Modern Markers of Organ Damage in Clinical Practice
Brož, Pavel ; Rajdl, Daniel (advisor) ; Topolčan, Ondřej (referee) ; Jabor, Antonín (referee)
Physical activity is a useful tool in the prevention of many diseases. Hospitalization after strenuous exercise from cardiac or noncardiac causes, even in young athletes without previous symptoms, can occur. These situations are not uncommon and e.g. after completing a half- marathon clinical symptoms suspicious from cardiac etiology can be present. Limitations of biomarkers used in daily clinical practice can lead to misinterpretation with additional consequences to the patient's outcome. Our goal was to describe changes of markers used in daily clinical practice after extreme physical activity and after exercise under laboratory conditions. We performed two studies in cooperation with Department of cardiology and Department of sports medicine. The goal of our first study was to examine high sensitivity troponin I (hsTnI), galectin-3, cystatin C, NGAL and ultrasensitive CRP (uCRP) after extremely long run during the competition in long distance running. The goal of our second study was to examine high- sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) and hsTnI, creatinine and cystatin C, and urine albumin and NGAL after a standardized two-hour treadmill run under laboratory conditions and to find possible connection with echocardiographic, laboratory and other assessed parameters. The second goal of study under laboratory...

Title: Teaching of orienteering at primary school Author: Bc. Zuzana Procházková Department: Department of Physical Education Supervisor: PhDr. PaedDr. Ladislav Kašpar, Ph.D. Objectives: The aim of this diploma work is to chart the teaching of orienteering at primary schools in Prague and to use a questionnaire-based approach to determine whether orienteering is included within the school curriculum and if so, then how. The secondary objective is to draw up a draft of methods for teaching orienteering. Methods: Data collection was performed using a questionnaire-based approach. The questionnaire was evaluated in the graphs and tables. The method for the secondary objective is a detailed study of the literature and results of the questionnaire. Results: Thirty four physical education teachers participated in the research study. Sixteen teachers include orienteering within their teaching curriculum. The frequency of orienteering teaching is mostly 1-3 times a year. A half of the teachers teach orienteering in PE lessons. More than half of the teachers included orienteering as a part of school trips and courses. Most of them use specialised orienteering maps.

Analysis and prognosis of elite male and female triathletes performance at the ITU World Triathlon Championships in 1989-2016 in Olympic Triathlon
Látová, Lenka ; Kovářová, Lenka (advisor) ; Suchý, Jiří (referee)
Title: Analysis and prognosis of elite male and female triathletes performance at the ITU World Triathlon Championships in 1989-2016 in Olympic triathlon Objectives: To analyse male and female performance in individual parts of the triathlon (swim, bike, run) as well as the whole race performance during the years 1989 - 2016. To determine the performance prediction of racers using the time series analysis for Olympic triathlon in ITU World Triathlon Championship in 2028. Methods: For statistical data processing we will apply the time series analysis using SPSS Statistics 22 software. We will then add the historical content and the actual conditions of the race to the final graphs. On the basis of the processed data, we will create a performance prediction for 2028 using Excel program. Results: In swimming, women are approaching men's performance and they are now on 92.2%. In the future, women will not come closer to men's times. Performance will improve slightly. In cycling, the gap between men and women is 10%. We do not expect any major change in the future. According to the trend of development, we find deterioration in both categories, especially in men. At the moment, the performance of women in running is 88.3% of men. We do not expect any change in the future. However, male and female times...

Title: Running training of triathlete Student: Martin Řehák Supervisor: PhDr. Aleš Kaplan, Ph.D. Aims: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to study the professional publications, training documents, methodological texts and subsequent preparation of scoping study about the topic running training of triathlete. Methodology: The creation of this bachelor thesis was used scoping study, which was created based on analysis of the available professional literature, training documents and articles from many information sources including scientific electronic bibliographic databases. Results: Study more than fourty different literary sources and creating this final work with shape of scoping study is a comprehensive text, summarizing the scattered information on the topic running training of triathlete, from witch it follows that in a methodical concept do not differ a preview of the running training by the authors of older publications and contenporary authors, who profess modern aproaches.

Shaya, Jimmy ; Hojka, Vladimír (advisor) ; Velenský, Michael (referee)
6 Abstract Title: An analysis of a basketball player's movement during the game Objectives: The aim of this work is to demonstrate that observation groups in the basketball game use a different number of movements and should therefore train separately. Methods: The basis of this empirical study is a quantitative research that uses the method of analysis and comparison. To obtain the data, I have analysed the most frequent movements carried out by players in the game. We have collected the number of movements per each second for each group. Observed group are: point guard, shooting guard and centers. Movements were described theoretically, biomechanically, technically, or by using rules. After that I have used the comparison to determine the differences, which were implemented into charts and qualified in detail. Results: A graphical representation of the number of movements confirmed the goal of our work. The biggest differences were found in specific movements, such as screens, acceleration, dribbling and crossover dribble. It turned out that the primary movements, such as standing or walking occupy over 50% of the match for each group. Neither group achieved the same result in any category. It is therefore necessary to take into account these facts and plan training preparation in order to reflects the...

Running locomotion in common and water environment
Čuda, Radek ; Vindušková, Jitka (advisor) ; Jurák, Daniel (referee)
RUNNING LOCOMOTION IN COMMON AND WATER ENVIRONMENT Objectives: To offer a comprehensive view how to use various types of water running for training purposes. Summarize the significant differences between the water and classic running with orientation on physiology and biomechanics. Methods: Review of current knowledge from the literature. Comparative analysis of deep water running and classic running with slow and high frequency from video recordings. The aim of analysis were changes in the angles of the hip (flexion and extension), knee (flexion) and the elbow (flexion) joint, forward bending of the trunk and stride length. Results: During low stride frequency running is in the water greater knee (+ 41.2 ř) and hip (+ 26.7 ř) flexion, trunk more bent (+ 6.8 ř) and stride is shorter (by 1.61). During high stride frequency running is in the water greater knee flexion (+ 32.9 ř), greater trunk forward bending (+ 9.3 ř) and shorter stride (by 1.71). At low frequency were changes between conditions in all subjects more similar than at high frequency. When comparing the water running at low and high frequency the forward bending of the trunk was greater at high frequency (+ 9.6 ř) Other results were not conclusive. Keywords: water running, physiology ,biomechanics
