Dynamics of thorax in patients with COPD, its influence through POWERbreathe
Chmelařová, Anna ; Smolíková, Libuše (advisor) ; Babková, Lenka (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its influence on the musculoskeletal system, lung transplantation and pulmonary rehabilitation. It discusses the role of POWERbreathe, a breathing training device, which is primarily used to strengthen the inspiratory muscles. The practical part was performed as a randomized control pilot study to assess the effect of POWERbreathe on the strength of the inspiratory muscles, the thorax dynamics and selected pulmonary function. The aim of the study is to determine the benefits of using the POWERbreathe for COPD patients during the pre-transplant period. In total, 18 patients with COPD IV. grade participated in the study (6 women and 12 men) with an average age of 59.8 ± 5.53 years. Probands were divided into two groups, only one of which used a POWERbreathe. Pulmonary functions (FEV1, VCin, FVC, PIF), muscle strength (SIndex), and chest dynamics (chest disturbances in the mezosternal and xiphosternal region with maximum inspiration and exhalation and respiratory amplitudes in these areas) were evaluated. The results did not show a significant inter-group difference in the strength of the inspiratory muscles. Within pulmonary function, this difference was evident in the FEV1 parameter and the chest dynamics increased...

Evaluation of the functional activity of inspiratory muscles in patients with COPD
Konfrštová, Tereza ; Smolíková, Libuše (advisor) ; Babková, Lenka (referee)
The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes essential knowledge about COPD, inspiration function and its pathological changes in COPD patients. It also deals with appropriate ways to diagnose and measure the inspiratory activity. It further deals with the effect of the body position on the monitored respiratory functions, appropriate method of inspiratory muscle training as well as with utilization of an inspiratory device. It also deals with the relevance of patient adherence for COPD treatment. The aim of the practical part is to evaluate whether the functional activity of inspiratory muscles changes in different body positions (lying-sitting-standing). The measurements were performed using the Powerbreathe K5 device by assessing S-index, Pif and Volume levels in 21 COPD patients and 8 probands representing a control group. The obtained data were then statistically processed and analyzed. The initial hypothesis regarding a change in measured values in different body positions has not been proved to be statistically significant. The change in measured values relating to the change in the body position, however, did manifest in individual patients, testing of the appropriate body position should therefore not be omitted in assessing the appropriate IMT parameters. Keywords: COPD, inspirational...

Assessing inspiratory muscle strength in runners after 100-m and 3000-m running using POWERbreathe K5
Černá, Alžběta ; Smolíková, Libuše (advisor) ; Obešlo, Marek (referee)
Methodology: This study examined respiratory muscle strength in 25 runners using the POWERbreathe® K5 inspiratory muscle trainer before and after 100-m and 3000-m running. We watched the development of the resting values of SIndex and PIF and these values after the sprint (100 m) and running (3000 m, intensity of 70% of their HRmax). The probands were examined for resting spirometry and chest circuits (at maximum inspiration and expiration) in four levels. According to the respiratory amplitudes in the lower chest sector, the probands were divided into groups A (> 5.0 cm; n = 11) and B (<5.0 cm; n = 14). Results: After the 100-m sprint, the SIndex and PIF values have been increased for all probands. We noticed the difference between group A and B. A: SIndex increased by an average of 6,11%. PIF by 8,39 %, i.e. 0,35 l·s⁻¹. B: SIndex increased by an average of 9,33%. PIF by 11,82 %, i.e. 0,61 l·s⁻¹. After 3000-m running, the values of all probands have changed both in terms of increase (positive numbers) and decrease (negative numbers). The trend showed no regularity and the values ranged in positive and negative values independently of the respiratory amplitudes of the probands. The cause of these changes cannot be determined from the monitored parameters. The mean SIndex and PIF values of group A,...

Impact of inspiratory muscle training on the cardiopulmonary system of elite rowers.
Procházková, Sára ; Procházka, Michal (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee)
This thesis focuses on the physiological and biomechanical relation between rowing and function of the respiratory system. The theoretical part summarizes various possibilities of using the inspiratory muscle training, primarily on accessible information about its use during elite rowers preparation. The thesis contains three case studies of elite female rowers who followed the inspiratory muscle training according to Volianitis's et al. methodology from 2001. Changes in performance of simulated rowing race and in PImax were monitored. Despite the insufficient compliance of prescribed training, we see an improvement of the observed parameters.

Influence of POWERBREATHE on changes in respiratory parameters by swimmers
Janeček, Pavel ; Kovářová, Lenka (advisor) ; Chrzanowská, Babeta (referee)
Title: Influence of POWERBREATHE on changes in respiratory parameters by swimmers Objectives: The goal of bachelor thesis is what influence has Powerbreathe on changes in respiratory in swimmers. It will be also determined if a group of better- performing swimmers will achieve statistically better results from Powerbreathe. Last goal will be find out if training with Powerbreathe by instructions influence statistically improvement measure results. Method: Data were collected before start of research and after from Powerbreathe. Results are processed to charts and evaluate into software SPSS in statistics method pair T-test and non-paired T-test for two files. Results: In the analysis, we concluded that there are no statistically significant differences between the TOP swimmers and the REPRE swimmers when we were comparing the results of the values measured on the Powerbreathe. Furthermore, we did not find statistically significant differences when we were comparing the results of the values measured before and after the test. The results did not change even if we split the group into a group of performance better TOP swimmers and performance worse REPRE swimmers. Key words: Powerbreathe, breathing, swimming, performance

Influence of the breathing muscles using POWERbreathe.
Čapková, Alena ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Strnad, Pavel (referee)
Title: Influence of the breathing muscles using POWERbreathe. Objective: The main object of this thesis is to determine, if it is possible to use 3D kinematic analysis to measure changes of trunk shapes during quiet breathing and breathing when using POWERbreathe and if it is possible to identify the changes. The thesis is divided to two parts. The first part contains theoretical part, focused on issue of kinesiology and biomechanics of breathing. The special part is concentrated on research, where I find changes of trunk kinematics during application of POWERbreathe. Method: Measurements were made on 6 probands in the same age category (women), when each measurement was performed during quiet breathing, maximum inhale/exhale, resistive breathing when using POWERbreathe and then another quiet breathing and maximum inhale/exhale. Quiet breathing was chosen as benchmark. The experimental measurements was done during one day. The research was used 3D kinematic motion analysis using system Qualysis. Were observed changes in the shape of the trunk and possibly caused breath changes during using POWERbreathe. Results: Measurements has confirmed, that the system Qualysis is able to detect mobility and the trunk shape changes. At a certain threshold load device POWERbreathe prevailed movements cranial...
