Pecha, Marek ; Jebavý, Radim (advisor) ; Hojka, Vladimír (referee)
Topic: Comparison of bodytypes and proportions to performance of athletes Goal: The goal is to compare bodytypes of world elite athletes from past and present in athletic throws. Second goal is to compare weight and height in different disciplines. Methods: Research in specialized sources, analyse and comparison athletes bodytypes. Comparison of bodytypes with performances in disciplines. Results: We created a document which contain if body proportions are affecting on a throwers performance in short and long therm. From our results is obvious that hight and weight are really matters in some disciplines. We found a strong dependence in javelin throw and in shot put. In disciplines where prevails rotation moves is dependence much low or there is practicaly none. In the second part we found out differences in hight and weight in throws through the time. Key words: bodytype, long performance, athletic throws, body composition, height, weight, BMI

Physiological aspects of body composition measurements
Větrovská, Renata ; Matoulek, Martin (advisor) ; Poledne, Rudolf (referee) ; Brychta, Tomáš (referee)
Determination of body composition or amount and decomposition of body fat belongs to the basic clinical examination of an obese patient. But methods used to determine the amount of fat in obese population are often innacurate. And it's adipose tissue and its measurable parameters which can provide us range of information for the further process of the reductive treatment. The main goal of this work is to evaluate the physiological aspects of body composition measurement in several areas: (I) To determine whether the values of body fat measured by most commonly used methods are comparable to those measured by method DEXA. (II) To determine whether the values of the amount of body fat measured by different methods vary depending on the amount of BMI and adipose tissue in the body and assess whether the available bioimpendance methods can measure the functional state of body fat. (III) To assess the resting energy expenditure in relation to body composition and physical activity. (IV) To determine whether the body composition will affect the resulting reduction after excercise program for women with overweight and obesity. (V) To verify whether changes in the values of BOHB (Beta Hydroxybutyrate) after physical activity could be the predictor of weight losses and changes of body composition. Based on...

Týblová, Michaela ; Kubala Havrdová, Eva (advisor) ; Vymazal, Josef (referee) ; Taláb, Radomír (referee)
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with impaired bone health in comparison to an equally healthy population, even already in patients at the onset of this disease. The main risk factors for development of osteoporosis in MS patients are known. The aim of the study was to find the relationship of the decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) to the administered cumulative dose of steroids and to other risk factors in MS, mainly to the degree of motor deficit. Further goal was to evaluate the occurence of the risk of low-trauma fractures in multiple sclerosis patients.. The BMD and muscle mass was compared in MS patients (women and men) and control subjects, to examine the effect of main ones - physical disability and long-term glucocorticoid (GC) therapy on BMD. Clinical values of bone remodeling markers were evaluated in assessment of rate of bone loss in patients with multiple sclerosis long term treated with low dose of GC. Patients and methods: We used dual -energy X-ray absorptiometry for a measurement of BMD in 591 MS patients (455 females and 136 males) in 2004 and in cross-sectional longitudinal study published in 2014 with 474 patients (353 women and 121 men). Out of the whole study group body composition was evaluated in 250 MS females, 104 males and 247 healthy controls (193...

Title: The level of motor skills, physical fitness and body composition in preschool children Objectives: 1) To find out the current level of selected motor skills, physical fitness and body composition in preschool children. 2) To find out the interrelationship between selected parameters from the area of motor skills, physical fitness and body composition in preschool children. Methods: The main research method was observation - measurement. The research sample included 35 preschool children (4 - 6 years, M 5.8 ± 0.7 y). Motor skills were measured using the MABC-2 test battery and physical fitness using the Unifittest 6-60 test battery. Furthermore, the body composition was evaluated by BMI index and the skinfold thickness. Obtained data were processed in Microsoft Excel 2007, subjected to descriptive statistical procedures and further analyzed by correlations and Cohen's d. Results: The MABC-2 "aiming and catching" subtest level of preschool children exceeded the population average (10.23 ± 2.2). On the contrary, in subtest "balance" children remained below the population average with a result of 9.5 ± 2.6. Overall, the results indicate average level of fundamental motor skills of our experimentee. We didn't find any statistically signifiant relationships between motor skills, physical fitness...

The title of the work: Pre-competition preparation of the Bikini fitness category competitor The aim of the work: The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to compare training and nutritional approach during competition season and outside it and their influence on body composition. Another aim of this thesis is to compare my pre-competition preparation with pre- comtetiton preparation of another Bikini fitness category competitor. Methods: In the theoretical part of this thesis there are explained all basic terms and areas related to the chosen topic. The research was based on comparision of two training and nutritional approaches and their effect on body composition. To obtain the body composition data, a bioelectric impedance measurement methor was used on the TANITA device. There was a gap of 5 months between the measurements. The first measurement took place in the competition season and the second outside of it. Results: The results confirmed the following hypotheses: In the first measurement (in the competition season), a lower amount of body fat was measured by 2-3 kg than in the second measurement (outside the competition season). During measurements following changes were detected: a higher amount of muscle mass at least of 1 kg was measured; a higher body fat amount of 2-3 kg was measured....

Bioimpedance analysis of body fluids during pregnancy.
Najpaverová, Simona ; Hronek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Kovařík, Miroslav (referee)
The aim of this work was to process opportunities of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) for determination body composition of pregnant women. There is quite small findings about this issue, so it was an effort to prove the usefulness of the BIA method during pregnancy and than to clarified the changes of body metabolism in women during pregnancy. The study included 10 pregnant, primipara, women with a physiological pregnancy. The screening was performed by the method of bioimpedance analysis of body composition, which records the amount of water, muscle and fat mass in the body. The measured values recorded an increase in mass of all examined women on average of 13.4 ± 4.1 kg. Our results also recorded progressive increase in the amount of total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW) and intracellular water (ICW) especially during the last trimester of pregnancy. The results analysis showed the tightest correlation between the values of Re and ratio of TBW P/h2 (p = 1,23*10-20 ; r = -0,98057) and of Ri and ratio of ICW P/h2 (p = 4,52*10-20 ; r = -0,97859), too. The evaluation of measurements between the first and third trimester has shown statistically significant difference in values Xc/waist. It has been shown that using the BIA method is justified in period of pregnancy and it is...

Change in body composition of overweight and obese clients after weight reduction intervention using group cognitive behavioral therapy
Šuterová, Jana ; Slabá, Šárka (advisor) ; Málková, Iva (referee)
The main aim of the study is to determine a body composition in participants of weight reduction program STOB, based on group cognitive behavioral therapy of obesity. The program lasted 12 weeks and participants underwent a cognitive behavioral therapy and followed a diet and physical activity plan. The body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance InBody 230 at the initial and final lesson. We examined a participant's body weight, skeletal muscle, fat mass, abdominal fat mass and BMI. At the end of the weight reduction program participants lost 5% (-4,6kg) of their initial weight, achieved significant decrease in fat mass (average -4,3kg and -3%), lost 14,4cm2 of abdominal fat mass and mean BMI value decreased by 1,7. A muscle component hasn't significantly changed within the weight reduction program. The effect of 12 week weight reduction program STOB resulted in significant changes in body composition, which are associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular and metabolic complications of obesity. Using cognitive behavioral therapy as an obesity management strategy is positively evaluated especially for its effect on long term weight reduction and effective relapse prevention. Therefore a future study should be focused on a long term re-evaluation of changes in body composition in...
