Monitoring of motor abilityes in relation to somatic development in contemporary preschool children
Cvrčková, Lucie ; Sedlak, Petr (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Hana (referee)
The diploma thesis is focused on the evaluation of the level of basic motor skills of preschool children in relation to gender, age, completion of the first figure changes, body composition and level of physical posture development. The study held from May 2013 to January 2014 included 208 children (101 boys and 107 girls) in the age range of 3 - 6 years old attending kindergartens. Each subject was observed based on 32 somatic characteristics (body height, weight, 8 width dimensions, 8 peripheral characteristics of the trunk and limbs, thickness of 14 skinfolds). There was performed the body mass fractionation according to Matiegka's equations for the analysis of body composition. The completion of first character transformations was examined by aspect assessment (according to Filipin rate), so was examined the quality of posture (methods according to Matthias) and the quality of postural functions (method according to Jaroš and Lomíček). In the case of basic motor skills there was chosen 20 ms run with standing start for the testing of speed capability, for the evaluation of explosive strength abilities was selected jump from the spot with two legs reflection, the testing of explosive strength of the upper limbs was exercised by a ball throw (150 g) by both right and left hand and the evaluation...

Voglová, Daniela ; Háva, Petr (advisor) ; Kružík, Lubomír (referee)
This work follows the studies focused on obesity, its global extent and its serious health and economic impact. At the same time, the work examines the unsuccessful fight of public policies which try to reverse growing prevalence of obesity. Nevertheless, the main goal of the thesis is a discussion about priorities of new orientation in the research on the causes of the obesity epidemic and effectiveness of precautions that were taken in many countries and international organizations with the main aim to stop the obesity and its consequences. The discussion leads to the more detailed description of the problems connected with obesity, for instance, environmental aspects, housing culture in relation to physical activities, lifestyle in relation to advertisement/marketing, psychological and socio- psychological aspects, combating stress, etc. My intention was to find out utility of contemporary research on obesity for setting of policy fighting against obesity.

Two international dimensions of paradigmatic approaches separated to the certain degree can be considered as relevant with regard to the global...

Possibilities of influencing blood pressure by physical activity in children population and adolescents with overweight and obesity
Filouš, Pavel ; Radvanský, Jiří (advisor) ; Máček, Miloš (referee)
The thesis seeks an answer to the question of whether increased physical activity may favorably affect high blood pressure (BP) in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity. The author presents an overview and analysis of important works of scientific literature on the relationship of BP and overweight and about the impact of physical activity on BP in school children with overweight and obesity. Recent findings demonstrate a significant correlation of BP with low physical activity and overweight among youth and ability of regular physical activity to reduce elevated BP in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity. Required range of physical activity is not clearly established, however, it should be greater than the habitual daily load and 60 min. of aerobic physical activity with intensity of 5 - 8 METs is recomended. Author refers to other positive aspects of regular physical activity, higlights the seriousness of the health effects of metabolic syndrome and considers the issue from the social point of view as well. In terms of prevention of overweight and elevated BP in children and adolescents by increased physical aktivity, the author would recomend above all to increase the number of obligatory regular hours of physical education in school children.
