Analysis of the impact of a 10-day training camp at a higher altitude on performance of adolescent runners
NOVÁK, Daniel
Goal of this Bachelor thesis is to check, if there will be any changes of functional and biochemical parameters of the organism for medium and long length track adolescent runners during a 10-day training camp in high altitude around 1850 meters. Runners were subjected to functional laboratory examination both before and after the camp. All requisites were identical for both the control group and the runners who completed this camp. We were examining measured parameters of VO2max, resting heart rate, breath capacity, expiratory minute ventilation, pulse oxygen, respiratory rate, respiratory exchange ratio, heart rate during peak oxygen consumption and maximum watt performance. Most significant watched parameter was VO2max, where we saw an increase of 15,52 % from original 55,40 +- 7,73 ml-min-1-kg-1 to 64,00 +- 9,87 ml-min-1-kg-1 . Another one was resting heart rate, there was a decrease of 5,86 % for the runners after coming back to lowland compared to rates that were measured before the camp. Erythrocytes values increased by 2,38 %, haemoglobin by 2,69 % and haematocrit by 2,27 %. All these results show factual and statistical importance, the only parameter that didn't show any statistical importance was haematocrit. Result of our research confirmed, that 10-day training camp has a major impact on functional and biochemical parameters of the organism.

Heart rate changes during walking and running
Smolinský, Dominik ; Kozumplík, Jiří (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with monitoring dynamic changes in heart rate during walking and running. The heart rate is calculated from the QRS complexes of the ECG signal. The aim of this thesis is to summarize the theoretical knowledge and then make measurements of individuals from 2 groups, fit athletes and less fit athletes. Thus, the theoretical part is discussed first, where all the information regarding the cardiovascular system, heart rate and HRV are described. The second part of the thesis is practical and deals with specific measurements, their processing and statistic analysis. It also describes the basic equipment and measurement protocol.

Influence of altitude on physiological parameters in snowboardcross athletes
Samková, Eva ; Gryc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šteffl, Michal (referee)
Title: Influence of Altitude on Physiological Parameters in Snowboardcross Athletes Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of altitude and working load on selected physiological parameters (blood lactate concentration, mitochondrial respiration, muscle blood flow and heart rate) in elite snowboardcross riders. Methods: For data collection we used Moxy monitor, Garmin chest belt and EKF Lactate Scout+. The physiological parameters were assessed at two different altitudes and always before and after the sports exercise. The obtained data were then compared and their differences assessed using the statistical method paired t-test, basic statistical and mathematical methods such as mean and standard deviation and percentages were used to express the difference. Results: We found that altitude does not affect mitochondrial respiration or blood flow in lower limb muscles in snowboardcrossers. Furthermore, we found that altitude has an effect on blood lactate concentration and confirmed the so-called lactate paradox. Heart rate was slightly higher after exercise at higher altitude than at lower altitude. Keywords: Oxygen saturation, heart rate, lactate concentration, testing, altitude

Pulse Check in Pharmacies IV
Kameníková, Andrea ; Malá, Kateřina (advisor) ; Mareček, Aleš (referee)
Pulse check in pharmacies IV Supervisor: PharmDr. Kateřina Malá, Ph.D. Consultant: PharmDr. Anna Rejmanová, Ph.D. Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Social and Clinical Pharmacy Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a serious arrhythmia that is also the most common heart rhythm disorder in our population and its incidence continues to rise. It can be a cause of high morbidity and mortality if it is not detected and treated in time. Unfortunately, almost one third of patients have an asymptomatic AF. Screening activities in pharmacies are a possible tool for early detection of hidden arrhythmias. Aim: The aim of the study was to measure heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP) and to monitor some of the symptoms of AF in patients involved in screening for heart rhythm disorders in a community pharmacy. Methods: HR measurements took place for eight weeks (08-09/2021 and 12/2021-01/2022) in two community pharmacies in Doksy and Cvikov. Patients ≥ 55 years of age were offered the option of AF screening. First, the HR was measured by palpation. Subsequently, it was verified with a Veroval ECG device. BP was then measured with an Omron M6 Comfort pressure device. All measurements took place in a consultation room. An evaluation of selected symptoms, risk factors and...

Pulse Check in Pharmacies III
Vasilišinová, Ivana ; Rejmanová, Anna (advisor) ; Mareček, Aleš (referee)
Department of Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Charles University Pulse check in pharmacies III Author: Ivana Vasilišinová Supervisor: PharmDr. Anna Rejmanová, Ph.D. Consultant: PharmDr. Kateřina Malá, Ph.D. Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common supraventricular arrhythmia. It is often asymptomatic. If left untreated, the patient is at significant risk of complications, especially of ischemic stroke (IS) and heart failure. These complications can be effectively prevented by early detection of AF and initiation of treatment. Population screening activities performed at pharmacies could serve as an useful tool for detection of latent arrhythmias. Objective: The aim of this diploma thesis was to analyze the heart rate, blood pressure, selected symptoms and risk factors for IS in real patient population and to raise their awareness in the field of heart rate monitoring. Methodology: The measurement took place in a public pharmacy at an outpatient clinic in Prague during the one-day campaign "Pharmacy Day" (18/6/2020) and subsequent data collection (12/2020-02/2021). During this time, education in atrial fibrillation, the heart rate and blood pressure measurement and also evaluation of the selected symptoms and risk factors for the possible future...

Heart rate and physical activities by 2-4 years old
Košťálová, Martina ; Dvořáková, Hana (advisor) ; Janošková, Hana (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with intensity of physical activities of two and three years old children, who attend kindergarten, The goal of the thesis was compare the intensity of physical aktivity during the rest and during controlled aktivity inside and outside, and during spontaneouns aktivity as well. The theoretical part of the thesis is focused on the specifics of the children's development in this age, which are important to consider. Simultaneously, it deals with physical activities, stamina and intensity of physical activities related to stamina. The practical part consist of charts, obtained from the measurements during the rest, controlled aktivity inside and outside and spontaneous aktivity of children tthat participated in the research. Also it contains charts, which compare average data from all measurements. The measurement was using Polar team 2 sensors. 12 childrens have participated in the measurement. The results show, that the intensity of physical aktivity is influenced by the choice of the aktivity, space and the way i tis controlled. The resulting data also conclude, that during the aktivity with longer time period, the highesr intensity curves were recorded for spontaneous activity.
