Title: Evaluation of the most common injuries and health problems of professional table tennis players Objectives: The main aim of this work is to evaluate the most common injuries and health problems of professional table tennis players in the Czech Republic. Another goal is to determine the level of use of regenerative procedures and compensatory exercises within the training plan of athletes. Methods: The main method used in this thesis was a quantitative research by data analysis from non-standardized questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed among professional table tennis players who participated actively in the district, regional, league or extra league competition in the Czech Republic or abroad in the 2018/2019 season. A total of 374 questionnaires were processed and evaluated, which corresponds to 62,33 % of the total number of sent questionnaires. Results: Of the 374 table tennis players, 240 were injured (197 men, 43 women), which corresponds to 64,17% of the interviewed players. A total of 361 injuries were recorded. The research confirmed four out of six hypotheses. Statistical significance was noted between the injury and sex, and the statistically significant relationship between the injury and the different playing style was confirmed. Most injuries were in the area of the...

The possibilities of physiotherapy in functional disorders of the shoulder girdle table tennis players
TENGLOVÁ, Vendula
This thesis deals with the issue of functional disorders of the shoulder girdle for table tennis players. If there is excessive unilateral load at the playing upper extremity and it is not appropriately compensated, the formation of the muscle imbalances, especially in the area of the shoulder girdle can appear. This overload can occur not only with pain in the shoulder but also in other joints of the upper limb or cervical or thoracic spine. Ensuring adequate compensation can prevent an uneven load and thereby reduce the risk of malfunctions or early termination of a racing career. The aim of this thesis is to map the functional disorders of the shoulder girdle for table tennis players and based on kinesiology examination devise specific physiotherapy procedure and compensation program for table tennis players with functional disorders of the shoulder girdle. The theoretical part deals with the characteristics of table tennis and all related health problems. Further, I describe the anatomy and kinesiology of the shoulder girdle, functional disorders; in the end, I mention diagnostic and physiotherapy for functional disorders of the shoulder girdle. The practical part uses the method of qualitative research through case reports. The study group included two professional table tennis players of Southern Bohemia with functional disorders of the shoulder girdle. Data have been obtained by anamnesis using a structured interview, input and output kinesiological analysis completed by an examination of the shoulder girdle movement stereotypes on surface electromyography. As part of the therapy, I used the soft and mobilisation techniques to release reflex changes and functional joint blocks. I also used a selected therapeutic procedures affecting the present muscle imbalances, improving the stabilisation of the shoulder girdle, affecting movement stereotypes and activate the deep stabilising system. Selected therapeutic procedures have proved effectiveness. In both cases, the pain was reduced, shoulder line symmetrised, stress at the hypertonic muscles reduced and the stability of the shoulder girdle was improved. This work could be beneficial not only for table tennis coaches but also for the players themselves to prevent malfunctions or mitigate them. Furthermore, it can be used in clinical practice for physiotherapists and physiotherapy students.
