The theme of this thesis is finswimming as a leisure and performance activity - comparison of motivational factors in both training areas. The work is diveded into two parts. The first part is theoretical, in which is further described the finswimming sport, limiting motivational factors affecting children, who are engaged in this sport; and other factors, which during the training process have a motivating effect on the children or, on contrary, demotivate them. The training process is divided into two areas focused on leisure and performance activity. The empirical part of this thesis, within which also deals with this topic research was implemented in the form of a questionnaire method. Motivational factors of children and their coaches were inquired. This work describes the established reality and puts it into context. The results are expressed in graphs. This is a pilot cross-sectional study that can serve both to deeper research and to streamline coaching practice in the given area.

This diploma thesis takes interest in the issue of physical activities of children with cystic fibrosis, in possible impacts of such activities on clinical condition, in options of prescription of physical activities based on the actual clinical state of a person with cystic fibrosis, and in options of objectification of changes induced by an exercise programme. The theoretic part of this thesis summarizes the current findings about cystic fibrosis, therapy and physical activities in the context of prognosis of patients with cystic fibrosis. In experimental part, we performed examinations on few participants, who were willing to perform a home-based exercise programme. Also, we made a short exploratory questionnaire focused on the attitude of children with cystic fibrosis towards physical exercises. Methodology: We observed the evolution of maximal oxygen uptake VO2max, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and of the scores of 1- minute sit-to-stand test (1-MSTST).

Autoři se zabývají monitorování fyzické zátěže u studentů oboru Zdravotnický záchranář FZS ZČU pomocí sporttesterů při modelových situací v rámci projektu „Koncept koordinace a realizace přeshraniční spolupráce zdravotnických záchranných služeb (číslo projektu. 30)“ pracovně nazývaný GÜRD (GrenzÜberschreitenderRettungsDienst). Výsledky jsou získány od 21 respondentů z průběhu 3 cvičení, v rámci, kterých studenti řešili minimálně 4 modelové situace. Porovnání fyzické zátěže je hodnoceno v rozdílech mezi muži a ženami a dále u studentů s nadváhou a statistickou oporou. Z výsledků vyplývá, že i modelové situace jsou pro zasahující zdravotnické záchranáře fyzicky náročné. Dále že zátěž, kterou ženy v rámci cvičení absolvovaly, je statistiky významně vyšší než fyzická zátěž u mužů. Statisticky významně je také vyšší fyzická náročnost u respondentů s nadváhou než u respondentek s BMI v normě. V diskuzi je pojednáno o možnostech fyzické přípravy, kterou by studenti mohli absolvovat v průběhu studia a položeny otázky, kterými by se měli odborníci zabývat v přípravě zdravotnických záchranářů pro takto fyzicky náročné povolání. The authors deal with the monitoring of physical burdens for medical rescuer students of the FZS ZČU using sporttesters in model situations under the project "Concept of coordination and implementation of cross-border cooperation of medical emergency services (Project number. (30)', called GÜRD (GrenzÜberschreitenderRettungsDienst). The results are obtained from 21 respondents in course of 3 exercises, when students solved at least 4 model situations. The physical load is compared between the group of men and women, as well as in the overweight group. The results show that even the model situations are physically demanding for the intervening medical emergency service personnel. Furthermore, women who underwent the exercise faced significantly higher physical burden than men. There is also a statistically significant increase in physical intensity in overweight respondents in comparison to those with normal BMI values. The possibilities of physical training that students could undertake during their studies and the questions that should be addressed by experts in the training of medical rescuers for such physically demanding professions are discussed in the article.

EFFECT OF THE BASIC MEZOCYKLE TO CHANGE THE GAME CONDITION WITH THE PROGRESSIVE LOAD FOR YOUTH FOOTBALL PLAYERS The aim of this work was to find out whether the use of specific fitness acquisition models (Verheijen, Owen) is more effective as the use of a non-specific model (control group) in elite youth U17 soccer players and whether a player can be equally conditioned in a 4-week period cycle (Owen) compared to a 6-week cycle (Verheijen) or a conventional (non-specific) mesocycle. Methods: The sample consisted of 3 groups of 16 players (n = 48; Age = 16,02±0,78; Height = 178,6±9,8; Weight = 69±10,6; ECM/BCM = 0,8±0,13; FFM = 61,4±9,8). 39 players have completed the whole research and were divided into groups EXP1, EXP2 and KON. The EXP1 group underwent a Verheijen (2000) training program, where large interval games (LSG) also appeared. The sond EXP2 group underwent an intervention program according to Owen et. al. (2012). The third group underwent a training mesocycle with a classic model that was a combination of general and non-specific fitness training. This model consisted mainly of runs (non-specific preparation) and large forms of games at the end of practice. This third group functioned as a control group. Laboratory testing always took place in the Human Movement Laboratory (LSM) of the...

