Laštiaková, Ema ; Jurák, Daniel (advisor) ; Hubená, Kristýna (referee)
Title: Comparative analysis of the swimming technique crawl Aim: The aim of this thesis is to perform a comparative analysis of the swimming technique crawl on a swimmer of younger school age. The comparison will focus on the different parts of the body that affect the efficiency of the movement. Another goal is to design and apply technical exercises to eliminate them based on the performed analysis and the detected errors and to perform an additional analysis of the correct technique. Methods: A comparison of the swimming technique crawl was performed for a proband of younger school age in the swimming pool in Tyrš's house. The swimming technique crawl was filmed from the left side under the surface, from the left side on the surface and then from the forehead on the surface. Subsequently, we analyzed the acquired data using Kinovea and the acquired footage was compared with the optimal model technique. Subsequently, we suggested suitable exercises to improve and correct the errors found. The filming took place in the beginning of 2022. After that, we performed the analysis of the obtained results. Results: The results of this work show that feedback to children through pictures, videos and verbal description has a significant positive effect on the change of crawl technique. Based on the...

Bibilographic identification MANDLÍK, Kryštof. Risks of uncompensated repetitive upper limb load for the musculoskeletal system of percussionists. Prague: Charles University, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Department of Rehabilitation and sports Medicine, 2021. Supervisor PhDr. Petr Bitnar. Abstract This thesis addresses the issue of musculoskeletal disorders in drummers. The aim of the thesis was to collect and classify the existing knowledge about performing arts medicine with a focus on musicians. Furthermore to gather and classify knowledge about aspects of playing drums and, last but not least, about the risk factors associated with this activity. This thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. In the theoretical part, a search was created on the basis of available Czech and foreign professional literature. Practical part consisted of an assessment of three probands playing drums and a follow-up therapy resulting from the assesment. The same assessment was performed after the therapy. In the final discussion, the possible causes of some changes and found phenomena were analyzed on the basis of a comparison of the input and output assessments. Keywords drummers, PRMD, performing arts medicine, upper extremities I agree the thesis paper to be lent within the library service.
Directional asymmetry of upper limb and back muscle activity during bow draw; implications for bioarcheology
Véle, Dominik ; Sládek, Vladimír (advisor) ; Galeta, Patrik (referee)
This theses explores muscle activity during bow draw. The goal of his study is to evaluate whether muscle activity corresponds with increase in mechanical robusticity of the left humerus found in mezolithic osteological material. Muscle activity is measured by the means of surface electromyography. We measure activity of arm and back muscles. Activity was measured on m. deltoideus, m. infraspinatus, m. biceps brachii, m. triceps brachii and m. latissimus dorsi. Muscle activity was measured on 20 male archers, during bow draw of three wooden long-bows. Results of this study support the idea that change in robusticity of the left humerus could be caused by frequent bow use in post-glacial Europe.
Analysis of the immediate effect of kinesiotaping on the upper limbs when falling into a handle in gymnastic aerobics
Vítková, Markéta ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Title: Analysis of the immediate effect of kinesiotaping on the upper limbs when landing into a press-up position when doing gymnastic aerobics Objectives: The aim of this diploma thesis is to find out if the use of the tape on the upper limbs changes the acceleration associated with the reaction inertial force of the arm, the angle in the elbow joint and wrist when landing into the press-up position, as well as subjective evaluation of probands. The hypothesis for the practical part is that the angles in the joints mentioned and the magnitude of the force with the applied tap change, which would result in better stabilization of the upper limbs in this element, as well as positive evaluation of the probands. Methods: The theoretical part deals with kinesiological-biomechanical description of upper limbs and the characteristics of gymnastic aerobics. Moreover, biomechanical analysis and kinesiotaping are described. The practical part is devoted to the measurement of landings into the press-up position  first without tape and then with tape. The tape is described in detail. The XSens MVN was used to record motion. Results: The results showed that kinesiotape had no effect on the angle of the elbow and wrist joints or shoulder joints when landing into the press-up position. However, a positive...

Vojta reflex locomotion impact to the locomotor system of the patients with spinal cord
Kohutová, Veronika ; Špaňhelová, Šárka (advisor) ; Hyšperská, Veronika (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the Vojta method therapy impact to the muscles function of the upper limbs of patients with tetraplegia. This is a pilot study, which was attended by five probands. To objectify the results, the method of surface electromyography was adopted. EMG activity of 14 muscles of the upper limbs and shoulder girdle during selected movements before and after therapy was recorded. The choice of therapeutic positions and activation zones was individual. Although a few muscles show significant changes, statistically considerable influence of the therapy cannot be confirmed from the obtained results. But from the point of view of clinical observation and patients 'subjective feelings an obvious difference can be seen. Therefore, it may be in the future advantageous to monitor the impact of Vojta method to locomotor system through clinical methods such as functional tests, tests of independence, range of motion or kinematic analysis.
