Title: The effect of Wim Hof breathing method in relation with sport climbing performance in all-out test Key words: sport climbing, hyperventilation, breathing exercise Objectives: The study is aimed to determine if there is an impact of Wim Hof breathing method on power performance of finger flexors during intermittent load. Methods: The thesis was made as an experimental study with ten volunteers, who are active sport climbers. They filled-out questionnaire and gave their consent to participate in the study. After that, they went through the all-out test of finger flexors twice. One time they did Wim Hof breathing method before their performance and one time they didn't. This succession was determined by random selection. The results of both tests were compared and assessed by Student t-test. Results: The main outcome value, work impuls, didn't vary. The impuls without previous Wim Hof breathing method was 4477 ± 14,3 kg.s and with Wim Hof breathing method 4385 ± 13,8 kg.s. There was only one outcoming value from the all-out test, which was varying on level of significance α = 5% (the repetitions of critical force). None of others 10 figures from the all-out test didn't vary. The Borg rating of perceived exertion didn't vary as well. Conclusions: This diploma thesis didn't confirm that Wim Hof...

Title: Possibilities of using the Wim Hof method as a regenerative procedure and its comparison with the regenerative cooling procedure Department: Department of Health Physical Education and Sport Medicine Supervisor: MUDr. Simona Majorová Objectives: The main goal of the thesis was to find out whether the Wim Hof method can be effectively used as a regenerative procedure between the training units, second goal was to judge on which components of after-load states the procedure has the biggest influence on. The other goals were to briefly summarize current knowledge about the basics of sports training, regeneration methods and methods of determining the effectiveness of regeneration procedures and to compare our results with knowledge in the professional literature. Methods: As one of the methods, we used heart rate monitoring during the training cycle. The second monitored parameter was the values of feeling states, which were recorded using scales modeled on the Borg scales of perceived intensity and pain. The parameters of the resulting sensation score are sleep quality, mental state, fatigue and leg pain. 10 active sportsmen aged 21-26 took part in the research. Results: The results of our research suggest that the Wim Hof method could be used as a regeneration procedure, especially in...

Author: Zuzana Marková Title of bachelor's thesis: Physiotherapy Case Study of a Patient after Lumbar Spine Surgery Objectives: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to summarize theoretical knowledge of diagnosis of spondylosis with radiculopathy. Further, this knowledge will be practically used while working with my patient, whose case study was elaborated in the practical part of my thesis. Methods: To compose the theoretical part of the thesis, a literar research was done. The practical work with my patient consisted of taking medical history, kinesiological examination and therapy based on the results of the examination. The metods chosen for the therapy are: The Vojta Method, the sensorimotor stimulation by Janda and Vávrová, breathing exercises, basic fitness exercises and gait training. The therapy was finished by control kinesiological examination. Result: After the series of therapy, the patient's condition was better. His stability of gait improved and he was able to walk for a longer distance continually, from 50 metres at the beggining to 200 metres at the end of the therapies. Also, the differences in circuits of the lower extremities were smaller, the range of movement was higher and the muscles were stronger in some areas. Conclusion: I had the opportunity to perform all the...
