Use of developmental kinesiology elements in the prevention of spinal injuries
KAMÍROVÁ, Barbora
My bachelor thesis deals with the application of elements of developmental kinesiology in the prevention of vertebral disorders. The theoretical part of my bachelor thesis contains a description of the back anatomy and the most common vertebral disorders which can be prevented by therapy. The next chapters focus on the core system and developmental kinesiology, where the single phases of delevopment are described in detail. These phases result in exercises that are then used in a set of exercises. The last chapter of the theoretical part describes methods on neurophysiologycal basis often used in the therapy of vertebral disorders. They include DNS concept, Vojta therapy, Roswitha Brunkow therapy and ACT method. The practical part includes a set of exercises created on the basis of position in developmental kinesiology and uses knowledge from the theoretical part. To evaluate the effectivity of this set of exercises the thesis contains 4 case studies. A research file was created with three woman and one man aged from 20 to 27 years, all of them active sports people. For four months they practised the set of exercices twice a week at home and once a month they visited the individual therapy to control the quality of exercising. The following methods were used for collecting data during my research: kinesiology analysis focused on anamnesis, check-up by sight and functional tests for which I used dynamical tests for spine and core tests from Kolář. Testing at the beginning and at the end of the therapy was identical. To evaluate the effect of the set of exercises I used a semi-structural interview where I focused on the subjective feeling from the therapy and to get an answer to the research question, which was to find out which exercise is the most effective in the participants´ opinion. The results of the therapy show an obvious positive effect of the set of exercises, based on positions from developmental kinesiology, on the function of the movement system. The participants feel a subjective improvement of posture and in all cases there were obvious positive changes, especially in testing of core system. Evaluated as the most effective exercise was number 1 - position of a three-month-old baby lying on its back and modifications of this exercise with use of dynamical movement of limbs.

Rothová, Tereza ; Stupková, Michaela (advisor) ; Malá, Jitka (referee)
Title of the thesis: Evaluation of postural stability and function of deep stabilization system of the spine in dancers Author: Bc. Tereza Rothová Head of the thesis: Mgr. Michaela Stupková Year of defense: 2020 Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to assess static and dynamic postural stability and function of deep stabilization system of the spine in modern dancers and to compare the results with general population that does not perform any regular physical activity. Next to analyse the relations between postural stability and function of deep stabilization system of the spine in both groups. Method: This study is designed as observational comparative pilot study which included 16 modern dancers in experimental group and 11 women who do not perform any regular physical activity in control group. To evaluate the function of deep stabilization system of the spine a battery of seven tests by Kolář was created and used. Five basic testing protocols of NeuroCom Smart EquiTest, a computerized dynamic posturography device, were used to measure postural stability. Data from EquiTest were processed in NeuroCom Balance Manager software. All results were statistically analysed using Microsoft Office Excel 2016. Data were compared between groups and a correlation between postural stability and function of...

Prevention of development of functional vertebragenous disorders among powerlifter community
ČERNOTA, Pavel
This bachelor's thesis deals with the options of prevention of development of functional vertebragenous disorders among the powerliftting community. The main purpose of this thesis was to propose a model of a therapy focusing on prevention of development of functional vertebragenous disorders, that remain one of the most common form of injury among powerlifters. Another purpose of this thesis was to examine the efficiency of this therapy by comparing the results gathered during the preand post-therapy assessment. The theoretical part of this thesis deals with spinal anatomy and mechanics. It also discusses the formation of functional disorders, the concept of the potential of the functional capacity, and compares the importance of mobility and stability. The empirical part of my work uses the qualitative research method. Three different subjects were examined and based on the initial assessment, a 4-week-long individual therapy was recommended. The therapy used the concepts from kinesiotherapy and some elements of the manual medicine. The therapy was successful in improving the function of the deep stabilisation spine system and joint mobility. However, the thesis couldn't provide evidence, whether the therapy had positive effect for prevention of the development of functional vertebragenous disorders.

Influence of pilates method on the stabilizing system of the spine
Šašková, Vlasta ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Hošková, Blanka (referee)
Title: Influence of pilates method on the stabilizing system of the spine Objectives: The main aim of this diploma thesis was to confirm or refute the claim that a six-week motion program using the pilates method positively affects the stabilizing system of the spine. The partial aims of the work were to determine whether the a six-week motion program using the pilates method had a positive effect on the posture, spinal mobility, shortened muscles and standing stabilization. Methods: As a method of research, a case study was selected involving two adult persons (males). The motion program was preceded by an initial examination. In particular, static examination of the standing position, dynamic examination of standing position (flexion, extension, lateroflexion), examination of stabilization (Véle test, stand on 1 LL, standing on 2 scales), examinations of spinal distances (Schober's, Otto's and Čepojev's distance, lateroflexion), goniometry of rotation of thoracic and lumbar spine, examination of shortened muscles according to Janda (hip flexors, knee flexors, pectoralis major and minor, m.trapezius and paravertebral muscles) examination of postural stabilization by Kolář (extension test, trunk flexion test, diaphragm test, hip flexion test). Participants then underwent a six-week motion program...

Influence of the function of the deep stabilization system of the spine on the accuracy and speed of shooting in the field hockey players
Filová, Jitka ; Satrapová, Lenka (advisor) ; Reckziegelová, Petra (referee)
Title: Influence of the function of the deep stabilization system of the spine on the accuracy and speed of shooting in the field hockey players Objectives: The main aim of the work was to clarify the effect of exercise aimed at improving the stabilization function of the spine on the accuracy and speed of the shot at field hockey. Another parcial goel was to improve the spinal stabilization function after the interventional program. Methods: The theoretical part is processed in the form of the research. In the practical part an experimental study is containing a sample of 13 probands aged 18-35, male, was created to obtain the data. In the initial measurement, the accuracy of the shooting and the speed of the shooting was measured using the Stalker Pro II radar. Stabilization function of the spine was tested using a test battery, assembled for the purpose of this work. Probands have performed the intervention program for 4 months, twice a week, under professional supervision. Then there was a control measurement. In conclusion, the initial and final results were compared. For processing the data was used a spreadsheet Microsoft Excel 2010. The results were then processed into tables. Results: In the final measurement, all probands were able to improve the spinal stabilization function. The...

The Turkish Get-Up in terms of developmental kinesiology
Růžička, Tomáš ; Stupková, Michaela (advisor) ; Nováková, Tereza (referee)
Title: The Turkish Get-Up with a kettlebell from the point of view of developmental kinesiology Objectives: In the last couple of years the TGU has again entered the consciousness of the sporting public not just in the Czech Republic. Despite this there do not exist many studies that evaluate the effects of this exercise. It is a complex exercise, similar to the development line, during which one ascends from a lying down on the ground to a stan- ding position while holding a weight. This is why I chose tests for DSS. Postural muscle function develops vigorously during the first year of life. This is why the tests chosen are ones that evaluate the quality of the manner of connection and evaluate the function of the muscle during stabilization. The objective of this thesis is to confirm or overturn the statement that the TGU (Turkish Get-Up) positively affects the deep stabilizing system (DSS). The evaluation of data acquired will therefore provide the conclusion, whether the exercising of the TGU has a positive effect on the DSS. Methods: 8 people (4 women and 4 men) between the ages of 22-32 years participated in the stu- dy. They participated in a 6 week programme, exercising the TGU twice a week, 10 repetitions per exercise unit. Women used a kettlebell of 4 kg weight, men used a kettle- bell of...
