Name of diploma thesis: Physical activity and body composition in patients with ankylosing spondylitis Prepared by: Bc. Lucie Srovnalíková Supervisor: PhDr. Andrea Levitová, Ph.D. Target: The findings the size of physical activity and body composition in the groups of patients with ankylosing spondylitis with different duration of disease and subsequent comparison of the size of physical activity with selected health recommendations for a healthy population. Methods: The sample consists of participants (10 women and 36 men, n = 46, 42.8 ± 11.3 years old) with clinically diagnosed disease ankylosing spondylitis who have been outpatiently visiting Rheumatology institute in Prague. The sample was divided into three groups according to the duration of disease (1st group 0-6 years, 2nd group 7 -14 years, 3rd group 3-15 years). Accelerometer ActiGraph GT3X was used for determine the size of weekly physical activity. Bioelectrical impedance using a BIA 2000 was used to assess the body composition. Results: From the perspective of the physical activity health recommendations all three groups met health recommendation for minimum amount of moderate-intensity physical activity throughout the week (150 minutes). Neither group, however, did not meet health recommendation for minimum average daily number of...

Active senior lifestyle
Dušková, Iveta ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Horčic, Josef (referee)
Subject: Active senior lifestyle Author's name: Bc. Iveta Dušková Supervizor: profesor Ing. Václav Bunc CSc. Objective: To verify whether biological age of tested seniors is in line with their calendar age. The differnce towards calendar age will be evaluated via ECM/BCM ration based on body content analysis. I will investigate the influence of physical activity on slower ageing physiology and the effect of physical activity on status of net muscle mass and on frequency of civilazation diseases. The goal is to figure out if active lifestyle is available also for seniors. Methods: The core of the work is qualitative and quantitative survey mapping antropometric parameters by bioimpedancy method. The functional values were collected by motorical step est and by handgrip. Further the subjective quality life judgment interview with yes/no options was used for the target senior group. Results: The relationship was found for the bioimpedancy results and the the volume of physical weekly activity (in hours) and level of BMI and pecentage of body fat. Further the realtionship was found for physical activity volume and for the dynamometric and motorical test results. Thjere is a difference between men and women. There was no relationship found for ECM/BCM coefficient and physical activity volume. The type...

Innovativ ways to affect overweight and obesity (use of the machine Body - Space VacuTherm)
Šindlerová, Hana ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Kovářová, Lenka (referee)
Title: Innovativ ways to affect overweight and obesity (use of the machine Body - Space VacuTherm). Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to evaluate if walking on Vacutherme encourages and accelerate body fat loss and figure forming as advertisements claim. Based on my own measurements of the clients of our clinic MS Clinic in Slaný I will examine body weight loss, particularly body fat loss, decrease of centimeters of those areas that are exposed to vacuum and change in body composition. I compare the results of clients enrolled in group used to weight reduction only VacuTherm lesson in the machine, with clients of the second group, which combine lessons in the machine with another physical activity attending at least 2 times a week for longer period of time. Methods: To get results important for bachelor thesis I chose only measurement method. For data processing, this method is most accurate. I used two forms of measurement. With one presentation helped me body analyzer Tanita BC-1000, which provided me with information that can not be measured by conventional methods. The second option is a common way of measuring the circumference of lots tracked to within one centimeter. At work I examine a group of 20 women who underwent diagnostic input on physical analyzer, where they were measured value...

Fojtíková, Monika ; Fialová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Tilinger, Pavel (referee)
Title of thesis: Contribution of consulting service to a change of lifestyle Summary: The question of healthy life style has been recently in the centre of frequently discussed topics. The population's lifestyle has changed noticeably in comparison with the past and high-quality nutrition and regular motion activity is frequently neglected. People suffer from stress, lack of sleep and all these factors bring an increased level of heath risk. Among others, the society reacts to this fact by founding an amount of consulting clinics which try to help people to change and achieve a healthier and better quality life style. This thesis is concerned with an effect of a programme individually formed by a consultant on a change of life style and consequently on a change of female physical constitution at the age of 18 - 65. The research is supposed to reveal whether the program itself, regular controls and feed - backs will bring positive changes of life style and if there consequently follows a reduction of body weight as well as improvement of other physical parameters. Objective of thesis: Our aim was to determine what kind of women seek for help and consultations in the area of healthy life style. We were also interested which effect individually formed programme has and whether this change also...

The comparison of different methods of body fat measuring by ensemble of adult women devided into five groups according to the BMI level
Šebková, Jana ; Matoulek, Martin (advisor) ; Svačina, Štěpán (referee)
Title: The comparison of different methods of body fat measuring by ensemble of adult women devided into five groups according to the BMI level. Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to compare values of gained percentage of total body fat by descriptive method such as bioelectrical impedance analysis and skinfolds measuring in comparison with "gold standard method" DEXA and to evaluate the usability of each method of body composition measuring by five groups of women, devided according to BMI level (in range 20-47 kg/m2 ). The purpose of this thesis is to find the most useful method especially for the overweight and obese women (BMI over 30 kg/m2 ) and to estimate the equation for the whole group. The other part of this thesis is the theoretical conclusion of the matters of body composition assessing and the importance of good knowledge about this topic for physiotherapists. Methods: The study was realizing from January of 2010 to March of 2011. There were 136 women, who were clients of Fitness center of VŠTJ Medicina Praha and jointed to the group voluntarely. The criteria of choosing the subjects into the study were: age 18 - 75 years, BMI 20 ≤ 45 kg/m2 , relatively healthy without accute disease. Women with cardiostimulator, pregnant women or nursing mothers were excluded. The monitored...

The level of physical activity among high school students and their parents of Secondary school business, Husova, České Budějovice
NOVOTNÁ, Štěpánka
The presented work seeks to determine the level of physical activity among secondary school students in the nation-wide research of the active lifestyle and fitness of Czech youth. The research is primarily focused on the relationship between physical fitness defined on the basis of test kits health-related fitness of children and youth INDARES and BMI, body fat at adolescents. To collect data for the research was used a standardized questionnaire IPEN, monitoring the number of steps using pedometers Yamax Digiwalker SW-700 and health-related fitness testing using the test kits INDARES. The research was conducted in December 2014 and May 2015. Data were obtained from 55 secondary school students aged 16-18 in the České Budějovice. The results of the survey revealed that the average value of the respondents BMI and body fat is normal health-related fitness. Research has shown that the amount of body fat (r = 0.5200, p = 0.000) has a greater effect on the test aerobic fitness than BMI (r = 0.2569, p = 0.000). Physical inactivity brings health risks and just that should be the impetus for a change of lifestyle.

The level of physical activity among high school students and their parents of gymnasium Jírovcova.
VANDLÍČKOVÁ, Karolína
The thesis is focused on the analysis of physical activity among secondary school students in the Czech Budejovice. The work is divided into a literature review and a practical part. A review of literature is divided into several chapters. First, I explain basic concepts, which include physical fitness, physical activity and inactivity. In the next section I describe the selected anthropometric parameters such as body fat and BMI. The next chapter deals with closer adolescence and physical activity associated with this developmental period. In the practical part of the research was investigated the influence of selected somatic characteristics on adolescent physical activity. Research was attended by 55 high school students who use the Internet portal INDARES record their physical activity. Through its two-week pedometer monitor physical activity. Norma 10,000 steps met the 75% of students BMI (Body Mass Index) had the standard 87% of students and 60% of students had normal body fat percentage. Intended hypotheses assumed that physical activity has a certain dependence on BMI and body fat were not confirmed.
