The influence of physical activity on an active lifestyle in adulthood
KLIMEŠOVÁ, Monika
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the influence of physical activities on active lifestyle in adult age. The objective of this bachelor's thesis was to find out the influence of active childhood on active lifestyle in adult age. According to many important authors such as Olivares, 2015 or Telama, 2005 the biggest influence on active lifestyle in the adult age has pre school and adolescent age. Therefore this work is focused on these two stages of life. The theoretical part is divided into 4 main chapters. Firstly there is a description of basic terms such as physical activity, sport, lack of physical activity and its consequences. The next part divides the age stages in people's lives, significant from the point of creating active movement habits, into pre school age, adolescence and adult age. Besides life stages psychological aspects have a great importance, motivating people towards movement activities. Therefore following terms are defined: motivation, needs and motives, inheritance and upbringing. The conclusion of the theoretical part is devoted to the lifestyle of the current population, describes what active lifestyle and change of active lifestyle mean. Qualitative research survey was used for summarizing the results. Data were gathered using structured interviews carried out with adults aged 40-50. There were 14 interviews made, half of them with men and the other half with women. Based on the answers 8 categories were made and transformed into mind maps, which were subsequently thoroughly described, These two following questions were proposed: Could movement activities carried out during childhood influence the attitude to these activities in adult age? How do respondents evaluate the pros and cons of movement activities carried out during childhood? The interviews were aimed on movement activity of the respondents. The first questions were focused on determining whether the respondents did some sports during their childhood or at least in their youth. Further they were asked who or what led them to sports the most. More than a half stated that their parents led them to sports the most. The second part of the interview gained information leading to solving research questions. There was a presumption that if the person does sport regularly as a child, they will be physically active in adult age. All of the respondents did sports actively in their youth and they do so up to now and they are sure that doing sport in childhood steered them towards an active lifestyle in the present. Therefore the presumption was confirmed. Responds to the second question showed the positive and negative impacts in respondent's childhood. The most mentioned positive ones were positive sporting experiences and meeting friends at the sports grounds. The second most frequent benefit for respondents was their physical condition gained from their regular movement activities. Respondents also mentioned their sporting versatility gained in childhood because they did several sports at the same time and so they have universal skills which they can use while doing sports with friends nowadays. Respondents mostly didn't find any negative aspects of their active childhood. Those who did so mentioned health problems or injuries caused by sport and also less time for socializing. The last part of the interview was focused on current sporting activities. The frequency of physical activities of the respondents was nearly the same as in the childhood. The results of the research show that childhood is a cornerstone of life either physically or psychologically. All 14 respondents claimed that their current active lifestyle was influenced by their childhood based on sports.

The aspects of optimal weekly physical exercise
PROCHÁZKA, Michal
This thesis focuses on the health aspects of physical stress and points to possible problems in the case of no or on the other hand exaggerated physical activity. The work is based on an analysis of Czech and foreign professional literature that relates to the issue of the contemporary physical activity and its health aspects. In this work, I found that the author, who follow up physical activity, concur in the opinion that regular physical activity has many positive aspects (physiological, psychological but also social) on the body, but with prerequisite for the proper dosage. Physical activity may arise injury, or pathological condition associated with hard excercises (overtraining, overvoltage). The authors clearly agree we recommend aerobic activity rate 3-5 exercises per week. The execution time of individual operations depends on the intensity of activities performed. In various publications can be found with different recommendations duration of action, but all authors agree that if the activity is carried out by a lower intensity, it should be longer respectively, less time for intensive activity. Low intensity physical activity should take at least 45 minutes, load of medium intensity 30-60 minutes, high intensity exercise requires a maximum of 20 minutes. The time of exercises is variable with respect to the current state of the individual. It is appropriate to switch between different physical activities, alternating aerobic and strengthening exercises. The most convenient way is the inclusion of two days a week to fitness exercise plan, which will strengthen large muscle groups. In this work, I sort through and systematically elaborated health aspects accompanying physical exercises, pointed to changes in the body corresponding to the use of physical activity.

The theoretical part describes the lifestyle, physical activity and its reccomendation, fitness and adolescents. In the empire part, I analyzed the physical activity using the pedometer Yamax Digiwalker SW-700 and the quality of fitness using the Indares battery tests. The results were analyzed and compared according to physical activity reccomendation and other researchs. It has not been proven that the activity of adolescents is somehow strongly connected with their fitness. On the other hand big differences between pupils were confirmed. More than 3 of pupils comply with the recommended activity, but no more than 1 of participants passed 3 and more fitness tests. The main purpose of this thesis is to describe the ill health and different life style of teenagers, which is still more expensive but does not make the quality better.
