The bachelor thesis deals with kinesiotherapy in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and subsequent preparation for birth. Pregnancy is a physiological state when the body nourishes two organisms. Because of the baby nourishment pregnancy is certain strain for pregnant woman?s organism. Kinesiotherapy at the final stage of pregnancy is very important. The theoretical part describes physiological changes in female organism during pregnancy. Changes particularly occur in the respiratory system, circulatory system, musculoskeletal system and in body weight. From physiotherapeutic point of view particularly the changes in the postural system and selected muscles are described. Sudden weight growth affects the overall body posture and the structure of pregnant woman?s foot arch. The theoretical part also describes physiological birth, its phases and their length. The last chapter of the thesis theoretical part focuses on the most frequently applied kinesiotherapy methods. These are Ludmila Mojzisová method, Pilates method and gravidyoga. Outline of further kinesiotherapy methods then follows. The bachelor thesis has two aims and one research question set. The first aim is to introduce motion therapy among women in the 3rd semester of pregnancy. The second aim is to prepare pregnant women for the birth by means of kinesiotherapy. The research question deals with finding whether kinesiotherapy has positive influence on the birth progress. Quantitative research method in the form of elaboration of case studies from three respondents was applied to meeting the goals in the practical part. The respondents attended pregnancy exercise and birth preparation classes. Case history was taken from of each pregnant woman to get the necessary data. The interview included information on accidents, operations, painful states, sport activities both before and during pregnancy. Static and dynamic check-up of aspections was then performed. The static check-up focused on overall body posture in back, side, and front views and was documented. The dynamic check-up monitored backbone development and hypermobility test. The practical part then describes individual therapies. An individual kinesiotherapeutic plan is described for all three respondents. The practical part is concluded in an output kinesiological analysis several days after the birth. The output examination also includes an interview on the birth progress and mental state of the respondents. The research confirmed that kinesiotherapy was beneficial for pregnant respondents in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. The locomotor system problems caused by pregnancy changes in female organism were reduced or eliminated. The clients describe mental well-being during motion activities as well as between the visits. Birth preparation in the form of breathing in the individual birth phases and training of relief position was included into the therapy near the end of pregnancy. The women used the relief position on the big ball in the first birth period and as well as breathing specific for the individual birth phases. The research did not confirm whether kinesiotherapy influences the birth progress. Two of the three respondents delivered without significant complications. The delivery of the woman No. 1 was on the due date. The woman No. 3 delivered less than 3 weeks before the due date. The delivery was without serious complications in both the women. However there were complications in the respondent No. 3 caused by wrong position of the child. Caesarean section in epidural anaesthesia followed. The woman had no problems after the anaesthesia and was transported to the postpartum ward the next day after the intervention.
