Braum, Zdeněk ; Fiala, Miloš (advisor) ; Bažant, Filip (referee)
Title: The influence of spinning on a time extension in the static apnea during free diving Objectives: The objective of this work was to find out whether even a short and intensive training can have an affect on the increase of a vital lung capacity, on a time extension in the static apnea, and on a performance improvement during free diving. Methods: The search of available literature and its recherche. Measurement methods determination: digital stopwatch for the apnea, spirometer for the vital lung capacity, and a Sport-tester and a Borg scale for the spinning program. Data collection. Results: The statistical analysis of the values of a vital lung capacity and a static apnea before and after sports training Keywords: diving, vital lung capacity, spinning, apnea, free diving
Development of vital lung capacity in children
Navrátilová, Nela ; Sedlak, Petr (advisor) ; Novák, Jan (referee)
Deficiency of physical activity can negatively affect the functional and morphological development of an individual. This bachelor thesis provides a basic overview of the anatomy of the respiratory system and the development of the lungs in the prenatal and postnatal period. It also follows up the development of lung function in children and the factors that influence this development. The parameters of the greatest informative value from the point of view of morphological and consequently also functional differentiation of the lungs are forced expiratory volume in t second, forced vital capacity and Tiffeneau-Pinelli index. These parameters of lung function are used by most studies that have evaluated the relationship between their level of development and the child's physical activity. The effect of physical activity on the development of lung function was recorded mainly in the pubertal and prepubertal periods. The health condition of the child is also limiting for the proper development of lung functions. Different values compared to healthy individuals occur, for example, in individuals with cystic fibrosis or asthma. Key words: Vital capacity of the lungs; spirometry; physical activity
Comparison of respiratory function in school aged children
Pološčuková, Michaela ; Šteffl, Michal (advisor) ; Chrudimský, Jan (referee)
Title: Comparison of respiratory function in school age children Objectives: The main aims of this study were to estimate influence of age, anthropometric measures, and a type of physical activity on forced vital capacity (FVC), and additionally to create reference values of FVC for children aged 5 to 10 years. Methods: 281 girls and 345 boys were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Data were obtained during the sport propagation event called Sportacek 2016. Descriptive statistics and regression models were carried out in data processing. Results: Statistically significant influence of body height as well as influence of physical activity in boys' gymnastics on FVC was found. Keywords: respiration, dependence, body height, forced vital capacity

Body Composition and Motor Performance of Males Aged 18 to 25 Years
ZAHRADNÍČKOVÁ, Zita
The aim of my thesis was to collect, compare and evaluate body size, body composition, vital lung capacity, dynamometry and a level of motor performance of men aged from 18 to 25 years of two target groups - men who are professional swimmers or floorball players, and males of a common population. Using standard somatometric methods, a group of 39 swimmers, a group of 39 floorball players, and a group of 39 non-sportsmen of a common population were examined. The examined body parametres were body length, body weight, bustline, arm line, contracted-arm line, forearm line, thigh line, calf line; width of epiphysis of humerus and femur, wrist, ankle, biacromial and bicristal breadth, breadth of the transverse and sagittal section of chest; skin folds. The ascertained data were compared with the results of previous researches. The thesis also includes the results of motor tests, dynamometry and vital lung capacity.
Vital capacity of lungs after operation hearts IKEM Prague
CHVOJKOVÁ, Lenka
Cardiovascular diseases in the Czech Republic represent the main cause of death and significantly contribute to the sickness rate and premature disability. Possibilities of treatment of cardiovascular diseases keep developing increasingly these days. An important part is the follow up spa treatment as well as sufficiently performed effective cardio rehabilitation. The theoretical part characterizes functional examination of the lungs and stress tests in cardiology. Simultaneously it describes early spa treatment and defines quality of life. The aim of the diploma thesis, which deals with the vital capacity of the lungs, was to prove positive effect of early spa treatment on the vital capacity of the lungs and on improvement of quality of life, specifically with respect to positive perception of one´s overall physical health. Hypotheses - H1: An early spa therapy positively affects spirometry values. H2: Patients with an early spa therapy better perceive their overall physical health. A form of quantitative research was chosen, in order to verify the determined aims and hypotheses of the diploma thesis. A standardized international Short Form SF - 36 questionnaires on quality of life was used for the data collection. Spirometry was utilized for ascertaining objective functional parameters. Values of spirometry examination were used for comparison. 32 patients after cardiovascular surgery were included in the research, who were transferred to Lázně Poděbrady on the 6th - 8th day after the surgery, 22 of them being men (69%) and 10 women (31 %). The average age of patients under research was 66,06 + 11,48 years. The check group consisted of 10 healthy volunteers. 8 women (80 %) and 2 men (20 %) at the average age of 37,1 + 13,3 years were included in the research. It follows from the spirometry results measured before the heart surgery at IKEM cardio center that a difference in results between the second and third spirometry occurred. The second and third spirometrical examination is the period of time, when the respondent undergoes the early spa treatment. After the heart surgery spirometry values worsen and improve in the course of the spa therapy. The research showed that the perception of overall physical health after the heart surgery is subject to perception of pain, which negatively affected sense of overall perception of physical health. H1 was confirmed and H2 was not confirmed. In order to improve current situation, it would be suitable to devote not only to cardio rehabilitation but also to improvement of perception of pain, e.g. by means of psychotherapy (art therapy, music therapy?). It is also important to widen a possibility of outpatient cardio rehabilitation in each cardio center for patients after heart surgery.
