The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute anaerobic exercise on total sulfhydryl (-sh) and ischemia modified albumin levels in tennis athletes. A total of 28 volunteers, 13 tennis athletes and 15 sedentary individuals aged between 18-30 years, without any health problems and not taking antioxidant supplements, participated in the study. Both groups were instructed to jog at a low tempo, warm-up, gymnastic movements and technical movements of tennis. Subsequently, a tennis match consisting of 2 sets was played. In the study, blood samples were taken from the participants before and after the competition and centrifuged to determine oxidant and antioxidant activities. The separated serum samples were stored under appropriate conditions. Data distribution was checked. Paired samples t-test statistical analysis was used for normally distributed data and Wilcoxon statistical analysis was used for non-normally distributed data. According to the findings of the study, ischemia modified albumin (IMA) values increased in the experimental group before training and did not increase in the control group, while total sulfhydryl (-SH) values did not differ significantly in both experimental and control groups before and after training (p<0.05). As a result, it can be concluded that acute and anaerobic training increases oxidants and negatively affects antioxidant capacity in tennis players.

The video assistant referee application, which has a wide coverage in football in particular, has brought about discussions about its reliability in the public. The purpose of this research is a search for change: to examine the application of foreign video assistant referees in the Turkish Super League.

In this research, we focused on the foreign video assistant referees who took part in the matches from the 32nd week to the 38th week of our football league, in which the Turkish Football Federation's decision to implement foreign video assistant referees was taken in the 2023-2024 season. During the research process, academic publications, newspapers and internet news about VAR application. and the official statements of the Turkish Football Federation have been carefully read and interpreted. Some of the former referees whose opinions were included in our research argue that foreign referees will reduce the pressure on Turkish referees and contribute to more fair management of matches. However, there are also those who think that foreign referees will have a negative impact on the development of Turkish refereeing. While football club coaches think that foreign video assistant referees can contribute to Turkish football, there are also those who argue that this practice will not solve existing problems and may create new problems. In addition, it has been determined that the economic cost of foreign video assistant referee practice may be high, it may reduce the motivation of Turkish referees, and that it is a problem if it is implemented especially in the last part of the season and applied only in certain matches.

In conclusion; There are different opinions about the effects of the foreign video assistant referee practice on Turkish referees in the Turkish Super League. A common point is that there is a consensus on the need for improvements in the video assistant referee application in Turkish football.
