Physical activity in the treatment of cardiorespiratory disorders for children with cerebral palsy
Mheni, Syrine ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Stupková, Michaela (referee)
Children with cerebral palsy have lesser cardiorespiratory endurance (or aerobic capacity) and less physical activity than children who are developing normally. Cardiorespiratory problems are linked to a higher risk of noncommunicable diseases and premature aging. The goal of this research is to discover aspects that can be added in physiotherapy practice to ensure a long-term improvement in aerobic capacity in children with cerebral palsy while engaging in physical activity. Also investigated is the effect of aerobic capacity on functional abilities. A systematic review of the literature was undertaken utilizing the PubMed, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, and PEDro databases. The child's cardiorespiratory fitness appears to improve when they engage in high- intensity, goal-directed physical activity. The child's adherence appears to be aided by a motivating intervention and the removal of environmental barriers to the activity's practice. This allows for a long-term increase in aerobic capacity. It was impossible to draw a direct link between this improvement and functional capacity. Few studies have incorporated cerebral palsy and low global motor skills in recent years. Despite the importance of the findings, their heterogeneity prevents generalizable suggestions for all children with cerebral...

Comparison of reaction rate in children diagnosed with ADHD and common population of the same age
Kovařovic, Vojtěch ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Title: Differences in reaction rate in children with ADHD and the general population of the same age. Problem definition: ADHD is a neuropsychological disorder occurring in part of the pediatric population (5-8%). The scientific public mentions the existence of the so-called hyperfocus, ie the ability to significantly concentrate in children diagnosed with ADHD, especially in the case of these children being interested in the task. Methodologically correctly compiled and performed testing of the reaction rate of these children could confirm or refute this assumption. Aims: The aim of the work is to find out whether and possibly what effect the diagnosis of ADHD in children has on the reaction rate. Hypotheses: H1: The reaction rate in individuals with ADHD will be on average the same or higher than in individuals of the same age of the healthy population. H2: The difference between the individual experiments will be greater in children with ADHD than in individuals of the same age of the healthy population. H3: The individual with fastest reaction ability with ADHD will have the same or better result as the individual with the fastest reaction of the same aged healthy population. Methods: Testing for the purposes of this diploma thesis took place in the ROSA center. 12 probands in the tested group...
