This bachelor thesis concentrates on climbing activities of visual challenged, studies their abilities, perception of this activity and eventual limitation caused by this handicap. The goal of the thesis is to compare and evaluate abilities of visually impaired and non-handicapped climbers, recognize the impact of visual handicap on perception climbing activities and research, how much their abilities are influenced by this handicap. In my work on this topic I was helped by real handicapped climber as well as non-handicapped assistants, whose visual perception was temporarily restricted. In the theoretical part my thesis deals with general explanation of climbing activities and their development. It also concentrates on importance of visual perception, characteristic of sight damage and its influence on personality, movement and sport activities of people. The practical part is based mostly on experience of the visually handicapped climber during these climbing activities. Next I am focusing on abilities of non-sight handicapped climbers with temporarily limited visual perception. I am measuring the influence of temporary loss of sight on climbing performance and technique. In my work I describe practicing in different climbing skills due to sight loss and adaptation of the level of training...

Richterová, Markéta ; Strnad, Pavel (advisor) ; Malá, Lucia (referee)
Thesis title: The effect of kinesthetic sensation on the postural control and balance abilities of individuals with visual impairments Objectives: Compose through the literature study appropriete balance programe for the individuals with visual impairments and measure its effect on their postural control and balance abilities.

Sýkorová, Alžběta ; Vomáčko, Ladislav (advisor) ; Nováková, Lenka (referee)
Title: Climbing of visually impaired people and limits produced by their disability. Goals: To point out critical moments during climbing of visually impaired climbers and evaluate degree of influence of missing sight to the entire climbing activity. Methods: Technical literature researching, questionnaire investigation, data analysis and graphical presentation of results. Results: People with visual impairment are able to perform climbing activities with the same equipment and in the similar range as sighted climbers. Absence of visual perception primarily places higher physical demands on climber and virtually prevents him from bouldering. Keywords: climber, climbing activities, visually impaired, visual perception, handicap