This diploma thesis deals with workload of social service workers in special regime homes. The aim of this paper is to chart the factors influencing workload of social service workers in special regime homes. The main research question asked is: How do social service workers in special regime homes perceive their workload subjectively? The thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a research part. The theoretical part is divided into five chapters which are based on professional literature. The chapters contain a detailed description of the profession of social service workers including professional qualifications together with the definition of the social service - special regime home. The term strain is defined and divided into workload, mental strain and physical strain in the following chapter together with a mention of the term work-life balance in connection with this topic. The subsequent chapter is dedicated to prevention of inception of strain, more precisely to supervision and mental health hygiene. The last chapter deals in detail with occupational burnout. The research part contains the specifications of the aim of the thesis, of the main research question and of five research sub-questions which have been based on the main one. The data have been collected by means of qualitative research, survey methodology and the semi-structured interview method. A specific special regime home in the Vysočina region has been selected for the purposes of this research. The nine participants in the research are social service workers who have been employed at the facility for a minimum of one year. The research was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, a preliminary research was done to serve as a base for adjusting the research questions. The actual research was realised in the next phase. The acquired data were processed using the clustering method and evaluated subsequently. The evaluated data are ordered in relation to the research questions. The social service workers cope with the workload well. They consider their work to be not only physically but also substantially mentally demanding. Manipulating with bedridden clients is viewed as the most physically challenging operation by the facility workers. The most mentally challenging situations for them are the decease of clients, incessant explaining, dealing with clients, etc. The workers experience stressful situations with clients, however more frequently with clients' families as well. The most common work-related health problems of the workers at the facility are backaches. The results of this diploma thesis can serve the selected special regime home in the Vysočina region or as a study material to the lay and professional public.

The thesis entitled Nurse as a representative of a healthy lifestyle consists of two main parts, one theoretical and one practical. The theoretical part consists of theoretical knowledge of the nurses´ lifestyle coming from their profession, topics related to the personality of general nurses, nurses´ lifestyle and mental hygiene. The practical part of the thesis is a quantitative research, which is based on responds of 193 nurses in a questionnaire survey about the impact of education on adherence on a healthy lifestyle. Research shows that most nurses know well the factors of a healthy life style which they could potentially have influence on, however they are not able to apply this knowledge to their life style. Education on correct healthy lifestyle and length of practice has no impact on nurses´ healthy lifestyle and their families. Discussion and conclusion summarize the research results.

Work in the given field is very varied. The nurse is responsible for sufficient material resources, readiness of the working area and correct function of the anesthesiological instruments. After the patient is brought to the theatre the nurse needs to ensure several tasks, assist the surgeon, check physiological functions of the patient during surgery, keep nurse documentation and after the operation she is responsible for the clean-up of the operating room and final check of the anesthesiological instruments. The responsibilities of the nurse as well as the working environment are described in detail, particularly regarding the psychological pressure the work requires. The work is further aimed at the physical load this job involves.Single aim was chosen for the research part of this work: to find what mental and physical load the nurses experience. Results for the research part of this work were obtained based on qualitative research in the form of in-depth interviews completed by two standardised questionnaires. The research was conducted for ten randomly chosen anesthesiological nurses working at operation theatres at the hospital in České Budějovice after approval from the head nurse of the hospital.Six categories emerged through the conducted analysis comprising the meaning of employment for the anaesthesiology nurses, mental load of the occupation, handling that load, relationship among the staff and working condition of the nurses.

In this thesis, I shall discuss the importance of supporting caregivers. I will focus primarily on the introduction and description of problematic phenomena related to caring, to the caregiver's role, then of delivering care and its species. In subsequent chapters I will focus on the pitfalls of care and the implications for caring. Next, I will dedicate the positive aspects of care. At work I will also support informal care from the state. I provide overview of options that can help them in caring for a related. At thesis I try to highlight the care provided by amateurish carers about the importance of their support and also to outline the positive aspects of care. Family carers deserve admiration. Their strength and conviction in many cases is unimaginable. Caregivers must overcome many obstacles and still manage most of the care.

