Title: The Physical Preparation of Children at Athletic Preparatory Objectives: The aim of this bachelor thesis was to check the level of the kinetic literacy at schools or other hobby groups by children at the preparatory age. Also a set of exercises for testing the basic coordinative abilities was created. These exercises are suitable for children between the ages of 6 and 8. Methods: In this bachelor thesis the following methods were used: descriptive analysis, questionnaires, observation and data analysis. Results: With the help of the questionnaire one found out that the spectra of motional activities by children from the primary school level gradually extends hand in hand with their age. Another finding was the fact that more than the half of the interviewed children attends also another kinetic group than just the athletic one. Floorball had the major representation among them. Three exercises from the set were defined as unsuitable for children between the ages of 6 and 8. These were the exercises 7, 9 and 16. Exercises of this kind should be included into the training later. Key words: Athletic preparation, physical preparation, coordination abilities, training, children, athletics, coach

Common causes of lower leg pain an Athletes
Pešková, Lucie ; Doubková, Lucie (advisor) ; Truc, Michal (referee)
An exercise-induced leg pain resulting from chronic overloading is a common condition affecting physically active population. This bachelor thesis gives an overview of recent knowledge in differential diagnosis of a chronic lower leg pain. Theoretic aspects deal with three main conditions with the highest incidence, including stress fractures, medial tibial stress syndrome and chronic exertional compartment syndrome. Particular chapters describe the difference in the epidemiology, aetiology, clinical presentation and risk factors. The diagnostic methods and treatment options are mentioned in the next chapter. In addition to theoretic aspects a retrospective study is part of this thesis. The research study the incidence of the lower leg pain among athletes. In contrast to theoretic part we concern about nonspecific lower leg pain in this research. At the same time we research a presence of risk factors and their effect on pathogenesis of the lower leg pain.

Physiotherapy of pelvic floor and its effect on menstrual problems in women
ŠTĚPÁNOVÁ, Kristina
The topic of my bachelor's work deals with issue of physiotherapy of pelvic floor and it's influence on menstrual difficulties among women. The main goal of this work is to describe possibilities of physiotherapeutical methods of exercising for pelvic floor among women with dysmenorhea. Partial goal is to create an educational leaflet for needs of these women. In order to make the probands feel better a periodic exercising was implemented. It contained special exercises focused on the right activation of the muscles of the pelvic floor. The theoretical part of the bachelor's work is focused on the anatomical relations and the function of the area of pelvis and pelvic floor. Furthermore it defines dysfuncions of pelvic floor. After that comes the definition of menstural cycle and it's hormonal indicators and list of malfunctions of menstrual cycle. In the last chapter of the theoretical part is covered a part which presents selected physiotherapeutical paradigms and supportive medical methods used for dysmenorhea. For preparation of the practical part was used the method of qualitative research.Three probands suffering from dysmenorhea and various symptoms of premenstruall syndorme were studied. The research group was between 24 - 30 years of age. The anamnesis of probands were made, the initial kineziological analyses were made and after the end of the therapy the final kineziological analyses were made. The founded data and the results of research have been worked into. For each of the probands was made an individual plan of rehabilitation by their diagnostics. Therapy took time from 20 weeks sice the first of January 2015 till May 2015. At the beginning the therapy was made once a week and in next day it was once in 14 days in duration of 45 minutes per exercise. 15 therapies should be made with each of probands. The research can be found helpful for probands, because the positive effects of the therapy were seen at each of them. The problems of dysmenorhea have became better, also the pain of locomotive system have been reduced, the patients condition have improved and the psychological problems have been reduced. Last but not least almost all the probands have stopped using analgesics in the context of dysmenorhea. This bachelor's work can be used for physiotherapeutical purposes not only for women suffering from dysmenorhea but even for women suffering from premenstrual syndrome. It can also be useful for students of physiotherapy and physiotherapists in clinical practice for comprehensive orientation in specified area and it also can be used as an information booklet for specialists and laymen.

