Bushuev, Timofey ; Gryc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Miřátský, Petr (referee)
Title: An analysis of training load in standard and Latin American ballroom dancing in 10-15 years old children Aims: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to study the intensity of physical activity of dancers during the performance of standard and Latin American dances. The analysis of the intensity of exercise will allow a deeper understanding of the effect of these dances on the human body and provide recommendations for an effective training process for dancers. Young dancers are often unaware that dance can be classified as an anaerobic sport with physiological demands similar to traditional anaerobic sports such as sprinting, swimming and weightlifting. The aim of this study is also to uncover the problems associated with the intensity of physical activity during the training of ballroom dances and to investigate the effect of these dances on the physical preparation of dancers. The research question focuses on the intensity of the dancers' physical exertion and the factors affecting this exertion. The results of the study could assist dance physiologists, physical therapists, and pediatricians in preventing growth-related injuries in young dancers. Methods: respondents were approached through dance studios, clubs and online sources. Data collection was systematic over a two-month period....

Malinová, Viktorie ; Pavlová, Ilona (advisor) ; Mahrová, Andrea (referee)
Title: Facilitators and barriers associated with the performance of physical activities by individuals with intellectual disabilities from the perspective of caregivers. Objectives: The aim of the bachelor thesis was to identify which barriers and facilitators appear when performing physical activity by individuals with intellectual disabilities from the point of view of caregivers. The results of the survey were intended to outline the above and specify the extent to which they are considered barriers or facilitators, thus providing insight into the problem of finding solutions that would result in minimal barriers for caregivers. Methods: Data for mixed empirical research were collected using a self-designed questionnaire. The questionnaire focused on identifying facilitators and barriers perceived by respondents. The research was conducted in January and February of 2024. During these months, 100 respondents filled-out the questionnaire. The respondents were individuals caring for individuals with intellectual disabilities, from Prague and central Bohemian region aged 30-65 years. Results: Physical activity for individuals with intellectual disabilities is clearly very important from the caregivers' perspective. The most common facilitator for performing physical activity reported by caregivers...

The effect of an intervention exercise program on the physical fitness of unfit soldiers in the 142nd repair battalion Klatovy
Ploček, David ; Přívětivý, Lubomír (advisor) ; Bunc, Václav (referee)
Title: The effect of an intervention exercise program on the physical fitness of unfit soldiers in the 142nd Klatovy repair battalion. Objectives: This thesis examines the effect of a selected intervention program on professional soldiers who do not reach the set standards during the annual physical fitness test. Other sub-goals can look for connections between the established intervention program, the development of endurance abilities and the influence of selected physical parameters. Methods: Content analysis, measurement, methods of mathematical-statistical analysis, comparison, analysis and synthesis were used in this work. Results: The results of the work show that the influence of the selected intervention program is not automatically positive. For more than half of the soldiers, the intervention program did not lead to meeting the standards, even though their physical fitness may have improved. Keywords: Physical activity, Army of the Czech Republic, intervention program, endurance skills

Physical activity during pregnancy
Arabaszová, Zuzana ; Macková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Vojtěch, Jiří (referee)
1 Abstract The subject of this bachelor thesis is physical activity during pregnancy. The main goal of the thesis is to evaluate the influence of education on women's attitude towards physical activity during pregnancy. Furthermore, we evaluate the effect of place of residence on the level of activity and the effect of activity on weight gain during pregnancy. The work is structured into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part provides an overview of bodily changes during pregnancy and describes a wide range of potential physical activities performed by pregnant women, including their benefits and risks. Finally, in the theoretical part, we deal with myths associated with physical activity during pregnancy and their refutation. The research part is based on data collection using online questionnaires distributed through websites for pregnant and postpartum women. A descriptive analysis of the collected data was first performed, then we assessed the level of physical activity, its preferred types, the importance that women attach to physical activity during pregnancy, the acceptability of individual activities, the influence of age and residence on the choice and amount of activity performed, the approach to weight regulation increase and its influence on the amount of activity performed....

