Nutrition of primary school boys in 7th-9th grade in the Covid-19 pandemic during and after distance education
KVĚTOVÁ, Kristýna
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of children's diet and the impact of distance education on their nutrition. The aim was to map the somatic development of boys in 7th-9th grade, to assess adherence to proper dietary recommendations, and to compare the diet during the Covid-19 pandemic with the diet after distance. The theoretical part deals with the energy needs of children and its components, the importance and need of macronutrients and the most important micronutrients for the children's group. It also discusses recommendations for children's nutrition, drinking regime and physical activity, issues related to children's diet, assessment of somatic development and last but not least the relation of the covid-19 pandemic to the topic. A total of 10 boys were involved in the research part of the work, with each boy provided a seven-day dietary record. A qualitative method using semi-structured interview was chosen to collect data. The interviews were then compiled into case reports along with measured anthropometric data, and the information from the weekly dietary record, including the average daily nutrient calculations made using software Nutriservis Professional and Kalorické tabulky, was assessed in the dietary results. The results showed that the majority of boys were at the higher percentiles with their BMI and weight measurements. During the distance education period, the informants experienced a concurrent increase in both BMI and weight percentiles, with half of them remaining unchanged in height percentile. An assessment of the individual dietary recommendations found that informants were generally not following any of the recommendations. On the positive side, consumption of sweet and salty treats was lower, but this was compensated for by sweetened beverages in half of the informants. During the distance education, boys showed a negative change in the groups of fruit and vegetables, dairy, sweet and salty snacks, and also a change in drinking regime.

Dynamometric measurements for 11-year-old boys
MOLNÁR, Matěj
The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to assess the results of measurements with three devices evaluating the strength of the muscles of the upper limb (Collin, Takei and the Vernier school system). The group of probands consisted of 37 boys aged 11 years from the Vysočina region. In addition to muscle strength, somatic dimensions such as body height, body weight and skin fold over the triceps were also measured. Compared to the norm for the Czech population (VI. Natiowide Anthropological Survey 2001), the average values of body height (p = 0.01) differ statistically significantly in favor of our group, the values of body weight (p = 0.95), Body Mass index (p = 0.11) and skin fold over the triceps (p = 0.58) did not differ statistically significantly. The student's t-test revealed statistically significant differences between the mean values of the group in the measurements of the Takei, Vernier and Collin instruments in favor of the Takei dynamometer. Correlation analysis showed that the values of hand grip strength between Takei-Vernier (p = 0.00) and Takei-Collin (p = 0.00) correlated statistically significantly. However, for Takei and Vernier (first measurement, right hand, r = 0.81) correlated more closely than with the Takei and Collin instruments (first measurement, right hand, r = 0.51).

The title of the bachelor thesis: The evaluation of selected elementary school students' physical fitness by using UNIFITTEST Prepared by: Bc. Adéla Vélová Thesis supervisor: PhDr. Ales Kaplan, Ph.D. Objectives: The aim of the diploma thesis was to find out the current level of the fitness of the 5th graders at selected primary schools in the district of Jablonec nad Nisou, which do not focus on sports. These were pupils who fall into the age category of 10 and 11 years. I processed the ascertained results. Subsequently, I made a comparison between the individual primary schools to find out which of the tested schools achieved better results. Methodology: The main method of the research was the practical testing of students by using a test battery UNIFITTEST (6-60), from which I applied four motor tests (two-footed jump, sit- ups repeatedly for 60 seconds, shuttle run 4x10 m and the Cooper's test - 12 minutes run). I compared all the measured data with the relevant UNIFITTEST standards for the given age category (10-11 years). Another part of my diploma thesis was a short anonymous questionnaire designed for physical education teachers, refering to the finding out opinions of physical education of the 5th graders. Results: The results for the boys and the girls were very balanced. Both sexes across...
