Effect of walking and exercise with elastic resistance on selected functional parameters in the elderly
Palčinská, Renáta ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Malá, Jitka (referee)
Title: Effect of walking and elastic resistence exercise on selected functional parameters in the elderly Objectives: The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the effect of walking and elastic resistance exercise on selected parameters in the elderly population. Methods: The target group was healthy adults aged 60-80 years capable of independent walking. Subjects were randomly divided into three groups. The intervention of the first group consisted of elastic resistance exercise and controlled walking twice a week/ 1 hour for one month. The intervention of the second group consisted of walking twice a week/ 40 minutes, and the control group performed only the normal activities of the day. The respiratory parameters - vital capacity and FEV1, functional parameters - six-minute walking test and Sit to Stand test, and the distance of the acromion from the bed were evaluated. The measured values were statistically and graphically processed. Results: By comparing the individual tests of the intervention groups of walking with resistance exercise and walking alone, a higher benefit of the combination of exercises was found in almost all parameters. Keywords: FEV1, FVC, 6MWT, Sit to Stand test, elderly, measurement acromion-bed, resistance exercise, walking

The Effect of Exercise Intervention on Physical Fitness and Quality of Life in Patients after Bariatric Surgery
Pacholíková, Pavlína ; Daďová, Klára (advisor) ; Vilikus, Zdeněk (referee)
Title: The Effect of Exercise Intervention on Physical Fitness and Quality of Life in Patients after Bariatric Surgery Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the effect of a three-month physical intervention on the physical fitness and quality of life in patients after bariatric surgery. Compare the measured values from six-minute walk test (6MWT) and the questionnaire survey of quality of life between the group undergoing exercise program and the group of non-exercise patients. Methods: The diploma thesis was constructed as a quasi-experiment. A six-minute walk test, a visual analogue pain scale, a Borg scale and a standardized IWQOL-Lite questionnaire were used to asses physical fitness and quality of life. The study involved 28 patients (8 undergoing an exercise program, 20 non-excercisers). The groups were measured before the planned bariatric surgery and about 3-4 months after the surgery. For the analysis of final values, the Microsoft Excel and its add-in Realstatistics was used. Results: In patients undergoing the exercise program, the VAS on average decreased of 2,04 cm, 6MWT improved on average of 42,75 m, and quality of life of 34 points. In non-exercise patients there was an average decrease in VAS of 0,08 cm, an increase in 6MWT of 41,45 m and an increase in quality of life...
