Urinary incontinence in female athletes aged 18-30 years
Kopecká, Eliška ; Křivánková, Markéta (advisor) ; Mahrová, Andrea (referee)
Author: Eliška Kopecká Title: Urinary incontinence in female athletes aged 18-30 yeears Objectives: The aim of this study is to quantitatively analyse the prevalence and nature of urinary incontinence in young female athletes aged 18-30 years using a self-constructed online questionnaire. Methods: The research was conducted using a quantitative method in the form of an online questionnaire of our own design. It was distributed on social media and emailed to sports clubs and fitness centres. The questionnaire contained 24 questions. Respondents could choose closed or open-ended answers. Results: The results of the questionnaire survey show that urinary incontinence is a relatively common problem among young female athletes aged 18-30 years. The sample consisted of 132 women, of which 46.2 % of respondents had experience of urinary incontinence during sporting activities. From the analysis of the questionnaire responses, it can be inferred that most of the respondents (98) have partial or no knowledge about pelvic floor. There would be a need for better education and awareness in this area. Attitudes towards preventive measures and training were mostly positive, with a high willingness to participate in preventive programs. 94 (71.2 %), showed interest in the preventive inclusion of pelvic floor...

The use of suspension systems for physiotherapy in patients with vertebrogenic disease
ZÍKOVÁ, Jana
In my bachelor thesis I focus on the use of suspension systems for patients with vertebrogenic disease. The increased load on the musculoskeletal system caused by incorrect movement habits or improper working positioning often leads to vertebrogenic problems. Using physiotherapy tools can solve these issues. Methods such as the McKenzie method, Brügger concept, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, etc. are available. An useful alternative could be applying a suspension systém in therapy. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the research of the spine, including its anatomy, muscles, and mobility. It further focuses on the deep stabilizing system of the spine and on vertebrogenic disease such as pain in the cervical, thoracic, and the lumbar spine and its therapy. The last part of the reseach is dedicated to suspension systems, specifically Redcord, TRX, and Jungle Sports. The practical part is processed as a qualitative research in the form of case studies. The main aim was to describe exercise units using a suspension system for patients with vertebrogenic disease and to find physiotherapy options for them. The research sample consisted of three patients who attended the outpatient facility for a period of two months. The inclusion criterion was chronic vertebrogenic algic syndrome (VAS). The therapy primarily focused on the individual muscle imbalances through exercises in the Redcord system, combined with alternative exercises suitable for home environments without suspension systems. The final evaluation of the results was performed by comparing the initial and final kinesiological analyses.

The effect of the deep stabilization system on the prevention of knee injuries in soccer
Hudíková, Klára ; Demeková, Júlia (advisor) ; Veselá, Jana (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines the deep spinal stabilization system and its effect on knee stability of soccer players for future injury prevention. Joint instability is cited as a major risk factor for non-contact knee injuries. Therefore, this thesis explores the possibility of improving its stability by improving the activation of the deep stabilization system of the spine. Soccer is a collective sport with a large player base and with this comes a high number of injuries. Among the most common of these are knee injuries. The movements performed in football require precise coordination of the activity of the muscles of the lower limbs. These movements are discussed in this thesis, along with the most common football-specific injury patterns. The functional aspects of the deep stabilization system of the spine are also presented. This is a set of muscles of the trunk, diaphragm and pelvic floor that, when properly coordinated, provide spinal bracing during posturally demanding positions. Its proper development begins in early childhood and its involvement depends, among other things, on the correct positioning of the segments. Its function is discussed in detail by Professor Kolář in his concept of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization, which is described in the paper. In the practical part of the...

Možnosti kompenzace svalových dysbalancí způsobených jízdou na koni u hobby jezdců
VYDLÁKOVÁ, Klára
This bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of influencing muscle imbalances occurring in hobby horse riders. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to summarize and describe the most common muscle imbalances that occur in horse riders and also to suggest possible influences on these imbalances. These two objectives were achieved in the theoretical part of the bachelor thesis. The third and fourth objectives were to design a suitable exercise unit and also to evaluate its effect. This objective is already related to the practical part of this bachelor thesis, the actual research. The thesis is divided into two parts, the theoretical part and the practical research. The theoretical part summarizes the knowledge about muscle imbalances, the riding seat, its errors and compensatory exercises. The practical part is devoted to the description of the research that was conducted. It also includes the actual exercise unit constructed from the described methods. The research itself was conducted in the form of qualitative research and involved a total of 4 probands. All of these probands signed an informed consent to undertake the research, which is available for inspection by the author of this thesis, as well as the consent of the riding club in which the probands ride. The research begins with a questionnaire and baseline examination to help determine the muscular imbalances that are present in the riders. Based on these examinations, an appropriate exercise unit was then designed and its effect was further monitored. Two exercise units were actually designed. The main exercise unit was designed for home-based exercise, which probands performed at least 4 times a week. The secondary exercise unit was aimed directly at the pre- and post-riding periods. The designed exercise unit consisted of a total of 12 exercises that focused primarily on activating the HSSP, stretching shortened muscles, and strengthening weakened muscles. The research lasted for two months, during which time the probands underwent a total of 4 exercise unit checks. The conclusion of the thesis and the discussion summarises all the findings that have been identified through this undergraduate research. The thesis can be useful as a source of information for all hobby riders and physiotherapists who encounter this issue.

The objectification of therapeutical methods used for improvement of the deep stabilizng spinal system
Malátová, Renata ; Kolář, Pavel (advisor) ; Bunc, Václav (referee) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee) ; Marešová, Dana (referee)
5 Summary So far, no commercially used device, capable of evaluating the condition of the deep stabilizing spine system (DSSS), has appeared on the market. Therefore, a so called muscle dynamometer (SD01, SD02), has been constructed that enables to reveal a possible dysfunction of the DSSS. During a six-week-rehabilitation-course, aimed at correcting the body posture and strengthening the DSSS muscles, a statistically significant change (p<0.001) between the values of input and output measurements of the chosen group tested has been obtained. Correctness of the approach to objectify the initial state of the patient and his progress during the treatment was shown by the completed measurements. The effectiveness of therapeutical training was confirmed. Based on positive experience from SD01, a new version of muscle dynamometer, SD02, was constructed. Measurements by SD02 were to establish the condition of DSSS (frontal spine stabilization) by a lay-sit test repeatedly from the test battery UNIFITTEST 6-60 and by the diaphragm test. Measurements were conducted on 45 samples. Basic somatic measurements were performed and then measurements with the SD02 were conducted during the diaphragm test and UNIFITTEST. For comparison of the values the pairing t-test was used (normal data distribution was verified by the...
