Hlásková, Klára ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Vláčilová, Ivana (referee)
Title: Comparison of somatognosia and postural stability between female sports aerobics and gymnasts Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to evaluate asomatognosia, constitutional hypermobility and postural stability in the studied groups (i.e. the group of sport aerobics gymnasts and the group of gymnasts) and their subsequent comparison with each other. Another aim is to determine whether there is a correlation between the different modalities studied, i.e. asomatognosia, constitutional hypermobility, postural stability, ability to evaluate sensory stimuli and body image. Methods: 86 girls and women aged 8-24 years, 41 in the sport aerobics group and 45 in the gymnastics group participated in the study. They were evaluated by the Petrie test, Body attitude test, body size tests (shoulder width test, pelvic width test, foot length test), limbs statesthesia, Beighton score and Y-balance test. Data was collected in the gyms of the participating sports clubs. It was conducted from March 2023 to November 2023. Microsoft Excel 365 and R statistical software (version 4.3.2) were used for statistical data analysis. Selected statistical tests were calculated for 95% significance level. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05. Results: Sports gymnasts showed better asomatognosia in the pelvic...

Two-point discrimination in adolescent patients hospitalized with anorexia nervosa
Kočí, Gabriela ; Stackeová, Daniela (advisor) ; Demeková, Júlia (referee)
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a mental illnes manifesting itselg, among other signs, with impaired body schema and rejection of food. Principal focus of the thesis was to assess the discrimination treshold, ability to evaluate sensory perception and body self-concept in adolescent female patients hospitalised with anorexia nervosa. Our goal was to clarify and better understand the still not adequately described neurophysiological aspects of anorexia nervosa. The results were compared to control group; both groups comprised 18 girls, the average age of observed group being 14,7 ± 0,71 years and average age of control group being 15,3 ±0,71 years. Two-point discrimination was examined in three areas - arm, between shoulder blades and belly - with modified caliper. The Petrie test was used in sensory perception testing, while body self-concept was measured with BAT questionare. The examinations were performed in standardised conditions during similar day times. We found significant difference in two-point discrimination in the area between the shoulder blades with significance level α = 5 % and p-value p = 0,0001. A statistically significant difference was also observed in body self-concept with significance level α = 5 % and p-value p = 0,017. Thus we conclude that patients suffering from anorexia nervosa...
