Syndrome Affect Physical Activity and Quality of Life? a Cross-Sectional Study
    (2023) Elvan, Ata
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the presence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), physical activity, and quality of life in female university students. Methods: The study was designed as a prospective and cross-sectional study. Female students aged 18-23 studying at university were included. Demographic information, physical characteristics, and information on menstrual period were recorded by a self-reported questionnaire. The menstrual symptoms, physical activity, and quality of life were evaluated by the Premenstrual Syndrome Rating Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF)” and Short Form-12 (SF-12), respectively. The data were analyzed at p<0.05 significance level. Independent samples t-test and chi-square tests were used to determine the statistical difference between groups with and without PMS. Results: 153 randomly selected female students (18-23 years old) (89 with PMS, 64 without PMS) participated in this study. Menstrual duration and pain intensity during menstruation were found to be significantly higher in students with PMS and the presence of menstrual irregularity was found to be significantly higher in students with PMS (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in the level of physical activity between the students with and without PMS. It was found that the quality of life of students with PMS was significantly lower (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was found that PMS reduced the quality of life, but there was no difference in the level of physical activity between the students with and without PMS. It is thought that further studies are needed to determine the physical activity level during the menstrual cycle.
