This academic work deals with children who are school age or younger school age and their interest in skiing and snowboarding. It tries to expose the reason of decreasing attendance at ski courses offered by schools. The research made by questionnaire shows that most of the children attending lower grades of elementary schools do some sport. They would also like to attend the ski course but they often listed finances as the obstacle. The results of interviews made with teachers of elementary schools and high schools display that only the children who had experienced winter sports either before entering elementary school or soon after entering school want to participate. This work considers as important placing the ski courses at the first grade of the elementary schools. The number of children interested in winter sports would increase. More of them would consider participating at ski courses that help raising the physical and mental condition. Keywords: younger school age, physical activities, snowboarding, skiing

Title: Comparison of participation in physical activities of secondary school students and primary school pupils in Prague Objectives: The aim of the thesis was to find and compare the participation in extracurricular physical and sport activities of Prague's secondary school students and Prague's primary school pupils based on questionnaire survey and following evaluation of the obtained data. Methods: The research was realized using the questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was designed specifically for this research. Results: The research results suggest that the physical activities are comparatively expanded among secondary school students and primary school pupils in Prague. It has been statistically proven that primary school pupils are interested in physical activities in organized form more than secondary school students. There are not significant statistical differences between primary school pupils and secondary school students in the frequency of doing physical activities. Keywords: physical activities, secondary school, primary school

The topic of my diploma thesis is the motivation of the pupils at the secondary school. I focus on the two groups of the pupils. First group is the pupils who don't practice any sports and what is their relationship to physical activities and sports. The second group is the students who are active members of sports clubs and their relationship to sports. I will compare both student's groups and try to find what are the sources of their motivation, how to influence the motivation and what exactly determines their choice of sport. I will describe the influence of motivation in the theoretical part of my thesis. Later I will deal with the importance of the physical activities during the human life span. I will deal with the stimuli which affect the students in the selecting their sporting focus and activities via questionnaire in the practical part of the diploma thesis. Key words: motivation, secondary schools, physical activities, sport, leisure time

ATTITUDE TOWARD PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN CHILDREN OF AGE 8-10 YEARS Objectives: The main objective of this work is to identify attitudes towards physical activities for school children using a questionnaire CATP / Grade Year 3 (Schutz et al. 1985) in deliberately selected schools in 2008/2009 and subsequent comparison with results Málková in 2002. Methods: In our empirical study we used the method to get data questionnaire. It is a specialized questionnaire for primary school children known CATP GRADE / YEAR 3 (Schutz et al.1985). The questionnaire affects six dimensions of attitudes (social sensitivity, health hazards, social experience, aesthetic and pleasure of movement). For proper completion of the questionnaire was a manual for teachers or other examiners who are prepared to answering any questions students. Research was conducted in the third and fourth classes intentionally selected school (one village and a Prague Elementary School). The research was a one- stage and continued the descriptive research of Kaplan (2001). Results: The observed average values of six variables, we found higher value for X5dimensions - aesthetic in girls. For boys the contrary, we increased the value obtained is the dimension X3 - danger. We believe that this is due to the initial awareness of female and male...

A performance no trompete apresenta, além do contexto estético e musical, considerável componente físico, uma vez que o instrumento amplifica os sons \"produzidos\" pelo corpo. Neste ponto, o trabalho coordenado das diversas estruturas corporais (físicas e orgânicas) empregadas na execução do trompete exige do músico certo grau de desenvolvimento físico. O objetivo da pesquisa pauta-se na análise destas estruturas sobre uma proposta de atividades físicas, em sentido a manter e melhorar a performance no instrumento. Em um primeiro momento procura-se definir a atividade física em seu âmbito geral, benefícios, possibilidades de trabalho e atuação de profissionais. Tais conceitos são empregados posteriormente na análise dos diversos fatores utilizados no âmbito da performance, tais como a respiração, identificando as principais estruturas pulmonares e a respiração aplicada a performance; o \"aquecimento\" como preparação para atividade, com o exame de tradicionais estudos calistênicos; e a embocadura, desde pontos simples como dentes e ossos, até temas mais complexos como coluna de ar, vibração labial, vocalização e projeção. Todos estes temas sempre baseados em literatura e metodologia específicas do instrumento e de áreas congêneres ao assunto. A parte derradeira fica a cargo da pesquisa de campo, onde instrumentistas de sopro são questionados sobre diversos pontos do estudo/performance. Em linhas gerais, a análise demonstrou que 68% da população optam pela atividade física, e que 46% têm a mesma como forma de condicionamento para fins de saúde. Na parte específica dos instrumentos de sopro, os exercícios técnicos mais apontados são à respiração (35%), notas longas (17%) e a flexibilidade (11%). Dentre as exigências físicas mais proeminentes sobre a prática, a capacidade pulmonar é o ponto de maior consenso (53%), seguido da resistência muscular (21%). Após análise entre teoria, exemplos musicais e dados práticos coletados, conclui-se que atividade física auxilia na prática instrumental, em sentido a minimizar as exigências físicas impostas aos músicos. Apresenta-se em sequencia uma proposta de exercícios físicos baseada nos principais pontos utilizados no desempenho. Esta fica a critério de exercícios de alongamento, atividades aeróbicas (andar, correr, nadar) e ações de sobrecarga; nas questões específicas podem ser aplicados exercícios fonoaudiológicos simples e metodologia pertinente a cada instrumento. / The performance on the trumpet presents, besides the musical and aesthetics context, considerable physical component, considering the instrument as an amplifier of the sound \"produced\" by our body. At this point, the coordinated work of several body structures (physical and organic) employed on trumpet performance demands from the player high levels of physical development. The objective of this research denotes the analysis of these structures about a physical activities propose, in a way to maintain and improve trumpet\'s performance. First, we define physical activity in general focus; benefits, possibilities of work and professional attendance. The concepts explained before are now employed on the analysis of other factors, considering the performance environment, such as breathing, identifying main lung structures and the breathing process applied to performance; the \"warm-up\" as a preparation to the activity, with analysis of the traditional calisthenics exercises, the embouchedure, since simple points (teeth and bones) until more complex subjects like air column, lip vibration, vocalize and projection. Everything based on the specific methodology of the trumpet and related areas. The last part is presented by the public research, where wind players are interviewed about all aspects of performance and study. In general, the interview shows us that 68% of the population choose the physical activity, and 48% place it for health purpose. On the specific instrument themes, the most answered exercises are breathing (35%), long notes (17%) and flexibility (11%). About the main physical demanding on practice, the lung capacity is the point of consensus (53%), followed by muscular endurance (21%). After an explanation among points from theory, musical examples and collected dates from the interviews, we conclude the physical activity as a useful toll to decrease the physical demanding faced by the players. In such way we present a propose with physical exercises based on the main body functions employed on performance. It is based on stretching exercises, aerobic activities (walking, running, swimming) and weight-lifting actions; specific procedures of each instrument may be applied, as well simple speech science exercises.

