Donor eating habits and drinking schedule before plasmapheresis
Hostinová, Alena ; Tuka, Vladimír (advisor) ; Indra, Tomáš (referee)
(thesis): Basis: This diploma thesis follows the bachelor thesis that concentrates on the eating habits and water intake of blood plasma donors before plasmapheresis. Goals: The research had four goals: 1) explore to what extent does providing of the educational material influence the awareness of blood plasma donors. 2) To map subjective state of health and lifestyle of plasma donors regarding their physical activity, healthy, regular, varied diet, smoking and sleep schedule. 3) To explore the knowledge of regime measures and risk behaviour before donating blood plasma. To evaluate donors' eating habits and water intake before plasmapheresis and reveal potential deficiencies. 4) Evaluate the knowledge of a given problem with those respondents who were provided with educational material in comparison with those respondents who got no educational material. Methods: An educational material was created regarding regime measures of blood plasma donors. This educational material served as the basis for standardized anonymous questionnaire. Maintaining the ethical principles and with the ethical committee's approval, overall data of 40 respondents frequenting Haematology Department and blood transfusion of the Military University Hospital Prague.

Šmaň, Jakub ; Šteffl, Michal (advisor) ; Kinkorová, Ivana (referee)
Title: The effect of mineral-based alkaline water on the metabolic response to anaerobic exercise. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of drinking different types of water in response to anaerobic exercise. Methods: The bachelor thesis corresponds with an empirically based study of the observational and experimental character. The measured research sample consisted of students (n=11) from the military department attending a full-time form of study at the Fakulty of Physical Education and Sport of Charles University in Prague. The subjects had passed mandatory medical check-up and obtained informed consent, which was signed by all the participants in advance. Bioelectrical impedance analysic, lactate and urine consentration, Step-test, noise and light reaction tests where measured during the experiment. Results: The average power in Step-test, was in the first part of the measurement of both tests after regular water intake 715,8 W, compared to alkaline water intake, which was higher and reached 872 W. In the first part of the measurement for both tests, the average time of reaction to light signal was 0.001 m·s-1 lower after using regular water than after using alkaline water. Furthermore, in the second part of the measurement, the average time of reaction to light...

Analysis of the positive aspects of the lifestyles of students of the University of South Bohemia.
ŠVÁBOVÁ, Marie
It is currently very hot topic lifestyles, especially healthy lifestyle. Therefore, it is the thesis deals with just this topic by analyzing the positive aspects of lifestyle for JU students in the Czech Budejovice. The work is divided into theoretical and empirical part. In the theoretical part I deal with various positive aspects of lifestyle (physical activity, nutrition, relaxation and regeneration). In the empirical part, the main objective was to compare the results with the results of other studies, dealing with a similar problem. For kvantitivní research method I used questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to 500 respondentkám, return was 73.8%. I set three hypotheses: H1: The students who have a positive attitude to physical activities, attend at least 3 times a week physical activity. H2: The students who know the principles of a healthy diet, regularly eating breakfast daily. H3: Students who sleep every day for more than 8 hours after waking are enough sleep. Based on Pearson's chi-square test, I examined the relationship between the issues of the hypotheses. Then I describe these results and graphed using graphs. The main objective of the empirical part was fulfilled.

Dietary habits of younger school children
CHRTOVÁ, Libuše
The bachelor thesis is concerning dietary habits in young school-age children. There was set one major goal of the thesis, to find out more about dietary habits in young school-age children including basic recommended principles of healthy lifestyle - regular food intake, sufficient and balanced water intake, sufficient fruit and vegetables consumption, and regarding the fact that the subjects were school-age children, also sufficient intake of dairy products. Theoretical section explains terms, describes recommended dietary intake of nutrients in each stage of children´s development and contains food guide pyramid with all food groups and follows their satisfaction in children´s diet. There are also discussed topics as 1-day food intake pattern, visiting fast-food kiosks, and also quality and quantity of water intake. In the thesis are also listed preventive programs targeted on healthy eating in children taking place at basic schools under the sponsorship of Health, Agriculture, and School Ministries, and also of private organizations. To carry out practical section, there was chosen qualitative research method, method of low level interview, specifically semi-structured interview. Semi-structured interview was used in children at basic schools in Ceske Budejovice and at Lisov. The experimental group consisted of 6 participants, three boys and three girls from 7 to 11 years old. Each child was asked 10 basic questions and where necessary, I asked additional questions, to get more detailed information. Results showed that children of young school age have regular food intake with sometimes omitted breakfasts. Unfortunately, the compositions of daily meals do not meet the criteria of healthy eating. The half of respondents does not regularly eat for lunch two-course meal, i.e. soup and a main dish, and they also do not eat available fruit and vegetables with their lunch. The investigation also showed that most of the children do not have in snacks fruit or dairy products, but rather only pastries. From the participants´ answers is evident that half of respondents have sufficient intake of fluids qualitatively and quantitatively. Unfortunately, the other half of respondents do not drink enough fluids and also the composition is not adequate because of drinking only sweetened beverages. The positive finding was that no one of the experimental group indicated drinking some kind of stimulant beverages as for instance coffee, energy drinks, and cola drinks. Only one child out of all participants consumed recommended number of five pieces of fruit and vegetables. The intake of fruit was sufficient - at least two pieces a day, but it was also prevalent over vegetables intake, while recommendations suggest opposite ratio. No one of the participants has not eaten daily recommended amount of vegetables. The answers to the questions about milk and dairy products consumption demonstrated that most of respondents drink milk at least ones a day. No one´s intake met recommended daily amount of dairy products for children of this age, but the question is if the children really disliked dairy products or if that came of wrong dietary habits at home, or if I was inexperienced to interview children of this age. I also included two more questions that were not part of major investigative questions but seemed to me be important to have complete overview about dietary habits of each child. First question was about meat preference and the results showed that they all preferred chicken meat. No one was vegetarian and no one preferred fish meat. The second question was asking about visiting very popular fast foods. Results demonstrated that participants do not prefer this type of food. When I reviewed and compared results from my study with other studies concerning similar topic which was dietary habits in young school-age children we found similar results.
