Steklík, Aleš ; Šteffl, Michal (advisor) ; Novák, Dominik (referee)
Title: Compensatory exercises as one of the possible tools for injury prevention in ice hockey players Objectives: The aim of this thesis was primarily to identify and describe the most common injuries occurring in ice hockey players based on professional articles and available literature. Subsequently, the work was aimed at creating a stack of compensatory exercises (relaxation, strengthening, stretching) that could lead to a reduction in the risk of injuries. Methodology: The work was based on an empirical character. The findings from the literature were used. On the basis of the literature, consultations with physiotherapists and own experience, compensatory exercises were designed, which focused on the prevention of injuries in ice hockey players or on the elimination of imbalances or on exercises typical for the development of ice hockey players. Conclusion: Based on the literature and articles, it has been found that the most common injuries in ice hockey players are due to overload and contact with an opponent. Ice hockey players spend most of their time on the ice during games or training or spend time on conditioning. However, they forget about compensatory exercises. As a result, muscle imbalances occur due to unilateral loading and this causes many negative changes in the musculoskeletal...

Beran, Václav ; Jebavý, Radim (advisor) ; Vojta, Zdeněk (referee)
Title: Unilateral loading diagnosis in ice hockey Objectives: The primary objective of this work is to determine if junior field hockey players exhibit characteristic muscular imbalances in areas at high risk for unilateral loading. Sub-objective #1. Conduct a series of physiological tests (Patrick test, Thomas test, pectoralis muscle shortening test, ankle flexibility test, and left and right knee internal and external rotation tests) on junior field hockey players from four different teams to identify potential areas at high risk for unilateral loading. Sub-objective #2. Conduct a statistical analysis of the data collected to determine if there is a statistically significant unilateral strain in any of the areas tested and if there are significant differences between teams. Methods: In our study, the physical condition of the players was assessed using a modern Tanita scale and diagnostic exercise tests. Statistical methods such as t-tests, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, Wilcoxon test, and principal component analysis were used for data analysis. We also used Fisher's exact test and chi- square test to evaluate differences in frequency. A post-hoc test was then performed - Tukey's HSD test. Results: Our study identified statistically significant instances of unilateral load among hockey players...

The design of compensatory exercises for kitesurfing
Kerzel, Jan ; Kinkorová, Ivana (advisor) ; Kramperová, Veronika (referee)
Title: Design of compensatory exercises for kitesurfing Objectives: The aim of the bachelor thesis is to briefly characterize kitesurfing as a sport, to describe its possible influence on the musculoskeletal system and to create a set of compensatory exercises with and without the use of equipment, including several compensatory programs. Methods: The work was based on the collection and analysis of available information obtained from literature and internet sources. The basis for the selection of the proposed compensatory exercises was professional literature and articles focused on the elimination of muscle imbalances and injury prevention. The design of short compensatory programs was also based on own experience gained during kitesurfing. Results: Based on the available information from literature and articles, it was found that the most common injuries are to the lower limbs, especially the knee and ankle joints, as a result of problems during landing, manoeuvre or jump. Overuse areas include the lumbar spine, abdominal muscles and thighs. Problems related to the safety system, inability to relax and shallow water, which is risky on impact, are usually cited as the cause of trauma and accidents. Keywords: kitesurfing, muscle imbalance, injury, compensatory exercise

Possibilities of influencing muscle imbalances in canoeists through physiotherapy
HAVRLANTOVÁ, Marie
This bachelor's thesis deals with muscle imbalances in canoeists and possibilities of their influence through physiotherapy. Canoeing, specifically whitewater kayaking, is a power-endurance water sport, whose goal is to pass across the river stretch as soon as possible. This sport puts high demands on the shoulder muscles and the trunk, on which different muscle imbalances arise, that are impaired by inappropriate compensatory exercise and poor stretching and can lead to injury. The aim of this thesis is to find out, what muscle imbalances and postural disorders occur in canoeists (whitewater kayakers) and how can one influence these problems with physiotherapy. The first (theoretical) part describes the general knowledge about canoeing - history, characteristics and the kinesiology of the paddling movement. Furthermore, sports training, muscle imbalances and sport medicine are generally described there. The second (practical) part describes the physiotherapeutical methods used in this study. It also contains the results of the research itself, which was processed in the form of case studies. Each case study comprises of anamnesis, initial kinesiological examination, the course of the individual therapies, final kinesiological examination and the final evaluation of therapy. The research lasted in the lenght of 8 therapies. The research showed, that the most common muscle imbalances in whitewater kayakers are: weakening of the deep stabilization system, upper cross syndrome and shortening of the hip flexors. With these imbalances are associated postural disorders in the form of increased lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis, shoulder protraction and forwarded head posture. This thesis can be used in the practice of physiotherapy, sports coaches or as an educational material for a specific group of sportsman.

