Evaluation of the motor activity of older school-age children by the MABC-2 test battery at a selected elementary school
ŽÁNOVÁ, Marie
The aim of this graduation thesis is to find out the level of fine and gross motoric skills amongst children of older school age in a selected elementary school. The theoretical part of the thesis was based on the literature review. In June 2021 we tested 10 girls ages 11-12 years. The level of their motor skills was measured by a standardized Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition, which includes 8 motor tests suitable for both genders. The testing was completed in the gym of Pohůrecká primary school in České Budějovice after informed consent of children's legal representative. A survey was carried out to characterize the sample. Based on the experiment, it was found that the best results were obtained in the aiming & catching (62,1th percentile). The next one was the balance task (41,7 percentiles) fallowed by the manual dextery (40,2 percentile). One girl was diagnosed with the 3rd band motor skills and ske got the receommendition for a specialist. The overall level of gross motor skills of tested children is slighty above average.

Evaluating the effect of exercise program DNS FIT KID in sportive older school-age children Abstract The diploma thesis evaluates of the effect of an exercise program called DNS FIT KID based on children older school-age who play sports. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis contains general knowledge about Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization. It describes the basic, such as developmental kinesiology, postural function and the stabilization system of the spine. Furthermore, the study also characterizes the DNS FIT KID exercise program, its key principles and exercise position. In the last section of the theoretical part of the diploma thesis, it approaches the specifics of the period of a child older school-age in sports. Methods: The research involved 15 sports participants (athletes and kayakers) aged 13 to 15 years. All participants attended 12 lessons of the DNS FIT KID exercise program. Once a week, the lessons took place under the guidance of a trained physiotherapist by the DNS method. Before and after the exercise program, the participants were examined using DNS FIT KID tests, gross motor tests and balance tests from the MABC-2 battery. Results: In DNS FIT KID tests, the results improved by an average of 11.2 points (p < 0,001), in tests from MABC-2 battery, the percentile of gross motor...

Svoboda, Václav ; Daďová, Klára (advisor) ; Kamarýtová, Jitka (referee)
Title: Impact of spa stay on obesity of older school-aged children. Purpose: Principal purpose of this thesis is to find out and assess the impact of spa stay on obesity of older school-aged children. Methodology: 100 children in the age of 11-15 participated in this inquiry (49 boys, 51 girls, average age 13 years). The children went through the 28-day long reduction treatment in spa facility. At the beginning and end of the therapy the following criteria were assessed: body weight, BMI, volume of body fat, volume of muscle mass, abdominal circumference and tests of agility, endurance and strength (Jacik's motoric test and test of walking for 2 km). During the 4-day treatment the children had the adjusted diet to 5000 KJ, respectively 8000 KJ (by age) and they participated every weekday in group exercise classes and guided walk. Results: The outcomes showed that the spa treatment favourably affected all observed criteria. The decrease of the following criteria of the respondents is statistically significant: body weight decrease (on average by 5,76 kg), decrease of volume of fat tissue (on average 3,36 %) and decrease of abdominal circumference (on average 5,62 cm). At the same time the ratio of children in particular categories of obesity and overweight changed, at the end of the stay, 28,6 %...
