Movement activity of vegetarian men
KUDRNOVÁ, Marie
The bachelor's thesis entitled Physical activity of vegetarian men consists of two parts. In the first, theoretical part, I discuss men, vegetarianism and physical activity. I focus on the concept of vegetarianism as such, the division of vegetarians, the motivation to become a vegetarian, the history of vegetarianism. In the next chapter I deal with a man, his personality, gender issue and in the third chapter I deal with physical activity. The aim of this work was to determine the level of physical activity in a specific group of men who can be described as vegetarians. Data on physical activity were obtained by questionnaires of physical activity IPAQ-long and weekly monitoring with a pedometer repeated two times. The results, which were measured and processed are compared with the results of measurements in an equally large group of men, but they eat in a conventional way. 34 men eating vegetarian and 34 men eating normally were contacted. Research has shown that vegetarian men have a lower BMI than non-vegetarian men, but no significantly higher levels of physical activity have been demonstrated.

Animals as a Tool Used by Mankind
Jonová, Kateřina ; Halama, Jindřich (advisor) ; Keřkovský, Pavel (referee)
I've chosen Animals as a tool used by mankind as a topic for my thesis. The reason to choose this topic is my closeness to it because of my education in fields of ecology and ethics. I presume, that it would be interesting to connect gained knowledge from ecology and my current study of bioethics. The aim of my thesis is to find out, discover, explain and prove, whether and to what measure is it justified to use animals in favor of a human. I would like to try to describe most important aspects of this topic in my thesis. I'd try to answer to this aimed goal through collected information from worldwide and local authors. My thesis will be structured in three main parts. First part will be aimed on animal rights, in a second part, there will be desribed in which ways we use animals and in a third part there are stated ethical and theological aspects of this problem.

Transfer of Vegetarian Value Model from Parents onto Their Childern
Vastlová, Markéta ; Cirklová, Jitka (advisor) ; Janas, Martin (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is, as the itself name indicates, concerned with the concept of education of children by their parents - vegetarians, possibly vegans. What is examined is whether they are trying to transfer their own model of values - vegetarianism or veganism onto the child, but also what aspects will influence their future value orientation the most during the course of their primary socialisation. The influence of the informing parent's partner as well as that of grandparents on both sides is considered, further on the influence of the educational institution the child attends is factored in. It is there where the child is confronted with different norms and values than those that the child can be familiar with from the home and parents are then have to resolve the arisen situation. The thesis itself is divided into three main sections which are the following: Theoretical Introduction, Methodology and Research.The first section is dedicated to the theoretical background enabling the confimation of data necessary for the analysis itself. Specifically it outlines the value basis of vegetarianism, explains the difference between vegetarianism and its more radical form veganism. It delineates the influence of family and educational institutions on the latter value orientation of the child....

Meat or Salad? Effect of Dynamic Norms on Preference for Meatless Meals
Weikertová, Štěpánka ; Urban, Jan (advisor) ; Soukup, Petr (referee)
The food choices we make every day have a great impact on our environment. Particularly meat consumption significantly contributes to global climate change. Although the current situation calls for a change towards more sustainable diet, meat consumption is still rising. Previous research show that dynamic social norms, i.e. information about ongoing collective behavioral change, can promote pro- environmental behavior, even in the context of meat consumption. Through two pre- registered online experimental studies conducted on a sample of university students (Study 1, N = 227) and on a sample of adult Czech population (Study 2, N = 462), this thesis examines whether dynamic norm message regarding the changing trends in meat consumption can influence intentions to consume less meat. We did not find any direct or total effect of dynamic norms on the preference for meatless meals. Mediation analysis only revealed rather weak indirect effect of dynamic norms on the preference for meatless meals mediated by perceived dynamic norms. In Study 2, we further examined whether the effect of dynamic norm message is conditioned by strength of the dynamic norms (effect of stronger vs weaker dynamic norm) and whether the provision of dynamic norm information triggers self-defense mechanisms which rationalize...

Spirituality in veganism and vegetarianism.
Schejbalová, Eliška ; Spalová, Barbora (advisor) ; Tesárek, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of spirituality in the field of vegetarianism and veganism. The main goal of this thesis is to find out how and when is the spirituality formed in narratives of the respondents, who are vegetarians or vegans and how do they construct it. The results of this work are obtained using a qualitative research, mostly in form of semi-structured in-depth interviews with sensitivity to the ways that the narratives are constructed. These interviews took place mainly in online space due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This thesis connects several areas of theory, which later appear in the narratives of respondents. The main theoretical framework for this thesis is concept of mindful body by Nancy Scheper- Hughes and Margaret Lock, concept of purity by Mary Douglas, theory of Dark Green Religion by Bron Taylor and views of the boundaries between people and animals by Margo DeMello. This thesis and its conclusions can serve as a basis for subsequent research on the topic, since this thesis formed as a certain view of the field of spirituality in veganism and vegetarianism.

No Grain, No Gain: Vegan Athletes' Self-Perception of Corporeality
Rutová, Simona ; Grygar, Jakub (advisor) ; Orcígr, Václav (referee)
This thesis deals with the corporeality of vegan athletes. It aims to clarify how the members of a specific vegan athlete community perceive their corporeality. It also describes the corporeality shaping process and how the process is affected by the community and by the shared body practices - mainly vegan diet and sports activities. The main concepts concerning this issue are habitus, embodiment, and the mindful body. This thesis's key ideas derive from Merleau-Ponty's views on corporeality, Csordas' embodiment, and Scheper-Hughes's and Lock's mindful body, which provided an analytical framework for this research. The research highlighted the importance of a strong community, which vegan athletes build. They can then act on the bodies of the community members and thus make bodies presenting veganism as sufficient. It is a sport that plays a crucial role in this, as it keeps bodies healthy and makes them strong. Sport thus functions as a defense for their practices, which are in the community's eyes the right way of living and respond to the current environmental crisis and immoral abuse of animals. It is the effort to defend and present veganism as sufficient that influences the practices shared in the researched community. These practices subsequently affect the formation and perception of the...

Relationship of students of the selected secondary schools to the alternative ways of eating
Fialová Krejzová, Lenka ; Váchová, Alena (advisor) ; Kovaříková, Miroslava (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the relationships and opinions of students of selected secondary schools, which are connected with alternative ways of eating. The theoretical part contains basic information about rational nutrition, individual nutrients, there is a comparison of the food pyramid and a healthy plate. Last but not least, alternative diets are also clarified and then information on five specific types of alternative diets is given. In the individual subchapters, vegetarianism, veganism, raw food, paleo diet and a gluten-free diet are mentioned. The aim of the practical part is to find out the opinion of students of selected secondary schools on alternative ways of eating. These are my chosen secondary schools in the Rakovnicko region. A questionnaire survey is used as a research tool. Based on the data obtained, the questionnaire was evaluated and the results were converted into tables and graphs, which are always commented. 187 respondents answered the questionnaire. It was found that 19 of all respondents have nutrition-related health restrictions. The surprising result is that students did not learn about alternative meals primarily at school, but from their own resources (friends, family, etc.). The results of the questionnaire survey point to the fact that secondary school students...
