Název: Porovnání tělesného složení fotbalových hráčů podle hráčského postu Cíle: Hlavním cílem této práce je zjistit tělesné složení u fotbalových hráčů podle postu, na kterém hrají a porovnat tyto údaje se zahraničními výsledky Metody: Celkem se výzkumu účastnilo 45 hráčů (8útočníků, 14záložníků, 16 obránců, 7 brankářů). Pro zjišťování tělesného složení byla využita bioelektrická impedanční analýza pomocí přístroje BIA 2000 M. Zpracování dat proběhlo v programu NUTRI 4, sledované parametry byly procento tělesného tuku, absolutní množství tukové, tukuprosté a vnitrobuněčné tkáně. Statistické zpracování dat (aritmetický průměr, BMI, směrodatná odchylka, tabulky a grafy), proběhlo v programu Microsoft Excel 2007 Výsledky: Hráči obou předních českých klubů mají tělesné složení typické pro vrcholové sportovce. Bylo zjištěno, že z měřených hráčů mají nejvyšší procento tělesného tuku brankáři. Nejméně procent tělesného tuku mají průměrně v těle obránci. Klíčová slova: fotbal, hráčské post...

Title: Body Composition and Motor Performance of Roma Children in the Most District Background: The Roma way of life, or rather the values they live up to, is different from the values and way of life of the majority population. This results in a lower life expectancy of the Roma and a worse social position in Czech society, even in total social exclusion. Since the individual's lifestyle evolves from childhood on, we focused on assessing the lifestyle using several parameters of body composition and motor performance of Roma children in socially excluded Roma localities Aims: The aim of this thesis is to find out the influence of the lifestyle of Roma children living in socially excluded Roma localities in the Most district on their body composition and motor performance. The second goal is to compare the body composition and motor performance of the children from majority population and socially excluded children from the Most district with the Czech children population standa...

Background The structural and functional changes of the skeletal muscles in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) caused by inflammation and immune changes can be severely disabling. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of a 24-week program combining a supervised training of activities of daily living (ADL), resistance, and stability with home exercise for improving muscle function, compared to a daily home-based exercise representing the regular outpatient care. Methods Fifty-seven patients with IIM were consecutively and non-selectively enrolled in an intervention (IG, n = 30) or control (CG, n = 27) group. Both groups were provided a standard-of-care pharmacological treatment and follow-up. Only the IG underwent the supervised intervention twice a week for 1 h per session. At baseline, 12, 24, and 48 weeks, all patients were assessed by an assessor blinded to the intervention for primary outcomes: muscle strength (Manual Muscle Testing of eight muscle groups [M...

OBJECTIVES The structural and functional changes of the hands and face in systemic sclerosis (SSc) can be severely disabling. We aimed to assess the effect of a 24-week supervised physiotherapy and occupational therapy program (POTp) combined with home exercise on the function of hands/mouth of SSc patients, compared to a daily home exercise program in typical outpatient care. METHODS Fifty-nine patients with SSc were consecutively and non-selectively enrolled in an intervention (IG, n=27) or control (CG, n=32) group. Only the IG underwent the POTp twice a week for 1.5 hours. At baseline, 12, 24, and 48 weeks, all patients were assessed by a blinded physiotherapist for the hands/mouth function (delta finger-to-palm, handgrip strength, Hand and Mobility in Scleroderma, interincisal/interlabial distance), and self-evaluated their hand (Cochin Hand Function Scale) and mouth function (Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis scale), disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire [HAQ], SSc HAQ...

Compelling evidence supports the health benefits of physical exercise on the immune system, possibly through the molecules secreted by the skeletal muscles known as myokines. Herein, we assessed the impact of exercise interventions on plasma Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) levels in 27 patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) compared with 23 IIM patients treated with standard-of-care immunosuppressive therapy only, and in 18 healthy subjects undergoing strenuous eccentric exercise, and their associations with the traditional serum markers of muscle damage and inflammation. In contrast to IIM patients treated with pharmacotherapy only, in whom we demonstrated a significant decrease in Hsp90 over 24 weeks, the 24-week exercise program resulted in a stabilization of Hsp90 levels. These changes in Hsp90 levels were associated with changes in several inflammatory cytokines/chemokines involved in the pathogenesis of IIM or muscle regeneration in general. Strenuous eccentric e...
