# Sporeus

> Sporeus is a Turkish-language sports science publication ("Bilimsel Antrenmanın Türkçe Adresi" — the Turkish home for scientific training). It covers exercise physiology, endurance training methodology, and sport-specific performance science, written and maintained by Hüseyin Akbulut, backed by a 5,000+ term glossary and peer-reviewed citations on every substantive article.

Content is evidence-based: articles cite primary literature (peer-reviewed journals, textbooks) rather than summarizing other web content. Site language is Turkish, with a growing English mirror under /en/. Test-protocol articles include measured normative data tables; science articles include full reference lists.
