Title: Effect of neurotraining on post-concussion syndrome in a football player - a case report Aims: The aim of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of neurotraining for alleviating the symptoms of post-concussion syndrome using a case study of an adult football player after concussion. Methods: The case-control study used the test, re-test technique. The standardized SCAT5 questionnaire, neuroimaging system testing using optotype, prismatic flipper 6/12, Neurotracker, RightEye and Senaptec Sensory Station were used to assess changes in the effectiveness of the method. Stability measurements were performed using the Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite and, for cognitive function, the Stroop effect. Next, a neurodiagnostic was performed, based on which the proband was selected to perform neurotraining exercises for two months (visual system and mechanoreception were tested). Results: The proband improved in visual acuity by 20 %, vergence flexibility by 44 %, neurocognitive function by 44 %, reaction time by 29 %, depth of field binocularly by 12 %, visualization by 6 % and improved on the neurotracker by 0.3. There was a slight deterioration in left eye accommodation and binocularity by 5 %, depth of field in the right eye by 1 %, in the left eye by 4 %, and in the transition of focus from long...

Olšáková, Markéta ; Třebický, Vít (advisor) ; Stich, Jaroslav (referee)
Title: The impact of head injuries on the olfactory function and quality of life of boxers Boxing is one of the most widespread amateur and professional martial arts with a long Olympic tradition. Practicing boxing has numerous positive benefits, such as increasing physical fitness, but in comparison with other sports, injuries are common in boxing, especially in the head area, which often have serious consequences and impact on many aspects of quality of life. The aim of this theoretical bachelor's thesis is therefore a literature review of current research in the area of the incidence and severity of head injuries in boxing, the relationship of head injuries with olfactory disorders and loss of smell and their overlap into the quality of everyday life. Fractures and laceration of the nose are common boxing injuries, while the most serious are brain injurie such as concussions or contusions accompanied by bleeding. Such head traumas can cause olfactory disorders or loss of smell and taste. Although these senses are not usually considered very important in the public eye, their functioning has major effect on many areas of everyday life, such as personal hygiene, diet, environmental hazard detection, mental health, or interpersonal and social relationships. Future scientific research needs to be...
