The short-time effect of smartphone usage on active selective visual atenttion
Nehasil, Lukáš ; Veselý, Viktor (advisor) ; Kučerová, Klára (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the short-term effect of a smartphone usage on selective visual attention. The aim of this work was to examine whether there is a change in active selective visual attention after a single exposure to smartphone. The second objective was to find out if the sports organizations somehow restrict the use of mobile phones prior to the athletes' performance. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes the development in attention research and findings of recent studies, concerning smartphone effects and attention. Methodology: For the assessment of changes in attention the d2 Attention Test was used. The first testing was performed after using a smartphone for 10 minutes, the following testing was done without prior phone usage. Representatives of Prague sports organizations were contacted to answer questions regarding the mobile phone restriction in their club. Results: Results show better concentration performance when testing without prior smartphone usage. The concentration performance after the smartphone usage is in the range of 83% - 95% of the concentration performance without prior exposition to the smartphone (with the 95% confidence interval). Additionally, there was no statistically significant difference observed between the first two rows and the rest of the...

COMPARISON OF ACUPUNCTURE SINEW CHANNELS COURSES WITH MODERN KNOWLEDGE OF MYOFASCIAL CHAINS
Soldán, Kryštof ; Bitnar, Petr (advisor) ; Veselý, Viktor (referee)
Bakalářská práce Porovnání průběhu akupunkturních šlachosvalových drah s moderními poznatky o myofasciálních řetězcích 1 Abstract Fasciae are currently a much discussed theoretical and clinical topic. Their association with muscle has inspired many Western authors to describe the so-called myofascial chains. However, a similar model was also present much earlier in the medical systems of other cultures. Traditional Chinese medicine offers one of the oldest and most accurately documented views on this topic. In the Western world, the system of twelve acupuncture meridians is relatively well known, but the whole traditional system of channels is much more complex. It also includes a description of the tendomuscular meridians, which are closely related to the musculoskeletal system and, at first glance, show similarities to the myofascial chains. This bachelor's thesis is focused on the comparison of these two views, which are roughly 2000 years apart. It was prompted by the absence of such an unbiased comparison. The theoretical part of the thesis contains a basic introduction to both the modern Western systems and the traditional view represented by the more than two thousand years old Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor. The central part of the thesis consists in a direct comparison of the pathways of each...

The role of optical function and its influence to the posture
Terčová, Simona ; Oplatková, Lenka (advisor) ; Veselý, Viktor (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the optical function as one of the multisensory modalities in postural control. The theoretical part concerns the anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of the visual system and their relationship to postural functions. It also includes a further indefinite weakening of neurophysiological principles, influencing other sensory perceptions and motor manifestations with the visually impaired, who belong to group with reduced postural control. The work describes the examination methods and training options for visual perception and its impact on postural control. These applications are applied in the practical sections in the case report of visually impaired patients, in whom the influence of the individual examination unit on postural function was investigated. For the assessment were used the Rehawalk pressure platform and the clinical test of dynamic postural stability Star-Excoursion Balance Test.

Neuro-visual training of athletes
Hoffmannová, Barbora ; Veselý, Viktor (advisor) ; Čakrt, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis deals with the evaluation and training of cognitive-visual functions of elite athletes using the NeuroTracker computer program. The theoretical part pursues collecting of recent studies and literature, concerning predominantly visual perception and its connection with cognitive abilities and movement. It focuses mainly on sportsmen and evaluation of their visual functions. Furthemore it introduces the concept of neurovisual training and its possible application in other clinical fields. Methodology: The NeuroTracker program evaluates reaction abilities, visual memory, spatial imagination and other components of cognitive and visual functions. The output of this evaluation is a numerical value before and after training and calculated percentage improvement. This change was measured in a group of 64 athletes of various sports. The thesis also includes case reports of two athletes who underwent a general optometric examination, which was complemented by further visual training. Results: We have showed statistically that after a series of trainings on the NeuroTracker, there is an overall improvement of the measured parameters. Moreover we have shown that the number of performed trainings moderately correlates with the resulting improvement. Each sport correlates in a different way however....

The Definite, Indefinite and Zero Articles in Italian and in German from the Perspective of Czech Native Speakers
Veselý, Viktor ; Obstová, Zora (advisor) ; Štichauer, Pavel (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to provide a systematic review of the use of the definite, indefinite and zero articles in Italian and German. The theoretical part draws from the traditional grammars used in high schools and at universities. Furthermore, it provides a contrastive analysis from the viewpoint of Czech native speakers based on the contrastive grammar and offers possible translations of the articles to the Czech language. The practical part analyses the available teaching materials of German and Italian for foreigners and evaluates the extent to which the topic of articles is presented. This part is followed by a didactic experiment, carried out at the Faculty of Arts of the Charles University, covering the most frequent mistakes made by Czech native speakers regarding the use of articles in either of these languages.
