Energy balance and its influential factors
Staufčíková, Tereza ; Bartošová, Ladislava (advisor) ; Spáčilová, Jana (referee)
The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the issue of energy balance. Principles of its regulation and factors that affect it through energy intake or energy output are described in the thesis. It also describes methods of measuring and calculating energy output for proper adjustment of energy needs and achieving energy balance. In addition, the thesis presents energy needs in in specific life stages and pathological conditions that may occur during prolonged disruption of the energy balance. Both physiological and pharmacological factors which may impact energy metabolism are mentioned. The main objective of the practical part was to analyze freely available articles on the Internet providing different ways of weight reduction. The articles were subjected to a critical assessment from the point of view of a nutritional therapist and compared with expert studies. The secondary objective was to evaluate the questionnaire which also dealt with weight reduction. The individual responses were focused on the respondents' personal experience with weight loss. The results showed that up to 90 % of respondents attempted to reduce weight and that freely available articles, which do not always provide relevant information, were often used for this purpose. Keywords: energy balance, basal energy...

Čmerdová, Kristýna ; Matoulek, Martin (advisor) ; Mikeš, Ondřej (referee)
Starting points: LCD and VLCD are one of the possibilities, which can be used when battling obesity. They are not however advised separately. There must always be present another form of treatment. What follows is either bariatric treatment, or a home reduction plan in cooperation with a nutrition therapist. LCD or VLCD should always be under the supervision of a doctor. Goals: To, in detail, describe a complex of patients, who were on weight reduction hospital stay (later only WRHS), as a foundation of a statistical analysis of dynamic changes concerning the reasoning of LCD and VLCD hospitalization, basic anthropometric data and deduce the short and long-term effect of WRHS with LCD and VLCD. Methods: Entry data were collected retroactively from hospital records of patients who were hospitalized for reduction of weight in the years 2014-2015 in inpatient ward D3 of the third Internal clinic of the General University Hospital in Prague (Všeobecná fakultní nemocnice v Praze). This data was statistically processed and its results discussed and charted in this paper. Main results: The most common reasoning for WRHS was sole reduction of weight; next was bariatric operation after WRHS. Patients who didn't undergo bariatric operation within a year of their 1.st WRHS, and their weight after one year is...

Effect of reducing the three-month program of physical activity on body composition and weight change.
Dyrcová, Martina ; Matoulek, Martin (advisor) ; Vilikus, Zdeněk (referee)
The thesis is dealing with the effect of the three-month reduction program with physical activity on body composition and changes in body weight of each participant in the program. To reduce weight and reach health benefit means especially to reduce single components of body fat. The goal was to find out what changes in body composition and body weight have been done, analyze it and evaluate the success rate of this program. The three month reduction programmes took place in a recondition centre VŠTJ Medicina Praha, o.s. The results of the research were compared and evaluated on the basis of input and output measuring by a bioimpedance device InBody. The evaluated components were: body weight, BMI, waistline, muscle mass, lean body mass, total body water and the amount of work-out hours in the recondition centre. Program duration was also considered. From the total number of 60 participants (11 men and 49 women), 42 successfully finished the program (7 men and 35 women). Statistically significant differences have been found in the input and output of body weight, BMI, waistline and amount of body fat. Each mentioned parameter has been decreased. The other parameters have not been significantly changed. The effectiveness of the three month reduction program is noticeable especially in increasing...

Choice of bariatric procedures and their effect on the weight change of obese people
Vorudová, Jana ; Matoulek, Martin (advisor) ; Hvižď, Robert (referee)
Introduction: Bariatric surgery is one of the methods of treatment of higher degrees of obesity. It helps patients to reduce the weight if conservative methods of treatment are not effective, or if it is still necessary to deepen its effect. Bariatric procedures are divided according to the the way how they are carried out - restriction, malabsorption and combined performance. Objective: The aim of this work was to determine who gave the incentive to the patients to undergo the bariatric treatment, where they received further information and how many times they managed in the time before the operation to lose weight. Further information was obtained on subjective patient satisfaction with the results of surgery and furter the weight loss data were assessed and compared the changes of BMI after bariatric surgery. Methods: An anonymous questionnaire was sent out to collect the necessary data from 39 patients after various bariatric surgery. These data were subsequently processed and analyzed. These data were subsequently evaluated and processed using graphs and tables for better clarity Results: It was found that the doctor was the one who gave the incentive to undergo bariatric performance in 79 % of patients. It was also confirmed that 80 % of patients reduced their weight of at least 5 kg before...

Bariatric Surgery and Obese Patients' Motivation
Laštovičková, Jitka ; Tollarová, Blanka (advisor) ; Šmídová, Olga (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with obese patients' motivation to undergo or refuse a bariatric surgery in obesity treatment. The aim of the thesis was to create an overview of patient's motivation to undergo or refuse a bariatric surgery, to show an obese patient's situation (a candidate for a bariatric surgery) from a closer perspective and offer recommendations for the work with obese patients. The qualitative research method in a form of a semistructured interview with the obese patients, who are being treated in obesity ambulances, and with the psychologists, who work with obese patients, was used to analyse the theme of the research. The eight interviews were conducted and analysed with open coding. Obese patients are motivated to undergo a bariatric surgery by improvement of their health, increased attractiveness and by expectation of their obesity's final solution. Obese patients don't want to undergo a bariatric surgery because they're convinced, that they could manage to lose weight and keep it without undergoing a bariatric surgery. Also because they are worried about the bariatric surgery, its complications, its restrictions, required anesthesia and about the failure after undergoing bariatric surgery. Obese patients' motivation to undergo or refuse a bariatric surgery is also influenced by...
