Cardiorespiratory fitness in professional pole dancers
Trnková, Jiřina ; Herdová, Barbora (advisor) ; Pokorný, Jan (referee)
This thesis is devoted to cardiorespiratory fitness in professional pole dancers. The theoretical part describes the specifics of pole dance exercise and its effect on human body. The thesis further contains the introduction to exercise physiology and diagnostics. Methods: 8 performance female pole dancers competing in professional/elite category took part in the study. All probands completed two exercise tests - a laboratory and a field exercise test. Probands' cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed in a laboratory maximal exercise test. In field exercise test we investigated the exercise intensity in a simulated pole sport competition. Exercise variables were monitored in both tests using a portable metabolic analyzer VO2 Master Pro. Results: The average values during maximal spiroergometry test were VO2peak 46,1 ml/min/kg a Wpeak 3,7 W/kg. Probands' cardiorespiratory fitness was above average ( 0,03 < p < 0,04). The average pole dance performance intensity was 89 % TFmax (158 bpm) and 79 % VO2peak (36,2 ml/min/kg), the peak values were 96 % TFmax (178 bpm) and 110 % VO2peak (50,6 ml/min/kg). More than a half of the pole dance performance was performed above the intesity of anaerobic threshold (p = 0.019). Conclusions: Performance pole dancers are more fit than the average population (VO2peak is...

The Value of "Priessnitz Walking" as older adult exercise: issues of safety, adherence to the regimen, and fitness maintenance
Komínová, Olga ; Bitnar, Petr (advisor) ; Slabý, Kryštof (referee)
This diploma thesis presents a new form of outdoor activity called Priessnitz Walking, which means a connection of nordic walking, cooling limbs in a cold water and a yoga breathing exercises. A physiological grounds of each of its parts has been explained in the theoretical part of the thesis as well as its benefits for older people. Next to this, the thesis concerns about a physiology of aging and the importance of regular physical activity in later life. Our clinical experiment investigated an effect of PW during six-week training programe in older women attending Cardio Club Motol. A significant change in cardiorespiratory function and a positive subjective evaluation of the participates has been shown. Besides, we have found Priessnitz walking to be a save kind of endurance training for older people. A long-term adherance, which we also focused on, was not confirmed.

Evaluation of cardiorespiratory capacity of sportsmen and obese patients measured by spiroergometry (Oxycon)
Kieu Thi, Thanh Hai ; Vilikus, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Nguyen, Hong Vu (referee)
The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the cardiorespiratory fitness of sportsmen and obese patients through the medium of spiroergometry on cycloergometer by virtue of the analyzer of exhaled gas (Oxycon). Its advantage is that the measurement takes place "on- line", therefore it allows prompt monitoring of measured spiroergometric parameters directly on screen of computer that forms part of the analyzer. The spiroergometry is a method of determining the cardiorespiratory fitness through the medium of analyzer of exhaled gas in order to state the physical fitness. For statistical evaluation of differences in values of spiroergometric indicators between these two observed groups of patients I used the Student's unpaired T-test. The theoretical part contains an introduction into the issue of obesity, obesity epidemiology, history, aetiology and health risks of this disease, classification, diagnostics, treatment, and recommendations and advices for patients. Furthermore it contains terms as sports medicine, influence of motional activity on human organism, cardiorespiratory fitness, spiroergometry methodology, and spiroergometric parameters. The practical part contains a description of spiroergometric measuring process at the Institute of Sports Medicine at the 1st Faculty of Medicine of the...
