Barriers and facilitators of sport activities in adults with congenital physical disabilities: A Systematic Review
Šašek, Vít ; Daďová, Klára (advisor) ; Vařeková, Jitka (referee)
Title: Barriers and facilitators of sport activities in adults with congenital physical disabilities: A Systematic Review Background: Globally, there are over a billion individuals with disabilities in the world. Those individuals may have one or more physical attributes affected by their condition, restricting their access to sports, fitness activities, and physical tasks related to work or household activities. The lack of exercise poses a significant public health concern and may hinder undisputed benefits for physical and psychological of individual well-being. Objectives: The main objective of this thesis was to systematically review available research sources on sport and physical activity participation among adults with congenital disabilities and to identify the barriers and facilitators for such individuals to participate in physical activities and para sport. Methods: Four databases - Medline, PubMed, ERIC and Sportsdiscus were searched using terms: exercise; para sport, training, physical activity, continuous exercise, and the range of congenital disabilities. We employed a blend of MeSH terms specific to the database, free-form text, wildcard characters (employing '*' to truncate words), and Boolean operators ('AND', 'OR'). Only papers published from 2003 were included and the search...

Changes in swimming speed in para swimmers with spastic diparetic form of cerebral palsy using swimming aids
Šašek, Vít ; Prokešová, Eva (advisor) ; Hubená, Kristýna (referee)
Title: Changes in swimming speed in para swimmers with spastic diparetic form of cerebral palsy using swimming aids Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to establish a battery of swimming aids and to determine whether and how these aids affect the swimming speed of individuals with spastic diparetic form of CP in training Methods: In order to determine the use of swimming aids in the Czech Republic, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 6 para-swimming clubs to establish a test battery. The battery of swimming aids was tested in the pool using a modified Critical swimming speed protocol. 4 para swimmers with spastic diparetic CP aged 30 ± 3,08 years at a performance level of at least national championship with sport classification classes S4 to S8 participated in the testing. Results: We established a fifteen-element battery of swimming aids and tested it in the pool. The probands achieved the best results with the pullboy in between the thighs position. They achieved 0.61 to 11.37% faster time on the shorter measured section of CSS protocol than without the aid, and 2.67 to 8.08% faster time on the longer section. The probands' CSS changed by -1.02 to 14.85 % with the pullboy. Keywords: critical swimming speed, swimming, swimming drag, Paralympic classification

Measuring hearth rate of CP diagnosed individuals during swimming load
Šašek, Vít ; Prokešová, Eva (advisor) ; Hráský, Pavel (referee)
Title: Measuring max. hearth rate of CP individuals during swimming load Objectives: The major goal of this thesis is to measure heart rate of swimmers diagnosed with cerebral palsy during swimming load and to determine their CSS. Secondary goal of the thesis is to compare those values with intact population. Methods: In our thesis we tested HRMAX of 4 swimmers (3 men, 1 woman) with cerebral palsy (age 20 to 23 years) using the modified Critical Swimming Speed (CSS) protocol. A sample of probands was chosen out of swimmers participating in KONTAKT bB, swimming academy beyond borders programme. Testing went underway twice. CSS test consists of swimming two different distances with maximum effort. 25 and 100-meter distances (or modified shorter distances) were chosen for the purpose of measuring HRMAX. Sporttester was used for recording. We then compared obtained data with intact population by using substantive significance. Results: Tested values of the probands' HRMAX during CSS test were between 165 to 182 beats per minute. CSS reached 0,3 to 1,0 meters per second. In comparison with the sample of intact population, probands were able to reach the 8,9 % and 17 beats per minute lower level of HRMAX in average. Values of the CSS were averagely 78% lower than the CSS of the intact population sample....
