HEJNOVÁ, Martina
The bachelor thesis theme "Nordic Walking and its effects on selected anthropometric parameters and fitness for women from the age of 45 " is focused on fitness changes and changes in their body composition during a twelve-week-long training cycle. The work is divided into a theoretical and a research part. The definition of walking technique of Nordic walking, its benefits and its effects, is defined in the theoretical part. There are also described body structure indicators and a physical activity influence on the organism. There is a study sample characteristic, the methods which were used and the overall evaluation of results in the research part. The educational material intended for measured probands is in the appendix.

The Health Risks Analysis in the Workplace of Stone Quarries, Measure and Evaluation
STODOLOVSKÁ, Květa
The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the work environment of quarries. Four research questions were asked: What factors can be determined in the working environment of quarries? Are hygienic limits of the monitored factors in the work environment of quarries respected? What measures to protect the health of workers in the quarries are applied by the employers? Are the proposed measures to protect employees' health effective? The bachelor thesis was conducted as qualitative research. Conditions in two quarries in the South Bohemian Region were studied. For data collection, the technique of direct, disinterested and obvious observation, the study of professional literature, legislation, trial protocols and the findings obtained from interviews with managers were used. The data were processed by content analysis. In the theoretical part, I focused on individual risk factors in the work environment of quarries and on health risk assessment. In the practical part, I compared the measurement results with the health limits set out in Government Regulation No. 361/2007 Coll. laying down the conditions of health protection in the workplace, as amended, and in Government Regulation No. 272/2011 Coll. that lays down hygienic limits of noise and vibration. Individual professions were categorized according to Decree No. 432/2003 Coll., as amended. The factors assessed in the work environment of quarries were quarry dust, total and hand-transmitted vibrations, noise and physical strain. The lowest rated factors include dust and total vibrations. Hygienic limits were not always observed, and thus the employer is obliged to take measures to protect the health of employees. The most important step in the development of quarries is the purchase of new, modern machines and the overall modernization of production, resulting in reduction of the workers´ exposure to risk factors.

The Risks of Working as a Nurse
GENGELOVÁ, Gabriela
The work of nurses in health care is often physically and psychologically demanding. Some inpatient departments have specific labor conditions and from them come risks. Nurses are continuously exposed to the risk of injury, infection, but also stress caused by their work. These labor-related risks can cause disorders on health or cause labor-related diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce workload, stress, psycho-social risks and pay special attention to preventive measures and keep sanitary-epidemiological behavior. This Bachelor thesis called ?Risks of Nurse´s Labor? is divided into two parts. The theoretical part strives to summarize the risks of a nurse?s work focusing on preventive measures related to particular risks. Results of this survey are processed in the research part of this thesis. During the survey I used a quantitative method of data collection ? by using a questionnaire. The research file was created by nurses working in Internal and Neurological departments and a Residential facility for chronically ill patients in the Hospital České Budějovice, a.s. and in the University Hospital in Plzeň. In the Bachelor´s thesis 2 objectives and 3 related hypotheses have been set. The objectives were fulfilled and hypotheses were either verified or rejected. The author was trying to find out what nurses regard as the highest risks in clinically focused workplaces and what preventive measures are applied with respect to perceived risks. From the results come out that nurses regard being stung by an infected needle as the highest risk in the workplace. Preventive measures are applied in a limited scope.

Nurse´s headache influence on their work ability
BROŽOVSKÁ, Iveta
We have selected this topic of the bachelor's thesis because the number of people suffering from headaches has been increasing in the population. Headaches affect quality of life of patients to a considerable degree. This research has revealed that more than a half of nurses suffer from headaches, which is alarming. The nursing profession is very demanding in physical and psychical terms so we were interested how headaches affect labour performance of nurses, whether their impact is negative or whether headaches have no effect on the performance of nurses. The first objective of the thesis was to ascertain what risk factors evoke headaches of nurses. The second objective was to ascertain whether headaches of nurses affect their labour performance. Both objectives have been fulfilled. We have used a quantitative research and distributed the total number of 150 questionnaires. 110 duly completed questionnaires were used for the data analysis. The research set was selected at random and consisted of nurses working in out-patient wards and in multi-shift operation, namely in hospitals and health centres Oblastní nemocnice Příbram, a.s., Středisko zdraví spol. s r.o. in Dobříš and Fakultní nemocnice Motol (Motol University Hospital). Hypothesis H1 stating that occurrence of headaches with nurses is influenced by the multi-shift character of the operation has not been confirmed while hypothesis H2 stating that occurrence of headaches with nurses is influenced by stress at work has been confirmed. Hypothesis H3 stating that headaches have a negative impact on labour performance of nurses has also been confirmed. This thesis will refer to the fact that the number of people suffering from headaches has been growing. It will also focus on the characteristics of the nursing profession and emphasize the main strains laid on nurses in this occupation. It will draw attention to faults in nursing practice that occur due to headaches of nurses. The resulting findings are alarming since mistakes made by nurses in their nursing performance or incorrect records in health documentations of patients may result in a serious risk to the health of patients.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF FOOD SUPPLEMENTS USED ON THE ACTIVITY OF KINETIC ENDURANCE CHARAKTER APPLIED AS A CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES PREVENTION
DIČE, Michal
The aim of this thesis is to compare food supplements used on the activity of endurance character and their influence on the cardiovascular system. The teoretical part is pursued to the basic food components and their metabolism and to kinetic activities splitting. The practical part gives information about splitting of sports supplements used on the activity of endurance character, their usage and effects. It deals with the question of human organism behaviour during the strain of endurance character and how the food supplements help to regenerate the human body. Further, it presents a food supplements overview according to their focus and their effect on the human organism during the strain of endurance character. Finally, the summary states which of the specific food supplements are the most optimal for the strain of endurance character.

BENEŠ, Václav
This bachelor thesis on the topic of The Physiological Aspect of Walking and Nordic Walking as an adequate physical activity focuses on chosen physiological changes of an organism during a five-month training cycle. In the theoretical part I describe the physiological changes of organism during a regularly repeated strain, and also the technique of walking, Nordic walking and health benefits of these activities are defined here. The research part of the thesis describes the measurement methods the results of the measurements and the total evaluation of the recorded results.
