Increase in muscle mass during remission in patients with Crohn's disease
Dittrichová, Jana ; Křížová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Šatný, Martin (referee)
Pacients with Crohn's disease lose a significant amount of muscle mass during the acute phase. The amount of muscle mass plays a crucial role in determining an individual's physical fitness, quality of life, and improves the prognosis of the disease. The theoretical part of the presented work focuses on the importance of muscle mass, its growth in relation to protein intake, the issues related to Crohn's disease, and the increase of muscle mass during remission. In the practical part of the study, the goal was to determine how many kilograms patients with Crohn's disease typically lose during the acute phase of the illness and compare it with the weight loss in patients with ulcerative colitis. The aim was also to verify the impact of protein intake education and recommendations for the frequency and type of exercise on muscle mass growth, increased muscle strength, and walking speed in patients with Crohn's disease. In the practical part, it was found that patients with Crohn's disease lose between 11.79 to 16.29 kg during the acute phase of the illness. In the study with education, each participant underwent two measurements with an interval of 4-6 weeks. The parameters examined included the amount of muscle mass, a 4-meter walking test, and handgrip strength. After the first measurement,...

"Nutrition of athletes compared to people with a sedentary way of life."
Kubíková, Kristýna ; Vilikus, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Větrovská, Renata (referee)
Introduction: The main topic of this diploma thesis was the nutrition of athletes compared to people with a sedentary lifestyle. Aim: The main goal of the thesis was the nutrition of athletes compared to people with a sedentary lifestyle using analyzing dietary regimen. Material and methods: We evaluated the dietary regimen of 40 women at the age of 20- 30 years old. Women were divided into the groups of non-athletes ("sedentary people") and women who exercise fitness sports ("fitness people"). Their average age was in the range of 25,3-26 years. Respondents filled out the form with their dietary regimen for three days using a 24-hod recall. Records where evaluated with using an extensive food database which was created at the Institute of Physical Education, First of Medicine, Charles University. Student's two-tailed unpaired mean t-test was used to compare the groups. We used the F-test to analysing a equation scattering before using t-test. Results: Group of fitness athletes consumed average 335 kcal less total energy (p = 0.008), 15.17 g more plant-based proteins (p = 0.031), 15.24 g less fats (p = 0.025) and 13.23 g less animal fat (p = 0.044). The results for other nutrients weren't statistically significant, but from a nutritional point of view they provided an interesting overview of eating...

Protein intake in the menus of school canteens
KULICHOVÁ, Štěpánka
The bachelor thesis focuses on protein intake in the menus of school canteens. The first aim of my bachelor thesis is to map out the amount of protein in the menus of school canteens. The second objective is to assess by observing how many children eat the protein foods in the school canteens. A comparation of the menus of three selected school canteens was the third goal. In the theoretical part of the bachelor thesis I focus on basic information about proteins, such as protein distribution, protein metabolism, protein utilization, their need, lack and excess of protein as well as the need of protein during a childhood. I also mention individual protein foods in connection with the consumer basket. To achieve the aim of the practical part of the bachelor thesis, I used the acquired menus from three selected school canteens from Prague. I have processed the data I obtained in the nutritional program Nutriservis and I obtained data on the amount of protein in the menus of each school canteens. By observing children in these school canteens, I was gained an insight into how many protein foods they eat. The bachelor's thesis could serve as an inspiration for school canteen leaders in the future. According to the results of the research, there is just one of the three school canteens, that serves the optimum value of protein in their menus in accordance with consumer basket. But children actually eat less protein foods than this optimal value.
