Tumor growth is conditioned by the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the body, which leads to metabolic changes and the development of tumor cachexia syndrome. Immunomodulatory nutrition and efforts to at least partially control inflammation are essential in cancer. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to evaluate the dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids in the diet of cancer patients and to analyse the main dietary sources of these polyunsaturated acids. Research Methods: In this observational and questionnaire-based non-interventional study, 10 respondents who had not shown signs of cancer for more than a year, were older than 18 years and according to the highest frequency of cancer incidence were selected. Results: The average daily intake of omega-3 FAs in the study group was 1.59 g/day for both sexes, which represents 53% of the recommended therapeutic dose of 3 g/day (DLD). In contrast, the average daily intake of omega-3 FAs in men was found to be 1.47 g/day, corresponding to 49 % of the DLD. Conclusion: Analysis of the dietary intake of cancer patients in remission suggested that their intake of omega 3 fatty acids is minimal and does not even reach the recommended values for the general...

Balušková, Denisa ; Vilikus, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Větrovská, Renata (referee)
The subject of the research and the research problem is the effort to evaluate the nutrition of extra-league hockey players and its comparison with the general population. The nutrition of an ice hockey player is usually not one of the most discussed topics in the field of sports, yet it has a great impact on sports performance. The goals were to compare the basic macronutrients, energy intake, number of meals or fluid intake. The theoretical part of the thesis is written about the characteristics of hockey and the nutrition of hockey players in the field of intake of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, drinking regime and supplements. In the practical part of the work is a quantitative research survey monitoring the diet of hockey players and its practical composition. A comparative method was used to compare the two groups, anthropometry for body analysis, online questionnaires for monitoring habits and recorded daily menus. It was important to note that most top players have limiting knowledge of nutrition issues. Education of elite athletes in the field of nutrition can ensure the development of their full sport potential.
