This thesis focuses on the topic: ?The Physical activity of persons with a focus on physician?. In the theoretical part of my thesis, I focus eg. on area history of kinesiology, motor skills and development, factors influencing physical activity or diseases caused by physical inactivity. The practical part of this work is to monitor physical activity among physicians from different sectors.To determine the level of physical activity was chosen IPAQ long for 100 doctors who participated in the monitoring. I selected 30 doctors, who for a week had individually set pedometer and write down your daily physical activity.

Among them, the most recognized and employed questionnaire today for screening is the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ), a questionnaire for parents developed in Canada. This was translated and adapted to Brazilian culture, however its scoring system was not standardized for Brazilian children. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the questionnaire to a group of children aged 8, 9 and 10 years using as gold standard the Movement Assessment Battery for Children Test (Mabc-2) engine test also identify the cutoff point for each specific age and correlate the scores of both tests between gender and between economic classes. It is a descriptive study transversal - exploratory, with a quantitative approach. The participants were 100 children enrolled in the municipal school system of Rio Claro -SP, where had their motor skills evaluated using the DCDQ-Brazil and Mabc-2, and their socioeconomic conditions verified by Criterion Brazil. The data collected were subjected to statistical analysis of association and the cutoff set by the Youden index and Roc curve (Receiver Operator Characteristic). The results reveal the DCDQ-Brazil does not have satisfactory validity to the Brazilian context analyzed in the sample at the ages of 8 and 10 years the ages of 8 and 10 years, with its higher cutoff points the cutoff points defined in this study, in a proportion ranging 4-7 points. Also found, contrary to what area of the studies show, girls and boys do not have significant difference when evaluated in DCDQ-Brazil and Mabc-2, and no association between the results of the instruments and the socioeconomic classification of participants was detected, suggesting socioeconomic status does not imply engine performance and incidence of DCD. It was possible to ascertain the use of Mabc-2 instruments and DCDQ-Brazil together enables check for data favor the evaluation of the specificity and sensitivity of DCDQ-Brazil for a group of children aged 8 and 10 years. For future research it is suggested further data on the age of 9 years to use the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire form adapted to Brazilian children between 8 to 10 years promoting the early identification process of the DCD. / Diferentes instrumentos que atendam aos critérios do Manual Diagnóstico e estatístico de Transtornos Mentais (DSM) para o diagnóstico do Transtorno do Desenvolvimento da Coordenação (TDC) vêm sido utilizados por pesquisadores da área. Dentre eles, o questionário mais reconhecido e empregado na atualidade para a triagem é o Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ), um questionário para pais desenvolvido no Canadá. Este foi traduzido e adaptado para a cultura brasileira, no entanto seu sistema de pontuação não foi padronizado para as crianças brasileiras. Diante disso, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo principal avaliar a sensibilidade e a especificidade do questionário para um grupo de crianças de 8, 9 e 10 anos utilizando como padrão ouro o teste motor Movement Assessment Battery for Children Test (Mabc-2), também identificar o ponto de corte para cada idade específica e correlacionar as pontuações de ambos os testes entre gênero e entre as classes econômicas. Trata-se de um estudo de caráter transversal descritivo - exploratório, com abordagem quantitativa. Participaram da pesquisa 100 escolares matriculados na rede de ensino municipal de Rio Claro-SP, os quais tiveram suas habilidades motoras avaliadas por meio do DCDQ-Brasil e Mabc-2, e suas condições socioeconômicas verificadas pelo Critério Brasil. Os dados coletados foram submetidos à análise estatística de associação e os pontos de corte definidos através do índice de Youden e curva Roc (Receiver Operator Characteristic). Os resultados revelam que o DCDQ-Brasil não possui validade satisfatória para o contexto brasileiro analisado na amostra nas idades de 8 e 10 anos, sendo seus pontos de corte mais altos que os pontos de corte definidos nessa pesquisa, numa proporção que varia de 4 a 7 pontos. Também verificou-se que, diferentemente do que estudos da área apontam, meninas e meninos não apresentaram diferença significativa quando avaliados no DCDQ-Brasil e Mabc- 2, e nenhuma associação entre os resultados dos instrumentos e a classificação socioeconômica dos participantes foi detectada, o que sugere que a condição socioeconômica não implica no desempenho motor e incidência do TDC. Foi possível averiguar que o uso dos instrumentos Mabc-2 e DCDQ-Brasil em conjunto possibilita verificar a presença de dados que favorecem a avaliação da especificidade e sensibilidade do DCDQ-Brasil para um grupo de crianças de 8 e 10 anos. Para futuras investigações sugere-se aprofundar os dados relativos à idade de 9 anos a fim de utilizar o Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire de forma adaptada às crianças brasileiras na faixa de 8 a 10 anos favorecendo o processo de identificação precoce do TDC.

