Physiotherapy options for children with obesity
MARTINCOVÁ, Petra
This bachelor thesis focuses on the physiotherapy of obese children. It is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part includes information about obesity, its influence on health, its diagnosis as well as etiopathogenesis, and its prevention and treatment. This part deals with obesity within the epidemic context of the 21st century, as it is predominantly called in the world. Moreover, the theoretical part discusses the financial costs that are necessary for treatment, it also opens the topic of stigmatization and normalization of obesity or shows the relation of childhood obesity with Covid-19. The theory presents us with a way to approach physiotherapy. Furthermore, we will learn about the motivation of the children, the natural age relations, kinesiotherapy for obese children, and about possible physical activities suitable for obese children. Part of the practical part is research in which I was regularly exercising with a group of obese children aged 6-11 and giving them physical homework. Then, these results were qualitatively gathered and processed based on kinesiological analyses and both entry and concluding questionnaires. This thesis aimed to optimize the children's locomotor apparatus, improve children's relationship with movement, and inform both parents and children about childhood obesity and its impact on health in adulthood. This thesis describes the importance of motivating children to do physical activities, the possibilities of physiotherapeutic interventions, and lists of suitable exercises for an obese individual. For the educative part, this bachelor thesis includes a handbook for children and their parents about childhood obesity, its risks, and possible solutions as well as an exercise unit with the description of individual exercises. This thesis can be beneficial for anyone interested in the topic of childhood obesity as well as physiotherapists, for example, serving as an inspiration for working with obese children.

Education By A Nurse In The Primary Care Of Patients Suffering From Chronic Diseases
JUNGOVÁ, Viktorie
This bachelor thesis deals with nurse education in the primary care of patients suffering from chronic diseases, specifically diabetes mellitus, hypertension and obesity in paediatric patients. The thesis consists of two parts, a theoretical and an empirical. The theoretical part first focuses on education, basic concepts, the process of education, design and preparation for education, implementation and evaluation. It also deals with primary care, its goals and scope, and finally education for diabetes mellitus, hypertension and obesity in paediatric patients. The empirical part has been carried out in the form of qualitative research through interviews with nurses from GPs for adults and GPs for children and adolescents. The aim was to find out how nurses in primary care actually educate patients with selected chronic diseases. The interviews have been conducted according to pre-prepared questions in which the nurses participated. The research group consisted of five nurses from a general practitioner's office for adults and five nurses from a general practitioner for children and adolescents. The results of the research survey have been categorized into seven categories. The result of the research survey points out that education is most often carried outintheform of a short interview, recommendations and subsequent publication of information leaflets. The nurses cannot rely on whether these leaflets are effective and patients really take them home and study them. The results of the thesis can serve as an aid for orientation in the education of patients with chronic diseases. They can be beneficial to nurses in primary care and can also serve as information material for the public.

Skřivanová, Eliška ; Kytnarová, Jitka (advisor) ; Weidenthalerová, Edita (referee)
Currently childhood obesity has reached epidemiological levels and can be considered one of the world's biggest problems. The probability of an obese child becoming an obese adult is dangerously high. These children are also more likely to develop health risks. The mechanism of development of obesity is conditioned by a number of factors. These are most often genetic factors, whilst their environment also plays a large role. In this case the influence of the family and the preferred lifestyle, which plays a significant part in the development of obesity, may be a factor. Early treatment and detection is important to prevent future issues with weight and serious health risks. However in order for obesity to be treated, it must first be diagnosed, the so-called diagnosis of childhood obesity. School meals in Czech Republic are considered to be one of the most advanced in Europe. It is not about providing a sufficiently strict diet, it also pays attention to variety, balance of dishes and dining culture. School meals must comply with the legislation, comply with financial limits and follow nutritional standards, respectively a consumer basket that sets out the required quantity of ten food commodities per pupil a day and these have to be adhered to within one month. The environment of prevention...
