Background: Aerobic capacity and respiratory efficiency are critical determinants of performance in elite female football, characterized by repeated high-intensity efforts and rapid recovery demands. Halotherapy, involving the inhalation of dry salt aerosol, has been shown to improve pulmonary health; however, its effects on exercise-related outcomes in athletic populations remain insufficiently investigated. This study aimed to examine the effects of a 12-week post-training halotherapy intervention on respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, and aerobic performance in elite female football players. Methods: Twenty-eight elite female football players competing in the Turkish Women’s First League were randomly assigned to a halotherapy group (HG, n = 14) or a control group (CG, n = 14). Both groups completed an identical preseason training program, while the HG additionally performed 45 min halotherapy sessions three times per week in a controlled halochamber. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP, MEP), spirometric parameters (FVC, FEV1, PEF, MVV), and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) estimated using the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 (Yo-Yo IRT1), along with total distance covered. A 2 × 2 mixed-model ANOVA was used to assess time and group × time interaction effects. Results: Significant group × time interactions were observed for MIP, MEP, VO2max, FEV1, PEF, MVV, and Yo-Yo IRT1 performance (p < 0.05), with large effect sizes (ηp2 = 0.269–0.924), favoring the halotherapy group. Forced vital capacity (FVC) increased over time in both groups (p = 0.141), with no significant interaction effect. Changes in the control group were comparatively smaller across most outcomes. Conclusion: Post-training halotherapy was associated with improvements in respiratory muscle strength, ventilatory function, aerobic capacity, and intermittent running performance in elite female football players. These findings suggest that halotherapy may be considered as a complementary, non-invasive strategy to support respiratory and aerobic adaptations. Further research is required to confirm these findings and to clarify the underlying physiological mechanisms. Trial registration: NCT07406386; 6 February 2026.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of high-intensity plyometric training (HIPT) on some parameters in elite soccer players in the U17. Volunteer soccer players were randomly divided into two groups according to their positions: the regular training (RT) group (age: 16.71 +/- 0.47 years; stature: 163.46 +/- 3.31 cm; body weight: 61.04 +/- 1.59 kg) and the HIPT group (age: 16.64 +/- 0.50 years; stature: 165.60 +/- 3.03 cm; body weight: 59.76 +/- 1.92 kg), and each group included five defenders, five midfielders, and four attackers. While the RT group did only routine soccer training, the HIPT group performed high-intensity plyometric training three days a week in addition to routine soccer training. In the study, body weight, stature, sprint (10 m, 30 m, and 40 m), jump (standing long jump, right and left-limb triple hop) and 5-0-5 change of direction speed test measurements of the soccer players were taken. Skewness and Kurtosis values obtained from the pre-test and post-test measurements were calculated to test whether the normality assumption of the study was met. A mixed measure two-way ANOVA test was used to determine the difference between the pre-test and post-test. The significance was set asp < 0.05. The results indicated that 8-week high-intensity plyometric training provided more improvement in measured performance parameters than routine soccer training. As a result, when the data obtained is examined, it can be said that HIPT had better values in sprint, jump, and change of direction parameters, so plyometric training was more beneficial for anaerobic parameters than routine soccer training in children. It is recommended that the trainers make their plans considering these results.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2023Are Functional Trainings Effective On Male Students Of Vocational School Of Health Services?
Söyler, Mehmet; Çingöz, Yunus Emre; Altuğ, Tolga
In this study, it was aimed to examine the effects of functional training applied for eight weeks on the body composition and some physical fitness parameters of male volunteer paramedic students studying at a university's health services vocational schools. In order to determine the effects of functional training applied for eight weeks on body composition (body weight, height, body fat percentage, body mass index), standing long jump, flexibility, push-ups, sit-ups, speed and balance parameters, a pre-test-post-test protocol was applied and the difference between the two measurements was calculated. Normality and T-Tests were used in the analysis of all parameters. Significance was determined at the p

Sever, Mehmet Onur; Söyler, Mehmet; Çingöz, Yunus Emre; Barkin, Emrah
This study investigates the effects of different physical education lesson hours applied to secondary school students on some physical and physiological parameters. A total of 36 secondary school students voluntarily participated in the study: respectively, 18 from Group 1 and 18 from Group 2 (age: 14.94±0.41 / 14±0.34 years; height: 175.22±7.62 / 169.33±6.95 cm; weight: 61.95±9.07 / 56.83±6.33 kg). While Group 1 students received 8 hours of physical education lessons per week, Group 2 students were given 2 hours of physical education lessons according to the Ministry of National Education curriculum. Body weight (kg) and body fat percentage (%) were determined using the Inbody 270 professional body analysis device. A portable dynamic balance device was used to determine the students' balance. The test results were analyzed using the SPSS Statistics software. Non-parametric tests were employed since the data did not show a normal distribution. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to test the significance of the difference in balance and body fat percentage (BFP) level averages between the two independent groups. Upon evaluating our data, it was statistically ascertained that the dynamic balance (Balance) values of Group 1 secondary school students were significantly higher when compared to Group 2 students. However, no statistically significant difference was found in body fat percentage (BFP) values between Group 1 and Group 2. As a result, it is seen that increasing physical education lesson hours in secondary education contributes to some physical development of young individuals.

Söyler, Mehmet; Çingöz, Yunus Emre
Bu çalışma, Elit düzeydeki Yıldız Kadın Boks sporcularının hazırlık kampı atletik performans sürecinde antrenmanlar sonrası oluşan fiziksel ve fizyolojik değerlere etkisinin araştırılması amacı ile yapılmıştır. Araştırmamıza Çankırı ilinin Özel Çankırı Çınar Spor kulübü adına yarışan ve farklı seviyelerde derecesi olan yaşları 14-16 aralığın da elit düzeydeki sporcular katılım sağlamıştır. Gönüllü katılımcılara Teknik Direktör ve antrenörleri nezaretinde antrenman programı hazırlanmış olup seçilen performans parametrelerine yönelik değişimleri belirlemek amacıyla sekiz haftalık hazırlık kampı öncesinde ön test ve kamp sonrasında turnuvaya bir gün kala ise son test uygulanmıştır. Testlerde katılımcılara antropometrik ölçümler, fiziksel performans testleri (dikey sıçrama, durarak uzun atlama, denge testi) ve kuvvete yönelik testler (şınav, mekik, ip atlama, el kavrama) testleri ön test – son test olacak şekilde uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde katılımcıların yaş değişkenlerinin belirlenmesinde frekans analizi; vücut kompozisyonu, fiziksel parametreler için yapılan deneylerin ortalamalarını belirlemek için tanımlayıcı istatistik ve katılımcılara yapılan ön test ve son testteki durumu belirlemek ve aralarındaki ilişkiyi saptamak için Wilcoxon Testi uygulanmıştır. Ip atlama testi dışındaki diğer tüm testler arasında anlamlı farklılığa rastlanırken, ip atlama testinde anlamlı farklılık bulunamamıştır (p>0,05). Sonuç olarak; 14-16 yaş grubu bayan boksörlerde, hazırlık kampına yönelik 8 haftalık atletik performans antrenmanların, boks sporuna özgü bazı spesifik performans testlerinde olumlu yönde etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
