Title: Heart rate variability during walking in a forest environment and in a laboratory. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the variability of heart rate during walking in a forest and laboratory environment. Methods: In this study, heart rate was monitored using the Garmin HRM Dual chest strap during a 40minute walk in both natural and laboratory environments. The data were processed using Kubios software, enabling detailed analysis of heart rate variability (HRV). The research included HRV indicators such as RMSSD, SNS, and PNS indices, SD1 and SD2 indices, and a stress index, providing information on sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activity and overall stress levels. This methodology allows for the assessment of organism responses to various stimuli and stressful situations. Results: The average values were as follows: heart rate was 92.5 bpm in the forest and 79 bpm in the laboratory; RMSSD was 21.5 ms in the forest and 34 ms in the laboratory; SD1 was 29 % in the forest and 30 % in the laboratory; SD2 was 71 % in both environments; the stress index was 16.5 in the forest and 10 in the laboratory; the PNS index was -1.835 in the forest and -0.95 in the laboratory; the SNS index was 2.63 in the forest and 0.965 in the laboratory.

An analysis of training load in standard and Latin American ballroom dancing in 10-15 years old children
Bushuev, Timofey ; Gryc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Miřátský, Petr (referee)
Title: An analysis of training load in standard and Latin American ballroom dancing in 10-15 years old children Aims: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to study the intensity of physical activity of dancers during the performance of standard and Latin American dances. The analysis of the intensity of exercise will allow a deeper understanding of the effect of these dances on the human body and provide recommendations for an effective training process for dancers. Young dancers are often unaware that dance can be classified as an anaerobic sport with physiological demands similar to traditional anaerobic sports such as sprinting, swimming and weightlifting. The aim of this study is also to uncover the problems associated with the intensity of physical activity during the training of ballroom dances and to investigate the effect of these dances on the physical preparation of dancers. The research question focuses on the intensity of the dancers' physical exertion and the factors affecting this exertion. The results of the study could assist dance physiologists, physical therapists, and pediatricians in preventing growth-related injuries in young dancers. Methods: respondents were approached through dance studios, clubs and online sources. Data collection was systematic over a two-month period....

Objective: The aim of the work was to analyze how different types of natural environments affect the physical and mental health of individuals. Methods: 7 students of UK FTVS participated in the research. The participants visited the natural environment (blue area) in Prague's Troja and the laboratory in the UK FTVS building. While visiting these environments, they underwent: a 10-minute Stroop test to induce cognitive stress and 40 minutes of walking at a chosen pace. Current mental states and emotions were monitored using the standardized POMS (Profile of Mood State) questionnaire, which was filled in a total of four times during the visit. Results: From the average results of the POMS questionnaire (on a scale of 0-4, 0= not at all, 4= very much), it was obtained that the degree of anger in the laboratory environment was 0.68 and in the blue environment 0.39. Fatigue level 1.17 in lab and 1.19 in water. Depression values in the laboratory 0.67 and in water 0.54. Confusion was 0.88 in the lab versus 0.55 in the blue environment.

Ploček, David ; Přívětivý, Lubomír (advisor) ; Bunc, Václav (referee)
Title: The effect of an intervention exercise program on the physical fitness of unfit soldiers in the 142nd Klatovy repair battalion. Objectives: This thesis examines the effect of a selected intervention program on professional soldiers who do not reach the set standards during the annual physical fitness test. Other sub-goals can look for connections between the established intervention program, the development of endurance abilities and the influence of selected physical parameters. Methods: Content analysis, measurement, methods of mathematical-statistical analysis, comparison, analysis and synthesis were used in this work. Results: The results of the work show that the influence of the selected intervention program is not automatically positive. For more than half of the soldiers, the intervention program did not lead to meeting the standards, even though their physical fitness may have improved.
