<p>The purpose of the study was two fold: a) to develop and to test the Perceived Health & Exercise Participation Profile (PH&EPP); b) to examine the relationship between exercisers’ perceived health, goal orientation, physical self perception and exercise satisfaction. The sample consists of 126 exercisers (43 Male, 83 Female with mean age 35.6 ± 9). The study included a new questionnaire - the Perceived Health & Exercise Participation Profile (PH&EPP) and three other instruments: 1) Physical Self-Perception Profile (PSPP); 2)Task & Ego orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ); and 3) Rosenberg's Self-Esteem (RSE) Scale.

The Satisfaction with Health and Exercise Participation reached to significant correlations with all PSPP’s subscales, Task goal orientation, and RSE except Ego goal orientation. The Perception of Exercisers obtained significant correlations at 3 of 5 PSPP’s subscales. Exercisers indicated more task goal orientation than ego goal orientation.

Ziel des Projektes war es, die Auswirkungen des novellierten Tierzuchtgesetzes hinsichtlich der zukünftigen Durchführung von Leistungsprüfungen zu untersuchen. Mit Umsetzung der geänderten Rechtslage bis 2013 ist mit einem Rückgang staatlicher Fördermittel und somit auch mit einer reduzierten Teilnahme, vor allem an der Milchleistungsprüfung, zu rechnen. Weiterhin haben Funktionale Merkmale in der modernen Tierzucht an Bedeutung gewonnen und stellen neue Anforderungen an die Leistungsprüfung dar. Mit Hilfe von Modellrechnungen wurden die Auswirkungen veränderter Rahmenbedingungen sowie eine Nutzung vertraglich gebundener sog. Testherden in einem Zuchtprogramm untersucht. Zusätzlich wurde eine optimale Struktur hinsichtlich der Anzahl der eingesetzten Testbullen, der Anzahl der nachkommengeprüften Töchter je Testbulle sowie des Testanteiles ermittelt.

Title: The problems of nutrition and doping in bodybuilding and fitness Purposes: The aim of the thesis was to find differences in the area of nutrition and doping in condition fitness exercisers, active amateur competitors and professional athletes in bodybuilding and fitness, in the area of macro nutrients intake, drinking regimen, dietary supplements and abuse of doping. Methods: For the research, the qualitative method was chosen as a survey. The survey is divided into questions identifying information about problems of nutrition and doping. It contains a combination of open, closed and semi- closed questions. The selected set of examinations was a random sample of condition fitness exercisers, amateur and professional bodybuilding and fitness athletes. Results: The survey shows that although condition fitness exercisers perceive the optimal macronutrient and micronutrient intake, drinking regimen and dietary supplements as part of success in bodybuilding and fitness, their awareness and discipline do not reach the same level as competing respondents (amateurs and professional athletes). The diet of the competitors corresponds more with the recommendations in the literary sources. Minimal differences were found between the nutrition of condition fitness exercisers and athletes (amateur and...

This study aimed to analyse the changes occured in the buccinator muscles of mouth breathing children after using Facial Exerciser. Eight children aged between 06 to 11 years old with medical diagnosis of chronic mouth breathing were submitted to surface electromyographic evaluation during rest, sucking and blowing; previously to the beginning of therapy (T0) and approximately at 10 (T1) and 40 (T2) days of treatment. The results were quantified in RMS (root mean square) and shown in eV (microvolt). The normalized data were compared and statistically analysed through double ANOVA and ANOVA of Friedman, as well as the Tuckey Test. The results concerning buccinator muscle activity showed a tendency to decrease in the end of 40 days using the Facial Exerciser. There was an increase in the electrical activity average of both muscles, however statistically significant results were not found. The results were more expressive after the 10 days of treatment than after 40 days using the device, despite of not showing significant statistical difference. Based on these findings, it can be considered that the use of Facial Exerciser in mouth breathing children has cooperated with decreasing of buccinators muscles activity during rest position. During blowing there was an increase in the average of the activity in both muscles. / Este estudo objetivou analisar as modificações ocorridas nos músculos bucinadores de crianças respiradoras orais habituais após o uso do Exercitador Facial. Oito crianças entre 06 e 11 anos com diagnóstico médico de respiração oral crônica habitual foram submetidas à avaliação eletromiográfica de superfície nas situações de repouso, sucção e sopro; previamente ao início da terapia (T0), e aproximadamente aos 10 (T1) e aos 40 dias (T2) de tratamento. Os resultados das avaliações foram quantificados em raiz quadrada média (root mean square - RMS) e expressos em microvolts (eV). Os dados normalizados foram comparados e analisados estatisticamente por meio de testes ANOVA fator duplo (p<0,05) e ANOVA de Friedman, bem como comparações múltiplas pelo teste de Tukey. Os resultados a respeito da atividade dos músculos bucinadores mostraram tendência a uma diminuição ao final de 40 dias de uso do Exercitador Facial. Houve um aumento nas médias das atividades elétricas de ambos os músculos; porém sem significância estatística. Os resultados foram mais expressivos após os primeiros 10 dias de tratamento do que após 40 dias de uso do dispositivo; apesar de não mostrar diferenças estatisticamente significantes. Com base nesses achados, considera-se que o uso do Exercitador Facial Pró-Fono em crianças respiradoras orais habituais colaborou para a diminuição da atividade dos músculos bucinadores durante o repouso. Já durante a atividade de sopro houve um aumento nas médias de ambos os músculos.
