The relationship of body composition and aerobic fitness in the elderly
Boubelíková, Barbora ; Prajerová, Květa (advisor) ; Vařeková, Jitka (referee)
Title: The relationship of body composition and aerobic fitness in the elderly Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the aerobic fitness of students at University of Third Age at the UK FTVS and to investigate whether there exists an association between body composition and aerobic fitness. Methods: The research involved 54 seniors (age 64 ± 2.71 years, body height 163.23 ± 6.05 cm) who studied at University of the 3rd Age at the UK FTVS at the time of research. The original sample of probands was 91, but people aged over 70 years and people taking heart-rate medications had to be excluded. Measurments of body composition was performed using BIA 2000M multifrequency bioimpedance analysis. The investigated parameters were total body water (TBW), intracellular water (ICW), extracellular water (ECW) in litres, fat free mass (FFM) in kg, percentage of body fat (% BF) and extracellular and body cell mass ratio (ECM/BCM). Measurement of aerobic fitness was performed by a 2 km test pass, evaluated by Stejskal at the athletic stadium UK FTVS. Time and heart rate were scanned by sporttester (Polar S 610i). The data was processed using the IBM SPSS statistics 22. Results: The results showed that our group belongs to "avarage seniors" in terms of aerobic fitness. A significant relationship...

The effect of alcohol ingestion on body composition after aerobic maximal test on the treadmill ergometer
Boubelíková, Barbora ; Strejcová, Barbora (advisor) ; Štohanzl, Michal (referee)
Title: The effect of alcohol ingestion on body composition after aerobic maximal test on the treadmill ergometer Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of alcohol on selected parameters of body composition after aerobic maximal test on the treadmill ergometer. Methods: Seven women engaged in physical activity at least three times a week (age 23 ± 0,9 let, height 169,9 ± 8,2 cm) volunteered to be part of the study. Aerobic maxim test was done on the treadmil ergometer and body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis device BIA 2000M. Followed parameters are absoulut amount of total body water (TBW) and intracellular water (ICW) in liters, percentage of body fat (% BF), absolut amount of fat - free mass (FFM) in kg and extracellular mass and body cell mass ratio (ECM/BCM). Data was processes in SPPS 20. Results: The results did not show a statistically significant effect of alcohol ingestion on followed parameters of body composition after aerobic maximal test. The high effect (effect - size) was found just for fat free mass. Key words: Alcohol, aerobic load, body composition
