Title: Barriers and facilitators of sport activities in adults with congenital physical disabilities: A Systematic Review Background: Globally, there are over a billion individuals with disabilities in the world. Those individuals may have one or more physical attributes affected by their condition, restricting their access to sports, fitness activities, and physical tasks related to work or household activities. The lack of exercise poses a significant public health concern and may hinder undisputed benefits for physical and psychological of individual well-being. Objectives: The main objective of this thesis was to systematically review available research sources on sport and physical activity participation among adults with congenital disabilities and to identify the barriers and facilitators for such individuals to participate in physical activities and para sport. Methods: Four databases - Medline, PubMed, ERIC and Sportsdiscus were searched using terms: exercise; para sport, training, physical activity, continuous exercise, and the range of congenital disabilities. We employed a blend of MeSH terms specific to the database, free-form text, wildcard characters (employing '*' to truncate words), and Boolean operators ('AND', 'OR'). Only papers published from 2003 were included and the search...

Hoppeová, Andrea ; Kotlík, Kamil (advisor) ; Vařeková, Jitka (referee)
Title: Relationship of second grade pupils to sport Objectives: The main goal of this thesis is to describe a relationship of lower- secondary pupils to sport. Partial goal was to reveal whether students do sport regularly, who made them start sport and whether sport activities or education of parents have an influence on their relationship to sport. Furthermore, a student 's lifestyle is evaluated, namely how they spend their leisure time. This work is also focused on the impact of gender and place of residence on doing sport. Method: A relationship of lower-secondary pupils to sport was examined via questionnaire, which was created specially for this research. Results: The outcome is that 97 % of pupils consider sport very important from the point of view of health, overall majority thinks it is important from the point of view of economics. No impact of gender was shown. The good news is that 84 % of respondents consider sport as part of their lifestyle and 88 % of respondents do sport regularly or irregularly. The results show that with the increasing level of education of parents, the positive attitude towards sports in children also grows. Furthermore, it was found that the place of residence does not affect the way of spending leisure time. Keywords: Sport, free time, second grade pupil,...