Syftet med studien var att öka kunskapen om hur koncentrationen hos barn i förskolan påverkas vid en lässamling om de innan har fått utföra en pedagogstyrd rörelseaktivitet. För att få besvara mina forskningsfrågor utgick jag ifrån två frågeställningar om hur rörelseaktiviteter innan en lässamling påverkar barnens koncentration under lässamlingen och om barns ålder har en påverkan på koncentrationen i lässamlingen. Metoden som användes var en observation med ett observationsschema och två kvalitativa intervjuer med en pedagog. Resultatet visade att vissa barn blev mer positivt påverkade av rörelseaktiviteten med en bättre koncentrationsförmåga under lässamlingen, medans vissa barn blev påverkade på ett mer negativt sätt som utspelade sig med en svårighet att hålla koncentrationen under lässamlingen. I resultat visades det att åldern har en betydelse för hur rörelseaktivitet kan användas. / The purpose of the study was to increase the knowledge on how children in preschools are affected by physical activities that are led by the preschool teachers before reading. In the pursuit for answers I asked two questions those where if the physical activities before the reading had any effect on the children and if the children’s age mattered. The method that I ended up using was observations by an observations list and two qualitative interviews with the preschool teacher. The results showed that some of the children were positively affected by the physical activities with an increase in concentration ability during the reading. While some of the other children showed signs of difficulty in keeping concentration. In the results I concluded that age matter on how the physical activities should be applied.

Pendant près d’un siècle, la France construit une politique de la vieillesse résultant de la progressive mise sur l’agenda politique de la question du vieillissement de la population dont la prise en charge se tournera récemment vers la problématique de sa prévention dans l'objectif d’un « vieillissement actif », en santé et/ou d’un « bien-vieillir ». Dans cette perspective, nourrie des avancées scientifiques et des transformations sociales, la prévention du vieillissement va intégrer dans les différents textes et dispositifs les activités physiques et sportives (APS) comme outil fondamental. On observe ainsi au détour des années 2000 en France, l’inscription des APS au sein des politiques publiques de prévention. Notre travail se propose de tracer la place des APS dans les différents textes de politique de la vieillesse au niveau international et national pour comprendre quand, comment et pourquoi celles-ci apparaissent incontournables. Nous plaçons aussi la focale sur les différents dispositifs de prévention du vieillissement mobilisant les APS aux différentes échelles des politiques publiques en France. Nous mettons alors au jour la présence d’une multitude d’acteurs publics et privés issus de secteurs d’activités différents et une forte fragmentation des dispositifs ainsi qu’une pluralité de modèles d’interventions dont les formes de coordination restent partielles. / For nearly a century, France has been gradually building its policy on ageing, as the topic took a larger and larger part in the political agenda. It has recently concentrated on prevention, to aim for active ageing, healthy ageing or ageing well. As a result, in a backdrop of scientific progress and social transformations, sports and physical activities have become the main tool of ageing prevention strategies.It was in the 2000’s that sports and physical activities became fully part of the French public policy for prevention. Our research is especially concerned with the international and national ageing policies, which use sports and physical activities as a privileged tool to keep seniors healthy. The aim is to understand when, how and why sports and physical activities became the cornerstone of these policies.We will also focus on the various schemes which rely on sports and physical activities and which are currently implemented across the country at each level of public policy making.We will show that there are a huge number of private and public actors, with all kinds of expertise, who take part in these schemes. The programmes of action are numerous and varied, but appear fragmented and sometimes lacking in coordination.
