Typical Traffic Accidents of Hazardous Frivers Focusing on the Elderly
Krchová, Zuzana ; Semela, Marek (referee) ; Schmeidler, Karel (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on the issue of seniors in transportation and examines the typical causes of traffic accidents caused by the participation of persons of this age category. The theoretical part of the thesis explains the demographic development of the society with regard to the population’s mobility and describes the personality of the person in the transport environment from the traffic psychology point of view focusing on seniors. The empirical part of the thesis focuses on the analysis of traffic accidents with the participation of seniors, defining the causes. It sets out the practical tools that can be used to objectively assess the driver's ability to drive in terms of driver's age and the possibility of reducing the number of traffic accidents caused by the elderly.

The influence of hip mobility on the performance of a long-distance runner
Dubjáková, Kateřina ; Herbenová, Alena (advisor) ; Krchová, Zuzana (referee)
The main objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of hip mobility on the running performance of a long-distance runner, change in dynamic ROM of the hip joint in sagittal plane and running time of 5 km run. To compare the differences between experimental and control group. Methods: Participants in this study were long-distance runners divided into two groups (experimental and control). Both groups underwent baseline and outcome measurements including a kinematic analysis of the hip joint on a treadmill to assess the dynamic ROM in the sagittal plane and a measurement of running performance during a 5 km time trial. The experimental group underwent an intervention programme combining developmental kinesiology and yoga positions. All outcome data were first tested for normal distribution. Statistical significance level of 0.05 was chosen for all tests. The paired t-test was used to test the difference between the input/output values of the hip ROM and running times for each group. The unpaired two-sample Welch's t-test was used to test between-group differences in the hip ROM and running times. Results: The experimental group had increase in dynamic hip ROM (p<0.05) and decrease in running times (p<0.05) after the intervention programme. There was statistically significantly...

Influence of defferent kinds of running shoes on stability and risk of injury in long - distance runners
Krchová, Zuzana ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Doubková, Lucie (referee)
The main problems concerning birth of running injuries is their unclear ethiopathogenesis and high frequency. Injuries are often lined with forces affected on tread-down which have to be defused by running shoes. There are also opinions that currently used footwear can cause injuries on the contrary. This work explores impact of particular types of running shoes for influencing of stability. Methods: There are compared two groups of runners: minimalists and classic runners. Their stability is examined with help of posturography in three versions: barefoot, classic and minimalistic footwear. Thereafter there is analyzed relation among stability, used footwear, training usage and frequency of injuries. Results: Minimalists and classic runners have the same stability while they are barefoot. Usage of footwear does not cause significant deterioration of stability in any of groups. Nevertheless most of runners subjectively evaluate the variant of testing barefoot as the simplest. There is more frequent occurence of flat foot among classic runners in comparison with minimalists. Flat foot increases risk of formation injuries, on the contrary, regular compensation motion activity decreases this risk.

Running shoe as a possible cause of injuries in endurance runners . from the perspective of a physiotherapist
Krchová, Zuzana ; Smolíková, Libuše (advisor) ; Čakrt, Ondřej (referee)
This work collects knowledge on running shoes and its potential impact on injuries in endurance runners in the theoretical part. There is a sought link between the running-related injuries, usually used running shoes and foot-strike technique. Then there are described the most common running related injuries and kinesiology of running. The practical part includes a study in the form of a questionnaire, which was attended by 383 runners. This research presents the results of the effect of footwear on running mechanics and the formation of overuse injury in endurance runners. The data obtained demonstrate injury in 48% of runners in the last 2 years. The most common site of injury is the knee joint. Runners usually resolve these problems having a rest. Endurance runners who buy frequently new shoes are more injured than runners who run in older shoes. Rearfoot-striking is associated with knee- pain, but it is not a higher risk of injury.