The role of swimming of the robusticity of the human upper limb
Toperczerová, Barbora ; Sládek, Vladimír (advisor) ; Struška, Michal (referee)
This bachelor thesis discusses effect of regular swimming on human bone tissue robusticity. The goal of this thesis is to summarize results of studies focusing on bone tissue of swimmers and to describe why is the bone tissue of swimmers less robust than bone tissue of individuals participating in other athletic activities. In the first part of the thesis, robusticity, bone modeling and remodeling, and responses of bone tissue on athletic activity are described. Further, the thesis focuses specifically on regular swimming. Forces, which are acting upon swimmers body and which are making swimming possible, are described. Next, four swimming strokes are described and which muscles have the highest contributions in those four swimming strokes. Bone tissue properties are compared between swimmers, other athletes and non-athletes. Special attention is given to bone tissue of human upper limbs. Lastly, the effects of weightlessness environment and absence of mechanical stimuli is described. Key words robusticity, bone functional adaptation, swimming, swimming strokes, upper limb

Quality of life in the elderly population in the Czech Republic
Pojerová, Jana ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Šorfová, Monika (referee)
Title: Quality of life in the elderly population in the Czech Republic Objectives: The aim of the study is to assess the quality of life of older people in the Czech Republic in relation to physical activity and to explore their awareness of the concept of frailty. The sub-objectives include a literature search of the issue and elaboration of theoretical background and formulation of research questions on the basis of these. A further objective is then to conduct the research itself, consisting of a one-off survey using a guided interview. Finally, a detailed analysis of the interviews, processing of the results and discussion. Methods: The paper uses the method of research of available Czech and foreign literature sources and the method of structured interview with a predetermined battery of questions for data collection. Opinions on healthy ageing, physical activity and its impact on quality of life and frailty were explored through the interview. A total of 17 older adults were interviewed. Analysis of the interviews was then carried out according to the methodology of Giorgi (1985) to determine the results. Results: Among other factors, physical activity has a positive impact on the quality of life of older people in the Czech Republic. It is also independence, psychological well-being, social...

The effect of the circadian rhythm on the work of a paramedic
ŠEDIVÝ, Martin
The topic of the bachelor's thesis is "The effect of the circadian rhythm on the work of a paramedic". Most rescuers may not even realize the great sacrifice they make by performing this demanding profession. This is a very respectable job, which is burdened with a huge amount of stress and a demanding work schedule. The combination of these two unfavorable factors may have a negative impact on the health of rescuers over a longer period of time. The theoretical part deals with the explanation of the term circadian rhythm, sleep and its structure, nutrition, physical activities, blue light, caffeine, health complications that are the result of a disturbed circadian rhythm and the effect of circadian rhythmicity on work efficiency. The research part was implemented using semi-structured interviews, and 12 informants who are employed at the South Bohemian Region Medical Rescue Service in the position of paramedic were included in the research investigation. Each informant was asked the same questions, which were then evaluated using the coding technique and were divided into several categories and subcategories. The main topics for responding the objective of the work were health complications of shift work, adaptation to shift work, principles of proper nutrition and sleeping habits. Research has shown that the circadian rhythm affects the work of a paramedic, but it is very individual and affects each paramedic in a different way. Alternating irregular shifts are difficult to get used to, and working at night is not ideal from a physiological point of view. Most of the rescuers confirmed to us that they had a lower work performance and a longer reaction time during the night hours. Furthermore, night shifts have a negative effect on the health of workers, and health complications may occur years later, which may not allow rescuers to continue to perform their work as well as before.

The impact of specific food types and physical activity on breast cancer incidence and development in women
Dvořáková, Tereza ; Matoulek, Martin (advisor) ; Šuta Kimle, Katarína (referee)
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among women globally. Modifiable risk factors such as diet and physical activity play a significant role in developing prevention strategies and interventions. The influence of diet and physical activity on the incidence and development of breast cancer is a subject of ongoing research. Healthy lifestyle patterns, characterized by balanced nutrition and regular physical activity, have shown positive implications in preventing the onset of breast cancer. The practical part of this paper uses data from 15 patients who participated in and completed the three-month ONKO-FIT intervention programme. The program aimed to evaluate the effects of targeted nutritional and exercise therapy on the physical condition of breast cancer patients. While the results did not show a statistically significant improvement due to the relatively small sample size, there was a non-zero positive effect, suggesting a possible influence of the therapy on the patients' physical condition. These initial findings underline the potential benefits of such lifestyle interventions, which could significantly impact the treatment and recovery process for breast cancer patients. However, these results also highlight the need for further studies with larger sample sizes to confirm the...
