Purchartová, Dana ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Reckziegelová, Petra (referee)
Title: The Impact of Alcohol Consumption on Gross and Fine Motor Skills of Individuals Objectives of the thesis: The main objective of my thesis is to assess an immediate effect of alcohol on selected tasks from the area of fine and gross motor skills. First identified were the average values for selected tests in sober individuals, and then the values with an increasing level of alcohol in blood. The second objective is to differentiate whether or not are fine and gross motor skills affected upon the same alcohol level in blood. Methods: The required data were obtained on the basis of experimental measurements on 12 probands (6 women and 6 men) who were tested for fine motor skills using three non- standardized tests modified or created for the purpose of this experiment: threading beads on a string, unlocking locks and dropping coins to a moneybox. Gross motor skills were tested using stabilometric platform in a standing position with legs together and with open eyes for 30 seconds. The observed parameter in the fine motor skills test was the time, while in the stability test it was the track of COP; each fine motor skills test was performed three times in each round. In the second and in each subsequent round every proband was administered 0.3 g of alcohol per kg of weight. The total number of...

Kadečková, Anna ; Kokštejn, Jakub (advisor) ; Vařeková, Jitka (referee)
Title: Assessment of motor skills and body composition in children participating in organized physical activity. Objectives: Determine the level of motor skills and body composition in children participating in organized physical activity. Methods: Final research sample included 29 preschool children (4-6years). Motor skills were evaluated by using of MABC - 2 motor test (Henderson et al., 2007) - Movemet Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition. Body composition was measured using Body Mass Index (BMI) and skinfold thickness. Results: The level of motor skills in gross motor subtest (Aiming,catching, throwing) and balance subtest did not differ significantly from the mean of of preschool children from the Czech Republic (50th percentile accoding to the manual of MABC-2 motor test). The results indicate the optimal development of basic motor skills of preschool children. Indicators of body composition (skinfold thickness and BMI) point out a healthy body weight in preschoolers participating in organized physical activity. Keywords: Preschool age, gross motor skills, balance, body composition, motor skills

Special Educational Intervention in Children with Specific Language Impairment in the Kindergarten
Vávrová, Miriam ; Klenková, Jiřina (advisor) ; Zemková, Jaroslava (referee)
This Masters thesis focuses on issues of Specific Language Impairment - SLI of children of pre-school age. It monitors and evaluates development of their communication and motor skills during their time in kindergarten. The theoretical part focuses on defining basic terms which relate to communication and communication disorder with the emphasis on SLI. The psychomotor and communicational development of child from birth to entering school is described too. Also how this all affected creating the Framework Educational Programme for preschool education. The aim of the empirical part was to observe four children with SLI during their attendance at a pre-school for children with specific needs. Speech and psychomotor development of these children and its changes in connection to their teachers' intervention was observed. Part of the research included interviews with children's parents and those are also evaluated. The survey was done by the qualitative method. We get four case histories. At the end was evaluated the aims of the survey and answered questions asked and summarized the results of my investigation.

The impact of a three-month training on motor functions in preschool hockey players
Kopalová, Magdaléna ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Šťastný, Petr (referee)
Title: The impact of a three-month training on motor functions in preschool hockey players Objectives: The goal of this diploma thesis is to summarize the knowledge about motor functions in preschool children. Also to find suitable test methods which should help to evaluate the motor level of children this age who are attending the preparation course in the hockey club Sparta Praha and also evaluate the influence of a three month hockey training on postural maturity and development of motor skills on the regular surface and on the ice. Methods: The pre-experiment was conducted in hockey preparation course HC Sparta Praha in preschool children during their training. It was carried out using 5 tests evaluating postural maturity, which were evaluated by two physiotherapists and 4 tests evaluating the level of motor skills on the regular surface and on the ice, which was measured on time. Tests were performed twice, with a three-month interval. Results: After three months of training, there was no substantial improvement in postural maturity assessment tests, although the consensus of the two physiotherapists in the assessment of the postural tests maturity was relatively high, for both measurements. The top rated test was tandem walk over the line. In this test, there was also the most improvement...
