HROMKOVÁ, Renata
The demographic composition of the population is currently changing. The amount of economically inactive inhabitants is increasing, especially the older them 60. An aging population is not only the economic-social problem, its also the issue of society?s attitude as a whole towards these individuals. The involutional process is irreversible, but it is important to support senior?s activities toward encouragement more active lifestyle. To build up a comprehensive fitness of aging population, we can use many different strategies to help us with fulfilling the needs of seniors. One of the possible ways is to use Pilates Method for seniors. Exercising seniors into three groups according to their abilities and skills and I developed for them an exercising scheme. The practical part includes elaborated individual exercises in different options according to each participants personal capabilities.

Children?s centres within the social context in the Czech Republic
HROMKOVÁ, Renata
The establishment of children?s centres started in 1992 spontaneously and following the children?s centres principal in Germany, a principal of mutual help. Presently, there are many entities ? also commercial ones ? using this name. The Citizens Association called Children?s Centres Network was established in 2001 and it is the umbrella organisation of approx. 330 children?s centres, which declare their alignment with both the original idea and with the well spread role of supporting the family values and inter-generation relations, role of parents, mother and father role within the society, family legal protection and equal opportunities and support of healthy life in healthy environment. Children?s centres have been established in big cities, towns and also in villages. The children?s centres operators are usually also their direct users and they define their activities according to their own wishes, and therefore the children?s centres offer a large variety of activities. The research part of the thesis mapped the centres and the offer of their services; children?s centres fulfil their communication and intermediation function between families with small children and the society. Children?s centres create both safe and open space for meeting with other people and for strengthening the role of family in the present society. However, current clients of children?s centres have higher requirements as compared to their predecessors 20 years ago and they request educational, cultural and sporting activities. Nowadays, the clients wish the children?s centres to be the tradition bearers and to help with the support of healthy life style. Children?s centres play an irreplaceable role in identifying pathological phenomena in families and they help with the primary lay prophylaxis. The professionalization of social service provided in children?s centres stumbles over short-term links to the activities in the centres and over the operators? and users? lack of interest. The children?s centres play a significant role in local civil activities, when new family friendly locations or activities are created. This year the 20th anniversary of establishment of first children?s centres is celebrated and the research in this bachelor?s thesis will be useful material for the called Children?s Centres Network in order to assess and evaluate the currently offered service and it may also provide the possible direction of the future development in children?s centres. A round table discussion took place in the Haštalská YMCA Praha Family Centre on 25th April 2012, where the research results of this thesis were used.
