Selected characteristics of the mobility in women (age category 60,0-69,9 y.)
ŤOUPALOVÁ, Lenka
The aim of the thesis is to assess and to compare the selected physical characteristics in the group of thirty women of the gardening association (60,00-69,99 y.). The measurement was repeated (November 2019 and March 2020) due to a pandemic in only 17 of them. The measured characteristics were body height, body weight, circumference characteristics (circumference of right arm, hips and abdomen), skin folds (the skin fold over the biceps, the skin fold over the triceps, the subscapulare skin fold and the suprailiacal skin fold), spin mobility tests (Stibor´s symptom, Otto´s symptom, Cepoj´s sympton, Schober´s symptom, modified Thomayer´s symptom, the Scarf Test and the Lateroflexe Test). The Body Mass Index (BMI) and the sum of all four skin folds were calculated. There was also the evaluation of the footprint, The Life Satisfaction Questionnaire in the field "The Health" and "The Leisure" (Fahrenberg et al., 2001) and the questions of the supplementary questionnaire. The comparison of the average results of the November and March measurements of our group showed statistically highly significant difference (p = 0,000**) of body weight and BMI by the Student's test (t-test). The March values were significantly higher. The results of the Wilcoxon test were statistically significant for the average results of spine mobility test - Stibor´s symptom. In the November measurement, there was greater elongation of the spine in the forward bend (p = 0,030*). The research part of the thesis includes the results of the tightness of the relationship between BMI values and other data. It was found, that BMI values are not related to spine mobility tests (p > 0,05). It was the most interesting result of this part of relationships. In contrast, the results of the relationship between BMI and the rate of back pain show a correlation between these data (p = 0,049*). The average values of our group were compared with the results of the research from Olomouc (Riegerová, 2010). In this comparison, the higher average values of body weight and BMI of our group were evaluated as statistically highly significant (p < 0,01). The average values of body weight, BMI and abdominal circumference of our group were compared with the results of the research by Toman Hrušková (2018). These results were evaluated as statistically highly significant too (p < 0,01).

Selected Characteristics of the Mobility for Professional Firefighters
RYCHTÁŘOVÁ, Veronika
The aim of the thesis is to assess the mobility of the spine, the condition of flat foot and basic anthropological characteristics of professional firefighters. The measurements also included basic somatic features such as body height, body weight, skin folds, circumferential and width measures. The body mass index was calculated using body weight and body height figures. As part of the measurements, professional firefighters were subjected to spinal mobility tests (Stibor's symptom, modified Thomayer´s symptom, Otto´s symptom, Cepoj´s symptom, Schober´s symptom, lateroflex test) using a tape measure, a non-invasive standard test. A foot print on colored paper was used to assess the condition of the flat foot. Using the Chippaux-Smirak index, the value of the foot condition was generated. The results of the basic somatic features of the professional firefighters unit and the Czechoslovak Spartakiad 1985 reference unit differ greatly in favour of our ensemble. Statistically important differences in values were not made out in the body mass index. From the functional symptoms of the spine, according to the literature, the standard values included the average values of Stibor's forward bend and Schober's symptom. It was interesting to compare the components of the somatotype of our fire unit with the unit of bodyguards of the Police of the Czech Republic, where the differences in the average values of the endomorphic and mesomorphic components were evaluated as statistically high in favour of the bodyguards of the Police of the Czech Republic. The largest percentage of professional firefighters and bodyguards of the Police of the Czech Republic were among the category of somatotype - endomorphic mesomorph.

Selected characteristics of the mobility in adolescent hockey players
ČERMÁKOVÁ, Simona
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to assess the mobility of the spine, the condition of flat feet and anthropological charakteristice of hockey players. The group of probands consisted of 40 boys aged 14-18, who are members of the hockey club in the Vysočina Region. Body height, weight, circumferential proportions (right arm, abdomen, hips, right thigh) and skin folds (above biceps, triceps, quadriceps, subscapular, suprailiacal) were measured and assessed. The Body Mass Index was calculated from body height and weight. The results of basic physical characteristics of the group of adolescent hockey players and reference groups of adolescent swimmers, probands of Czechoslovakian gymnastic performance in 1985 and probands of the 6th National Anthropological Research of Children and Youth 2001 are significantly different. Statistically highly significant differences in mean values were calculated for BMI, right thigh circumference, skinfolds above triceps, subskapular, suprailiacal compared to a set of adolescent swimmers in favor hockey players. In the functional tests of the spine are symptom of Stibor and symptom of Otto in forward bend, where the group of teenage swimmers achieved better than the group of teenage hockey players. The differences in the mean Chippaux-Šmiřák index (evalution of the condition of flat feet) right and left foot feet values of hockey players and swimmers were evaluated as highly statistically significant, more frequent flat feet was recorded in teenage hockey players. The differences in the mean scarf test right hand were evaluated as statistically significant in favor hockey players.

