3. RESULTS

When the data of the participants were examined, it was seen that 148 (81.8%) were male, 33 (18.2%) were female, and the mean age was 21.27 ± 6.72 years (10-45 years). None of the participants had been smoking.
The mean ± SD of QTc (msn), QRS (msn) and PR (msn) were 392.55 ± 21.94; 85,31 ± 10,14 and 133,02 ± 17,50, respectively. The mean ± SD of systolic and diastolic blood pressure were 102.63 ± 12.07 and 65.45 ± 8.30, respectively. Descriptive statistics of numerical variables are given in Table 1.
When the distribution of the participants was examined according to their sports branch, it was seen that football was the most preferred branch with 16.6%, followed by volleyball and swimming (Table 2).
As a result of the study, 25 (13.8%) of the participants were identified to be inconvenient in terms of sports. The most common disorders were; triglyceride (n = 12), hemoglobin (n = 3) and TSH (n = 2) elevation. ECG revealed left ventricular hypertrophy and T negativity, left axis deviation, right bundle branch block, short PR and delta wave and short QT in one athlete.
When the data were compared in terms of the presence of pathology that may pose a risk to health, a statistically significant difference was found in terms of cardiac rate, HDL, LDL, calcium, ALT, diastolic blood pressure, and the number of training times per week, there was no significant difference in other variables (Table 3).
When the categorical variables were compared, a statistically significant difference was found in terms of ventricular hypertrophy, t wave and deviation in cardiac axis (Table 4).
