Sports medicine evaluation in paralympic athletes with physical handicap
Průdková, Barbora ; Daďová, Klára (advisor) ; Majorová, Simona (referee)
Title: Exercise testing of paralympic athletes with physical disabilities Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to find out if paralympic athletes undergo exercise testing regularly, what is involved in this testing and whether the result are being followed or eventually consulted with the coach. Methods: The work is based on qualitative research. The information is obtained using the query method. As a method of data collection, the questionnaire of own construction and informal interview were used. The questionnaire was handed out to ten paralympic athletes. Six of them suffer from inborn malformations in the form of cerebral palsy, four of them have trauma caused by an accident. Two of them have limb amputation, two of them have spinal lesion and the last one has multiple sclerosis. The interview was conducted with a representative coach, sports physician and two elite athletes with physical disabilities. Results: Based on the questionnaire and an informal interview, I have found out that only 2 out of 10 paralympic athletes regularly perform stress tests and sports evaluation. The remaining 8 athletes undergo evaluation irregularly. 80 % of respondents follow the advice and recommendation of a physician, and 20 % of them do not. Based on the interview, we can say that in current paralympic...

Dysfunctions of musculoskeletal system of the rowers and their physiotherapy
ŠÍMOVÁ, Gabriela
This bachelor's thesis deals with dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system of rowers, and possibilities of treatment by some physiotherapies. Rowing is a power-endurance sport, whose main target is to cover different distances in the shortest times using special rowing boats. This sport puts extraordinary demands on muscle performance of the upper and lower limbs and trunk. High loadings and overloading of the musculoskeletal system can lead to the formation of functional impairments or muscle imbalances. These dysfunctions reduce coordination, stability and overall performance of athletes, but also increases the risk of injury. However, despite extreme loads, the accident rate for rowers is not high, only 0,3 %, mainly because it's a non-contact sport. Rowers most often suffer from back pain or tendinitis, joint injuries, stress fractures and cramps. This bachelor's thesis is divided into two sections theoretical and practical. The theoretical section comprises basic knowledge an introduction to rowing, history of the sport, its characteristics, kinesiology of rowing motion and the most frequent musculoskeletal disorders in these athletes. This section also summarises knowledge of sports medicine and functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system, including causes and effects. The practical section describes methods of examination in physiotherapy and therapeutic procedures, including qualitative research data. This research was developed through case studies, including the medical history of probands, kinesiology entrance analysis, and design of a short-term treatment plan. The research covers a description of each course of therapy, kinesiology output analyses and an overall assessment of therapies. For each test person a specific long-term therapeutic plan was designed, and physiotherapy took place over a range of eight treatments. The aim of this thesis was to identify the most common musculoskeletal disorders in rowers, to show how we can apply appropriate kinesiotherapies, and to suggest approaches to prevent these disorders. This information may be used in the practice of sports and clinical physiotherapy or as educational material for a specific group of athletes.

Evaluation of cardiorespiratory capacity of sportsmen and obese patients measured by spiroergometry (Oxycon)
Kieu Thi, Thanh Hai ; Vilikus, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Nguyen, Hong Vu (referee)
The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the cardiorespiratory fitness of sportsmen and obese patients through the medium of spiroergometry on cycloergometer by virtue of the analyzer of exhaled gas (Oxycon). Its advantage is that the measurement takes place "on- line", therefore it allows prompt monitoring of measured spiroergometric parameters directly on screen of computer that forms part of the analyzer. The spiroergometry is a method of determining the cardiorespiratory fitness through the medium of analyzer of exhaled gas in order to state the physical fitness. For statistical evaluation of differences in values of spiroergometric indicators between these two observed groups of patients I used the Student's unpaired T-test. The theoretical part contains an introduction into the issue of obesity, obesity epidemiology, history, aetiology and health risks of this disease, classification, diagnostics, treatment, and recommendations and advices for patients. Furthermore it contains terms as sports medicine, influence of motional activity on human organism, cardiorespiratory fitness, spiroergometry methodology, and spiroergometric parameters. The practical part contains a description of spiroergometric measuring process at the Institute of Sports Medicine at the 1st Faculty of Medicine of the...
