More specifically, this study investigated pre-and post- changes in the students' Stages of Change, weight preoccupation, Processes of Change, exercise adherence, and physical health components (such as heart rate, body composition, body weight, and cardiorespiratory fitness). Due to inconsistencies with the Wellness and Fitness groups' curricula during the semester, this study ultimately examined only Stages of Change, weight preoccupation, and Processes of Change. Three questionnaires, Exercise Program and Stages of Change, Processes of Change, and Weight Preoccupation were administered to all one hundred and fifty six subjects, ranging in age from 18-35 years( mean age 21.2 ± 3 yrs.), in the Fitness and Wellness courses in the beginning of the Fall, 2000 Semester. A fourth questionnaire, a modified version of the original Stages of Change, was given at the end of the semester along with the same Processes of Change and weight preoccupation questionnaires given at the beginning of the semester. Subjects were also given a 4-month calendar to track their exercise done both inside and outside of class. A 3-Month Follow-up Stages of Change questionnaire was administered to all subjects by email and/or phone. A one way ANOV A showed a significant difference in the d score for the Stages of Change in the Wellness group versus the Fitness Group (p=.0271). Further discussion of the results may suggest that students in the Wellness group had more social interaction with peers and their instructor and were able to focus on attaining their health behavior goals. Also, students in Wellness courses may have learned why they should balance their physical, social, and emotional dimensions in life and not just how to do so. Conversely, the focus of fitness based ceurses is primarily on the physical dimension. / 2031-01-01

Ethnography of women's bodybuilding competition Bc. Adriana Mandíková Thesis supervisor: PhDr. Marek Halbich, Ph.D. Abstract The aim of this diploma thesis is to provide a comprehensive ethnographic picture of women competing in bikini fitness, wellness fitness, bodyfitness and physique. The research on the chosen topic took place between 2017 and 2019 through participatory observation at competitions in fitness and bodybuilding organized by the Association of Bodybuilding and Fitness of the Czech Republic. The observation was continuously complemented by interviews with competitors, coaches, dieticians, members of the association and other informants who helped me to complete the picture of this subculture. In my work I focus on selected domains, such as the days of competitions and preparation for them, doping, the fight against criticism coming from the society, the financing of sports and the overall impact of this lifestyle on the health and personal life of competitors. Key words Fitness, bodybuilding, women, bikiny fitness, wellness fitness, bodyfitness, physique

The main function is an aquapark with indoor and outdoor pools, which will fulfil all needs of visitors. There are few other functions added, such as café, smaller fitness and massages. Absolutely main objective is to connect the existing pool with the pools of the Aquapark - so the visitors could be using all indoor swimming areas. There are also parking spots designed within this project - nearby is a parking garage connected by footbridge leading from the existing swimming pool alongside the Aquapark building. This footbridge is intended for people who come to Brno to the Aquapark - for families with children that is - therefore it ensures safe and uninterrupted crossing from the garage to the new Aquapark complex.
