Title: Identification and Comparison of Selected Physical Fitness Parameters in Members of the Integrated Rescue System Aims of the thesis: The main aim of this thesis was to identify the level of selected indicators of physical performance or physical fitness in members of selected Integrated Rescue System (IRS) units. Another aim is to objectify the determinants in order to clarify the achieved performance with subsequent comparison between selected IRS units. Within the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS) component to identify and highlight the type of physical training with the greatest effect on the level of selected physical fitness parameters. Methods: In the present study, selected parameters of body composition (Tanita MC-980MA), postural stability (RS Footscan), flexibility (Sed and reach), isometric muscle strength of upper and lower limbs (Groinbar), isokinetic strength of knee flexors and extensors (Cybex Humac Norm), dynamic strength of lower limbs (Kistler) and selected parameters of aerobic fitness (Cortex Metalyzer 3B) were evaluated. The body composition parameters assessed were: body fat (%), fat mass (kg), muscle mass (kg), muscle mass distribution (kg) and BMI (kg-m-2); postural stability: total center of compressive force (mm); flexibility: reach (cm); isometric strength: maximum...

Social cognition in birds Testing under laboratory conditions
Vondráčková, Nikola ; Nekovářová, Tereza (advisor) ; Fuchs, Roman (referee)
The thesis focuses on avian social cognition and its experimental methods in laboratory environment. Social cognition is the ability to know each other based on individual experience. Perception, attention, reasoning, memory and communication are the necessary cognitive competence of social cognition. Some cognitive domains are exclusively in social cognition - for example communication, theory of mind etc. Species of birds living in social groups constitute the social environment in which individuals respond to each other. Research subject of this thesis consists of these social interactions. Emphasis is placed mainly on parrots and corvids. The aim of this study is to review methods which have been used in order to test social cognition as well as critical evaluation of these methods. Key words: social cognition, cooperation, competition, laboratory tests
