Crkalová, Monika ; Křivánková, Markéta (advisor) ; Daďová, Klára (referee)
Title: Effect of neurotraining on post-concussion syndrome in a football player - a case report Aims: The aim of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of neurotraining for alleviating the symptoms of post-concussion syndrome using a case study of an adult football player after concussion. Methods: The case-control study used the test, re-test technique. The standardized SCAT5 questionnaire, neuroimaging system testing using optotype, prismatic flipper 6/12, Neurotracker, RightEye and Senaptec Sensory Station were used to assess changes in the effectiveness of the method. Stability measurements were performed using the Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite and, for cognitive function, the Stroop effect. Next, a neurodiagnostic was performed, based on which the proband was selected to perform neurotraining exercises for two months (visual system and mechanoreception were tested). Results: The proband improved in visual acuity by 20 %, vergence flexibility by 44 %, neurocognitive function by 44 %, reaction time by 29 %, depth of field binocularly by 12 %, visualization by 6 % and improved on the neurotracker by 0.3. There was a slight deterioration in left eye accommodation and binocularity by 5 %, depth of field in the right eye by 1 %, in the left eye by 4 %, and in the transition of focus from long...

Barriers and facilitators of sport activities in adults with congenital physical disabilities: A Systematic Review
Šašek, Vít ; Daďová, Klára (advisor) ; Vařeková, Jitka (referee)
Title: Barriers and facilitators of sport activities in adults with congenital physical disabilities: A Systematic Review Background: Globally, there are over a billion individuals with disabilities in the world. Those individuals may have one or more physical attributes affected by their condition, restricting their access to sports, fitness activities, and physical tasks related to work or household activities. The lack of exercise poses a significant public health concern and may hinder undisputed benefits for physical and psychological of individual well-being. Objectives: The main objective of this thesis was to systematically review available research sources on sport and physical activity participation among adults with congenital disabilities and to identify the barriers and facilitators for such individuals to participate in physical activities and para sport. Methods: Four databases - Medline, PubMed, ERIC and Sportsdiscus were searched using terms: exercise; para sport, training, physical activity, continuous exercise, and the range of congenital disabilities. We employed a blend of MeSH terms specific to the database, free-form text, wildcard characters (employing '*' to truncate words), and Boolean operators ('AND', 'OR'). Only papers published from 2003 were included and the search...

Author: Kateřina Sýkorová Title: The effect of an activation program on the self-sufficiency of seniors in a nursing home Objectives: The main objective of the work was to find out whether, after the program, there will be an improvement in self-sufficiency in a group of probands from a nursing home. Methods: The study involved a group of 5 participants from a senior care home, ranging in age from 70 to 90. The group consisted of one male and four female participants. Each participant was engaged in individual exercise lessons focused on the development of fine motor skills, dexterity, and development of sensorimotor functions for 8 weeks (1 lesson per week). The Moberg Pick-Up Test was used to assess the functions mentioned above before and after the intervention. The test was carried out four times with each participant; twice on both the dominant and non-dominant hand, once with visual control and the second time without visual control. Furthermore, after the intervention the participants subjectively evaluated the change in their self-sufficiency using a questionnaire. Results: From the results of the Moberg-Pick Up Test suggest that there was an improvement in 8 out of 16 measurements of fine motor skills. Two participants showed improvement in speed by more than 10 % multiple times....

Ski course of children with mental disabilities
Buroňová, Zuzana ; Pavlová, Ilona (advisor) ; Daďová, Klára (referee)
Title: Ski course of children with mental disabilities Aim of thesis: To develop a set of individual preparatory exercises for training of downhill and cornering techniques in alpine skiing for children with mental retardation. The sub-objective was to test the mastery of individual elements of skiing skills and skiing technique in several children with mental retardation who had completed a ski course Method: This is a theoretical-empirical research. A set of preparatory exercises was tested on a cohort of four children with a diagnosis according to ICD-10in the range F70- 79. Mastery of the skills was assessed using a Likert scale (1-5). Children were observed performing specified, pre-explained and demonstrated skiing skills a total of three times (at the beginning, middle and end of the ski course). Results: A set of preparatory exercises was compiled and tested on a six-day ski course. It showed that children with intellectual disabilities ranging from mild to moderate mental retardation are able to learn and, with prior experience, improve their skiing skills. The child with severe mental retardation did not acquire the skills as he was unable to accept the ski equipment and therefore did not participate in the lessons. All three children who received lessons improved in most of their skiing...

Title: Lifestyle Factors and Successful Ageing: A Systematic Review on the SuperAger Phenomenon Background: As the world's population continues to age, the importance of studying the elders becomes more relevant. Age is one of the most prominent risk factors for diseases and understanding how to overcome or prevent the onset of any of them should be the goal for us as health promoting professionals. One of the straight-forward preventive measures is lifestyle. Objectives: The aim of this thesis was to assemble lifestyle factors that potentially contribute to the successful ageing of SuperAgers. Methods: A total of 6 databases were systematically reviewed using keywords established to help answer the review question. 654 studies were identified through the primary search and 10 studies were identified by hand search. After removing the duplicates, another 590 studies were excluded and 20 studies were selected for further eligibility. These studies were assessed using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. Results: The number of studies finally retrieved from the systematic search was 20. Physical activity was identified as the most likely lifestyle factor to be positively associated with SuperAgeing. Social engagement, diet and adherence to cognitive activities were also found to be influential, as opposed to...

Author: Bc.Helena Mikošková Title: Omega-3 fatty acid consumption in women over 80 years of age and its relation to physical activity and cognitive function Objectives: To compare dietary patterns of omega-3 fatty acid (FA) consumption in physically active and inactive women and to investigate the relationship of this consumption with cognitive function levels. Methods: Thirty-eight women aged 80 to 87 years (mean 82.9±2.13) were included in the study and divided into 2 groups. The first group (N=20) consisted of women who used to be active in middle age (30-60 years of age and performed a minimum of 2.5 hours/week of physical activity (PA)). The second group (N=18) consisted of inactive women who performed PA in less than the above range in middle age. Feeding habits were assessed with a food frequency questionnaire and cognitive function was assessed with the Mini Mental State Examination, Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, Path Test, Verbal Fluency Test (animals), and Boston Naming Test-30. Results: Dietary habits with respect to omega-3 FA consumption did not differ between groups. It was also found that less then 50% of all women interviewed followed the general recommendations for fish consumption. No relationship was found between consumption of omega-3 FAs from natural sources and...
