Mastné kyseliny se stredne dlhým reťazcom v športovej výžive
Styková, Veronika
Abstract The first part of this diploma thesis "Medium Chain Fatty Acids in Sports Nutrition" focuses on a literature research of topics regarding rational nutrition and its history, the importance of fats in nutrition, a more detailed review of fats in sports nutrition. It also describes the impact of medium-chain fatty acids (MCTs) on the human body and on performance in sport. The practical part of the work focused on the design of a suitable methodology for the determination of fatty acids and the analysis of available MCT-containing dietary supplements by using gas chromatography. Based on the measurement results, the fatty acid profile of the samples was evaluated, a statistical evaluation was performed and the measurement results were compared with the nutritional information of the products as labelled on the product packaging. The diploma thesis also included a questionnaire that was designed for a general audience in order to determine the knowledge of supplements and the popularity of dietary supplements containing MCTs. The aim of this thesis was to provide as comprehensive an overview as possible of medium chain fatty acids and their impact in sports nutrition by using a various information sources, and to determine whether respondents had an overview of MCTs based on the questionnaire and to conduct an analysis of fatty acids in MCT-containing products.

The Group Metacognitive Training for Adolescents with Anxiety
Migasová, Natalie ; Rynešová, Tereza (referee)
The rigorous thesis is focused on the translation, creation and subsequent use of metacognitive training (MCT) in adolescents with anxiety in group therapy. The theoretical part deals with adolescence, anxiety and with description of metacognitive training. It is supplemented by a rich representation of current research about the mental health of adolescents and the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy applied in various mental disorders. According to existing trainings, the program created by us is divided into 8 modules, with a fixed structure, held once a week. Each module focuses on a specific topic that concerns anxiety, and worksheets for each module are also used for training. Using a quasi-experiment, we measured the current level of anxiety in the pretest and posttest using standardized method STAI, and the overall self-concept measured with PHCSCS-2. We found subjective feeling of anxiety, depression, a tendency to self-harm and difficulty attending school. A total of 7 participants participated in the experimental group and 8 participants were in the control group. Five parents filled in the pretest and posttest feedback. The results of the research show a greater reduction in anxiety and an increase in self-concept in the experimental group compared to the control group. There was no...

Influence of airflow control with vocal cords on dynamic stand stabilization
Rybáčková, Kristýna ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Lopot, František (referee)
Title: The effect of airway control on stance dynamic stability Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to find out whether and how will the influence of vocal cords modulation be manifested on the dynamic stabilization of the standing body during translational shifts of the supporting surface of different intensities and A-P directions. Thus, building on the findings of Massery et al (2013). Methods: The thesis has the character of qualitative research. The experiment was attended by 23 healthy probands, of which 7 men and 16 women aged 20-40 years. Spirometry was used to test the objectivity of airway airflow during breathing / phoning maneuvers with different vocal cords positioning and dynamic computer posturography using the Neurocom Smart Equi Test System and its Motor Control Test, which evaluated the effectiveness of automatic postural responses. We connected the posturograph with the spirometer using the Kistler accelerometer (type 8766A100BB). The course of the experiment was simultaneously recorded by a camera (GoPro Hero 7). The Smart EquiTest System generated three postural perturbations of different intensity (S - sub treshold, M - threshold, L - saturating) in two directions (anterior translation / posterior translation). The measured data were then processed in the program Neurocom...

Evaluation of postural stability of athletes - a literature review
Vlasáková, Kristýna ; Vomáčková, Helena (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: Evaluation of postural stability of athletes - a literature review Objectives: Thesis will address retrieval processing rating Dynamic Postural Stability of athletes . Compares analysis or results of research or investigations of different laborers working with this theme. It also mentions tests and machines used in clinical practice. It also investigates in what sports was postural stability tested and how or with what results. The most advanced, currently the most recognized dynamic posturography with impartial value is EquiTest device from NeuroCom. Therefore, the practical part focuses primarily on the results of examination of this device and make statistics about that. Methods: The diploma thesis has descriptive and analytical character. It is elaborate as a literary review . Results: The study includes 142 studies, of which only 11 concern the assessment of postural stability of athletes. Sports disciplines include tennis, football, baseball, tai-chi, taekwondo, gymnastics, basketball, softball. Entire EquiTest testing battery (which contains 7 test in total - Sensory Organization Test, Motor Coordination and Control Test, Adaptation Test, Unilateral Stance Test, Limits Of Stability Test, Rhytmics Weight Shift, Weight Bearing Squat) is almost never used in assessments although it's a...
