Tensiomyography – measurement uncertainty analysis
Sikorová, Pavlína ; Mornstein, Vojtěch (referee) ; Vlk, Daniel (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the analysis of measurement uncertainty during the tensiomyographic measuring. Seven factors have been suggested (i.e. uncertainties), that may cause an error in measurement. Their influence on the measured parameters was tested in a series of experiments on m. biceps femoris and m. biceps brachii of two subjects. The results of these tests were then compared with the referential values from the physiotherapist and the device manufacturer. Based on this comparison, the extent of uncertainty of diagnostically essential parameters Dm and Dc has been designated. Dm is heavily influenced by six parameters out of seven, whereas Tc is influenced only by one.

Effect of Exercise on Lipid Metabolism in White Adipose Tissue
Gazdová, Tatiana ; Horáková, Olga (advisor) ; Tauchmannová, Kateřina (referee)
Obesity and old age are more prevalent among the current human population than ever before. Increased fat accumulation and hormonal dysregulation are common hallmarks of both these states. It is well reported that both states are associated with impaired lipolysis and glucose homeostasis as a result of disrupted metabolic pathway signalling. Current research offers exercise as a possible remedy, which could improve substrate handling in obesity and old age. Increased energy expenditure, myokine production, and improved insulin sensitivity are all potential benefits of exercise that could mitigate the health risks associated with obesity and ageing. In this work we aim to explore the effect of acute endurance exercise protocol on lipolytic activity of visceral and subcutaneous white adipose tissue depots of lean and young, obese, and aged mice. By the addition of forskolin, isoproterenol, and insulin into the explant media we hope to assess the functionality of β-adrenergic signalling in our subjects. Post exercise lipolytic rate, measured as non-esterified fatty acid release, increased in both depots in all test groups. Glycerol release did not follow the same pattern. Additionally, lipolytic rate, measured as non-esterified fatty acid release, in visceral adipose tissue was higher in samples from...

Influence of alcohol on the contractile properties of skeletal muscle
Vrba, Matěj ; Šteffl, Michal (advisor) ; Kinkorová, Ivana (referee)
Title: Influence of alcohol on the contractile properties of skeletal muscle Objectives: To identify the impact of alcohol to contractile attribute (Tc - contraction time and Dm - maximal displacement) m. rectus femoris. Method: The diploma thesis corresponds with empirically-theoretical based study. The research has a character of a quasiexperiment. The measured participants were consisted of students (n = 8) of Military Department (VO) and students (n = 3) of civilian (TVS) of attending full-time studies at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport (FTVS) of Charles University (UK) in Prague. There were used the methods of descriptive statistics to describe it - rate position (arithmetic mean) and a measure of variability (standard deviation). Contractile attributes (Tc, Dm) were measured on the device TGM 100 at an electricity current intensity 80 mA. To analyse the normality of data was used Kolmogorov-Smirkov's test. For further calculations was used parametric method one-way ANOVA for repeated measurements were used statistical significance. For statistical processing was used computer program IBM SPSS Statistics 22 and the individual dose of alcohol relative to body weight was administered in three rounds at 20 minute intervals. Results: The average Tc was 33.23 ± 3.45 ms for the first...

The influence of alcohol on muscle contraction time in the thigh muscle area
Richter, Michael ; Šteffl, Michal (advisor) ; Kinkorová, Ivana (referee)
Name of thework: The alcohol influence on the rate of muscle contraction in the muscles of the thigh area Objective of the thesis: 1. The aim of the work was to determine the influence of an alcohol on contractile properties of muscles of m. Rectus femoris and m. Vastus lateralis in men and women. 2. Comparison of properties of postural and phasic muscles. Method: This is an empirical - theoretical work in which the research has the character of a quasi-experiment of a group of 22 probands of different genders with an experimental way of obtaining data. The experiment was applied on students that attend UK FTVS daily. The age of students ranged from 21 to 25 years. All students had to have a valid medical check-up and passed through a CAGE questionnaire that identifies alcohol addiction. The measurement was performed with the TMG 100, which serves to measure the contractile properties of the muscles. The muscles m.rectus femoris as representatives of postural musles and m.vastus literalis as representatives of phasic muscles, were chosen as examples. The research consisted of 4 rounds, where the first round was alcohol-free and the other three were with alcohol. Each round contained a dose of 0.3 grams of alcohol per kilogram of weight. For women this formula was modified. All results were...
