The effect of therapeutic intervention on the functionality of ankle joint in long jumpers
ZÁHOROVÁ, Adéla
This bachelor's thesis deals with the effect of therapeutic intervention on the functionality of the ankle joint in long jumpers. The work consists of two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part first describes the anatomy of the ankle joint and the description of the myofascial structures of the ankle joint. Furthermore, the biomechanics of ankle joint movement are summarized here, and then the long jump itself and the training process of jumpers are described. At the end of the theoretical part, the concept of Movement Assessment Technologies (M.A.T), which was used for functional testing, is described. The practical part consists of qualitative type research. The research group consisted of 3 probands aged 18-22, who already specialize exclusively in the long jump. Therapies took place individually for two months at regular intervals. All probands completed their regular training schedule without restriction during the study. I used the technique of interview, aspect, palpation and testing to obtain data. The objectives of the work were twofold. The first goal was to propose a physiotherapeutic procedure suitable for improving the functionality of the ankle joint in long jumpers. The second goal was the proposal to implement the suggested physiotherapy of the ankle joint into the athlete's training process. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the goals of the bachelor's thesis were met. I proved that the proposed therapy is suitable for improving the function of the ankle joint and it is realistic to add it to the training process of an athlete.

The influence of the Family Constellation Method on the family system
Heřmánková, Alena ; Drahoňovský, Jan (advisor) ; Cooke, Dana (referee)
Family constellations are a psychosocial method that focuses on uncovering and resolving hidden dynamics and behavior patterns in family systems, enabling clients to gain new perspectives on their problems and create new paths to solutions. This method is used to address various issues, such as family conflicts, relationship problems, depression, anxiety disorders, and others. However, despite its potential benefits, family constellations do not receive enough attention from the general public, which was one of the factors that led me to choose this topic. This bachelor's thesis examines the impact of the family constellations method on the functioning of the family system, with a main focus on the statements of active participants in this method. A qualitative research investigation was conducted in the form of a semi-structured interview, aiming to determine the subjective perceived impacts of the family constellations method on the functioning of the family system. Specifically, the study aimed to explore what this method brings to the participants in relation to their family system. The method of comparison and contrast was used for the analysis of statements. The research findings demonstrated that the family constellations method has a positive impact on the functioning of the family system....

Ludlová, Monika ; Šteffl, Michal (advisor) ; Psohlavec, Lukáš (referee)
Title: The Effect of Teambuilding Outdoor Games on Salivary Cortisol Levels Background: The present time is characterized by its great pressure on the psyche of the individual creating a stressful environment along with its negative effects. Stress has become a very important scientific topic worldwide. Physical activities in nature can be an effective way to reduce stress. Objectives: The aim of this master's thesis was to investigate the effect of team building outdoor games on salivary cortisol levels. Methods: The thesis was conducted as an experimental study with a crossover design. 10 participants completed three different experimental conditions - teambuilding outdoor games, indoor games, and passive rest. A saliva sample was collected before and immediately after the activities. The salivary cortisol levels were used as the main dependent variable. Comparative statistical methods and generalized linear regression models were used in the data analysis. Results: Salivary cortisol levels not significantly decreased after both types of games; however, increased significantly after the passive rest (p = 0.017). Generalized linear regression models revealed statistically significant effects of both team-building outdoor games as well as indoor games compared to passive rest. Conclusions:...

The Influence of the Korean War on the U.S. Foreign Policy toward the Indochina and Vietnam Wars
Špes, Jakub ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Ludvík, Jan (referee)
This thesis examines the impact of the Korean War on U.S. foreign policy toward the wars in Indochina and Vietnam during the Cold War. The Korean War, which took place from 1950 to 1953, had profound and indelible consequences for U.S. foreign policy, particularly toward Southeast Asia, and the experience and erudition gained in the Korean War influenced the United States' approach to the wars in Indochina and Vietnam from 1954 to 1975. For this thesis, I have drawn on scholarly literature and analysis of official U.S. State Department documents published in a compilation entitled Foreign Relations of the United States. The thesis is divided into three main parts: in the first I describe terms associated with overall American foreign policy during the second half of the twentieth century, in the second I briefly summarize the Korean War, and in the third I discuss Indochina, Vietnam, and lessons from Korea. The thesis concludes with the verdict that the Korean War had a profound impact on U.S. foreign policy toward the wars in Indochina and Vietnam.

Methods: 22 probands who are members of the volunteer fire department in Ústí Region were selected on the basis of volunteering. They were randomly divided into experimental group (n=11) and control group (n=11). Both groups measured the pretest in the 100 m hurdles. Then experimental group completed an 8-week training intervention containing athletic training elements together with elements of the technique of the 100 m hurdles. The control group trained only the technique of the discipline without the predetermined training intervention, but the same frequency as the experimental group. After the training intervention was completed, the posttest in the 100 m hurdles race was measured for both groups. The measured results were statistically processed in the IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 program using the two-way ANOVA test, the Student's t-test and the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: A statistically significant improvement was found between the pretest and posttest measurements...

Make Partizánska Ľupča great again!
Likavčanová, Lucia ; ArtD, Tomáš Boroš, (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
Proposal of an urban-architectural study for Partizánska Ľupča presents an idea of converting the village center and the Pergler Mill. The proposal responds to the weakening of connections between the public space and its users and aims to restore the interrupted continuity while respecting the unique historical context of the locality. The first part of the proposal deals with the story of the square, the transformation of its functional content over time, and the attempt to reintegrate it into the lives of the inhabitants through minor interventions and reorganization of spatial arrangement. It seeks to find an answer to the complex question of adapting the public space of Ľupča, which has undergone historical development from a pulsating market square of a significant medieval town to today’s form of an empty large paved area in the center of the village. The second part of the proposal is dedicated to the Pergler Mill located on the southwest edge of the square. The transformation of one of the most technically preserved mills in the territory of the Czech Republic and Slovakia aims to reintegrate it into the village’s structure. The last part of the proposal is dedicated to Ľupčianka, a stream that flows from the beginning to the end of the village. Once a significant part of the lives of the inhabitants, it is now an almost invisible element. The ambition of the interventions is not to restore its past use but to bring a new perspective on the potential of this forgotten part of public space. The interventions represent visions of how to complement these places and initiate new experiences and emotions.
