Impact of a Dog on Daily Regime and Mobility in Urban Seniors over 65 Years
 PECHAČOVÁ, Vendula
The thesis focuses on the problems of movement activity of seniors. The theoretical part deals with the topics of old age, aging and a senior and movement activities. It describes movement activities suitable for seniors and continues with the topic of a dog and its role in movement activities of seniors. The relation between a human and a dog is the last topic of the thesis. The second, empiric part of the thesis was based on the Record of Daily Activities conducted by 20 respondents in two groups for one week. The groups of respondents were divided according to whether a senior owned a dog or not. Movement activities were recorded for all the seniors, but they were in fact often influenced by dogs. The bachelor thesis points out the differences in the movement activities between the two examined groups. The research has shown that the seniors that own dogs walk much longer distances than those not having dogs. These seniors perform movement activities rather for the necessity to ensure the basic needs, not because they really want to. The results show that a dog has a positive influence on the movement activity of a senior. Both the groups had similar results in the category "Movement in the Flat", but the movement activities in the table "Movement Outdoor" differed. The research demonstrates that a dog positively influences the daily regime and movement activity of a senior. The respondents that do not own a dog should be more involved in movement activities to avoid possible health and social problems caused by inactivity.