Children with pronunciation difficulties are at risk of consequences later on, such as reading and writing difficulties. Problems with pronunciation could make a child less intelligible and affect their ability to discriminate between different speech sounds. To facilitate the assessment of pronunciation difficulties it is necessary to use appropriate and updated assessment tools suitable to analyze the children’s phonological development. The Swedish pronunciation test, Bedömning Av Fonologi (B.A.F.), has therefore been developed. This new test can be used by professionals to evaluate the phonological realisations of children. The purpose of this study was to gather normative data of 4 and 5 year olds for B.A.F. and to investigate if girls and boys performed differently concerning the pronunciation of the words in B.A.F. Furthermore, the intention was to investigate if there was any correlation in the performance of the words in B.A.F. with oral motor precision (by oral motor movements tasks), oral motor speed (by repeating syllables) as well as auditory perception (by repetition of nonwords). 63 children (36 girls and 27 boys) in the ages of 48 to 71 months participated in the study. The results showed that by using B.A.F. it is possible to see that the number of correctly pronounced words increases with age. Further, the results indicated that children in the ages of four and five had established /p, t, k, d, f, v, j, h, l, m, n/ and /ŋ/ and all the vocals except /y:/ and /Y/. The only speech sound that did not prove to be established was /r/. Neither the 4 nor the 5 year olds had established consonant clusters containing /r/. A significant correlation was found between oral motor speed and correctly pronounced words in B.A.F. The children’s auditory perception also correlated with the number of correctly pronounced words in B.A.F. This study suggests that skills concerning auditory perception and oral motor speed have more effect on pronunciation skills than oral motor precision. The results gave no indication of a difference in pronunciation between girls and boys. / Barn med uttalssvårigheter löper risk för senare konsekvenser, som exempelvis läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Problem med uttal kan göra ett barn svårförståeligt för omgivningen och kan påverka förmågan att särskilja mellan språkljud. För att underlätta bedömningen av uttalssvårigheter behövs uttalstest som är aktuella och anpassade efter barns utveckling. Därför har det nya uttalstestet Bedömning Av Fonologi (B.A.F.) producerats. Med hjälp av B.A.F. kan barns fonologi undersökas genom uttal av språkljud i ord. Denna studie syftade till att ta fram normativa data för testet hos 4- och 5-åringar. Studien syftade även till att undersöka om några skillnader mellan könen gällande prestationen på B.A.F. fanns samt om något samband mellan uttal av orden i B.A.F. och ett antal uppgifter som mätte oralmotorisk precision (oralmotoriska rörelser) och snabbhet (upprepning av stavelser), samt auditiv perception (repetition av nonord) kunde påvisas. I studien deltog 63 barn (36 flickor och 27 pojkar) i åldrarna 4;0 år till 5;11 år. Under analysen delades barnen in i grupper av halvårsintervall. Resultaten visade att man i B.A.F. kan se att antal korrekt uttalade ord ökar i linje med stigande ålder. Det påvisades även att barn i fyra- och fem årsåldern etablerat /p, t, k, d, f, v, j, h, l, m, n/ och /ŋ/ samt alla vokaler utom /y:/ och /Y/. Det enda konsonantfonem som ej visade sig vara etablerat i dessa åldrar var /r/. Ingen av åldersgrupperna hade heller etablerat kluster innehållandes /r/. Ett signifikant samband kunde påvisas mellan oralmotorisk snabbhet och antal korrekt uttalade ord i B.A.F. Även barnens auditiva perception korrelerade signifikant med antal korrekt uttalade ord i B.A.F. Föreliggande studie tyder på att auditiv perception och oralmotorisk snabbhet har ett större samband med uttalet än oralmotorisk precision. Inga uttalsskillnader mellan könen framkom.

