Kopecký, David ; Hráský, Pavel (advisor) ; Kaplan, Aleš (referee)
Title: The effect of the compensation program on the reduction of muscle imbalances for football players U17 and U19 Objectives: The objective of this study is to design and test the effect of a set of compensatory exercises for U17 and U19 soccer players that will lead to a reduction in muscle imbalances. Methods: The theoretical part used content analysis of documents and other scientific publications discussing muscle imbalances in football players. In the practical part, an entrance diagnosis was performed to detect muscle imbalances. In the practical part of the study 38 players (boys) of the U17 and U19 category of the MFK Chrudim football club were included. Both categories (U17 and U19) were divided into two groups, the intervention group and the control group. The probands were tested with a standardized protocol according to the muscle test according to Janda (2004). The rating scales were also taken from these tests. Furthermore, the testing was completed with tests according to Kolar (2009), focusing on the deep stabilization system (diaphragm test, intra-abdominal pressure test) and joint mobility of the lower limbs in the form of a deep squat test. Other tests used were the Thomayer test, deep- seated forward bending according to the test battery: the Unifittest (6-60), and an...

Možnosti kompenzace svalových dysbalancí způsobených jízdou na koni u hobby jezdců
VYDLÁKOVÁ, Klára
This bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of influencing muscle imbalances occurring in hobby horse riders. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to summarize and describe the most common muscle imbalances that occur in horse riders and also to suggest possible influences on these imbalances. These two objectives were achieved in the theoretical part of the bachelor thesis. The third and fourth objectives were to design a suitable exercise unit and also to evaluate its effect. This objective is already related to the practical part of this bachelor thesis, the actual research. The thesis is divided into two parts, the theoretical part and the practical research. The theoretical part summarizes the knowledge about muscle imbalances, the riding seat, its errors and compensatory exercises. The practical part is devoted to the description of the research that was conducted. It also includes the actual exercise unit constructed from the described methods. The research itself was conducted in the form of qualitative research and involved a total of 4 probands. All of these probands signed an informed consent to undertake the research, which is available for inspection by the author of this thesis, as well as the consent of the riding club in which the probands ride. The research begins with a questionnaire and baseline examination to help determine the muscular imbalances that are present in the riders. Based on these examinations, an appropriate exercise unit was then designed and its effect was further monitored. Two exercise units were actually designed. The main exercise unit was designed for home-based exercise, which probands performed at least 4 times a week. The secondary exercise unit was aimed directly at the pre- and post-riding periods. The designed exercise unit consisted of a total of 12 exercises that focused primarily on activating the HSSP, stretching shortened muscles, and strengthening weakened muscles. The research lasted for two months, during which time the probands underwent a total of 4 exercise unit checks. The conclusion of the thesis and the discussion summarises all the findings that have been identified through this undergraduate research. The thesis can be useful as a source of information for all hobby riders and physiotherapists who encounter this issue.

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.

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.

Muscle imbalance and its compensation in sporting paraplegics
ŠVEJDOVÁ, Karolína
The bachelor thesis deals with compensation of muscle imbalance in paraplegic athletes. In its theoretical part I deal with the basic anatomy of the spine and spinal chord, types of spinal chord injuries and complications in patients struggling with the results of spinal chord injuries. Further, the chapters are devoted to the options of sport activities in paraplegic patients, the choice of a correct wheelchair, and to the explanation of types of muscle imbalance and their compensational exercises. The main objective of my bachelor thesis is to find out about muscle imbalance in 3 paraplegics doing sports, to examine and create an individual compensatory plan for individual athletes that contains exercising with a therapist, but also an autotherapeutic exercise. It is a qualitative research where a part of the research group consists of 3 probands that are active athletes in a wheelchair. Each case study consists of an initial examination followed by 8 therapy sessions focused on individual muscle imbalance in each athlete. A final examination serves as the result of the case study. Based on the practical part results a positive effect is visible, when, after finishing the individual compensatory plan, in 2 probands reached a significant improvement. The last proband could not participate in the research due to the COVID 19 situation. This thesis can be used as educational material for physiotherapists, expert public or even general public interested in this issue

Possibilities of physiotherapy at lumbar spine pain at the people with sedentary employment.
ŠIMKOVÁ, Vendula
This bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of physiotherapy for people with sedentary jobs who suffer with pain in lumbar spine region. The lumbar spine region is one of the most loaded part of the spine, because there is a transfer of movement from lower limbs to the torso. The sedentary lifestyle and lack of the movement are very serious problems which affect the modern society and bring many potential risks, which have on the human body. The aim of this work was to describe the negative factors causing lumbar spine pain during sedentary work, to define shortened and weakened muscle groups related to lumbar spine pain and to create an exercise session which will relieve the low back pain in sedentary work. The practical part was performed in the form of qualitative research. The research group consisted of 4 people with sedentary jobs, who also have pain in the lumbar spine area. At the first visit, I acquainted the probands with the schedule and content of therapy and then I took an anamnesis and performed an initial kinesiological analysis. The exercise session was consisted of drills to activate the correct breathing pattern, movements from deep stabilization system, exercises from dynamic neuromuscular stabilization, the Moses method, the McKenzie method and relaxation techniques. The therapy was performed for 3 months. At the end I processed a final kinesiological analysis. The results of the research showed that the biggest changes occurred in the testing of shortened muscles, especially the flexors of the hip joint, and the pain in the lumbar spine was relieved.
