Brychta, Petr ; Heller, Jan (advisor) ; Havel, Zdeněk (referee) ; Harsa, Pavel (referee)
Title: The influence of age, gender and movement activity on the reaction abilities of lower limbs. Objectives: The main objective of this dissertation was to find the reaction abilities of pubescent's (aged 10 - 15years) lower limbs on the basis of age, gender and movement activity. The further aim was to determine the pubescence period (age) when the most noticeable decrease of the visual disjunctive motor response time of lower limbs occurs. Methods: 214 boys and girls aged 10-15 years (157.8 ± 10.8 cm; 47.2 ± 10.7 kg) participated in this research. Simple, choice and disjunctive reaction time of lower limbs was measured through the Fitro Agility Check test. The results processing, including statistical procedures, was carried out using the Matlab (MathWorks, Inc.) programming environment, an IBM SPSS Statistics 22. Three-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests (α=0.05) were used to determine the individual parameters connection. Results: With increasing age, year over year, we found important differences and reaction time decreases of all types of reaction speeds. Testing brings to light the fact that the most noticeable decrease of both selection and disjunctive reaction time of lower limbs are between groups of 11 year olds (11.00-11.99) and 12 year olds (12.00-12.99). The most noticeable decrease...

Relationship of pupils at primary schools in the selected region to regular physical activity depending on the interests of their parents
Vacardová, Lucie Gabriela ; Dlouhý, Martin (advisor) ; Hrabinec, Jiří (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to reveal the relationship between lower secondary school pupils in cities Semily and Prague and regular physical activity, depending on the interests of their parents. Specific objectives included the determination of the relationship of students to physical activities, finding their parents' relationship to these activities and the subsequent determination of the cross-correlation of these two relationships. After gathering and subsequent analysis of the relevant sources a questionnaire has been compiled. The questionnaire survey was conducted at selected lower secondary schools in cities Semily and Prague. After subsequent data collection a comparison of schools in both regions was conducted. Research has shown that in terms of regular physical activity pupils in Prague are more active than those in Semily. In Prague 73 % of pupils regularly perform physical activities, while in Semily it is 56 %. Another output is information that 79 % of parents in Semily are (or were in the past) regularly physically active. In Prague the figure is 82 %. The main finding of the thesis is a very strong link between physical activity of pupils and physical activity of their parents. 93 % of physically active students in Semily have parents who are also physically active, in Prague it...

Title: The level of physical activity during the week in adolescent football players Author: Bc. Marek Vait Head of work: Mgr. Jakub Kokštejn, Ph.D. Aim: The aim of the research was to determine the level of physical activity (PA) in the weekly mode with teenage football players in the junior category (16 - 17 years old) and older adolescents (18 - 19 years old). At the same time to evaluate the level of the PA in relation to selected health recommendations for the size of the PA. Methods: In the research participated a total of n = 66 players (players younger junior players n = 36; 15.8 ± 0.8, older adolescents n = 30 players; 17.2 ± 0.75. For testing of selected player were used 25 accelerometers, 14 of them was a type ActiGraph GT3X and 11 type ActiGraph GTM1. The level of PA was observed during seven days. Results: The average daily value of energy expenditure reached in the younger category of 10.9 ± 2.7, with the older 9.1 ± 3.2. Both categories fulfilled health recommendations. In the case of the daily number of steps, both categories have reached the recommended values, the values of the younger reached 13,625 ± 3049 and the older 11061 ± 3873.The average daily value of medium to high intensity PA exceeded both categories used worldwide recommendations for the minimum daily amount of...

Physical activity in facilities for the elderly as a means of self-care and independence
Morávková, Markéta ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Hráský, Pavel (referee)
Title: Physical activity in facilities for the elderly as a means of self-care and independence Objective: The main objective is to identify through research the possibilities of movement activities of seniors in institutions for the elderly, as a means to their autonomy, self-care and independence of the surrounding area. Senior age brings with it many challenges and constraints, whether physiological or psychological means. According to my research (Morávková 2013), these problems can actually affect by physical activity in both primary and secondary prevention. But the question remains whether seniors have the opportunity to perform physical activity. In my research, I focused on a situation where the senior placed in a facility for the elderly and is therefore totally dependent on the supply of equipment. Methods: The thesis is the first part researches topics of geriatrics and physical prevention of seniors. In the second part I follow research which I addressed to all traced facility for seniors in the Central Region, a total of 49 homes. There I poll examined whether there are controlled hours of physical activity, how they are targeted, whether this benefit seniors exploits and possibly what finances have to spend to participate those hours. Then I processed incoming data and interpreted...

Evolutionary aspects of Alzheimer's disease. Major role of the Apolipoprotein E
Škubica, Patrik ; Daňková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Jirák, Roman (referee)
Alzheimer's disease is one of the most discussed conditions, due to its huge social and economic consequences. Whereas molecular and genetic aspects causing early onset of the disease are relatively well known, it still remains to be clearly shown how genetic risks and environmental factors interact to ultimately cause the late onset form. Major molecular-genetic factors affecting risk of developing Alzheimer's disease are APOE gene and its product apolipoprotein E. This gene occurs in humans in three common variants that differ among each other in exon sequence by one single nucleotide polymorphism. Similar difference exists between human and mammal APOE gene that served as an origin for human forms. This thesis discusses possible evolutionary scenarios of APOE gene and links acquired information to molecular and environmental ascpects of Alzheimer's disease.
