Demands of the Teacher's Proffesion on the Teachers' Voice
Králová, Michaela ; Tichá, Alena (advisor) ; Koverdynský, Luděk (referee)
This dissertation thesis deals with the demands on teachers' voice and proper use of voice in the teacher's profession. The whole thesis consists of two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part is divided into nine sections: the anatomy and physiology of the vocal tract, voice developement, comparison of spoken and singing voice, psychological impact on voice, voice defects and hygiene, voice reeducation, methods of voice diagnostics and voice acoustics. The research part presents the findings of acoustic voice measurement. Students (only women) of Faculty of Education in Prague participed in the research. The objective of this part was to asses the quality of students' voice and their voice readiness for future teaching.

The significance of physiotherapy after the surgeries of tumoral processes through the thoracic way
Hrbáčková, Karolína ; Zadražilová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee)
Tumoral diseases of the lungs are one of the most frequent causes of hospitalization and necessary surgical interventions in the chest area. The most common is bronchogenic carcinoma, which is mentioned as the most common malignancy among men in incidence and mortality. In women it occupies the third place. Worldwide, it results in 20% of all deaths from oncological causes. The main theoretical part of this bachelor's thesis is focused on the possibilities of physiotherapy with patients after chest surgery emphasizing respiratory physiotherapy. Part of the practical section of this bachelor's thesis reviews questionnaires distributed to the patients with the aim of analyzing patient participation, the quality of and satisfaction with their preoperative and early postoperative rehabilitation and interest in outpatient rehabilitation. A case report of a patient who underwent chest surgery due to a lung cancer is added.

Breathing and respiration as the source domain of conceptual metaphors in Czech
Bulak, Patrik ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Janovec, Ladislav (referee)
Bachelor thesis is focused on the semantic sphere of breathing and respiration. It is based on theories and methods of cognitive-cultural approach to language. The first chapter concerns the conceptual metaphor theory, metonymy cognitive concepts and the metaphor combined with metonymy (the metaphtonymy). The next chapter brings examined semantic sphere based on data from interpretation, etymological dictionaries etc. The attention is drawn in particular on metaphor and metonymy, to which the data refer. The third chapter deals with the physical experience of breathing in its entirety (sensory perception of breathing and experiencing of own respiration). There is also outlined, how this experience base is projected into the language. The crucial chapter of the thesis presents the classification of the collected material of language: it shows which target domains are related to source domain of breathing and respiration on the metaphorical expressions excerpted from phraseological dictionaries in the form of idioms. Research has shown that the breathing and respiration in the source domain are used primarily metonymically. Then it is possible to distinguish the metaphors from metonymy (metaphtonymies) and the "pure" metaphors (personifications). Based on the data interpretation there are at the end...

Affecting parameters of respiratory gas exchange by use of incentive spirometers
Senohrábková, Eva ; Matouš, Miloš (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee)
introduction: The theoretical part of the thesis briefly analyzes the anatomical, kinesiological and physiological aspects of breathing, pursues the issue of examinations of lung functions and also includes a chapter which applies to incentive spirometers. The experimental part of the work examines the impact of three-week training with trainer Coach2 on parameters of respiratory gas exchange at rest and during the exercise in healthy subjects. methods: Both output and control tests included spirometry and spiroergometry examination. The experimental group consisted of 10 subjects, control group consisted of 9 subjects. results: Our results show a significant influence especially on an increase in FVC, decreased respiratory rate at submaximal intensities of exercise and increased breathing rate at maximum load and also an increase in tidal volume at all load levels. Minute ventilation at maximum load increased by an average of 15.17 liters. The control group did not show any improvement. conclusion: It appears that training with trainer Coach2 might be effective in influencing certain ventilatory parameters at rest as well as during the exercise.

Alterations kinematics of thorax after thoracic surgeries
Sidorenková, Olga ; Babková, Lenka (advisor) ; Tomší, Adéla (referee)
This theses discusses thoracic surgeries and their effect on thoracic kinematics since those patients aren't usually indicated for outpatients physiotherapy. Theses observes the changes of thoracic kinematice in time withnout the interference of outpatient physiotherapy. Patients were acquainted during their hospitalization and they received a flyer. The theoretical part focuses on thoracic surgeries, options of respiratory physiotherapy and effects of thoracic surgeries on patients. The practical part observers the effect of thoracic surgery on chest expansion, development of pain (using Visual pain scale and Questionnaire of pain interference with daily activities) and effect of the surgery on quality of life using WHOQOL BREF questionnaire.

Biomechanical chracteristics of nonstationary respiration as possible identificator of tiredeness under hypokinetic loading
Lopotová, Martina ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Eck, Vladimír (referee) ; Smrčka, Pavel (referee)
The general topic of this work is to reveal the potential relationship between tiredness cause by hypokinetic monotonous loading and breathing. The aim was to determine if there are suitable respiratory parameters that would indicate this tirednes and, if so, then verify their validity for predicting the tiredness phenomena accompanying huge range of everyday human activities. The performed experiment was attended by five volunteers who absolved measurements of electrical activity of brain, of breathing and of chest volume changes. The course of the experiment and the behaviour of probands were recorded by a camera. In the first part of each maesuremnt, a specified monotonous task (Task Tracking) was performed. The probands have had to follow the target moving with pseudocasual direction and speed by the cursor on the monitor. This task currently reflected the level of reliability and quality of the performed aktivity. In the second part of measurement, the probands had just to relax and watch a movie. Both parts were measured in two conditions - alert and tired (after 24 hours of sleep deprivation) proband. The data were compared with each other and evaluated. The measurements and the results showed that the rate of the tiredness can be fairly reliably assessed by monitoring of the volume...

Use of yoga in physical therapy in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Fragnerová, Marie ; Šebek, Milan (advisor) ; Pudilová, Veronika (referee)
OF BACHELOR THESIS Title: Use of yoga in physical therapy in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Abstract This bachelor thesis is focused on the use of yoga in physical therapy in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In the theoretical part the anatomy and physiology of the upper and lower motor neuron is explained as well as the symptoms of their lesion. Next, the problematics of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is covered. Epidemiology, etiology, symptoms and different types of ALS are explained along with the description of each stage and the possible care in each of them. The second part of the theory covers yoga, most importantly yoga breathing, the importance of it and different types of techniques. Next, the execution of the asanas and their kinesiology are described. This thesis also covers the influence of yoga on mental and physical health, but also on the health condition of an ALS patient. Practical part contains a handbook made for the purpose of this bachelor thesis. There are 4 yoga breathing techniques and 8 yoga positions that were chosen to improve breathing. This handbook was used in therapy of 2 ALS patients. The results from each therapy are part of 2 case reports that are also part of this thesis. Key words Motor neuron disease, ALS, physiotherapy, yoga, yoga breathing
