Benko, Michal ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Heller, Jan (referee)
Title: The effect of sauna on the changes of blood pressure Objectives: The aim of this study was the measure of the physiological range (blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation) of two selected groups of people within the sauna cycle, assess changes and compare the results of individual probands and groups. Methods: This thesis is conducted as an experimental study. This is a quantitative method, in that will be at first established hypotheses and then evaluated on the basis of the obtained results. The independent variable in this research is the sauna and dependent variables are blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation. Results: Blood pressure values were at employee of sauna lower than at other probands, thereby was confirmed hypothesis, but expected significant differences between the measured values of each group were absent. At the same time there was a further confirmation of the hypothesis concerning heart rate, which was increased at all probands. The last confirmed hypothesis related to the blood oxygen saturation and its reduce after the sauna. It could be said that all the defined hypotheses were confirmed. Keywords: sauna, blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, cardiovascular system

Michalcová, Eliška ; Zahálka, František (advisor) ; Heller, Jan (referee)
Title: The effect of kinesiotaping for flat foot correction in association with selected parameters of gait for a specific group of people Objectives: The primary objective of this experiment was to determine whether and to what extent the application of kinesio tape to flat foot (utilising a functional correction technique) can influence the positioning of the specific segments of the body and thereby implement change to walking stereotype. Methods: Biomechanical measurement of the gait of eleven specifically selected people with the clinical symptoms of flat foot was implemented. First we recorded measurements prior to the intervention and then again, subsequent to the application of kinesio tape for a defined period. Probands retained the tape in place for the following four days and then the measuring was repeated both prior and subsequent to the removal of the tape. To determine any potential changes to the statics, initially the measuring of the postural stability prior to the intervention was first implemented in the experiment and subsequently again when the kinesio tape was removed after it had been worn for four days. This measurement was carried out using the Footscan apparatus (RSscan International, Belgium) and any potential differences in six variant modes of posture were determined....

Title: The energy cost of ski mountaineering. Aim: The aim of study was determine effect of speed and slope on energy expenditure during ski mountaineering. Methods: Twelve athletes (mean age 30 ± 8 years,) took part in the study. This was random intragroup experiment. The energy expenditure was determined by spiroergometry based on the ratio of O2 and CO2 exhaled. The anthropometric values and individual ventilation parameters was measured and followed individual warming up. The study was undertaken on the treadmill (Saturn HP Cosmos, Germany) allow to walking with specially adapted roller skis and poles modified for ski mountaineering. The test was initiated by a warm-up lasting for 4 minutes at speed at 3.5 km·h-1 and 16% slope. The next measurements consisted of 4 parts: walking at 24% gradient and speed 3.5 km·h-1 , 20% gradient and speed 4.2 km·h-1 , 16% gradient and speed 5.1 km·h-1 and 12% slope with a speed 6.8 km·h-1 . The load lasted for 8 minutes 30 seconds in order to achieve the elevation 200 m. The passive recovery for 20-25 minutes was administered between each measurement. Results: When the body was after the warm-up on load, the average energy expenditure nonlinearly increased with decreasing slope and increasing speed. The average energy expenditure at 24% slope and speed 3.5...

Kozel, Jakub ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Heller, Jan (referee)
Title: Biomechanical reflection of the cervicocranial part during frontal impact Objectives: The aim of the work was to analyze in which parameters differs ATD from human participant during frontal impact. Characterize the head movement, compare maximal post impact head speed between ATD and human volunteers and defereneces between volunteer with eye control and without. Methods: Measuring was done with 8 volunteers and ATD (Manikin, 50th percentile man). For each volunteer were done two measurements, first without eye control and second with eye control. ATD was measured twice. It was recorded by Qualisys system, specifically by three optical cameras, on crash simulator. Results were processed in Qualisys Track Manager. There were tracked three markers, two on the body - forehead, shoulder and one on the sledge. Results: Results showed that speed of the head depends on eye control. Volunteer without eye control had higher post impact speed of head (4,94 m/s) than ATD (3,67 m/s) and volunteer with eye contact (3,19 m/s). Quite the same result was observed in change of distance between head and sledge after impact. There was higher value for volunteer without eye contact than for ATD.
