Title: Design of compensatory exercises for kitesurfing Objectives: The aim of the bachelor thesis is to briefly characterize kitesurfing as a sport, to describe its possible influence on the musculoskeletal system and to create a set of compensatory exercises with and without the use of equipment, including several compensatory programs. Methods: The work was based on the collection and analysis of available information obtained from literature and internet sources. The basis for the selection of the proposed compensatory exercises was professional literature and articles focused on the elimination of muscle imbalances and injury prevention. The design of short compensatory programs was also based on own experience gained during kitesurfing. Results: Based on the available information from literature and articles, it was found that the most common injuries are to the lower limbs, especially the knee and ankle joints, as a result of problems during landing, manoeuvre or jump. Overuse areas include the lumbar spine, abdominal muscles and thighs. Problems related to the safety system, inability to relax and shallow water, which is risky on impact, are usually cited as the cause of trauma and accidents. Keywords: kitesurfing, muscle imbalance, injury, compensatory exercise
