Selected characteristics of the mobility in women (age category 60,0-69,9 y.)
ŤOUPALOVÁ, Lenka
The aim of the thesis is to assess and to compare the selected physical characteristics in the group of thirty women of the gardening association (60,00-69,99 y.). The measurement was repeated (November 2019 and March 2020) due to a pandemic in only 17 of them. The measured characteristics were body height, body weight, circumference characteristics (circumference of right arm, hips and abdomen), skin folds (the skin fold over the biceps, the skin fold over the triceps, the subscapulare skin fold and the suprailiacal skin fold), spin mobility tests (Stibor´s symptom, Otto´s symptom, Cepoj´s sympton, Schober´s symptom, modified Thomayer´s symptom, the Scarf Test and the Lateroflexe Test). The Body Mass Index (BMI) and the sum of all four skin folds were calculated. There was also the evaluation of the footprint, The Life Satisfaction Questionnaire in the field "The Health" and "The Leisure" (Fahrenberg et al., 2001) and the questions of the supplementary questionnaire. The comparison of the average results of the November and March measurements of our group showed statistically highly significant difference (p = 0,000**) of body weight and BMI by the Student's test (t-test). The March values were significantly higher. The results of the Wilcoxon test were statistically significant for the average results of spine mobility test - Stibor´s symptom. In the November measurement, there was greater elongation of the spine in the forward bend (p = 0,030*). The research part of the thesis includes the results of the tightness of the relationship between BMI values and other data. It was found, that BMI values are not related to spine mobility tests (p > 0,05). It was the most interesting result of this part of relationships. In contrast, the results of the relationship between BMI and the rate of back pain show a correlation between these data (p = 0,049*). The average values of our group were compared with the results of the research from Olomouc (Riegerová, 2010). In this comparison, the higher average values of body weight and BMI of our group were evaluated as statistically highly significant (p < 0,01). The average values of body weight, BMI and abdominal circumference of our group were compared with the results of the research by Toman Hrušková (2018). These results were evaluated as statistically highly significant too (p < 0,01).

Selected Characteristics of the Mobility for Professional Firefighters
RYCHTÁŘOVÁ, Veronika
The aim of the thesis is to assess the mobility of the spine, the condition of flat foot and basic anthropological characteristics of professional firefighters. The measurements also included basic somatic features such as body height, body weight, skin folds, circumferential and width measures. The body mass index was calculated using body weight and body height figures. As part of the measurements, professional firefighters were subjected to spinal mobility tests (Stibor's symptom, modified Thomayer´s symptom, Otto´s symptom, Cepoj´s symptom, Schober´s symptom, lateroflex test) using a tape measure, a non-invasive standard test. A foot print on colored paper was used to assess the condition of the flat foot. Using the Chippaux-Smirak index, the value of the foot condition was generated. The results of the basic somatic features of the professional firefighters unit and the Czechoslovak Spartakiad 1985 reference unit differ greatly in favour of our ensemble. Statistically important differences in values were not made out in the body mass index. From the functional symptoms of the spine, according to the literature, the standard values included the average values of Stibor's forward bend and Schober's symptom. It was interesting to compare the components of the somatotype of our fire unit with the unit of bodyguards of the Police of the Czech Republic, where the differences in the average values of the endomorphic and mesomorphic components were evaluated as statistically high in favour of the bodyguards of the Police of the Czech Republic. The largest percentage of professional firefighters and bodyguards of the Police of the Czech Republic were among the category of somatotype - endomorphic mesomorph.

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...
