Neurotraining in tennis
Gavendová, Karolína ; Kočíb, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hráský, Pavel (referee)
Title: Neuro-athletic training in tennis Objectives: The bachelor thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical and its aim is to inform about neuro-athletic training and the possibilities of including this training in the tennis preparation of players of different age categories. At the same time, the theoretical part also provides a basic overview of the central nervous system and sensory systems on which neuro-athletic training is built. The goal of the second part is to create a stack of exercises that neuro-athletic training uses for tennis players of different age categories. The set of exercises will be divided into four sections - evaluation of training results, general exercises for visual, vestibular and proprioceptive training, neuro-athletic exercises for speed development, neuro-athletic exercises for strength development. Methods: In the theoretical part, we analyzed literature, internet resources and videos dealing with the topic of neuro-athletic training. Based on the analysis, we synthesized the individual findings in order to create a clear information base on the physiological aspects of tennis, the central nervous system and sensory senses, neuro-athletic training. Based on this information, we selected suitable neuro- athletic exercises and created a stack of...

The response of the visual system when driving a car in real conditions and in a simulator during a parallel motor task.
Čiháková, Lucie ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Lopot, František (referee)
Work title: The response of the visual system when driving a car in real conditions and in a simulator during a parallel motor task. Aims: To implement a laboratory measurement in a driving simulator and in real conditions during a parallel motor task. To track the response of the visual system during the task and to determine potential differences in the response of the visual system and in the speed in the simulator and in the real car environment. Methods: The laboratory measurement was realized in a driving simulator OCTAVIA II. The measurement in real conditions was realized in Škoda Octavia as well. The eye-tracking method was used to track the drivers` eyes. Results: In the simulator the more experienced driver managed to do the parallel motor task within a shorter period of time than the less experienced driver, lower frequency of looks at the radio during the tasks with the more experienced driver was not proved. There was not an evidence of more balanced speed during the drive with the more experienced driver in the simulator. On the average the driver spent shorter time doing the tasks in the real environment than in the simulator and the total number of looks at the radio was lower. The speed of the drive in the real environment was lower than the speed in the simulator. Key words:...

Summary of occupational therapy tests with possible use in testing dyspraxia
Holubová, Kateřina ; Demeková, Júlia (advisor) ; Zounková, Irena (referee)
The aim of the thesis was to find occupational therapy tests, or part thereof which could be used to test various inputs perception function of CNS. In cooperation with child and adult occupational therapists from Motol Hospital were researched occupational therapy various standardized tests designed to test children and adults. Then of them selected those tests (or a portion thereof) that contain the testing of individual sensory modalities of adult patients. Ultimately, these tests were applied to a group of adult population and evaluated. The whole work was compiled in the form of research. It was assumed that in the sets occupational therapy standardized tests, there are tests or parts that are able to focus their testing different modalities of perception function of the CNS within the cortical functions.

Neural Basis of magnetic compass orientation in C57BL/6J mice
Bláhová, Veronika ; Němec, Pavel (advisor) ; Druga, Rastislav (referee)
The ability to perceive the Earth's magnetic field has been demonstrated in a variety of animals, including representatives of all five classes of vertebrates. The physiological mechanisms underlying magnetic field sensation, however, remain largely unknown. Behavioral, physiological, neuroethological studies and studies using early response genes as neuronal activation markers indicated that a major role in the perception and processing of magnetic information play trigeminal, vestibular and visual systems. Subsequently, magnetic information seem to be integrated with multimodal sensory and motor information within the hippocampal-entorhinal system. In the majority of studies, however, birds have been used as model organisms. In this work I analyzed the neural substrate of magnetic compass orientation in the mouse strain C57BL/6J using markers c-Fos and Egr1. I found that all the aforementioned systems contain neurons responsive to the experimental magnetic fields. This finding demonstrates a complex processing of the magnetic information at level of the central nervous system.
