The design of compensatory exercises for kitesurfing
Kerzel, Jan ; Kinkorová, Ivana (advisor) ; Kramperová, Veronika (referee)
Title: Design of compensatory exercises for kitesurfing Objectives: The aim of the bachelor thesis is to briefly characterize kitesurfing as a sport, to describe its possible influence on the musculoskeletal system and to create a set of compensatory exercises with and without the use of equipment, including several compensatory programs. Methods: The work was based on the collection and analysis of available information obtained from literature and internet sources. The basis for the selection of the proposed compensatory exercises was professional literature and articles focused on the elimination of muscle imbalances and injury prevention. The design of short compensatory programs was also based on own experience gained during kitesurfing. Results: Based on the available information from literature and articles, it was found that the most common injuries are to the lower limbs, especially the knee and ankle joints, as a result of problems during landing, manoeuvre or jump. Overuse areas include the lumbar spine, abdominal muscles and thighs. Problems related to the safety system, inability to relax and shallow water, which is risky on impact, are usually cited as the cause of trauma and accidents. Keywords: kitesurfing, muscle imbalance, injury, compensatory exercise
"It's just a state of mind" - An Ethnography of Pain and Injury Among Elite Athletes
Korečková, Adéla ; Halbich, Marek (advisor) ; Poděbradský, Oldřich (referee)
The main topic of this thesis is pain and injury. The research on these two phenomena, which are closely related to elite and high performance sports, was conducted in the environment of a training group of elite athletes - throwers. The aim of the thesis is to describe how these researched athletes react and how they experience pain and injury. Pain and injury are two distinct concepts that may or may not occur together. Pain is a more subjective phenomenon, whereas injury tends to be viewed more objectively. Athletes test the limits of the human body in training and competition, and it is very common for both of these phenomena to occur. A culture of risk-taking is also associated with testing the limits of the body, which is also included as a research subquestion in the thesis. In order to gain a more comprehensive view of the researched issue, not only the athletes themselves, but also the coach, sports doctor and physiotherapist were involved in the research. Qualitative methods were used during the research, which consisted of observations, interviews and document-based data.

Vosyková, Julie ; Panská, Šárka (advisor) ; Fořterová, Petra (referee)
Aims: Aim: The main aim is to identify the most common injuries and illnesses in sports gymnastics in men and women. Methods: A non-standardized questionnaire with open and closed questions was used for the research. A total of 92 questionnaires were sent out and 70 completed questionnaires were returned. Results: The results of the bachelor's thesis are information and summaries of injuries and illnesses occurring in sport gymnastics (n=60, ninjuries=55, nillnesses=5. Injuries are more frequent in the training cycle for both men and women and the most common gymnastic apparatus where injuries occur is acrobatics. A positive finding was the increasing percentage of inclusion of recovery and rehabilitation in the training cycle. Conclusion: Injury rates in competitive gymnastics are higher than morbidity rates. The most common mechanism of injury in gymnastics is falls and rebounds. KEYWORDS disease, rehabilitation, artistic gymnastics, sports training, injury
Risk factors of upper limb injuries and the relationship between general physical characteristics and punch force in martial arts
Sidunov, Matěj ; Pádecký, Jan (advisor) ; Šteffl, Michal (referee)
Title: Risk factors of upper limb injuries and relationship between general physical characteristcs and punch force in martial arts. Objectives: The master thesis has two objectives. First, to find out the possible performance and morphological predictors of upper limb fractures in martial arts participants. Second to find out the performance and morphological predictors and their magnitude of punching force. Methods: In our thesis we used a logistic regression to find out the strength of the predictors of upper limb fracture. On the retrospective history of fractures, the participants were asked, if they have had any upper limb fracture. Furthermore, Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression were used for the strength of the predictors of punching forces. Results: We found out, that none of the predictors of upper limb fractures were signiciant. Furthermore, the overall model was not significant as well (p = 0.064, R2 McF = 0.199). Linear regression for the prediction of punching forces was statistically significant (p <0.001, R2 = 0.672). The strongest predictors were handgrip strength and peak concentric fore during a push-up jump (both p <0.05). Keywords: martial arts, mixed martial arts, injury, punching
Možnosti fyzioterapie po frakturách předloktí a ruky
KORBELÁŘOVÁ, Aneta
This bachelor thesis is focused on methods and possibilities that physiotherapy offers to patients after fractures of forearms and hands. It contains informations about the anatomy, characteristics of fractures and subsequent physiotherapy options. The research group consists of three adult patients after a fracture of the forearm and hand. A case report (i.e. research method dealing with description and comparison of similar cases of diseases or injuries) is listed for each of them based on anamnesis and kinesiological analysis. Based on aspect, palpation, and kinesiological analysis, selected probands underwent two months of therapy and a suitable exercise unit was created, which patients regularly exercised at home. After the end of the therapy, an output of kinesiological analysis was written, which, according to obtained values in comparison with the initial kinesiological analysis, confirms a significant improvement in range of motion, mobility and increase in muscle strength of upper limb after the fracture. In patients who initially showed typical elements of poor posture due to the immobility of the injured limb, an improvement in overall posture correction was noticeable after therapy. The aim of this work is primarily to draw attention to the importance of therapeutic rehabilitation after fractures of the forearm and hand. Next, describe the issue of fractures of the forearm and hand and the subsequent possibilities of physiotherapy after removal of fixation. The work can be used as an educational and information material for patients after fractures of the forearm and hand, or for physiotherapists. Another benefit of the work is an educational brochure according to patients after fractures of the forearm and hand can exercise at home as part of autotherapy.
