Bohata, Pavel ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Kinkorová, Ivana (referee)
Title: Leisure time activities and motor performance among school aged children Objectives: The aim of the thesis is to evaluate a level of motor performance and leisure time activities among school children aged 12 - 14 years, on elementary school Boženy Němcové in Litoměřice. We want to know, if students with extended teaching of music and aesthetics will get worse results compared to students without extended teaching. Methods: Study presents empirical quantitative research and 86 students participate in it. Level of motor performance was determined by the test battery called Unifittest 6 - 60 and structure of leisure time activities was monitored by the part of the sociological questionnaire called COMPASS II. Amount of substucaneous fat was measured by the multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). We werified our hypotheses by the two sample t-test and with coefficient of effect size Cohens'd. Results: On the basis of evaluated results the statistically signifiant diference was not found in all hypotheses between comparator groups with level of significance (p ≤ 0,05). Cohens'd proved only small or no effect size, except for girls in Leger test where we proved medium effect size (d = 0,5). There wasn't signifiant diference in the structure of leisure time activities. Key words:...

The current view of protein intake in power athletes - a review study
Malý, Matěj ; Šteffl, Michal (advisor) ; Petr, Miroslav (referee)
Title: The current view of protein intake in power athletes - a review study. Objectives: Based on literary sources and professional studies, the aim of my work is to work out, systematically organize and compare acquired knowledge in the field of nutrition in power sports, namely the intake of proteins. Methods: The thesis is based on an review study, which, based on a uniform methodology of searching on three professional servers, processes and compares the results of the studies. Conclusion: Most studies coincide with the positive effect of increased protein intake on body composition. However, determining the exact optimal number of proteins taken for strength athletes is an individual matter that depends on many subjective factors. The harmful effects of the long-term professional high-protein diet have not been confirmed as well as its effect on physical performance and regeneration. Keywords: nutrition, high protein diet, resistance training, body composition, regeneration, metabolic response

Change in bodyweight and body composition during the weightlifting training unit and nutrition in strength sports
Vašků, Karolína ; Matoulek, Martin (advisor) ; Petráková Doležalová, Radka (referee)
This bachelor thesis monitors changes in body weight and body composition during training in professional athletes, three women and four men, from the Czech weightlifting team. The theoretical part describes components of the body composition, basic methods and calculations for its assessment. In addition, energy substrates used in weightlifting and sport nutrition basics, including suitable supplements for power athletes, are mentioned. In the practical part, using the bioelectric impedance device, we evaluated the actual body composition and energy needs of individuals in a series of three defined measurements-before training, after training, and after meals. The results of our qualitative research confirm that the energy needs of power athletes are far higher than predicted. We compared the minimum caloric requirement values obtained with the In Body 230 device measurement to those obtained using the Harris-Benedicts predictive equations (HBE), and pointed to significant deviations in basal metabolism calculations and inaccuracy of the results obtained with this equation. In most cases, with HBE, we have experienced undervalue in comparison to the In Body measurement. We have also confirmed the fact that the BMI is not suitable for the weight loss evaluation in weightlifters because of the...

Relationship of body composition to endocrine orbitopathy
Nová, Veronika ; Hána, Václav (advisor) ; Krátký, Jan (referee)
In the theoretical part I briefly introduce the reader to the current state of given topic and describe the function of thyroid gland, how much important it is for our organism and also the possible influence of nutrition on this organ. The next chapters discuss endocrine orbitopathy. Endocrine orbitopathy is a chronic ocular disease, which is frequent in patients with Graves - Basedow disease. I focus not only on the epidemiology and causes of the disease, but also on assessing the severity and treatment of endocrine orbitopathy. The practical part focuses on eating habits and lifestyle of patients with endocrine orbitopathy and assesses the possible effect of body composition on endocrine orbitopathy. At the same time, 4 hypotheses were established. The first hypothesis assumed that higher % body fat and higher BMI may influence the course of endocrine orbitopathy. The second, that nicotine-dependent patients with endocrine orbitopathy predominate over individuals who do not use this addictive substance. In the third hypothesis, I assumed that patients with endocrine orbitopathy would have another associated civilization diseases. And the last, the fourth hypothesis compared the effect of fish consumption on the level of selenium in the blood. To collect data, I used questionnaires inquiring...