Access physiotherapy in disorders of postural stability in patients with multiple sclerosis
KRÁLOVÁ, Lucie
The bachelor thesis summarizes the current knowledge of multiple sclerosis. The object of my thesis was to choose the appropriate physiotherapy procedures to influence postural stability in patients with multiple sclerosis. In the theoretical part of it I have dealt with the current situation of the problem, then with ethiopathogenesis, symptoms, pharmacological and rehabilitative treatment. Then I dealt with the functions of the deep stabilization system and methods which can be used to work with. These methods were chosen with regard to the diagnosis MS. The research section includes casuistry of three patients. The kinesiology examination is supplemented by testing in posturograph which patients undertaken at the beginning of the three-month therapy and after its completion. This section contains actual status of the patients, their medical history, designs short-term rehabilitation plan, a description of rehabilitation and long-term rehabilitation plan and overall assessment of therapy and research. The whole research took place over a period of three months. Two patients attending for treatment in a rehabilitation clinic in J.Hradci, therapy third patient was at home through briefing. After three months of therapy, I evaluated the effectiveness of exercise based on the input and output tests, balance tests and examinations on posturograph. I also took into account the patients' subjective feelings. Physiotherapy had an impact primarily on the breathing stereotype and better postural stability when standing. Furthermore, the psychological state of patients also improved. Physiotherapy may interfere with some clinical symptoms of MS. It helps to improve the quality of life, improve self-sufficiency and engage individuals in active life. However, we have to expect short-term effect and that it is necessary to rehabilitate all the time. Also, we must continue to adapt to the development of the disease and the current condition of the patient.

Injury prevention related to falls of the residents of Home for the elderly.
SOUKUPOVÁ, Hana
The diploma thesis is structured into a theoretical part and an empirical part. The theoretical part consists of four chapters. The empirical part of the diploma thesis is based on qualitative research. The data were collected via semi-structured interviews with the senior citizens and the nurses. The replies were processed into clearly arranged charts and categories with brief descriptions. Another research method applied was observation. The interviews were followed by a detailed analysis of the documentation, which involved the analysis of the medical records of the senior citizens with a focus on medical diagnosis, chronic medication, and processing of the fall risk and its evaluation. The diploma thesis pursued three objectives by means of four related research questions. The first objective was to ascertain the extent of the clients' awareness of fall risks. The second objective was to assess the discomfort associated with usage of the special device preventing hip joint injuries resulting from falls during common everyday activities of the senior citizens. Finally, the third objective was to obtain the opinions of the healthcare staff on working with clients wearing special devices preventing the hip joint injuries. Four research questions were formulated in connection with these three objectives. Research question No. 1: What is the quality of information provided by the healthcare staff as part of the preventive intervention regarding the falls? Research question No. 2: How willing are the clients to accept changes contributing to fall prevention? Research question No. 3: To what extent is the comfort of the client affected by using special devices preventing fall-related hip joint injuries? Research question No. 4: To what extent is the work of the healthcare staff affected if their clients use devices preventing fall-related hip joint injuries? The results of the qualitative research suggest that the extent of information provided by the healthcare staff as part of the preventive intervention regarding the falls is insufficient in terms of awareness of the risky places. In particular, the research revealed that the nurses fail to sufficiently monitor the effects of chronic medication which may contribute to psycho-motor inhibition of the senior clients. As far as mobility aids are concerned, the nurses offer these devices sufficiently. The nurses demonstrated very good knowledge of all the mobility aids which may facilitate self-reliance of the senior clients. Another problematic issue is the safety of the rooms, particularly in terms of various protrusions and unevenness in the bathrooms. The results of the research do not show any unwillingness of the clients to accept changes contributing to fall prevention. Nevertheless, two of the respondents failed to engage in the activities and maintain physical fitness by regular exercise in the Retirement House. Furthermore, the results do not show any limitation of the clients' comfort resulting from using special devices preventing fall-related hip joint injuries. Finally, according to the research the healthcare staff does not feel restricted in any way when working with senior clients using such device. The results of the research will be used for repeated meetings with the senior clients and particularly with the nurses. The management of the Retirement House, together with the healthcare staff, are working on a new educational material which would indicate risky places with increased probability of falls. These results could be beneficial also for other facilities where healthcare staff takes care of senior citizens. Last but not least, the results are of interest also to the health insurance companies which could provide this special device with at least partial subsidy as part of the primary prevention programme.