Selected characteristics of the mobility in adolescent swimmers
LANDAUEROVÁ, Martina
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to evaluate the mobility of the backbone, the condition of flat foot and the basic anthropological characteristics of adolescent swimmers. The research participated 36 boys aged 15-18 from swimming group of South Bohemian Region. The basic somatic proportions like body weight, body height, circumference proportions (of right arm, abdomen, sides and right thigh) and skinfolds (above biceps, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac and on the thigh) were selected from the detected values. The Body Mass Index was calculated from the values of body weight and height. The results of the basic body characteristics of our group of adolescent swimmers and the referential group of adolescent hockey players are not significantly different from the results of participants of Czechoslovakian gymnastic performance in 1985. Compared to the group of adolescent hockey players, statistically highly significant differences in values were detected in BMI and skinfolds above triceps, subscapular and suprailiac in favor of hockey players. The bachelor thesis also deals with the evaluation of the mobility of the backbone and flat foot. From the tests that evaluate the backbone mobility were selected: symptom of Stibor, symptom of Otto, symptom of Schober, symptom of Cepoj, the test of lateroflex, the scarf test and modified symptom of Thomayer. The most interesting tests of the backbone are symptom of Stibor and symptom of Otto in forward bend. In these cases, the swimmers achieved better results than hockey players. Hockey players achieved better results in the scarf test.

The physical characteristics of preschool children in relation to type of nutrition in infancy
ŤOUPALOVÁ, Lenka
The part of this bachelor´s thesis is about description and comparison of breast milk and artificial nutrition. Some previous breastfeeding researches are also described here. The aim of the thesis is to assess selected the physical characteristics of breastfed and non-breastfed five years old children. The measured characteristics were body height, body weight, selected circumference characterictics (the right arm circumference, the gluteal circumference, the waist circumference and the right thigh circumference) and the values of selected skin folds (the skin fold over the triceps, the subscapulare skin fold, the suprailiacal skin fold and the thigh over the quadriceps). In addition, the Body Mass Index (BMI) and the sum of all four skin folds were calculated. The differences in average values for breastfed and non-breastfed children were not statistically significant by Student´s test (t-test). Only the skin fold on the thigh over the quadriceps was at limit of significance for the non-breastfed girls in our group. In contrast, the results of the Mann-Whitney test for breastfed and non-breastfed children were statististically significant for the suprailiacal skin fold, for the skin fold on the thigh over the quadriceps and for the sum of all four skin folds in favor of the non-breastfed girls. The differences in breastfed and non-breastfed averages were evaluated for the group reduced by probands with BMI values above 97th percentile. The t-test comparison showed a statistically significant difference in the group of girls. The non-breastfed girls had higher values of the subscapulare skin fold, skin fold on the thigh over the quadriceps and the sum of all four skin folds. The research part of the thesis includes the results of the relationship among the physical characteristics. The most interesting result were among the selected circumference and BMI. It was found that the BMI has the closes relationship with the arm circumference in all groups of our children. Further, it was found that the sum of skin folds has a closer relationship with BMI than with the body weight in non-breastfed boys group and both of girl´s groups. The children from our group were compared with the previous researches. The most significant results were related to the comparison of the body height and the body weight. Our group had statistically highly significant higher values of these both characteristics.

Motoric efficiency and somatic features of men
MRÁČKOVÁ, Petra
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to detect physical proportions, composition and motoric efficiency of men aged 25 to 35 years. From the measured data, there were selected basic somatic features e.g. body height, body weight and peripheral proportions, from which the circumferences of waist, hips, arm, forearm, thigh and calf were selected. Using the device Bodystat?1500MDD, body composition of investigated subjects was detected, from which BMI, body fat, active body mass were selected. This bachelor thesis deals with Ruffier test and dynamometry as well. A questionnaire thanks to which the sports activities in men's leisure time have been found out, is also part of the thesis. The detected data were compared to results of previous research studies. In most cases, the measured data of body proportions of men found as a result of the research are higher than measured data of the previous research studies.
