Author: Bc. Nikola Pětíková Title: A compilation of corrective exercises for fixing muscle asymmetries Aim: The aim of this thesis was to compile a set of basic corrective exercises based on literature review and basic principles that may be used as a methodical guide during a creation of compensatory programs under the guidance of a qualified personal trainer in commercial fitness centres. Method: The thesis is prepared as a methodological tool that includes knowledge from literary sources available to the academic public. The theoretical section deals with the most common forms of muscle asymmetries and imbalances mostly prevalent in the general population. The practical section brings the set of the most suitable corrective exercises. Conclusion: The result of this thesis is the methodical tool that may serve as the supplementary material for qualified personal trainers in the process of examining the locomotor system during the client's diagnosis and the subsequent inclusion of corrective exercises in the training plan according to client's personal needs. Key words: fitness studio, personal trainer, diagnosis, muscle imbalance, musculoskeletal system

Title: Effects of a foam roller during stretching Aims: The main aim of the thesis was to compare effects between the foam roller and stretching exercises. Methods: 10 female students aged 23-24 from UK FTVS participated in this study. All the participants were active athletes. The study was realized as a cross-over trial. There was used tensiomyography using the TMG 100 to measure all the participants. The musculus vastus lateralis were tested in both sides. A generalized linear model was used to evaluate the results. Results: The foam rolling tended to better activate muscle before training and statistically significantly accelerated post-load recovery processes compared to normal stretching. Conclusions: The foam roller could be used effectively after sports performance as a tool to accelerate regeneration, thereby enhancing sports performance. Keywords: warm-up, stretching, TMG, tensiomyography
