Corrective exercises for injury prevention in ice hockey players
Steklík, Aleš ; Šteffl, Michal (advisor) ; Novák, Dominik (referee)
Title: Compensatory exercises as one of the possible tools for injury prevention in ice hockey players Objectives: The aim of this thesis was primarily to identify and describe the most common injuries occurring in ice hockey players based on professional articles and available literature. Subsequently, the work was aimed at creating a stack of compensatory exercises (relaxation, strengthening, stretching) that could lead to a reduction in the risk of injuries. Methodology: The work was based on an empirical character. The findings from the literature were used. On the basis of the literature, consultations with physiotherapists and own experience, compensatory exercises were designed, which focused on the prevention of injuries in ice hockey players or on the elimination of imbalances or on exercises typical for the development of ice hockey players. Conclusion: Based on the literature and articles, it has been found that the most common injuries in ice hockey players are due to overload and contact with an opponent. Ice hockey players spend most of their time on the ice during games or training or spend time on conditioning. However, they forget about compensatory exercises. As a result, muscle imbalances occur due to unilateral loading and this causes many negative changes in the musculoskeletal...

Beran, Václav ; Jebavý, Radim (advisor) ; Vojta, Zdeněk (referee)
Title: Unilateral loading diagnosis in ice hockey Objectives: The primary objective of this work is to determine if junior field hockey players exhibit characteristic muscular imbalances in areas at high risk for unilateral loading. Sub-objective #1. Conduct a series of physiological tests (Patrick test, Thomas test, pectoralis muscle shortening test, ankle flexibility test, and left and right knee internal and external rotation tests) on junior field hockey players from four different teams to identify potential areas at high risk for unilateral loading. Sub-objective #2. Conduct a statistical analysis of the data collected to determine if there is a statistically significant unilateral strain in any of the areas tested and if there are significant differences between teams. Methods: In our study, the physical condition of the players was assessed using a modern Tanita scale and diagnostic exercise tests. Statistical methods such as t-tests, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, Wilcoxon test, and principal component analysis were used for data analysis. We also used Fisher's exact test and chi- square test to evaluate differences in frequency. A post-hoc test was then performed - Tukey's HSD test. Results: Our study identified statistically significant instances of unilateral load among hockey players...

The design of compensatory exercises for kitesurfing
Kerzel, Jan ; Kinkorová, Ivana (advisor) ; Kramperová, Veronika (referee)
Title: Design of compensatory exercises for kitesurfing Objectives: The aim of the bachelor thesis is to briefly characterize kitesurfing as a sport, to describe its possible influence on the musculoskeletal system and to create a set of compensatory exercises with and without the use of equipment, including several compensatory programs. Methods: The work was based on the collection and analysis of available information obtained from literature and internet sources. The basis for the selection of the proposed compensatory exercises was professional literature and articles focused on the elimination of muscle imbalances and injury prevention. The design of short compensatory programs was also based on own experience gained during kitesurfing. Results: Based on the available information from literature and articles, it was found that the most common injuries are to the lower limbs, especially the knee and ankle joints, as a result of problems during landing, manoeuvre or jump. Overuse areas include the lumbar spine, abdominal muscles and thighs. Problems related to the safety system, inability to relax and shallow water, which is risky on impact, are usually cited as the cause of trauma and accidents. Keywords: kitesurfing, muscle imbalance, injury, compensatory exercise

Possibilities of influencing muscle imbalances in canoeists through physiotherapy
HAVRLANTOVÁ, Marie
This bachelor's thesis deals with muscle imbalances in canoeists and possibilities of their influence through physiotherapy. Canoeing, specifically whitewater kayaking, is a power-endurance water sport, whose goal is to pass across the river stretch as soon as possible. This sport puts high demands on the shoulder muscles and the trunk, on which different muscle imbalances arise, that are impaired by inappropriate compensatory exercise and poor stretching and can lead to injury. The aim of this thesis is to find out, what muscle imbalances and postural disorders occur in canoeists (whitewater kayakers) and how can one influence these problems with physiotherapy. The first (theoretical) part describes the general knowledge about canoeing - history, characteristics and the kinesiology of the paddling movement. Furthermore, sports training, muscle imbalances and sport medicine are generally described there. The second (practical) part describes the physiotherapeutical methods used in this study. It also contains the results of the research itself, which was processed in the form of case studies. Each case study comprises of anamnesis, initial kinesiological examination, the course of the individual therapies, final kinesiological examination and the final evaluation of therapy. The research lasted in the lenght of 8 therapies. The research showed, that the most common muscle imbalances in whitewater kayakers are: weakening of the deep stabilization system, upper cross syndrome and shortening of the hip flexors. With these imbalances are associated postural disorders in the form of increased lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis, shoulder protraction and forwarded head posture. This thesis can be used in the practice of physiotherapy, sports coaches or as an educational material for a specific group of sportsman.

