Influence of stress on pilot abilities
Procházková, Hana ; Chlebek, Jiří (referee) ; Šplíchal, Miroslav (advisor)
The diploma thesis focuses on measuring the pilot´s stress during real flights. The general methodology is established. This methodology should be followed when measuring stress. This methodology is applied on students and pilots during a real flight. Results show that with the gradual data collection, this methodology could contribute to the long-term goal of setting the tolerable level of stress and help streamline flight training.

The Sensor Systems Design and Optimization for Energy Harvesting Applications
Žák, Jaromír ; Husák, Miroslav (referee) ; Bajer, Arnošt (referee) ; Hubálek, Jaromír (advisor)
Dissertation thesis is focused on using alternative energy sources called energy harvesting. This thesis offers a solution to problems with autonomous powering of sensor networks if primary power source recovery is impossible. In these cases, energy of the external power (e.g. temperature, light, motion) should be used. Proposed solution should be especially used in the field of medical applications (e.g. cochlear implants, pacemakers, insulin pumps). Long time monitoring of the personal health status is also possible when employing automated sensor systems. In this work, there is state of art review relating to the low power energy sources for an alternative powering of sensor systems. It was observed that existing systems are almost prepared for the implementation of energy harvesting power sources. The energy harvesting power sources have been developed by numerous researcher teams around the world, but there are only a few variants of power management circuits for effective energy gaining, storing and using. This area has a huge potential for the next research. The issues regarding to the distribution of gained energy are solved on the complex level in the thesis. For these purposes, a new simulation model of the whole system (fully implantable artificial cochlea) including its subcircuits was developed in the SPICE environment. It connects independent subcircuits into a single comprehensive model. Using this model, a few novel principles for energy distribution (e.g. Charge Push Through technique) was developed. In the near future, these techniques are also applicable to the design of versatile sensor systems.

Physiological Data to Analyze and Improve the User Experience
Štěpánek, Daniel ; Beran, Vítězslav (referee) ; Materna, Zdeněk (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to obtain dataset of physiological data for user emotions in order to analyze and improve human-computer interaction. This paper proposes of the use Empatica wristband to capture physiological data and Python for data processing. After evaluation, 94 % of intact data was obtained from the expected number of samples. Based on the obtained data, it is possible to better analyze the user experience and thus improve it.

Smart Wearable
Moravec, Luboš ; Macháň, Ladislav (referee) ; Šteffan, Pavel (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the explanation of the concept of smart wearables and the different application possibilities. This work also includes examples of finished demonstration devices in this category. Part of this work is devoted to guide the selection of appropriate components for the design of new equipment in the category of smart wearable. The result of this thesis is designed wearable and charging station. This device is able to read user input and display that information on a smart device running under Android system connected via Bluetooth technology.

Influence of wearable electronics on the healthy lifestyle of students of the University of South Bohemia in the field of Health education
JEŽKOVÁ, Štěpánka
The aim of the presented bachelor thesis is to map the current state of use of wearable electronics by students of the University of South Bohemia in the field of Health Education, to analyze the impact of these devices on the healthy lifestyle of students. Answer the questions of whether students are more motivated to use regular electronics in connection with the use of this electronics and whether they have acquired new knowledge. In the theoretical part of the thesis, I deal with the topic of the current lifestyle, then define in more detail the important factors of a healthy lifestyle and characterize the study field of Health Education. The last chapter is focused on individual devices of wearable electronics. In the empirical part, I use a questionnaire survey to analyze the impact of ownership and use of wearable electronics on the healthy lifestyle of students and from the obtained, statistically evaluated data I subsequently interpret the results of the research itself. The processed data revealed that wearable electronics, which are used to monitor and record data on physical activity, are used by students of Health Education. Out of the total number of 63 students studying Health Education, 45 students participated in the research. In the area of this electronics, 80% of respondents use some of the devices. 7% of respondents are at least prospectively considering buying equipment. Of these active users, more than 2/3 of the respondents were shown to be motivated by wearable electronics for more frequent and regular physical activity. 81% of users confirmed the expansion of knowledge and the acquisition of new information in the field of a healthy lifestyle. It is undoubtedly clear from the answers that wearable electronics had a positive effect on the lifestyle of many respondents.

Use of Modern Technologies in Physical Education at Schools
Palička, Pavel ; Fialová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Mužík, Vladislav (referee) ; Bureš, Vladimír (referee)
Pavel Palička - Use of Modern Technologies in Physical Education at Schools Abstract Problem: The use of digital technologies in education is one of the possibilities how to support the pupils' motivation. Physical education (PE) offers a variable environment where various types of actual wearable technology (smart phone, tablet etc.) can be used. No integrated overview of possibilities and practical recommendations for the use of available digital technologies (DT) in physical education has been published. There is also lack of research results measuring impact of their use on everyday school practice. Hypothesis: It was hypothesized that pupils who receive innovated experimental education programme using digital technologies will have better relationship to PE and greater intrinsic motivation to exercise. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify changes in intrinsic motivation and relationship to physical activity in physical education triggered by an experimental DT- involving education programme. Methods: The research was carried out in form of a quasi-experiment conducted in physical education lessons in school years 6-9. The research sample (N=237) consisted of two groups. A group of 119 pupils in experimental lessons was compared with a control group of 118 pupils who went through...

The possibility of measuring the intensity of physical activity based on the number of steps and heart rate data in adults, school and preschool children
Jarco, Michal ; Buchtelová, Aneta (advisor) ; Musálek, Martin (referee)
The number of people suffering from overweight or obesity is growing worldwide. One of the most important factors contributing to weight gain is the lack of exercise, which is nowadays caused mainly by a sedentary lifestyle. Exercise is therefore very important for our health and in children it also significantly contributes to the proper development of their cognitive functions. This thesis is focused on the possibility of using data about total number of steps for a certain time unit (per minute or throughout the day) to classify the intensity of physical activity (especially moderate and vigorous) it also marginally deals with the possibility of evaluating the intensity of physical activity using heart rate data. According to internationally recognized standards, an adult should spend at least 30 minutes (60 minutes is recommended for children) a day in moderate intensity physical activity, or 15 minutes (30 minutes for children) in vigorous intensity physical activity. Many studies focused on adults agreed that the cadence of around 90-110 steps per minute is optimal for achieving moderate intensity of physical activity, but the height, age and gender of individuals also play an important role. For children, this value is around 120 steps per minute, but age is much more important than gender....
