Slackline as a therapeutic possibility to influence postural stability
Komárková, Klára ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Mariana (referee)
Objectives: To summarize knowledge about a control of posture, a balance training and a testing on balance platform. I investigate in experimental part of my thesis if slackline training will affect stabilography and differences in quantitative parameters will be found in a training group or a control group. Hypothesis: A specific slackline training positively affects stability which was measured in posturographic selected tests done by the training group. Methods: We test postural stability in control (10 persons) and training (10 persons) group in selected tests of stability. We used a balance platform for testing. The data were statistically analysed. Results: 4 weeks of intense slackline training result in improvement of postural control. That is support by the data of stabilometric examination. The results were just below statistical significance (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The results testify that slacklining can improve postural control in healthy subjects. The results were on the boundary of statistical significance in our intervention group.

Žitná, Petra ; Vomáčková, Helena (advisor) ; Stupková, Michaela (referee)
Author: Bc. Petra Žitná Title: Evaluation of the influence of regular slackline activity on the dynamic postural stability of the sport population aged 20-30 years Aim: The aim of this work is an attempt to objectively evaluate the influence of regular slackline sporting activity on dynamic postural stability in comparison with a standard named "Athles Norm 20-30" (further stated as "Norm AN") set for sporting population aged between 20 - 30 years. Methods: The measurements were carried out in the Laboratory of kinesiology at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University. There were tested 10 participants aged 20-30 years doing the slackline sport for long time. For testing the dynamic postural stability were used the Sensory Organization Test, Unilateral Stance and Head Shake - Sensory Organization Test. The measurements on the NeuroCom Smart Equi Test were preceded by carrying out the Stork Standing Balance Test both in standardized form and modification. After specifying the statistic difference between the measured values and Norm AN there was used the Welch Test with the significance level of α = 0.05. For evaluating the correlations there was used the Pearson Test. As a high degree of reliability there was accepted the value of r ≥ 0.70. Results: There were recorded...

EEG analysis of gait on an unstable surface
Hons, Pavel ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
1 Abstract Title: EEG analysis of gait on an unstable surface Objectives: The aim of the thesis was comparison of changes of electrical activity of intercerebral brain structures using the programme sLORETA between 1) the state of rest and walk on slackline, 2) the state of rest and walk on groundline and 3) between the state of rest and projection of first-person virtual reality of walking on slackline; to find out which intracerebral areas are activated during these activities. Methods: 10 healthy participants took part in the test, 6 males and 4 females, between 18 and 30 years of age, 24 years of age on average. The experiment consisted of EEG gauging at rest with open/closed eyes (5 minutes each) and three other consequent parts in random order: 1. walk on slackline (2 minutes), 2. walk on groundline imitating walk on slackline (2 minutes), 3. watching a video with the first-person virtual reality projection of walking on slackline in basic position (2 minutes). During the whole experiment the brain activity was monitored and recorded by Wireless EEG Nicolet, EEG hat Waveguard Connect with 19 electrodes was used for collecting data by scalp EEG. The record was consequently assessed by sLORETA programme which created projection of active brain parts in 3D Talairach atlas. Results: Statistically...

Coordination ability of children of older school age
Bauerová, Anna ; Hájková, Jana (advisor) ; Přibyl, Ivan (referee)
The thesis deals with the level of coordination skills of older school-age children. In this thesis, a slackline was chosen as a tool to increase specific coordination skills. Walking on a slackline - slacklining - is used in various sports as an additional training exercise. The theoretical part of the thesis discusses the growth and overall development of 12- year old children. Further, this part describes the human balance system as well as the history and theory of slacklining. The practical part depicts and explains all tests used for the research and the results of the tests before and after the research. The research was conducted with participation of second year students of the Voděradská eight-year secondary general school, Prague 10. Students were divided into two groups of eight. The first group was a control group (without slackline training) and the second group was a training group (these students underwent fourteen hours of training). The control group took tests before and after the research. During the research period, the control group students attended physical education classes according to their timetable. The training group took tests before and after the research and underwent fourteen hours of slackline training in the meantime (instead of one hour of physical education...

Effect of training on the slackline on postural stabilization
Brožková, Martina ; Rašev, Eugen (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Title: Effect of training on the slackline on postural stabilization Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine whether training on the slackline affects postural stabilization of sample of sport aktive population. The aim was to detect changes in postural stabilization immediately after the first training (30 minutes) on the slackline and after long-term training on the slackline. Another aim was to determine to what extent influenced measurement on Posturomed itself postural stabilization (with help of control probands, who did not train on the slackline between measurements). Methods: The study was attended by two groups of probands with a total amount of n= 16, who are healthy, active sports, sample population in the age od 21-26 (8 men, 8 women equally represented in groups). Probands of training group attended during one month eight sessions on the standard slackline- 2.5 cm wide, 11 m long, stretched at a height of 80 cm. Probands of control group didn't train on the slackline, only underwent measurements of the same intervals. Everyone participated in the 3 measurements (always 3 attempts) at the beggining of the research, immediately after completing the first training session (control group after 1 hour), and after completion of the research (control group after 1 month), always...

Effect of short-term programme in slackline on skills acquisition and ankle strength
Horáková, Petra ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Brtník, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Effect of short-term programme in slackline on skills acquisition and ankle strength. Objectives: The aim of the work is to assess the short-term programme of specific skills and muscular strength of the ankle joint during mastering the slackline. Methods: Research sample consists of 20 probands without any experience with walking on a slackline. Probands were divided into three groups. The first training group consisted of 4 women and 2 men with mean age/body weight and heigh (24,5 ± 1,3 years / 63,7 ± 9 kg and 167,4 ± 8,3 cm). This group have trained on the slackline 2 times per week (1 training lesson lasted 60 minutes). The second training group consisted of 5 women and 3 men with mean age/body weight and height (24,6 ± 0,69 years / 70,05 ± 9,1 kg and 176,6 ± 7,7 cm). This group have trained on the slackline 1 time per a week. The third control group consisted of 5 women and 1 man with mean age/body weight and height (25,7 ± 3 years, 63,2 ± 7,4 kg and 168,7 ± 5 cm). Training programme lasted 8 weeks. Skill level was measured at the beginning, in the middle and in the end of the training programme. Measurement was carried out in a place on the slackline called "sweet spot". Further, we measured the strenght of dorsal and plantar flexion of the ankle joint. This strength was measured by...

Šimková, Lenka ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Malý, Tomáš (referee)
Title: The assesment of selected strength and stability parameters of an ankle plantar and dorsal flexion in slackliners. Objectives: To assess the relation between level of stability the dorsiflexion and the plantar flexion strength in slackliners. Methods: The research sample was composed of two groups - slackliners (9 person) and balanced control group (9 person) selected from physically active population. Probands were tested on the Flamingo test on the pressure plate, the test of the dorsiflexion and plantar flexion strenght on an isokinetic dynamometer. Slackliners underwent extra range of motions elements on the slackline. The level of stability was assessed by using the centre of pressure and the physical design of individual elements on the slackline. Power was assessed by using the peak torque at 30 ř and 120 ř. Results: Slackliners achieve bigger relative strength in the plantar angular velocity of rotation of 30 ř in both limbs than the control group (left: 1.51 ± 0.31 vs. 1.20 ± 0.30 Nm.kg-1 , p <0.05 , η2 = 0.21, right: 1.55 ± 0.34 vs. 1.21 ± 0.34 Nm.kg-1 , p <0.05, η2 = 0.22). The results of other parameters (postural stability, isokinetic power at the ankle angular velocity of 120 ř.s-1 and the time course of force) between the two groups did not differ significantly. Conclusion:...