Creation and verification of fitness exercise program for a group of trainees in the centre of a healthy lifestyle at PF JU
KŘÍŽ, Martin
The aim of this thesis is to verify a fitness exercise program for a group of trainees attending the academic centre of a healthy lifestyle at PF JU. Anthropometric data, physical fitness and movement patterns were tested and measured. The input and output data were collected on a sample of 12 participants 7 men and 5 women. The fitness program was applied in range of 13 weeks in form of a circuit training with focus on CORE, medical and compensation exercise and fitness development. To evaluate the impact of the intervention program were used indicators of body composition (BMI, WHR and Brock index), functional dynamic test (Ruffier test), deep forward bent test by Thomayer and posture analysis test according to Matthias.

Analysis of the influence of ski training in the first year of the study program PE and Sport at high altitude on the selected students' fitness requirements
KŘÍŽENECKÝ, Daniel
This thesis analyzes the physical predispositions of students from the first grade of the physical education who attended a ski course. This course took place in France. This fact is quite important for the thesis because the course took place in a higher altitude. The main aim of the thesis is to compare results of tested probands before and after the course. At first, there was an information meeting where we provided more information about the aim of this thesis and about the testing. After this meeting we went to KTVS laboratory where the first measuring happened. After that all probands and other students left for the ski course to France for a week. The accommodation was in an Alpe d´Huez center which is situated 1860 meters and the highest point of it which is 3330 meters above the sea level. Probands were practicing in very high altitude all week. In this thesis we also look at how hard it is to work in this altitude, what kind of advantages and disadvantages it might have and which danger might come up. It is also necessary to think about the process of how probands should prepare themselves not to underestimate anything. The second measuring happened after the return to the Czech Republic. It also took place in KTVS laboratory. After the measuring we started analyzing all measured data of probands. We compared this data. After that we realised what this course brought to the students. We wanted to know what happens in following parts: body composition, Wingate test, spiroergometry and spirometry. In each part we were interested in some specific parameters that are related to this topic. We included specific parameters like: body fat, muscle mass, body water, maximum performance, average performance, maximum 5 seconds performance, fatigue index, VO2max, oxygen pulse, minute respiratory volume and vigorous vital capacity.

The optimal body weight
HAIT, Martin
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to determine the optimal body weight of an individual. This bachelor thesis is a summary of knowledge about optimal body weight. This is a preview of the issue of the assessment of physical constitution. The bachelor thesis contains knowledge about nutrition, physical activity, diseases, socio-cultural requirements for physical appearance, body somatotype, body image and psyche. These days, Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to determine optimal body weight. The aim of this work is to emphasize that BMI is not an appropriate tool for assessing optimal body weight. When determining the optimal body weight, more factors should be included instead of just height and weight. It is necessary to also include body constitution when determining the optimal body weight. The thesis emphasizes the differences of professional sport. Some athletes' physique does not correlate with optimal body weigh defined by requirements of society, yet these athletes aren't considered obese. Professional sport isn't truly about optimal body weight, it's more about achieving physique which allows the athlete to give the best performance. Bachelor thesis should enlighten the issue of body weight to the specialists and the public.

Motoric Performance and Somatic Characteristics of Professional Firefighters
RYCHTÁŘOVÁ, Veronika
The aim of the work was to determine the motor performance and the physical dimensions of professional firefighters aged 25-35. From the measured values were selected the basic somatic signs, which were the body height and body weight and the circumferential dimensions from which were chosen chest disturbances, contracted arms, thighs and calves, as well as skin algae, from which the skin algae were selected biceps, triceps, subskapular , quadriceps, forearms and chest. The force of the right and left hand was detected by dynamometry. Bodystat has calculated the BMI, fat, active body mass and body water. The bachelor thesis also shows the values of the Ruffier exam. The findings were compared with the results of previous research.
