Havlíková, Petra ; Mravčík, Viktor (advisor) ; Janíková, Barbara (referee)
Background: Viral hepatitis C (HCV) represents a major public health problem worldwide and also in the Czech Republic. There are as many as 80,000 people have been living with chronic HCV in Czechia since 2015, most of them are/were drug addicts who have been infected by contaminated syringes. Global and national efforts to eliminate HCV are currently underway, focusing primarily on improving the quality of treatment continuity (sustainability, uninterrupted treatment) which involves ensuring the availability of testing for all patients, patients' involvement in their own treatment, sustaining treatment, achieving a response rate and the necessary follow-up care. Objective: To describe the HCV continuum of care in people who inject drugs (mapping testing rate, treatment uptake and treatment completion), and to describe the factors that affect this process. Based on the collected data, to formulate recommendations for addiction care professionals in order to improve HCV continuum of care. Methodology: A questionnaire survey among clients of low-threshold centres in Prague was carried out. The convenient sample consisted of a total of 60 respondents, 20 from each of the three centres. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Data collection was realised in August 2019. Results: Out of the 60...

Comparison of approaches to testing in international exams of English and French language
Burgonová, Nicole ; Klinka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Nováková, Sylva (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with English and French international exams and mainly focuses on how various establishments approach testing candidate's language knowledge. The theoretical part describes the process of creating a test as well as the requirements a quality test should fulfil and what kinds of tasks they might contain. This thesis also focuses on what language skills are and how they can be tested. The second chapter of the thesis introduces chosen establishments and kinds of examinations they offer to potential candidates. Individual exams are analysed in the practical part based on selected sample tests which are available on the websites of each establishment and which are later on compared as well. The results show that even though both establishments and their exams are based on the same document and both focus on testing all four language skills, their approaches to testing differ considerably. That is why this thesis also comments on these differences and aims to offer various alternatives and improvements that could lead to better testing of candidate's language mastery. Lastly, this thesis wants to serve mainly candidates who would be intrigued by these exams as well as teachers who prepare their students for such exams. KEYWORDS English language, French language, testing,...

Hellebrand, Jaroslav ; Bílý, Milan (advisor) ; Lukš, Josef (referee)
Title: Description of selection fitness criteria for selected national teams and dependence of such criteria on performance in a single scull Aim: The main focus of this work is to describe current fitness selection criteria to national teams and ascertain the connection between these criteria and performance in a single scull. Methods: The structure of this thesis is descriptive. The practical part presents the relationship between selected fitness criteria obtained from 11 participants. The relationship is expressed as a correlation coefficient. Twelve values were acquired from each participant, sorted into 3 separate categories. Tests of maximum power (1RM) Endurance tests Rowing ergometr tests Results: It was found that rowing federations select competitors primarily through ergometer testing, namely the tests for 2 km and 5 km or 6 km. Sculling performance is mainly dependent on individual's endurance capabilities with a correlation coefficient of r = 0, 62 and on dead lift with correlation coefficient of r = 0, 64. Power output per unit weight during endurance tests turned out to be irrelevant. So did squatting with added weight (r = 0, 00) and 1500m running (r = 0, 03). Ergometer tests which are characteristic for rowing showed medium correlation (r = 0, 58). Conclusion: None of the...

Title: Comparison of tests endurance of the annual examination of czech soldiers in physical training Goals: The main goal of this work is to compare the values of heart rates during the running test for 12 minutes and 300 metres swimming test. We are mostly interested in the results of subjects, who will accomplish the tests according to standards of the Czech army. Methods: Comparative pair study was realised, using student's pairing t-test, with 14 subjects students of Military physical education at Charles University. T-test was used on changes of the heart rate and energetic changes. Every volunteer, who participated in the testing, accomplished two physical tests: 3000 metres of running and 300 metres of swimming with a week-long distance between them. Heart rate changes were recorded during the tests. Results: It was denied that there were significant statistical differences between the two tests considering the measured heart rate in compared time.

