Vácha, Benjamin ; Křivánková, Markéta (advisor) ; Strnad, Pavel (referee)
Title: Comparison of the health effects of shirshasana in popular science literature and in scientific studies Objectives: The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to conduct a detailed analysis and compare the cited contraindications and effects of shirshasana in popular science literature and scientific studies. Methods: The bachelor's thesis utilizes the method of review and comparative analysis in available scientific studies and popular science literature. The selection of scientific articles was carried out from the PubMed database and the web search engine Google Scholar. Results: Popular science literature often presents numerous positive effects of shirshasana on the human body as a whole and on specific organ systems. However, most of these effects lack explanations or scientific evidence. Headstand contraindications are addressed in most popular science books, primarily through simple listing. The number of contraindications, like the effects of shirshasana, significantly varies among different authors. Scientific studies predominantly focus on the general effects of yoga, leaving the effects of shirshasana largely unexplained. The thesis refuted some commonly cited effects, such as increased blood flow to the brain, and highlighted the potential negative impact on the cervical spine, while...

Malá, Adéla ; Semrádová, Ilona (advisor) ; Slaninka, Michal (referee) ; Strnad, Pavel (referee)
The text explains the phenomenon of hope from a phenomenological point of view, i tis an explanation of hope and its understanding in the context of human live. We know hope from a Christian perspective, such as salvation salvation, forgiveness, hope for eternal life. In the postmodern age, human existence has changed and hope needs to be thought through in new contexts. The question arises as to what is really hope. Althought it does not seem important, understanding hope and distinguising it is a condition of well-being of the individual and society. Hope must not be an illusion or a mere daily hope of fulfilling our wishes. Hope is above all action, it is not surrender and resignation. True, transcendent hope is born in deep crisis, pain, abandonment, it comes to us in patience, in the act of acceptance, reconciliation. Hope is an awareness of the future in spite of reality. Hope is perseverance, humility and mystery. Hope is joy, it is a force that comes to us from an unidentifiable place, but it spreads everywhere. Hope also relates to the existence of the whole world, to the responsibility for maintaining the conditions of life on Earth, to the dignified and fully lived life of individuals. Hope as a practical consequence in upbringing and education. The phenomenon of hope is analyzed here...

Title: Comparing the feelings of participants in the intensive course of the Feldenkrais method in 2014 and 2016 Background: The Moshé Feldenkrais exercise system - Awareness Through Movement (ATM) uses slow, conscious movements to support motor learning. Exercise not only improves motor patterns, but also improves other body functions, including the psyche. However, there are few research papers that examined the effects on larger scope. Objectives: The aim of the research was to compare the subjective feelings of participants of the intensive ATM courses organized annually at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of Charles University in 2014 and 2016. Methods: In order to achieve the aim of the research, quantitative qualitative comparison of the results of the questionnaire survey from two three-day courses of the Feldenkrais method in 2014 and 2016 was used. The structure of the questionnaires was based on the basic demographic data of the participants, their motivation to take part in the course and the subjective evaluation of the course (benefit from exercise, reduction of pain etc.). Likert scale was used to subjectively evaluate the course (exercise enjoyment, pain reduction, etc.). Results: In 2014, 121 participants attended the ATM course and 99 completed questionnaires were...

Gasior, Michaela ; Strnad, Pavel (advisor) ; Majorová, Simona (referee)
Title of the thesis: The status of sport in primary drug prevention for students in upper primary school. Aim of the thesis: The aim of the thesis is to map the relation of drugs and students of upper primary school and to evaluate the role of sport in drug prevention. Methodology: The project was conceived as a questionnaire survey in which 161 students from 6th to 9th grade of a primary school participated. Data were obtained once in a particular primary school during a special lesson, which took place in all classes at the same time. Conclusion: The results show that there is inclination and the number of opportunities to experiment increasing with the age of students. Despite all the worries of the society about the setup of the young generation, it is possible to state that there is a minimum of really threatened individuals. The bid of drugs is almost unlimited in these days, yet the young people do not get hooked as it could look on the very first sight. The inclination to experience something new is and always has been one of the main characters of adolescence and the role of older generations is to offer alternatives that are more interesting than mere chemically induced changes of consciousness. One of those alternatives is just sport, which is a frequent type of spending leisure time and...