Vzrůstající nedostatek pohybu dětí a mladistvých v průmyslových státech se v minulých desetiletích rozvinul ve zdravotně-politický problém. V souladu s touto problematikou zároveň klesá i úroveň motorických schopností a dovedností, což představuje citelné omezení dětského vývoje, fyzické i psychické komponenty. Důsledkem jsou rostoucí náklady na zdravotní péči, které posléze výrazně zatěžují zdravotnictví v jednotlivých zemích. Cílem vědeckých týmů Západočeské Univerzity v Plzni a Technické Univerzity Chemnitz je v rámci pilotní studie pod názvem „Přeshraniční srovnávací analýza motorických schopností dětí mladšího školního věku“ stanovit a porovnat aktuální zdravotní situaci školáků v České republice a Německu. / Der gestiegene Bewegungsmangel der Kinder und Jugendlichen in den Industriestaaten hat sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten zu einem gesundheitspolitischen Problem entwickelt. Das darüber hinaus sinkende Niveau motorischer Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten zieht Beeinträchtigungen der kindlichen Entwicklung auf physischer und psychischer Ebene mit entsprechenden Folgekosten für die Gesundheitssysteme der Länder nach sich. Die Wissenschaftler der Westböhmischen Universität Pilsen und der Technischen Universität Chemnitz haben sich aus diesem Grund zum Ziel gesetzt, in der Pilotstudie „Grenzüberschreitende Vergleichsanalyse der motorischen Fähigkeiten von Kindern des jüngeren Schulalters“ die gesundheitliche Situation von Schulanfängern in der Tschechischen Republik und in Deutschland zu untersuchen und gegenüber zu stellen. / The increased sedentary lifestyle of children and adolescents in industrialized countries has evolved into a public health problem over the past decades. In addition, the declining level of motor abilities and skills draws impairment of children development on physical and psychological level, with appropriate follow-up costs for the health systems of countries. Scientists at the University of West Bohemia Pilsen and the Chemnitz University of Technology have for this reason the goal to investigate and to contrast the health situation of children starting school in the Czech Republic and in Germany with the pilot study "Cross-border comparative analysis of the motor skills of children of younger school age".

Die alternde Bevölkerung gehört zu den größten gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen sämtlicher Industrienationen. Bewegungsanregungen wird im Rahmen des Altersverfalls eine signifikant präventive Schlüsselrolle zuerkannt, wobei auch Serious Games großes Präventionspotenzial und vielseitige Gesundheitsförderung zugeschrieben wird. Diese Dissertation widmet sich einer Zustandsdarstellung älterer Menschen im deutschen Pflegekontext, um folgend die Potenziale eines Serious Games zur Gesundheitsförderung älterer Menschen unter Einbezug des Pandemieeinflusses zu evaluieren und reflektierende Handlungsempfehlungen dieses Untersuchungssettings abzuleiten. Evaluiert wurde ein Serious Game zur Förderung physischer, kognitiver und psychischer Kompetenzen – zu Beginn bei 1000 älteren Menschen in 100 Pflegeeinrichtungen in Deutschland über ein Jahr hinweg anhand einer IG und KG. Die Studiendurchführung eröffnete Diskrepanzen, sodass unter anderem Folgeuntersuchungen wie RCT Designs, Drop-Out-Regelungen und differenzierte Messinstrumente empfohlen werden. Die deskriptive Analyse konstatiert ein literaturgeleitetes Bild, das geprägt ist von großer Varianz und einer Wechselwirkung eruierter Konstitutionen. Die aufgrund restriktiver Maßnahmen während der COVID-Pandemie stark verringerte Stichprobe zeigte im Vergleich zur KG sowohl erste tendenziell positive Veränderungen in den gemessenen Kognitionswerten (MMST) als auch in den Motorikwerten (Tinetti-Test), wobei der Einfluss der Isolationsmaßnahmen diese Entwicklung nivellierte. Die erhobenen Werte evidierten einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Motorik der Teilnehmenden aufgrund von Pandemie-Restriktionen. Dieses Ergebnis reiht sich in die aktuelle Forschungslage ein: Serious Games – vorausgesetzt, sie sind qualitativ hochwertig evaluiert und werden regelmäßig und langfristig gespielt – ist als Präventionsinstrument in der Regelversorgung und notwendigen Aktivierung von pflegebedürftigen Potenzial beizumessen. / Aging population is amongst the biggest societal challenges of the future of all industrial nations. These challenges can be faced by technological measures as Serious Games with have a big potential in preventing and promoting health, just as benefiting from the key role of mobility as a preemptive effective measure. This dissertation is first committed to give an overview of the condition of elderly people in German nursing contexts. It will then evaluate the potentials of a serious game for health-promotion of elderly people plus the influence of the pandemic and in order to derive recommendations for future studies. The study design evaluates a Serious Game for the promotion of physical, cognitive and psychological competencies, beginning with 1000 elderly people in 100 nursing facilities in Germany over the course of one year by means of an IG and CG. The implementation of the study unveiled discrepancies, so that following investigations, RCT-designs, clear drop-out-regulations and differentiated measuring instruments are recommended. The descriptive analysis of elderly people in nursing homes states a literature driven image of their specific constitution which is characterized by a big variance and an interactive multidimensionality of their main constitutions. The sample, which was very diminished due to the Corona-pandemic, showed first tendentially positive changes within the measured cognitive values (MMST) as well as in the motor values (Tinetti-Test) compared to the CG, whereas the influence of the isolation measures leveled this development, which suggests that the pandemic-restrictions had a crucial impact on motor skills of the participants. This result is consistent with the current research which attributes great potential to serious games as a preventive measure in standard care and for the necessary activation of those in need of care - given that those games are evaluated in a high-qualitative manner and are played regularly and long term.