Warming-up and toning in foolball
Slicho, Tomáš ; Jebavý, Radim (advisor) ; Hojka, Vladimír (referee)
Title: Warming-up and toning in football Objectives: The aim of this work is to compare two types of warming-up by footballers. I assume, that the players will have statistically more significant differences after the toning warming-up, than after the static variant. Methods: The research set consists of 17 elite players in the category of U15, who passed four tests by two selected types of warming-ups during a total of three trainings in a field training experiment. In the result part we used the method of analysis to analyze the results of all tests. We used the comparison when comparing the test results after two different types of warming-ups. The measured values were processed by using basic mathematical-statistical methods. Results: The results provide information on the efficiency and difference of toning and static warming-up based on the obtained values of the performed tests. The values of the players in the tests after the toning warming-up were better by 19.1% than after the static variant. The first hypothesis was thus confirmed. The other two were disproved. Summary: We found that toning warming-up has a statistically more significant effect on the results of the tests of football players than the static variant. Keywords: training, testing, analysis, comparison, field training experiment

Bujnovský, David ; Zahálka, František (advisor) ; Votík, Jaromír (referee) ; Zháněl, Jiří (referee)
EFFECT OF THE BASIC MEZOCYKLE TO CHANGE THE GAME CONDITION WITH THE PROGRESSIVE LOAD FOR YOUTH FOOTBALL PLAYERS The aim of this work was to find out whether the use of specific fitness acquisition models (Verheijen, Owen) is more effective as the use of a non-specific model (control group) in elite youth U17 soccer players and whether a player can be equally conditioned in a 4-week period cycle (Owen) compared to a 6-week cycle (Verheijen) or a conventional (non-specific) mesocycle. Methods: The sample consisted of 3 groups of 16 players (n = 48; Age = 16,02±0,78; Height = 178,6±9,8; Weight = 69±10,6; ECM/BCM = 0,8±0,13; FFM = 61,4±9,8). 39 players have completed the whole research and were divided into groups EXP1, EXP2 and KON. The EXP1 group underwent a Verheijen (2000) training program, where large interval games (LSG) also appeared. The sond EXP2 group underwent an intervention program according to Owen et. al. (2012). The third group underwent a training mesocycle with a classic model that was a combination of general and non-specific fitness training. This model consisted mainly of runs (non-specific preparation) and large forms of games at the end of practice. This third group functioned as a control group. Laboratory testing always took place in the Human Movement Laboratory (LSM) of the...

Benešová, Amálie ; Gryc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Prokešová, Eva (referee)
Title: Structural and functional asymmetry in golfers aged 12 - 18 Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the level of body composition parametres, postural stability, muscle shortening and joint mobility of junior golfers and identify and analyze structural and functional asymmetry. Methods: The 14 golfers participated in this study (n=14, age 15,8 ± 1 year, body height 174,5 ± 10 cm, body weight 67,6 ± 13 kg and HCP 5,4 ± 5,9). Body composition including segmental muscle's weight distribution was tested on a bioimpedance instrument Tanita (Japan). Furthermore, the postural stability was examined on the Footscan (Balance 7.6 software) in 4 positions (USOO, USZO, FL_L and FL_P). The kinesiological analysis made by physiotherapist mainly tested muscle shortening and asymmetry using Janda's muscle function tests (1996). The dependence between the measured data was determined by the Pearson coefficient. Results: The average muscle's weight distribution was 2 % higher in the lower right leg, 3,1 % higher in the upper right arm compared with the left limbs. Asymmetry was also found in postural stability (average difference between stability on the right and left lower extremities was 25.9 %). Muscle shortening was found in more than 70 % of probands in hamstrings and quadriceps femoris,....

Title: Determination of the occurrence of poor posture and muscle imbalance of female students agend 15-19 and possibilities of influencing that by elements of health physical education. Objectives: The aim of this study is determination of change in posture and muscle imbalance due to regural health exercise for the period of 3 months Methods: Klein, Thomas and Mayer test method was used to determine posture of each proband. Functional tests of muscles with tendency to shorten were performed according to Bursová (2005), Hošková and Matoušová (2000), Pernicová et al. (1993). Functional tests of muscles with a tendency to become flabby were tested according to Hošková and Matoušová (2000). The method of theoretical analysis and synthesis was used for the chapter "Piece of knowledge" (Štumbauer, 1990). The chapter "Knowledge of data" was processed by Microsoft Office Excel. One-piece non-parametric Wilcoxon test was used to verify the results. Results: In the chapter "Results" we find detailed information about probands, which we have gained from the questionnaire and from a personal interview. Each proband is discussed and evaluated by means of testing posture and muscle imbalance. Keywords: posture, muscle imbalance, muscle balance, testing, tight muscles, flabby muscles, health physical education,...
