Title: Comparison of psychological hardiness in para swimmers with different training intensities Objectives: The aim of the thesis is to compare psychological hardiness level among impaired para swimmers and non-sporting impaired individuals. The goal is to find out if the impaired para swimmers achieve higher hardiness level in comparison with their non-sporting counterparts. Methods: We measured and evaluated the hardiness level of all participants as well as their selected subgroups. The Personal Views Survey created by Kobasa in 1985 was used in Google Forms to get the data. In total 117 respondents were asked to complete the survey, however only 45 took part in the end. All the participants accepted an informed consent beforehand. We used the two-samples-unpaired T-test with unequal variance. Results: Neither of the two proposed hypothesis was confirmed and we did not find any significant difference in targeted subgroups either. Keywords: Physical impairment, adapted physical activities, swimming, stress, sport psychology, hardiness, self-knowledge

Title: Sugestion on database of sports assistance for handicaped people Objective: A suggestion to create a database of sport assistants for handicapped people. The database should reflect the needs of handicapped people as much as possible and simultaneously respect assistants' real possibilities. Methods: In our thesis we used a descriptive research method of quantitative character containing some qualitative features. The research concentrated on 2 groups "users" and "assistants" via electronic online survey. Results: We found out that most of the handicapped people do not have a person with whom they could do sport activity as often as wanted. It is a reason why they do sport less. The users are willing to pay for assistance more than expected. The assistants are obliging to provide more hours of assistance on the grounds of pay rise. The results offer sufficient amount of information to create a database of sport assistants for handicapped people. Keywords: Sports assitant, assistance, adaped physical activities, disability sports
