MAXOVÁ, Marie
We have been living in a time when there has been a wide and sufficient choice of quality food for nutrition of children and adults. Eating habits are formed in early childhood and are adjusted to the offer of foodstuffs. Eating habits are affected by a number of factors associated with nutrition of individuals or certain groups of people. Such factors also include school catering. Great attention has been recently paid to school catering, some negative opinions have appeared, mainly form the media. Some children complain that the food in school canteens does not taste them, the same types of meals keep repeating, there is a limited meals choice, the food is cold, the staff are unfriendly with them and do not wear proper clothing, and other comments. Therefore, some parents are not sure that this way of catering is appropriate for their children supposing it might be better to choose another form of catering for children during their school attendance. The fact is omitted that often only through healthy school catering the pupil gets nutritionally and energetically balanced diet and that the purpose of the entire system of school catering is for pupils to adopt adequate eating habits concerning healthy nutrition. School catering is controlled by a number of rules and regulations. The aim of this thesis is to determine whether school canteen staff are familiar with these rules and regulations and whether their knowledge is sufficient to carry out epidemiologically important activities. This bachelor thesis can be divided into two parts. The first part is focused on the theoretical point of view of the issue.

JURÁSKOVÁ, Petra
The thesis deals with nutrition and catering for younger school children. The actual research was carried out at Vltava Primary School and Primary School of Arts, Bezdrevská 3, České Budějovice and it can be divided into four parts. The first part was based on assessment of menus in the period from September 2009 to June 2010. The individual meals were analysed by means of modern nutrition software NutriDan and subsequently compared with the standard requirement of energy and selected macronutrients and micronutrients according to Nevoral et al., (2003). Pursuant to Ordinance No 107/2008 Coll. on school catering, the calculation is based on the average figure of 35 % of the total daily nutrition ratio for lunch. In the second part of the research, variety of menus was assessed on the basis of the frequency of repetition of the individual meals in a month in the school canteen. The third part of the research was focused on eating habits of pupils by means of a questionnaire. The fourth part was based on testing of the hypotheses. From the research carried out it was found out that energy intake was only met for the first grade pupils (6-year-olds), for the third grade (8-year-olds) and fifth grade (10-year-olds) the energy intake was low. The protein intake from lunch was high in all the monitored grades. The values exceeded 100 % RDI. Fat content was very high for the first grade pupils and on average it achieved 44.60 % RDI for boys and 47.27 % RDI for girls. For the third and fifth grade pupils it was sufficient. Carbohydrate content was sufficient for the first grade pupils, for the third grade pupils it was low during the whole school year when the average was 29.62 % RDI and for the fifth grade pupils the average was 27.67 % RDI. Fibre was supplied sufficiently for all the questioned pupils. From the monitored micronutrients, calcium was supplied deficiently. The content of selected vitamins was high, especially as regards the B group vitamins. Vitamin A was at the low level of supply, for the first grade pupils it reached 31 % RDI, for the third grade pupils 27.13 % RDI and for the fifth grade pupils 26.60 % RDI. The assessment of variety of menus showed insufficient inclusion of legume soups, fish, vegetarian vegetable dishes, fruit and vegetables. In some months pork meat was included excessively. The questionnaire-based research shows that with growing age, the consumption of breakfasts, morning snacks and afternoon snacks was decreased and also eating in school canteens decreased. Fluid intake is sufficient. The tested hypotheses proved these conclusions: the BMI index of girls is higher than the BMI index of boys,carbohydrate intake is high for children, fluid intake is sufficient.

The objective of the thesis was the analysis of the menus to find out saturation by macro-nutrients and selected micro-nutrients according to the nutritional requirements for school children. Research investigation might be divided into four parts. First part lied in the collection of the menus for the school year, their analysis in the programme NutriDan and following comparison to the norm of need of a school lunch, which is 35 % of a total daily nutritional dose. In the second part the variety of menus was assessed on the basis of repetition rate of particular meals in the school canteen in a month. The third part was the carrying out a questionnaire research of eating habits in pupils. In the fourth part the testing hypotheses were statistically assessed by means of chi-square distribution test. Out of gained results it was found out that required energy was fulfilled only in girls of ninth grade. The fulfilment was at the level 36.14{--}38.29 % of recommended daily dose (RDD). In other grades the energy was undervalued. Proteins were over the limit through the whole year. In the pupils of the fifth grade the fulfilment was in the interval 72.66{--}98.24 % of RDD (the average was 84.7 %), in the pupils of the seventh grade in the interval 55.28{--}74.22 % of RDD (the average was 64.2 %) and in the pupils of ninth grade in the interval 64.93{--}103.15 % of RDD (the average was 82 %). The fulfilment of carbohydrates was insufficient. In the fifth grade it was in the interval 18.81{--}25.35 % of RDD, in the seventh grade only in the interval 16.27{--}23.52 % of RDD and in ninth grade in the interval 21.54{--}29 % of RDD. The intake of lipids was excessive in the girls of the ninth grade (37.56{--}46.21 % of RDD). The fibre was in the norm of need. Out of the observed micronutrients calcium was deficient; the fulfilment was not over 21.62 % of RDD in the pupils of the fifth grade, in the pupils of the seventh grade 19.82 % of RDD. In the pupils of the ninth grade the fulfilment was in the interval 21.37{--}27.86 % of RDD. Through the whole year, vitamins B6 and B12 were over the limit. By the assessment of variety the low rates of leguminous soups, fish, fruit and vegetables were found out. Pork meat and sweet meals were excessive in several months. In boys increasing trend of Body Mass Index (BMI) depending on their age was evident; with higher age more respondents left out breakfast and had lunch more off the school canteen, which might be one of the causes of overweight or obesity in children. The consumption of fruit and vegetables was insufficient. Tested hypotheses proved the following: physical activity did not depend on respondents{\crq} sex; respondents{\crq} BMI depended on regular consumption of breakfast, time spent at a TV set and a computer did not depend on the age of respondents.

Analysis of school catering
Martinásková, Marie ; Mlejnková, Lena (advisor) ; Jarolímková, Liběna (referee)
School catering is one form of public catering. People who work in sphere of school catering have to observe very strict rules of sanitary code and to follow conventions of rational nutrition. Nutritious food is important for young people and their growth. The experience with the school dining should be very useful for the child. He should learn how to intercommon and how to follow healthy lifestyle. In the last five years, fewer children eat school lunches in Czech Republic. This fact is caused by decrease of children in elementary schools. We used a questionnaire to analyze school dining in the elementary school FZŠ Barrandov II. The results were satisfying. Three-quarter of children from this school uses services of school dining and the major part is content with it. The analysis will be delivered immediately to the caterer. Hopefully, it will be used for improvement of the school kitchen services.
