Muscle imbalances on people visiting fitness facilities in the age of 18 to 25
PRŮDKOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor thesis refers on muscular imbalances of regular fitness facilities visitors in the age of 18 to 25. Muscle imbalances could be built on basis of wrong technique and overusing specific body parts during exercising. Nowadays especially young people have their physical look as their priority result of visiting a gym. Due that they usually focus just on one or two body parts during all of their actual gym sessions. First part of the thesis explains the term fitness and young adults view on exercising. Next parts consist of spinal kinesiology, posture and muscle imbalances, followed by information about examination and therapy. The goal of this project was to determine muscular imbalances of bodybuilders. The following goal was to create an exercise session which will help them to get rid of these muscle imbalances. Research was conducted along regular visitors of Fitness Centre Pouzar in České Budějovice. Six respondents in total took a part in the research. History taking and kinesiology analysis was used for collection of data before the therapy. Respondents were divided in two groups where the first half of them received set exercise program and the second half did not get anything to follow. Duration of exercise program testing was approximately two months. After this period each of the groups were analysed and compared again. There was found a significant improvement of muscle imbalances of the first group with set up program compared to the second group without any specified program. This bachelor thesis can be helpful for health professionals as well as for public. The aim of the research is to extend the knowledge of exercising in fitness facilities and prevention of muscular imbalances due to wrong habits in exercising.
An importance of the muscular imbalance in the context of functional disorders of the spine
JOZOVÁ, Kateřina
ABSTRACT A topic of my thesis is an importance of the muscular imbalance in the context of functional disorders of the spine. The topic has been very up-to-date, because a large proportion of the population suffers from vertebral disorders of functional nature, which are just caused by muscular imbalances. A goal of the first part of the thesis was a theoretic analysis of the problem of muscular imbalances and functional disorders of the spine. A content of that chapter is an introduction to anatomy, kinesiology of an axial skeleton and pathogenesis of the muscular imbalances and functional disorders of the spine. Then it contains information about diagnostic and therapeutic procedures at those disorders. The goal of the research part was to map effects of a long-term exposure of muscular imbalance to the skeletal structures of the spine using standard examination methods of physiotherapy and also to evaluate an efficiency of influencing the imbalances and functional disorders of the spine with standard and alternative therapeutic approaches. For the research part of the thesis I chose a method of the qualitative research. The sample has consisted of three patients who attended a rehabilitation clinic at Hospital in České Budějovice. All three were treated for an incurred muscular imbalance and functional disorders of the spine. The tested sample was monitored for several months and results were processed in a form of case study. The patients learned principles how to deal with those disorders effectively and to implement preventive measures against their emergence. There came about the alleviation or minimisation of the muscular imbalance and about a retreat of a large part of functional blocks of the spine using different ways of treatments at all the patients. Also functions of a deep stabilization system of the spine were improved as well as statics and dynamics of the spine. Consequences caused by a long-term exposure of muscular imbalance were mapped and an effectiveness of the selected therapy was evaluated. This thesis could be used for the purposes of the study of future physiotherapists and also as an information material for patients suffering from muscular imbalances and functional disorders of the spine and in the prevention of those disorders.
