The Effect of Intermittent Compression Therapy on Muscle Fatigue in Soccer Players
Farová, Michaela ; Vomáčková, Helena (advisor) ; Kučerová, Ilona (referee)
Title: Effect of intermittent compression on muscle fatigue in football players Objectives: The first aim was to determine if and what effect of compression intermittent and cryo-compression intermittent therapy has on muscle fatigue parameters in soccer players. The second aim was to elucidate whether one of the interventions could be described as more effective for player's recovery (reduction of muscle fatigue). Methods: This pilot study was designed to clarify whether compression intermittently affects muscle fatigue parameters and to compare the effect of each intervention with each other. Data collection was conducted on a research cohort of 21 soccer players ranging in age from 18 to 22 years with a mean age of 19.8 ± 1.33 years, height 176.1 ± 3.6 cm, weight 72.8 ± 4 kg, and BMI 23.5 ± 1.3 kg/m2 . Ten probands were from the U19 team, seven from the men's B team and four players from the men's A team. In total, the probands were divided into three groups, control, compression and cryo- compression (n=7,7,7). The monitored variable was the height of the Counter Movement Jump at different time points in this pilot study. Data were measured using OptoJump Next. Muscle fatigue at 24 hours after the intervention was assessed based on the differences in CMJ height of each proband, and the...

Ankle Stabilization of Hurdle Athletes as a Prevention of Injury
FAROVÁ, Michaela
This thesis is about Ankle Stabilization of Hurdle Athletes as a Prevention of Injury which are typical for this discipline. The aim of this work is to create an exercise and physiotherapy protocol focused on stabilization of ankle joint in purppose to prevent the most common injuries of hurdle athletes and comparing the stability of rebound and non-rebound lower limb. In the first part of the thesis, I present theoretical knowledge that provides the basis for the research part. This part summarizes general information about anatomy, postural stability, terminology associated with the posture and stabilization, the function of the ankle joint and the foot, the most common injuries of the ankle joint caused by hurdling, and the possibilities of physiotherapy interventons, which could be used to decrease a risk of causes of the mentioned injuries. In the practical part, research reports of 5 probands who have been involved in athletics for several years and in recent years they have specialized in short tracks - 60 m, 100 m and 110 m hurdles. Posturographic messuarement objectively assessing postural stability - Modified CTSIB, Stability Evaluation Test and Weight Bearing Test. One of the aims of this research is to set and implement an intervention to influence stability of the joing by influencing proprioception, muscle strength, mobilization, soft tissue treatment and othrers. and overall body posture. The results are shown as positive, when there was a reduction in the initial values Sway Velocity (deg/sec). Proband has in average lower values of Sway Velocity in five tests from seven. The same results were shown in average in one test from seven and worst results had proband in average in two from seven tests. Lower values of SV indicate an improvement in postural stability. Unfortunately the number of proband in this research was changed and the number for average values are counted with number of three probands.