The physiotherapy after soft tissue surgery of the knee joint after injury
ROZŠAFNÁ, Markéta
The bachelor's thesis deals with physiotherapy after soft tissue surgery of the knee joint caused by an injury. The work is divided into two main parts, the theoretical part and practical part. The theoretical part of the thesis first describes the anatomy, function, and kinesiology of the knee joint. The function of the soft tissues of the knee joint - ligaments and menisci - is also explained. Follows the pathophysiology of the knee joint, divided into congenital malformations and soft tissue injuries. At the end of the theoretical part of the work deals with the treatment of meniscus disorders and the treatment of disorders of the fibrous apparatus of the knee joint. The practical part was developed in the form of mixed research. The research group consisted of three probands - adult men aged 45-55 years, who met the conditions of this work. Two patients came to the Center of physiotherapy - Faculty of Health and Social sciences in České Budějovice, where I had the opportunity to work with them. The third patient came from my family and I met him at home. The practical part of the work consists of elaborated case reports of individual probands, input and output examinations, and a description of therapies. This work aimed to determine the effect of physiotherapy in patients after soft tissue injuries to the knee joint. The second goal was to find out how quickly the patient can return to the regime and normal life after the injury, or if there are any differences between the treatment rates of the athletic and non-athletic patients. I met probands regularly for 7-10 weeks, depending on the severity of their injury. The success of the therapy was evaluated according to the objective evaluation of the patient, by comparing the entrance and exit examinations and the subjective evaluation. Thanks to the evaluation of patients, it can be stated that both selected goals were met.
Analysis and prevention of ancle joints injuries in artistic gymnastics
VOBOŘILOVÁ, Dita
This bachelor thesis is about the most common injuries of ankle joint of the foot in women artistic gymnastics. This theses is focussed on the area of ankle joint, importance of foot arch and following ankle injuries of young gymnasts. It appears to be a common phenomenon and it could be a limiting factor of gymnasts performance. The main aim of this thesis is to create a physiotherapy exercise plan for stability of the ankle joint and coordination of movement. Those excercises shlould decrease muscle dysbalances, improve the stability of joints and in the meanwhile help to reduce the amount of ankle injuries. It should also show how often these gymnasts have injuries and what could possibly be the cause. This bachelor thesis is devided into theoretical and practical part. In the theorectical part, there is briefly described history of gymnastics and its development. After that there is a chapter about disciplines of women artistic gymnastics. Next chapters contains most common injurie, describtion of muscle dysbalances and hypermobility. Next chapter is focused on prevention of these injuries and some principles, which are important for reduction of these unnecessary problems connected with chronic overloading and injuries. Practical part of this thesis contains methodology, which was used for processing individual case reports. I had 5 artistic gymnasts, who train on the high competition level. The data where obtained by kinesiological examination, including special testing and examination on posturograph and pedoscope. The key physiotherapy method was somatosenzory stimulation method, exercises for deep mucle stabilitation system and balance aids. I suggested compensatory and stabilisation exercices and created a therapy brochure for gymnasts. After three months the final examination was performed, which is included in results. This bachelor thesis can be used for trainers, sportsmen, but also physiotherapists struggling with this issue.