Možnosti kompenzačního cvičení pro mladé hráče softballu do 20 let
ABBRENTOVÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis "Possibilities of compensatory exercises for young softball players under the age of 20" scrutinises the most common muscle imbalances deals with softball players and and how they can be dealt with through compensatory exercises. Athletes are often subject to high demands and excellent performance and results. For this reason, they often do only unilateral sports and have other exersises. However, long-term unilateral burden without proper compensation has detrimental effect on the individual's musculoskeletal system. One of the many examples of asymmetric load is softball. The first goal of this bachelor thesis was to map the most common muscle imbalances occurring in young softball players. The second goal was to create an educational brochure containing compensatory exercises. The bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical characterizes softball, overloaded structures and the most common injuries. Furthermore, it maps the possibilities of compensatory exercises. The practical part took place in the form of qualitative research and includes case studies of four softball players under the age of 20. Compensatory exercises were compiled on the basis of anamnesis and kinesiological analysis. The foundation of the exercise unit was very similar very similar, some exercises were added individually according to the needs of the proband. After 2-3 months of regular exercise, the results were evaluated using a kinesiological analysis that included the same tests as at the beginning. Subsequently, the results were compared and the effect of therapy was evaluated. This thesis can serve as a source of information on the most common functional problems that young softball players usually encounter. Furthermore, it can also serve as an educational material for softball players and coaches.

Disorders of the musculoskeletal system and muscular dysbalance in volleybal female players in different age categories
CANDROVÁ, Pavla
The bachelor thesis is focused on disorders of the musculoskeletal sytem and muscular dysbalance in volleyball female players. The topic of the work is very current. It deals with the influence of volleyball on the musculoskeletal system, what types of injuries are most often at volleyball players. The work is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part defines the injuries, acute and chronic, which occur injuries are typical for volleyball. Also the muscular dysbalances in volleyball are described, which volleyball as a one-sided sport causes and I described the basic characteristics of compensatory exercise. The aim of the work is to find out and describe what musclar dysbalances and functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system occur at volleyball players and in which age these dysbalances begin to manifest most. Another goal of the practical part was to originate a set of compensatory exercises based on the research results. A quantitative type of research is used to carry out the research part of the bachelor thesis. An information was obtained from each player, kinesiological analysis and examination of shortened and weakened muscles was performed. The research group consists of 48 girls playing for the volleyball club SK Hlincovka. According to age, players are divided into six age categories (preparation, younger pupils, older pupils, cadets, juniors and women). The results are processed into tables and according to them a compensatory exercise is designed. Through research, it was found out what musclar dysbalances and musculoskeletal disorders affect volleyball players, in which age the greatest progression of muscle imbalance occurs. The work can be used by physiotherapists and especially volleyball coaches as an aid to the correct not only stretching of players. The results show that volleyball has a negative effect on the upright posture of players. Weakening and shortening of certain muscles or muscle groups results in the creation of muscle imbalances. The players suffer from chronic pain, especially of the cervical and lumbar spine. The greatest progression of muscle imbalances was at the turn of the age category of older pupils and cadets. I attribute this increase in musclar dysbalance to the acceleration of body growth during puberty. According to the results of the examination, I suggested a compensatory exercise that should help the players with their problems.

LANDAUEROVÁ, Martina
The graduation thesis deals with the design and verification of an exercise program to improve the posture of competitive swimmers in the category of younger adolescents. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the anatomical overview of the skeletal and muscular system, it also deals with the effects of competitive swimming on the musculoskeletal system, the characteristics of compensatory exercises and Spiral stabilization of the spine. Content analysis, synthesis, and standardized test for posture according to Jaroš and Lomíček were used in this graduation thesis. The group of test subjects consisted of 2 boys and 4 younger girls from the Příbram Swimming Club. Based on the results of the initial testing, an exercise program was designed according to the Spiral Stabilization of the Spine method. Subsequently, the 10 minute exercise was applied 6 times per week for 3 months. Afterwards, output testing which was identical to the input testing was performed and changes were compared. Posture was improved in all swimmers examined. The verification of the exercise program can be considered successful. This thesis can serve as a base for swimming coaches in determining compensatory exercises.
