Comparative analysis of selected coordinate indicators in front crawl swiming technique and crawling
Vodička, Radek ; Sýkora, Karel (advisor) ; Kračmar, Bronislav (referee)
AABBSSTTRRAACCTT Title: Comparative analysis of selected coordinate indicators in front crawl swimming technique and crawling. Purposes: The first aim of thesis is to compare coordinate indictors of average swimming cycle and average crawling cycle. Methods: Surface electromyography of muscular activity combined with cinematography analysis used synchronized video recording. Intraindividual comparative analysis and subsequent interindividual comparison of timing muscular activation in one average swimming and crawling cycle. Results: The timing of muscular activity of m. pectoralis major and m. latissimus dorsi during swimming cycle was identical for all probands. This phenomenon was not found in crawling . Key words: Swimming technique, Front Crawl, crawling, EMG, muscle, locomotion, shoulder girdle

The role of PCr/CK shuttle in adult rat myocardium under normoxic hypoxic conditions
Honcová, Lada ; Žurmanová, Jitka (advisor) ; Novotný, Jiří (referee)
The creatine kinase (CK) is an important enzyme of cell energy metabolism in excitable tissue. It occurs in four isoforms. Two cytosolic isoforms are functional in mono and hetero dimers and two mitochondrial isoforms reach tetramer and octamer forms. Its primary function is the regeneration of ATP close to ATPases and phosphocreatine pool from creatine and ATP, which gives its posphate in places of acute requirements of high energy demand. Dysfunction of CK is connected with heart, muscle and neurological diseases and CK is often used as a clinical indicator. This work is focused to the role of CK in energy metabolism of hypoxia adapted myocardium. CK thaks to production of ADP in mitochondria decreases a membrane potential as well as production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS cause most of damage during ischemic heart disease and infarct of myocardium. That`s why cardioprotective effects and CK itself during hypoxia are investigated.

Porcelain disease in crayfish: biology, impacts and distribution
Jelínková, Tereza ; Balcarová, Eva (advisor) ; Vávra, Jiří (referee)
The porcelain disease is a disease affecting crayfish caused by the microsporidium Thelohania contejeani. This intracellular parasite attacks muscle cells of the host and fills them with spores. This leads to white or opaque colouration of the abdominal muscle of crayfish, which is characteristic for this disease. The parasite gradually attacks more muscle fibers which probably leads to decrease of locomotor activity of affected crayfish and finally may result in their death. T. contejeani at low prevalences does not represent a real danger to crayfish populations and thus it is not as serious threat as crayfish plague. However, it has been associated with several cases of mass mortalities too. This thesis summarizes essential findings about infection by this parasite, analyzes its impacts to the host and factors that can influence transmission and progress of this disease. It also describes a life cycle of T. contejeani, summarizes records of the occurrence of this parasite and evaluates risks which it poses to crayfish populations. Finally, methods used to detect infection are described. Keywords: Thelohania contejeani, porcelain disease, crayfish, microsporidia, parasite, muscle

Effect of botulinum toxin use in muscle spasticity
Tintěrová, Alena ; Kraus, Josef (advisor) ; Smékal, David (referee)
This study has brought an overview of botulinum toxin and its influence on the human muscles, especially on spastic muscles. In the practical part is resumed experience with botulinum toxin A therapy in children with cerebral palsy. There were observed two groups. Group A (n=9) was measured before and after therapy. Patients in group B (n=24) filled out a table of the global spasticity scale, which they returned by mail. All the patients improved after the treatment. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

A Recognition of the efficiency of a 12 Weeks Long Regular Home Exercise on Mobility in The Covid Emergency State
Konvář, Jan ; Kainová, Lucie (advisor) ; Panská, Šárka (referee)
The topic of this work is to qualify an efficiency of regular exercise on thoracic spine, hip joint and ankle improvement. There was a qualitative research used for achieving the main goal (by using questionaries and tests, created by myself, to test the mobility of these selected body segments. A positive influence of this regular exercise on mobility was found out in this resrearch, although bigger differences have been expected in individual segments. A possitive impact on mental health was also shown, as was on physical health. Some health issues, which have apeared in the beginnig of this exercise, also dissapeared after a completion of this program.