Blast syndrome from the perspective of paramedic
JAVORSKÁ, Andrea
The topic of this bachelor thesis is: "Blast Syndrome from the Perspective of a Paramedic". The thesis consists of a theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part of the thesis, I focus on the description of the term blast syndrome and the terms of its origin. I also describe the procedures connected to the blast syndrome in not only pre-hospital medical care but also hospital care. I believe that the first aid is equally important and therefore I mention its most crucial elements in the theoretical part of the thesis. The theoretical part also contains a description of the connection between the surroundings and the spreading of a shock wave and the impact of the shock wave on particular body organs. The goal of the bachelor thesis is to examine the knowledge of paramedics concerning blast syndrome. To achieve this goal, three research questions were set down. The research section was elaborated with the use of qualitative inquiry based on semi-structured interviews consisting of fifteen questions. The inquiry assemblage consisted of twelve paramedics. The results of the inquiry show that the paramedics have a basic knowledge of blast syndrome. The respondents were able to explain what a blast syndrome is and how it originates. They also know what injuries they may expect when responding to the patient with blast syndrome and which procedures they have to perform. The data analysis also showed an insufficient theoretical and practical training of paramedics concerning the blast syndrome provided by the employer. This bachelor thesis may serve as study material for students of the paramedic study programme; and also for paramedics already in the field, as a source of information about blast syndrome.
Functional anthropometric changes of trunk position after ankle injuries
ŠVARC, Jiří
This thesis deal with functional changes in trunk position in patients after an ankle injury. Changes in trunk posture are examined on a pelvic position on probands between 4 to 8 weeks after an ankle injury. The result of the work could indicate whether the ankle joint injury affects the position of the pelvis and whether there is a typical pelvic posture after this injury. In the first part of the thesis, I present theoretical knowledge that provides the basis for the research part. I rely on the anatomical structure and kinesiology of the lower limb, the functional connection of the lower limb as a whole, the principles of generalization of functional disorders in the human body, and knowledge about injuries to the ankle joint. The aim of this thesis is to analyze functional anthropometric changes in the position of the trunk after ankle joint injuries, which are evaluated by examining the position of the spina iliaca anterior superior, spina iliaca posterior superior and crista iliaca. The research part is performed by the method of mixed research. The subject of the research is the clinical examination of ten probands after ankle joint injury and statistical evaluation of the obtained data on the position of the pelvis. Results: In all ten probands there was a decrease in at least one observed pelvic structure on the side of the injured ankle joint. Six probands showed a drop in all three structures on the injured side. In the remaining four probands, only the spina iliaca posterior superior of the injured side dropped. Conclusion: All probands after ankle joint injury showed a drop in at least one pelvic structure on the side after an ankle injury. The position of the pelvis was not the same for all probands.
Effects of dance sport in the musculoskeletal system of adult individuals
JANÁČKOVÁ, Iveta
Dance sport is a demanding discipline; to participate in sport dance competitions needs daily training. Injuries and misbalance appear due to a huge strain and many dancers are forced to stop their career prematurely. There is not enough literature about the negative impact of dance sport on the musculoskeletal system available, so I decided to summarize the information. Another problem is an insufficient amount of information about possible compensation and prevention for sport dancers and dance coaches. In the theoretical part of the undergraduate thesis I focused on the description of basic kinesiology and anatomy of the musculoskeletal system, the characteristics of dance sport, and mainly on summarizing the information about the influence of this sport on the musculoskeletal system. The practical part of the undergraduate thesis consists of quality research made on two dance pairs and two non-sporting pairs. I got the necessary information from all participants from kinesiology analysis. I made questionnaires to get and complete the information about the dance pairs´ training. I compared the results with the results of kinesiology analysis of non-sporting pairs and I summarized the information about changes in the musculoskeletal system of dance pairs which might be caused by dance sport. Moreover, I planned compensatory exercises for dance pairs. The results of my research prove many effects on the musculoskeletal system and frequent injuries which might be caused by dance sport. Sport dancers should know about them. The undergraduate thesis can be used especially for sport dancers to provide them information about the possible negative impact of dance sport on the musculoskeletal system. It can also be used as an inspiration for dance sport coaches to include compensatory exercises into their lessons.
