Two studies conducted by our Faculty's Exercise and Obesity
Unit were accepted and presented at the 33rd European Congress on Obesity
(ECO2026) held in Istanbul.
At ECO2026, the largest European Congress on Obesity to date
with more than 4,500 participants, one of the studies conducted within
our Faculty was presented as an oral presentation and the other as a poster
presentation. The accepted abstracts were also published in the Obesity
Facts supplement.
The studies, conducted under the supervision of Prof. Dr.
Ummuhan Baş Aslan and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Raziye Şavkın, were presented
by our doctoral students, Specialist Physiotherapist Çilem Dikmen and Specialist
Physiotherapist Büşra Nur Orhan.
Specialist Physiotherapist Çilem Dikmen presented an
oral presentation on age-specific musculoskeletal pain, activity limitation,
and healthcare utilization in women living with obesity.
Specialist Physiotherapist Büşra Nur Orhan presented
a poster on the relationship between regional and cumulative musculoskeletal
symptoms and physical performance in women who are overweight or have obesity.
These studies conducted by our Faculty's Exercise and
Obesity Unit contributed to sharing academic research carried out in the fields
of obesity, exercise, musculoskeletal health, physical performance, and
rehabilitation on international scientific platforms.
We congratulate our faculty members and doctoral students
for their scientific contributions and wish them continued success in their
studies.
