Impact of inspiratory muscle training on the cardiopulmonary system of elite rowers.
Procházková, Sára ; Procházka, Michal (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee)
This thesis focuses on the physiological and biomechanical relation between rowing and function of the respiratory system. The theoretical part summarizes various possibilities of using the inspiratory muscle training, primarily on accessible information about its use during elite rowers preparation. The thesis contains three case studies of elite female rowers who followed the inspiratory muscle training according to Volianitis's et al. methodology from 2001. Changes in performance of simulated rowing race and in PImax were monitored. Despite the insufficient compliance of prescribed training, we see an improvement of the observed parameters.

Hrbáčková, Karolína ; Zadražilová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee)
Tumoral diseases of the lungs are one of the most frequent causes of hospitalization and necessary surgical interventions in the chest area. The most common is bronchogenic carcinoma, which is mentioned as the most common malignancy among men in incidence and mortality. In women it occupies the third place. Worldwide, it results in 20% of all deaths from oncological causes. The main theoretical part of this bachelor's thesis is focused on the possibilities of physiotherapy with patients after chest surgery emphasizing respiratory physiotherapy. Part of the practical section of this bachelor's thesis reviews questionnaires distributed to the patients with the aim of analyzing patient participation, the quality of and satisfaction with their preoperative and early postoperative rehabilitation and interest in outpatient rehabilitation. A case report of a patient who underwent chest surgery due to a lung cancer is added.

Janeček, Pavel ; Kovářová, Lenka (advisor) ; Chrzanowská, Babeta (referee)
Title: Influence of POWERBREATHE on changes in respiratory parameters by swimmers Objectives: The goal of bachelor thesis is what influence has Powerbreathe on changes in respiratory in swimmers. It will be also determined if a group of better- performing swimmers will achieve statistically better results from Powerbreathe. Last goal will be find out if training with Powerbreathe by instructions influence statistically improvement measure results. Method: Data were collected before start of research and after from Powerbreathe. Results are processed to charts and evaluate into software SPSS in statistics method pair T-test and non-paired T-test for two files. Results: In the analysis, we concluded that there are no statistically significant differences between the TOP swimmers and the REPRE swimmers when we were comparing the results of the values measured on the Powerbreathe. Furthermore, we did not find statistically significant differences when we were comparing the results of the values measured before and after the test. The results did not change even if we split the group into a group of performance better TOP swimmers and performance worse REPRE swimmers. Key words: Powerbreathe, breathing, swimming, performance
Effect of yogic breathing and relaxation exercises on perceptions of stress among women regularly exercising power yoga
Vašková, Pavla ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Strnad, Pavel (referee)
Title: The influence of breathing and relaxation exercises on perceptions of stress among women regularly exercising power yoga Objectives: The aim of the practical part is through research to verify the influence of yogic breathing and relaxation exercises to affective states and respiration amplitude. Methods: In 10 probands (mean age 37.6) were evaluated the effect of the intervention of breathing and relaxation exercises to affective states and respiration amplitude. The thesis is quasiexperiment character. This is a mixed research. Methods of investigation were POMS questionnaire, measuring chest and participatory observation. Results: The results of this study confirm the influence of yoga breathing exercises on the perception of affective disorder and the impact of these methods to increase breathing amplitude. After 10 weeks intervention breathing exercise occurred in 5 of 8 probands to reduce the perception of affective states. It was confirmed that after 10-week intervention breathing exercise will increase breathing amplitude. The increase occurred in all 8 probands. Keywords: yoga, yoga relaxation, breath, pranayama, stress, POMS
Nursing care of a patient with non-invasive ventilatory support
Veselá, Barbora ; Sojková, Monika (advisor) ; Mrákava, Vlastimil (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with a non-invasive ventilatory support method and its use in commercial practice. The intention was to find out what theoretical basis nurses have in the mentioned issue, to characterize the most common indications, contraindications and particularly complications emerging at patients connected to a non-invasive ventilatory support. In the theoretical part there are found chapters about anatomy and physiology of airways and about a principle of an artificial pulmonary ventilation. A non-invasive ventilatory support represents a detailed chapter. The main part focuses on nursing care and monitoring of a patient connected to a non-invasive ventilatory support. I mainly deal with hygiene of airways, rehabilitation and breathing physiotherapy, positioning and the motion regime. Care for physical state of a patient connected to a ventilation and an issue of worsened communication during implementation of a non-invasive ventilatory support cannot be committed. The empirical part contains mainly anonymous questionnaire research leading to evaluation of given aims and hypothesis of work. In total, 200 respondents in four Prague hospitals were questioned and 164 of them completed this research. The research has brought very satisfactory results. The respondents has shown good...
Breathing and its parameters in increased demands on postural stability
Středová, Michaela ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Strnad, Pavel (referee)
Title: Breathing and its parameters in increased demands on postural stability Aims: The main objective is to carry out a quantification research of wind parameters and specify mechanical parameters to compare the effect of increased postural stability claim for breath, prepare the correct research methodology and carry out independent measurements. The first part of the thesis is focused on the search process of the issue. In the second part of special research was done, where we panned respiratory parameters while standing on the ground and on unstable platform and position of markers in 3D space. Methods: 1. Measurement of respiratory parameters using lung spirometer 2. Measurement of defined points in 3D space using Qualisys technology We measured quiet breathing and consciously deep breathing when standing on the ground or when standing on a balance pad. Total 4 measurements were carried out after 20 seconds. The experiment involved 14 probands aged 22-31 years, 10 women and 4 men. The average age of the probands was 24.5 years, mean height was 172.5 cm and mean weight 68.6 kg. From our study were excluded smokers, professional players of wind instruments, professional athletes, pregnant women, children, people with chronic respiratory disease, CNS disorders, persons with motor limitations, or...
Biomechanical chracteristics of nonstationary respiration as possible identificator of tiredeness under hypokinetic loading
Lopotová, Martina ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Eck, Vladimír (referee) ; Smrčka, Pavel (referee)
The general topic of this work is to reveal the potential relationship between tiredness cause by hypokinetic monotonous loading and breathing. The aim was to determine if there are suitable respiratory parameters that would indicate this tirednes and, if so, then verify their validity for predicting the tiredness phenomena accompanying huge range of everyday human activities. The performed experiment was attended by five volunteers who absolved measurements of electrical activity of brain, of breathing and of chest volume changes. The course of the experiment and the behaviour of probands were recorded by a camera. In the first part of each maesuremnt, a specified monotonous task (Task Tracking) was performed. The probands have had to follow the target moving with pseudocasual direction and speed by the cursor on the monitor. This task currently reflected the level of reliability and quality of the performed aktivity. In the second part of measurement, the probands had just to relax and watch a movie. Both parts were measured in two conditions - alert and tired (after 24 hours of sleep deprivation) proband. The data were compared with each other and evaluated. The measurements and the results showed that the rate of the tiredness can be fairly reliably assessed by monitoring of the volume...