Možnosti kompenzačního cvičení pro mladé hráče softballu do 20 let
ABBRENTOVÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis "Possibilities of compensatory exercises for young softball players under the age of 20" scrutinises the most common muscle imbalances deals with softball players and and how they can be dealt with through compensatory exercises. Athletes are often subject to high demands and excellent performance and results. For this reason, they often do only unilateral sports and have other exersises. However, long-term unilateral burden without proper compensation has detrimental effect on the individual's musculoskeletal system. One of the many examples of asymmetric load is softball. The first goal of this bachelor thesis was to map the most common muscle imbalances occurring in young softball players. The second goal was to create an educational brochure containing compensatory exercises. The bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical characterizes softball, overloaded structures and the most common injuries. Furthermore, it maps the possibilities of compensatory exercises. The practical part took place in the form of qualitative research and includes case studies of four softball players under the age of 20. Compensatory exercises were compiled on the basis of anamnesis and kinesiological analysis. The foundation of the exercise unit was very similar very similar, some exercises were added individually according to the needs of the proband. After 2-3 months of regular exercise, the results were evaluated using a kinesiological analysis that included the same tests as at the beginning. Subsequently, the results were compared and the effect of therapy was evaluated. This thesis can serve as a source of information on the most common functional problems that young softball players usually encounter. Furthermore, it can also serve as an educational material for softball players and coaches.

Možnost fyzioterapie u funkčních poruch pohybového aparátu ragbistů
MARTINIAK, Martin
My bachelor's thesis deals with the subject of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system in a selected group of rugby players and the ensuing options to alleviate or eliminate these disorders, especially using compensatory exercises. The first goal of the bachelor's thesis is to identify which muscle imbalances and musculoskeletal disorders occur in rugby players, while the second goal was to suggest compensatory exercises for these muscle imbalances in the selected group of players. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part I describe rugby, the rules of rugby and the workload of players during a match. Then I describe the issues of functional disorders and muscle imbalances, followed by the role of physiotherapy in rugby, where I discuss the most common injuries, selected examination and therapeutic methods and compensatory exercises. The practical part is based on qualitative research of three players of the RLC Orli Havlíčkův Brod team. The research started with medical history and initial kinesiological analysis consisting of various examinations to identify shortened and weakened muscles and to detect general movement insufficiency; I summarized the results of the investigation in case reports. On the basis of these examinations I designed compensatory exercises to alleviate or eliminate these problems. The subjects went through the designed exercise module under my supervision once a week for three months - before and after each rugby practice, which they had twice a week. They were also given the option of voluntary individual exercise at home. The results of this thesis show that rugby generates certain muscle imbalances that affect most players, especially in the lower half of the body where functional disorders are the greatest. My objective was to educate players as well as coaches in the subject of muscle imbalance. This thesis could serve as a reference and educational material providing orientation in this area both for professionals and the general public.

The influence of compensation exercises on muscle imbalances of amateur football players
STOKLASA, Lukáš
This bachelor thesis deals with problems of muscle imbalance in football players, who has been playing their sport at an amateur level. It deals with the use of compensatory exercises for influencing the muscle imbalance. The first aim of the work is to assess the influence of compensatory exercises on muscle imbalances in individual probands according to obtained data. The second aim is a comparison of compensatory exercises in different age groups. At first, there is a chapter in the theoretical part on football and the most common types of movements, which occur when playing. Chapters on muscle tissue and muscle imbalances follow. Furthermore, there are individual clinical syndromes, as per professor V. Janda, described. The conclusion of the theoretical part consists of different types of compensatory exercises. The practical part is processed in form of qualitative research. The research group consists of five football players of FK Olympie Týn and Vltavou. Two players come under the category of C-juniors, remaining three players play for the A-team. The work contains five case studies consisting of initial and final examination. Each examination consists of taking an anamnesis, standing examination, examination of shortened muscles complemented with trigonometrical examination and examination of movement stereotype. Based on the results from the case studies, an individual exercise unit was formed for each proband. I believe that this bachelor thesis can serve as a source of information for the students of physiotherapy and for non-professional public. It should than be used mainly for players and coaches of performance football.

Physiotherapy as a part of the complex training of younger school aged figure skaters
SLIPKOVÁ, Lenka
The bachelor thesis dedicates to figure skating and inclusion of physiotherapy into comprehensive training of younger school figure skaters. Figure skating is often considered as a sports discipline combining physical fitness and artistic elements. Due to early specialization, general physical fitness is often neglected and high demands are placed on young figure skaters. Physiotherapy protects athletes from unwanted injuries or pathologies. The first part of this bachelor thesis deals with theoretical knowledge about the history, division of competitions and equipment. The second part of the theoretical part includes the risks of this sport and the most important figure-skaters´ muscle groups. Most of the thesis consists of a qualitative research that includes selected methods and procedures into the comprehensive training of school-age figure skaters and evaluates their effectiveness. The practical part contains initial examination and exit examination, exercise unit and comparison of results. The results of the case study show that physiotherapeutic methods and procedures are effective for figure skaters and they should be included in the comprehensive training. This thesis can be an inspiration particularly for sports physiotherapists in figure skating, and it can also serve as an educational material for autotherapy.
