Abstract
Title: Applied fitness training for the blind people with a focus on the treatment of muscle imbalances Objectives: The main objective was to evaluate the muscular imbalances by means of muscle tests. Another partial goal was to provide a set of exercises for the blind trainees to exercise in the home environment. Methods: The thesis has both empirical and theoretical character. The quasi- experiment was chosen as the type of study. At work, we encounter one-group pretest- posttest design elements where there was no control group but only a group of trainees. Results: In the backwards-stretched-arms test, 4 out of 5 tested improved, in the knee- flexor test, 3 out of 5 probands improved, in one case the results in one lower limb were the same, in the last case has worsened. In the forward-bend test, all of the 5 tested improved. The reason for the second and third tests are also a false way of measuring that appeared to be benefitting for the examinees. Keywords: physical condition, exercise lessons, visual impairment, muscle tests

Hlaváčková, Klára ; Nováková, Daniela (advisor) ; Nechlebová, Eva (referee)
The aim of this work is to create an educational DVD with aerobics classes for beginners and intermediate exercisers. The DVD is designed for children and adults who want to work out at home in their free time, for novice teachers of aerobics, to liven up their lessons, and finally for heads of various sports clubs teachers who would like to include aerobics to their lessons. In the theoretical part the characteristic of aerobics is introduced, its effect on human health, and particular types of aerobics, including racing. In conclusion of the theoretical part basic steps of aerobics are described. In addition, there is also English terminology and explanation of teaching methods that are used in aerobics classes. The practical part is devoted to the learning DVD. The introduction describes the preparation for filming, followed by a transcript of choreography and stretching exercises that are used in the video, and also instructions on how to start with an exercise and what to avoid. The conclusion of the practical part is focused on a review of the DVD. The evaluation was carried out using a questionnaire survey, which was attended by a total of 60 respondents. It examined six different criteria that respondents assessed with grade 1 to 5. Overall, the DVD was evaluated by 61,7% respondents as...
