Selected characteristics of the mobility in women (age category 60,0-69,9 y.)
ŤOUPALOVÁ, Lenka
The aim of the thesis is to assess and to compare the selected physical characteristics in the group of thirty women of the gardening association (60,00-69,99 y.). The measurement was repeated (November 2019 and March 2020) due to a pandemic in only 17 of them. The measured characteristics were body height, body weight, circumference characteristics (circumference of right arm, hips and abdomen), skin folds (the skin fold over the biceps, the skin fold over the triceps, the subscapulare skin fold and the suprailiacal skin fold), spin mobility tests (Stibor´s symptom, Otto´s symptom, Cepoj´s sympton, Schober´s symptom, modified Thomayer´s symptom, the Scarf Test and the Lateroflexe Test). The Body Mass Index (BMI) and the sum of all four skin folds were calculated. There was also the evaluation of the footprint, The Life Satisfaction Questionnaire in the field "The Health" and "The Leisure" (Fahrenberg et al., 2001) and the questions of the supplementary questionnaire. The comparison of the average results of the November and March measurements of our group showed statistically highly significant difference (p = 0,000**) of body weight and BMI by the Student's test (t-test). The March values were significantly higher. The results of the Wilcoxon test were statistically significant for the average results of spine mobility test - Stibor´s symptom. In the November measurement, there was greater elongation of the spine in the forward bend (p = 0,030*). The research part of the thesis includes the results of the tightness of the relationship between BMI values and other data. It was found, that BMI values are not related to spine mobility tests (p > 0,05). It was the most interesting result of this part of relationships. In contrast, the results of the relationship between BMI and the rate of back pain show a correlation between these data (p = 0,049*). The average values of our group were compared with the results of the research from Olomouc (Riegerová, 2010). In this comparison, the higher average values of body weight and BMI of our group were evaluated as statistically highly significant (p < 0,01). The average values of body weight, BMI and abdominal circumference of our group were compared with the results of the research by Toman Hrušková (2018). These results were evaluated as statistically highly significant too (p < 0,01).

The physical characteristics of secondary schoolchildren in relation to type of nutrition in infancy
REJTHAROVÁ, Denisa
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to elaborate a research of available Czech and foreign literature and to carry out a study to assess the body dimensions of the 14-year-old age group. Body height, weight, circumferential dimensions (right arm, abdomen, hips, right thigh) and skin algae (above triceps, subscapular, suprailiacal and thigh) were measured and assessed. The follow-up included both infants exclusively breastfed at least 4 months of age, and breastfed children, and infants, who were artificially fed. By comparing the average values of all measured body characteristics of secondary school children with different feeding patterns in infancy, statistically significant differences in values were calculated only in the circumference of the right arm and the right thigh between girls in favor of breastfed girls. Other differences in mean values were not statistically significant. Comparing the data of previous researches with the average values of measured probands, we can say that the average BMI values of secondary school boys and girls increase according to the 1999 and 2001 surveys due to a more pronounced increase in average body weight values and a less pronounced increase in body height. Comparing the average values of the measured probands with the data of the reference sets, it was found that since 1985 the peripheral dimensions of the boy ´s hips and thighs have been increasing significantly. The circumferential dimensions of the arms, hips and thighs of our nursing girls have been increasing since the year 1985, but there has been a significant reduction in the circumference of the abdomen. The average values of all skin algae are increasing compared to the 1985 data.
