Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı sağlıklı orta yaşlı yetişkinlerde kuvvet ile seçici dikkati ve inhibisyon cevabını içeren kognitif fonskiyonlar arasındaki ilişkinin incelemesidir. Çalışmaya 31 kadın ve 12 erkek dahil edildi (N=43, Yaş: 42.31± 9.76 yıl; Vücut ağırlığı: 71.42±14.85 kg; Boy uzunluğu: 162.33±7.96 cm). Katılımcılar; farklı günlerde kavrama kuvveti, 1 maksimum tekrar Bench press, 1 maksimum tekrar Leg press, 1 maksimum tekrar Long pulley, 1 maksimum tekrar Leg ekstansiyon, 1 maksimum tekrar overhead press and kognitif fonksiyonlar açısından test edildiler. Indirekt 1 maksimum tekrar değerleri Technogym Selection 900 marka ağırlık makinası ve formül vasıtasıyla belirlendi. Katılımcıların dominant taraf kavrama kuvvetleri dijital dinamometre kullanılarak belirlendi. Katılımcıların; seçici dikkatleri d2 testi ve inhibisyon cevapları ise bilgisayar temelli Go/No-Go testi ile belirlendi. Çoklu linear regresyon analizi, katılımcıların kavrama kuvvetleri, 1 maksimum tekrar bench press, 1 maksimum tekrar leg ektansiyon, 1maksimum tekrar leg press, 1 maksimum tekrar long pulley ve 1 maksimum tekrar overhead press değerleri ile kognitif fonksiyon testleri arasında ilişki olmadığını gösterdi. Bu sonuçlara dayanılarak, sağlıklı orta yaşlı katılımcıların kuvvet düzeylerinin, kognitif fonksiyonların göstergesi olamayacağı söylenebilir. Sağlıklı orta yaşlı bireylerde, kuvvet düzeyi ile kognitif fonskiyonlar arasındaki ilişkinin açıklanabilmesi için daha büyük örneklem büyüklü çalışmalar ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır
