Examination of respiratory disorders stereotypes and their effects on the musculoskeletal system PF JU students aged 19 to 25 years
MAREŠ, Martin
The main task of this thesis was an examination of breathing stereotypes on selected students of Pedagogical faculty aged from 19 to 25. The other objective was to develop an intervention programme according to which the selected students participated in six weeks lasting workouts that were focused on breath training with consecutive heightening of their physical efficiency. A method of content analysis was used for analysing literature and a method of content synthesis was used for application of gathered information and for creating the intervention programme. For the examination of breathing stereotypes a muscle dynamometer was used which is able to record a movement dynamics and simultaneously to record a breathing activity dynamics. The vital capacity was measured through a forced expiratory vital capacity (FVC) when also a value of one second exhale was recorded (FEV1). This test was performed in standing upright position on the machine Spirometr Otthon, evaluation was processed in the Thorsoft programme. The study was participated by six students who at first passed out an entrance examination where the main values were defined, then the intervention programme and after the end of it the participants underwent a checking (output) examination. During processing of the thesis it was confirmed that the developed intervention programme, which is based on aerobic exercises and completed with resistance training, has a factual and statistical significant effect on strengthening the respiratory muscles which are activated by the diaphragmatic breathing within resting breathing and deepened breathing. For the determination of the substantive significance the Cohen's d was used, then the paired Student´s t test for dependent samples.

Rajnošek, Bharata ; SLOVÁČEK, Antonín (advisor) ; SOUKUP, Luboš (referee)
This thesis called Breath and Embouchure Exercises for Saxophone deals with the methodology of teaching techniques on the saxophone in a broader sense of all influences on tone creation. It begins with physical posture, continues with basic breathing techniques and only after their expected mastering proceeds to special techniques, which allow mastering of embouchure techniques and habits.
This thesis follows and complements the publication of David Liebman: How to Play the Saxophone. The author goes more in depth where Liebman is too brief. He is not satisfied with just enumerating playing techniques but tries a view from the other side - from quality-aesthetic requirements to individual exercises.
The focus of the thesis is to develop of a comprehensive system of exercises that leads those concerned through individual successive steps towards the ideal mastery of the tone creation technology.
The aim is to provide reassurance to seekers on their way. The author as a teacher makes his proven system available also for other students.
