Liscová, Lucie ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Daďová, Klára (referee)
Title: Comparison of motor skills in children with a different type of autism spectrum disorders. Objectives: The aim is to determine whether individuals with autism spectrum disorders may have some common characteristics in motor skills and that when a different type of fault will be significant differences in the kinetic expression. The results obtained as compared to the healthy population as well as among clients. Methods: The research was conducted in three individuals with ASD. Test battery was prepared based on the current test systems. Self testing was conducted in mid-school year to clients with autism spectrum disorders, followed by a six-month intervention, and in July was again tested.

Kopalová, Magdaléna ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Šťastný, Petr (referee)
Title: The impact of a three-month training on motor functions in preschool hockey players Objectives: The goal of this diploma thesis is to summarize the knowledge about motor functions in preschool children. Also to find suitable test methods which should help to evaluate the motor level of children this age who are attending the preparation course in the hockey club Sparta Praha and also evaluate the influence of a three month hockey training on postural maturity and development of motor skills on the regular surface and on the ice. Methods: The pre-experiment was conducted in hockey preparation course HC Sparta Praha in preschool children during their training. It was carried out using 5 tests evaluating postural maturity, which were evaluated by two physiotherapists and 4 tests evaluating the level of motor skills on the regular surface and on the ice, which was measured on time. Tests were performed twice, with a three-month interval. Results: After three months of training, there was no substantial improvement in postural maturity assessment tests, although the consensus of the two physiotherapists in the assessment of the postural tests maturity was relatively high, for both measurements. The top rated test was tandem walk over the line. In this test, there was also the most improvement...

Positioning effect on child development in infancy.
Mádlová, Markéta ; Sedlak, Petr (advisor) ; Paulová, Markéta (referee)
This thesis is focused on positioning the child in the early stages of his life. Greater importance is attached to positioning since 1992 when the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published recommendations for a healthy baby sleep position. In connection with the recommended supine sleep position has been a decrease in the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), which was the primary reason for the worldwide campaign (Back to Sleep Campaign). Prone or supine position may affect early motor development or be a cause of deformities of the skull. Higher exposure supine position may cause variations in the physiological development of the skull and results in a positional plagiocephaly (PP) or dental arch deformities.

The Level of Postural Maturation of Children in Athletic-preparatory Schools
Janečková, Terezie ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Červinka, Pavel (referee)
Title: The Level of Postural Maturation of Children in Athletic-preparatory Schools Author: Terezie Janečková Objective: There are more and more athletic-preparatory schools in athletic units and clubs nowadays. Athletic-preparatory school means a group of five or six-year-old children with one or two training lessons per week. Czech athletic association wants to spread an interest in athletics among parents and their children, to find athletic talents as soon as possible and develop them by this way. The recruitment of children at this age already exists in many sports, but it is new in athletics in the Czech Republic. But that does not go for everyone that this sport training at preschool age is the appropriate and healthy way for a child motor development. I would like to evaluate the influence of athletic-preparatory schools on the child motor development. Due to the fact that there are no tests to apply for this purpose in literaure, we have to compose our own set of tests, which are used in physiotherapy. The theoretic part of the work is a bibliographic search of accessible information about postural maturation and motor development. The experimental part of the work is an evaluation of the level of postural maturation of children in athletic-preparatory schools before their start of regular...

Determining of the basic skills of preschool children in the village with less than 2,000 inhabitants
KOCOUREK, Petr
This Bachelor?s thesis is aimed at the assessment of the level of the basic motor abilities and skills of preschool children in a municipality with less than 2,000 inhabitants. The research took place in a kindergarten in the municipality of Radomyšl in June 2011. Forty-eight children, i.e. twenty-nine girls and nineteen boys, participated in the measurement. They were further divided by their age into groups of children younger than four years, four-year-old, five-year-old and older than six years. Data on the children?s body height and weight were collected. Then the BMI values were calculated. For motor testing, the following selected tests were used: 20 metres run, throwing a ball from a place with right and left hands and standing long jump. The found out results were evaluated and then compared with the project ?Growth and motor performance of preschool children? of 2010, and then with a research of 1977 called ?Physical and movement development of children from four to six years in Bohemia, Moravia and in the Middle Slovakian Region?.

Importance of coordinated P.E. activities during teaching nursery school children to be healthy.
ULBRICHOVÁ, Dagmar
The present work monitors controlled physical activity for children of preschool age both in terms of pre-school and in terms of family environment. The aim is to monitor the current level of physical activity and highlight the fundamental relationship of health education and healthy development of preschool children. Total attendance was 28 children of preschool age. Because of the feedback I have also addressed the 200 participants (nursery school teachers, parents). Based on my findings showed that teachers in nursery schools provide working children with high-quality physical activities. In terms of family background should be paid attention to physical activities and continue to highlight the problems in this area.

Check methodists for evaluation basic motory skill on 1.step primary school according to Haliwick method.\\
MARYŠKOVÁ, Barbora
My diploma work is aimed at verifying the methodology for assessing basic motor skills (running, long jump, overarm throwing and catching) at elementary schools according to Ms K. M. Haywood. It is a set of laboratory activities which help us assess a pupil's level of his or her motor skills. My task was either to confirm or to contradict the before mentioned methodology leading towards the level evaluation. My research took place in the third, fourth, and fifth class forms at the 3rd Elementary School in Jindřichův Hradec. The total number of participating pupils was 60. the result of my laboratory activities can serve some teachers (with regard to their personal knowledge) as a guideline for planning a sort of meaningful and appropriate teaching lessons aimed at improving pupils' skills.\\
