The goal of this diploma thesis is to build up a methodology of speech techniques for a specific class which is covered in the topic "Prehistory". In the theoretical part I am engaged in particular teaching stages of speech technique such as attitude, respiration, vibration, effort of muscles in solar plexus area and enunciation. I mention its teaching problems and differences of teaching of individual speech techniques lectors. In the practical part of the theses I introduce my own methodology of particular lessons which concur and I cap it with a phonetic (voice) warm-up. I have taught these lessons at grade 3 of a primary school and I have reflected them.

Title: Musculoskeletal assessment analysis of triathletes Objectives: The main aim of this master degree thesis is the diagnostics of the current condition of the complex kinesiological examination of musculo-skeletal system in elite performance triathtletes of the Czech National Team level (Junior and U23 categories), including compensational exercises specifically devised for triathlets. Futhermore with the help of the selected data this study is expected to draw some basic conclusions and establish the typical postural characteristics of athletes related to the sport of triathlon. Methods: In this thesis we have used following testing methods: complex musculo skeletal examintation including evaluation of medical history, an antropometrical screening, standing static postural assessment, gait assessment, soft-tissue palpation exam, assessment of the fundamental movement patterns of an individua, examination of neurological reflexes, flexibility and range of motion screening. Based on the above mentioned tests we have received a complete functional and musculo skeletal system profile of each triathlete's. For collection we have used the SPSS 22 data analysis software. For the gender diferentiation we have used non-pairred T-Test and for perofrmance variability within the 3 levels we have used...

Methods: This thesis has been characterized as a case study. It is based on an experimental basis in the form of qualitative research. For the research five clients were chosen with problems in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. Applying exercise procedures was to show a positive effect on the deep stabilizing system. Following investigative methods were used: anamnesis, examination of static orientation, trigonometric spine examination, assessment of posture, postural stability testing, palpation, flexion of the neck stereotype by Lewit and "S" reflex. Testing was performed twice, at intervals of 3-4 months. Results: The results showed significant improvement in four out of five clients. Pain, stiffness or paraesthesia cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine alleviated or even disappeared. Postural muscle activation possession and corset improved. Exercises also positively influenced the stereotype of breathing and it was confirmed that an active cooperation of clients is necessary for the most efficient effect of...

This work deals with the posture of children preschool age. Due to the instability and children standing of factors affecting posture, the trials in this age group pose a problem. The goal is to assess the level of preschool children's posture in the region of Liberec and analyze the potential depending on posture and muscle imbalance movement stereotypes. The study will be used the following methods: a combination of visual methods of Klein, Thomas & Mayer and Jaros & Lomíček, Mathiasův test Thomayer test and muscle tests according to Janda. Based on the results will be chosen the best compensation method.

Title: Differences in postural activity during quiet standing when breathing abdominally. Aim and purpose: Aim of this study was to examine the effects of abdominal breathing on selected muscles and stability during quiet standing to find empirical evidence if it can reduce the strain and change the activity pattern, which erect standing demands from the muscles. Methods and materials: This thesis begins with an introduction to theoretical part in which we gathered all the already existing and written information needed to form the knowledge base for our experiment. Continuing in 9th chapter, methodology and experiment procedure are described where we measured muscle activity using surface EMG and to monitor changes in stability we used force- plate for posturography where only linear parameters were acquired. Both devices were used simultaneously while the subject was in quiet stance for a period of 90 seconds. Results: Results shown decrease in most of the muscles, with a higher increase in body sway in medio- lateral than in antero-posterior direction. Signal didn't change to a more distinct wave-like pattern of rhythmic oscillations, as we had thought it would. Keywords: Posture, quiet standing, abdominal breathing, diaphragm, system interrelation, EMG, posturography

Title: Influence of pilates method on the stabilizing system of the spine Objectives: The main aim of this diploma thesis was to confirm or refute the claim that a six-week motion program using the pilates method positively affects the stabilizing system of the spine. The partial aims of the work were to determine whether the a six-week motion program using the pilates method had a positive effect on the posture, spinal mobility, shortened muscles and standing stabilization. Methods: As a method of research, a case study was selected involving two adult persons (males). The motion program was preceded by an initial examination. In particular, static examination of the standing position, dynamic examination of standing position (flexion, extension, lateroflexion), examination of stabilization (Véle test, stand on 1 LL, standing on 2 scales), examinations of spinal distances (Schober's, Otto's and Čepojev's distance, lateroflexion), goniometry of rotation of thoracic and lumbar spine, examination of shortened muscles according to Janda (hip flexors, knee flexors, pectoralis major and minor, m.trapezius and paravertebral muscles) examination of postural stabilization by Kolář (extension test, trunk flexion test, diaphragm test, hip flexion test). Participants then underwent a six-week motion program...

The master thesis focuses on muscle imbalances occuring in a increasing number of children and its reparation by swimming and exercising in an aquatic environment. The thesis contains two sections - theoretical and practical. The teoretical part informs about history and conseguence of swimming, influence of aquatic environment on human organism, young school age children and muscle imbalances. The practical part fuceses on the defined hypothesis confirmation or falsification and on answering the questions of the research. The methods used, are questioning (questionnaire and interwiev) and observation. The disquisition took a place in Pražačka swimming pool, primary school Dědina and primary school Kavčí hory. There were 13 children, 66 parents and 112 school employees involved. It was detected that a large number of children has at least one muscle imbalance After the four month reserach it was confirmed that the aquatic environment has a positive influence on posture and major part of the children group has improved their swimming skills. An important finding is that almost all primary schools we were working with has swimming included in theis curriculum. Other finding is that parents attend swimming pools etc. less often than we've expected. The thesis conclusion contains overall summary of the...

The diploma thesis "Development of the methodology of correct posture and its verification in drama lessons within the school educational program" connects the correct posture with the teaching of dramatic education. In the area of posture, however, it is not as a theoretical discourse of what is known to every teacher, as is proved by this quote dating back over four decades: "The positive influence of proper body posture on healthy growth and development of all organs and the development of their functions is stated by medical literature and confirmed by everyday experience." The aim of the thesis is to examine the problems through practice, in particular by connecting with the already established subject and also the way of teaching in other subjects - dramatic education. The theoretical part is divided into two areas: correct posture and dramatic education. Both of them are first defined and put into context, then I deal with selected aspects that are relevant to this work. In the practical part I define the circumstances and conditions of creation and verification of the methodology of correct posture verified in drama lessons. The ensemble then combines methodological validation and rehearsing the fairytale The Princess and the Pea and the poems A Short Fairytale on Beet and Gingerbread...

Title: The Evaluation of the Current Situation of Posture and Flat Foot Occurrence among the Young, Engaged in the Sports and not Engaged in the Sports, in the West Bohemia Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to find out the current situation of posture and flat feet occurrence and to evaluate these findings together with a questionnaire survey, focused on the physical activity among a representative sample of young people. Methods: The main methods used to find out the current state of posture were a Matthias' posture test and a diagnostic device for flat feet examination with a polarized light called a podoscope. Plantographs had been evaluated according to the Kapandji score (1985). By the means of the written questionnaire, a basic data about the probands were found out, especially about their interest in the physical activity and their involvement in the sport activity. To determine the optimal weight or overweight, the body mass index BMI was used. By the probands, the BMI was calculated from their recorded body weight and height, using the personal scale Salter 9204WH3R and standalone measure Tanita HR-001. Results: It was discovered 68 % of the tested probands have a faulty posture, and by 32 % of the probands, a flatfoot among 1ř to 3ř occurred. Next, it was found out that a...
