Levitová, Andrea ; Daďová, Klára (advisor) ; Vařeková, Jitka (referee)
Title of thesis: The effect of group exercise on the perception of pain and spinal mobility of Individuals with ankylosing spondylitis Aims: To evaluate the impact of a targeted group exercise on pain perception, posture and mobility of the spine in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Method: The study selected 30 subjects with AS in I. - III. stage (mean age = 27.17 ± 4.57). This group was divided into experimental set (motion program participants (n = 15) and control group [n = 15]). The motion program was 30 minutes 2 times a week for 5 months. Pain was assessed using a visual analogue scale before each training unit and after it. Program before and after the following parameters were evaluated: static posture (the method by Klein and Thomas Mayer modified), the development of lumbar and thoracic spine stretch the chest and circuits. Results: The results showed that the group with targeted physical therapy in the form of group exercises significant reduction in pain intensity (condition improved by 32.2%), improved posture (p <0.001), increased mobility of the spine (the difference was statistically significant at Schober, Stiborova and Thomayer distance and reclining torso [p <0.05] and increased chest circumference [p <0.001]). For the control group occurred in most of the monitored...

Štěpánková, Hana ; Pokorný, Ladislav (advisor) ; Kuhnová, Věra (referee)
The title of my thesis is "Extraordinary sports within out-of school activities of younger pupilage children This diploma thesis introduces a historical evolution and rules of extraordinary sports like ricochet, squash, floorball, frisbee ultimate, double disc court, baseball, softball, tee ball, korfball, ringo. My thesis is focused on tee ball in detail. In terms of this sport a methodical model of training for pupils of the 4th and the 5th classes in ten training units is formed. Pupils were tested at checking of this methodical model in practise. Methodical model of training contains elaboration of a warm-up with different apparatus and body-builders and different motion plays. Since extraordinary sports in Prague 9 are concerned, two questionnaires have been drawn up - one for physical education teachers of the first grade or for supervisors of out-of school activities focused on extraordinary sports for younger pupilage children, and the second questionnaire for children of the 4th and the 5th classes of the basic school. Testing pupils and regarding results of the questionnaires I can say floorball and ringo are extraordinary sports being played most.

Influencing of stress urinary incontinence of women by different physioterapy methods
ZERZÁNKOVÁ, Lucie
The topic of my bachelor's thesis is affecting the women stress incontinence using different physiotherapeutic methods. The thesis consists of a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part covers the problematic of physiology and anatomy of the urinary system and pelvic floor. It also explains the theory of incontinence, diagnosis and treatment of the stress incontinence. Stress incontinence is a state in which one cannot intentionally regulate the urine drain using increased intrapelvic pressure. It is one of the most common women diseases. It is a multifactorial problem, because it causes not only physical, but also mental, social and even economic problems. Stress incontinence is a symptom which can have several causes. Under normal circumstances, the urethra reacts on increase of the intrapelvic pressure by increasing its own pressure and thus it is closed. Therefore it cannot leak the urine. If, however, the urethra is not in its physiologic place, which can be caused by a pelvic floor muscle malfunction, the urine is being leaked uncontrollably. The pelvic floor muscles are crucial part of the core stabilization system. They are very important stabilizers of the whole torso and together with diaphragm they ensure the proper breathing. The stress incontinence can be treated also using conservative and surgical methods. In most cases, the incontinence is treated using only passive methods, by using medicines and applying incontinence tools. In the worst cases, they are treated by a surgery. Women, however, have a possibility to treat the incontinence by physiotherapy. Using this treatment, the symptoms of incontinence can be eliminated or at least reduced to a manageable level. The incontinence can be prevented by doing particular exercises. The goal of the physiotherapy is to teach the women how the urinal system and mainly the pelvic floor work. To help them with the training of the activation and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles and how to include them during the breathing together with the diaphragm. It is important to focus on the woman mentality. We are trying to support the proper self confidence of the women. The women have to be treated comprehensively and individually. The practical part of the thesis was done using qualitative research. Two patients suffering from stress incontinence were treated during the research. Based on the entrance kinesiologic analysis, an individual exercise plan was created for each of the patients. In the end, the output kinesiologic analysis was done. Mainly, the postural therapy, the flat foot therapy, techniques by Capova, therapy by Ludmila Mojzisova, etc. were used. It is clear from the results that the used therapy was successful and it was rated very well by the patients. According to the patients, the exercises had influence not only on their incontinence problems, but it also helped to improve their overall condition, both physical and mental.

Examination of respiratory disorders stereotypes and their effects on the musculoskeletal system PF JU students aged 19 to 25 years
MAREŠ, Martin
The main task of this thesis was an examination of breathing stereotypes on selected students of Pedagogical faculty aged from 19 to 25. The other objective was to develop an intervention programme according to which the selected students participated in six weeks lasting workouts that were focused on breath training with consecutive heightening of their physical efficiency. A method of content analysis was used for analysing literature and a method of content synthesis was used for application of gathered information and for creating the intervention programme. For the examination of breathing stereotypes a muscle dynamometer was used which is able to record a movement dynamics and simultaneously to record a breathing activity dynamics. The vital capacity was measured through a forced expiratory vital capacity (FVC) when also a value of one second exhale was recorded (FEV1). This test was performed in standing upright position on the machine Spirometr Otthon, evaluation was processed in the Thorsoft programme. The study was participated by six students who at first passed out an entrance examination where the main values were defined, then the intervention programme and after the end of it the participants underwent a checking (output) examination. During processing of the thesis it was confirmed that the developed intervention programme, which is based on aerobic exercises and completed with resistance training, has a factual and statistical significant effect on strengthening the respiratory muscles which are activated by the diaphragmatic breathing within resting breathing and deepened breathing. For the determination of the substantive significance the Cohen's d was used, then the paired Student´s t test for dependent samples.
