Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur patienter upplevde en sjukgymnasts metodik i samband med utlärningen av hemträningsprogram de fått ordinerade i rehabiliterande syfte för sina skador. Dessutom undersöktes hur väl sjukgymnastens metodik gällande hemträningsprogram stämde överens med tidigare forsknings rekommendationer, och ifall samband kunde ses mellan patienternas följsamhet och de faktorer som påverkar den. Undersökningen var en modifierad fallstudie och genomfördes med relativt högt strukturerade telefonintervjuer. Undersökningsgruppen bestod av sju patienter som alla hade ordinerats hemträningsprogram ifrån samma sjukgymnast, för olika typer av skador. Resultatet av studien visade på att patienterna upplevde mottagningens metodik som väl fungerande. Sjukgymnastens metodik stämde även väl överens med tidigare forskningsrekommendationer för en hög följsamhet utav träningsprogrammen bland patienterna. Samband mellan patienternas följsamhet och tidigare forsknings rekommendationer visade sig vara starka. / The purpose of this study was to examine how patients experienced the methodology concerning the home exercise programmes they have been prescribed by a physiotherapist in rehabilitation purpose due to their injuries. Furthermore it was examined how well the methodology regarding the home exercise programmes made by the physiotherapist agreed with recommendations according to previous research studies, and if a connection could be drawn to the patients’ determination to comply with the exercise programmes. The study was a modification of a case study and it was conducted by relatively high structured telephone interviews. The target group for the study consisted of seven patients, all which had been prescribed with home exercise programmes by the same physiotherapist due their different injuries. The result of the study implies that the patients experienced the methodology of the physiotherapist reception as well-functioning. The methodology of the physiotherapist was also fall in line with what previous recommendations from scientific studies regards important in order to achieve a high compliance of the exercise programmes among the patients. The connection between the compliance of the patients and recommendations made based on previous studies appears to be highly related.

Title: Effects of the power yoga exercise program on selected parameters of postural stability in students of the Faculty of Science of the Charles University in Prague. Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyze the effects of the power yoga intervention program on selected parameters of postural stability and to identify potential differences between the experimental and the control groups. Methods: The three-month intervention program was implemented within Physical Education subject curriculum MS730C at the Department of Physical Education of the Faculty of Science of the Charles University in Prague. The research sample consisted of 80 students of the second year of the Faculty of Science, who were assigned by drawing lots into the experimental and the control groups. Changes of the selected parameters of postural stability were assessed before and after the three-month intervention program. Measurements of the postural stability level were performed using selected tests in the Laboratory of Sport Motor Skills of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of the Charles University in Prague. The tests were carried out on the stabilometric board Footscan. Nonparametric tests were used for statistical evaluation. Substantive significance coefficient ω2 was used to evaluate the substantive...

The diploma thesis describes how to ascertain the influence of basic martial arts on pupils at primary school. Selected martial arts exercises are planned in a four month period, and the pupil´s physical condition is closely watched to see how it is affected. To ascertain the improvement in the pupil's physical condition, the test called EUROFIT was used. And they correspond the question how these martial arts activities affect the physical condition of a pupil.

The topic of this work is to qualify an efficiency of regular exercise on thoracic spine, hip joint and ankle improvement. There was a qualitative research used for achieving the main goal (by using questionaries and tests, created by myself, to test the mobility of these selected body segments. A positive influence of this regular exercise on mobility was found out in this resrearch, although bigger differences have been expected in individual segments. A possitive impact on mental health was also shown, as was on physical health. Some health issues, which have apeared in the beginnig of this exercise, also dissapeared after a completion of this program.

The thesis focuses on the prevention and correction of arch defects of the foot in children during their first grade of elementary school. In this paper, we analyze whether it is possible within the school curriculum to contribute to the prevention and recovery of students through an exercise program and to include this in the curriculum. We offer a variety of aids that are useful for the program. The aim of the experiment is to assess the extent of those defects in children and the effects of the exercises on the foot. The contribution of the exercise program on the arch of the foot evaluated using plantography before and after the intervention, interviews with pedagogues, questioning of the pupils and their legal representatives. A part of the work is methodical set of exercises, which are useful for daily exercise. The research group consists of 28 students from the second grade of elementary school. After completing the training program, the incidences of children with malformation of the foot arch decreased by 3.6%. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Physical activity (PA) is beneficial to people of all ages and ethnicities. Regular physical activity can reduce the risk of multiple chronic diseases, improve mood and sleep and allows your body to function better overall (CDC, 2018). However, populations that are more vulnerable to adverse health risks may benefit more than others from regular physical activity. This study was designed to identify the motivating factors for physical activity in a sample of older, African-American women of lower socioeconomic status (SES). This particular subgroup was chosen because of their increased risk of obesity and cardiovascular disease due to unhealthy lifestyle factors, specifically low levels of PA. (CDC, 2017). A secondary aim of this study was to determine the essential components necessary to create a successful PA program within this population. By determining the feasibility and acceptability of a PA program to target this specific population, further PA programs can be designed to promote adoption and sustainability of PA in this high-risk population. This study consisted of 8 African-American women of lower SES at an average age of 65 and average BMI of 32 kg/m^2 . The participants volunteered to participate in an 8-week exercise program for this study. The exercise class lasted 45 minutes and consisted of light aerobics, weight training, and mobility/flexibility exercises. After the 8 weeks, the participants were given questionnaires, surveys and participated in a focus group to collect data about their experiences. The Hebni staff and exercise instructors observed that there was 100% attendance and compliance throughout the 8 weeks. They also noted that the participants had positive attitudes and stayed actively engaged throughout the classes. After reviewing the data, it was noted that the necessary components to a successful exercise program for this population was a sense of community, cultural considerations, a community and familiar setting, and a reliable and open-minded instructor. The data showed that 100% of the participants continued participating in PA outside of the program and felt less stressed after exercising. This study is unique and important in that it looks at physical activity and its motivating factors in this population versus the ample research that focuses on why this population is sedentary but offers no solution to the problem.

Title: A support exercise program for the reduction of children's obesity Goals: The goal of this master thesis is to outline and realize some support exercise program for elementary school children who have diagnosis of overweight and obesity. This program will be held in a medical institution Dr. L. Filipa, Lázně Poděbrady. The effectiveness of the program will be tested by anthropometric parameters. Methods: The program was held from 26.3. - 22.4. 2014. The intervened group contained 12 participants, 6 boys and 6 girls, between 10 - 12 years old. The measurement of the anthropometric indicators was made by bioelectrical impedance analysis. The abdomen circumference was measured by a measuring-tape. Results: The support exercise program had a positive impact for the reduction of the children's obesity. The average loss of the weight at the intervened group was 4,4 kg, the BMI was reduced about 1, 8 kg/m2 . The body fat was reduced about 3,1 %, the abdomen circumference was reduced about 5, 7 cm and the muscle mass increased about 1,7 %. The program had a positive reply and helped children to create more positive relation toward physical activity. .
