Title: The effect of physiotherapeutic intervention on the change in thigh muscle volume after LCA surgery Objectives: The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of targeted physiotherapy intervention in patients after anterior cruciate ligament surgery in relation to thigh muscle volume. Methods: Twenty probands participated in the research. The criteria for the selection of the probands were determined as follows: age, first surgery on the lower limbs and bone tendon bone (BTB) surgical approach. Probands were randomly divided into two groups of ten - research and control. The research group completed eight individual physiotherapy sessions, one of which lasted 45 minutes. In the 10th postoperative week, the probands were given additional device rehabilitation - Imoove. In total, this group completed nine physical therapy sessions over 9 weeks. The control group only had group exercise twice a week for 30 minutes. In total, this group completed eight group sessions over a period of 4 weeks. In addition to individual and group therapy, the probands underwent group exercise in the pool five times, magnetotherapy for the knee joint six times, and laser therapy for the scar six times. The following procedures were used to evaluate the effect of the applied therapy: an Academia50 handheld scanner...

Šoltésová, Mária ; Klempíř, Jiří (advisor) ; Růžičková, Lucie (referee)
Introduction: This cross-sectional, non-interventional, non-randomized, prospective and observational study aims to determine whether sarcopenia and its types occur in a cohort of 16 patients with Huntington's disease and, if so, at which stages of the disease. The study also aspives to identify patients with Huntington's disease who are at risk of sarcopenia (so-called presarcopenia). In addition, the study also compares the results of nutritional and functional status tests between a group of patients and healthy controls who were of the same sex, age and with no further acute or chronic disease that could significantly affect their nutritional and functional status. This was done to determine to what extent the patients exhibit reduced nutritional and functional parameters as compared with the healthy population. Methods: Individuals with clinically diagnosed Huntington's disease who agreed to participate were recruited. These individuals are outpatients of the Department of Neurology, VFN in Prague and the 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague. A series of tests were performed to assess the nutritional and functional status of the individual - questionnaires of functional status, self-sufficiency and sarcopenia, bioimpedance testing, strength tests using a hand dynamometer and...

The Effect of Selected Strengthening Methods on Muscle Hypertrophy
Macho, Juraj ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Semerád, Miroslav (referee)
Title: The Effect of Selected Strengthening Methods on Muscle Hypertrophy Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to find out which of the two selected strengthening methods has bigger influence on muscle hypertrophy. The first one consists of 70 - 80 % 1-RM and 8 - 12 repetitions. The second one consists of 90 - 95 % 1- RM and 3 - 6 repetitions. Dietary wasn't changed during the intervention. Methods: Bioimpedance analysis and somatotype measurement were used. Results: According to the measurements of body composition obtained after applying the two methods we found out that there was 1 % increase of total body water after the second month of intervention. Based on this fact, the method 90 - 95 % 1- RM and 3 - 6 repetitions proved to be more efficient concerning the growth of muscles. Keywords: muscle strength, strength training, muscle mass, nutrition