The basic theoretical background: It is known that the profession of nurses is very physically and mentally challenging. Otherwise, it is not even for nurses in the operating room. The work of nurses in operating rooms is highly specialized and demanding profession that requires specific skills and knowledge primarily because the operating rooms is very specific and puts high demands on the technical and material equipment, flawless organization work and to perfect the principles of antisepsis and asepsis. It's about challenging, diverse activities, including the preparation of operating material, devices, apparatus, instruments and sterilization. The correct execution of all these activities, the profession ranks between occupation with time pressure, physical stress and irregular rhythm of life and professions, in which psychological and physical depletion of reserves means not only a danger to themselves, but also the health of the patient. The objectives of the work: To meet the main intent of the work were established two objectives. The first goal is to find out what type of workload for nurses in perioperative care predominates. The second goal is to compare the differences of the workload for novice and long - term working nurses in perioperative care. Hypothesis: Depending on the set objectives have been identified four hypotheses. H1: the incidence of psychological burden for nurses in perioperative care predominates over the occurrence of physical exertion. H2: for nurses working less than three years in perioperative care is the presence of psychic load higher than for senior sisters. H3: for nurses working for more than three years in perioperative care is the presence of physical load higher than the sisters with less length of practice. H4: the workload of nurses in perioperative care does not differ from the standard, based on the Meister´s method of assessing workload. Methodology: Research method of quantitative inquiry of research using the techniques of a standardised questionnaire, supplemented by their own questions. The questionnaire was completely anonymous and respondents ' participation in the research was voluntary. Were used two standardized questionnaires. The first questionnaire was elected from Maister, which assesses the impact of work on the psyche of the individual. The second questionnaire was used as a working activity from Baecky, which is used to measure physical activity. The target group were the nurses working in the perioperative care. In total, were interviewed across nine hospitals of the Czech Republic. All selected Hospital have agreed to perform the research investigation to this thesis. The results obtained were statistically processed. Conclusion: The work provides information about what type of workload predominate for nurses in perioperative care and about the differences of the workload for starting and working nurses in perioperative care. The results of the thesis can be used by medical facilities to identify the workload for nurses in perioperative care and by the perioperative nurses. From the above results, it is clear that the issue of mental and physical loads primarily nurses in the operating room is a very current topic, and it is important to deal with manifestations of this load. In addition to this thesis was created, information material on the prevention of the workload and the methods of its elimination.

This diploma thesis deals with the physical burden for teachers in kindergartens in relation to the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders among teachers. The main objective was to examine the physical demands of the profession of preschools educational staff. The work is divided into theoretical part and practical part.The research was conducted using qualitative method of semi-structured interviews with kindergartens teachers and LIFT / BEND score calculation. Fifteen teachers from three of kindergartens in the South Bohemian region participated in this research. Data from the interviews were evaluated by encoding method according to Švaříček and Šedivová (2007) and divided into schemes with a description. LIFT/BEND score was calculated according to Kovářová (2006) methodology. The calculation was based on the evaluation of the frequency of lifting, bending and handling of children.Reasearch questions were also answerd during the reasearch. The first research question contains "Is there a difference in the frequency of performing physically challenging activities in relation to the length of work experience in preschool facilities?" It was found that there is no difference between teachers in physical performance in relation to the length the practice. The analysis was performed using the LIFT / BEND score calcutation and testimonies of teachers in the interviews. The majority of teachers with the length of service over 20 years stated that avoids positions and activities that are unpleasant to them, such as kneeling, tying childrens shoes, bending over tables and more. Frequency of activities between younger and older teachers are not much different, but differ in subjective way of carrying out physically demanding tasks. The second research question is: "Is age a significant variable in the occurrence of musculoskeletal diseases?" From the primary perspective can be determined that age gains more musculoskeletal trouble, but according to the testimony of teachers and statistical evaluation, this relationship has not been confirmed. Age of teachers is not prerequisite for the development of musculoskeletal problems. According to nonparametric Spearman correlation this relationship is not statistically significant.From the findings of this research as well as international authors who have examined the relationship between physical load of lifting and bending while performing work in the so-called helping profession, age factor and length of service exhibits no significant importance, and vice versa occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders significantly affects the way of carrying out these activities in terms of their proper implementation. Therefore it should be ensured that teachers recieve education in health during preparations for their future careers.

This diploma thesis focuses on free time activities of elementary school teachers in relation with their perception of workload. In the theoretical part the teacher's characteristics are mentioned, but it primarily focuses on workload and teachers' free time activities. The topics are seen through multiple points of view. Different segments of workload and types of free time are presented. Empirical part is elaborated using in-depth interview with chosen elementary school teachers. The main goal of this research was to uncover, how much the workload influences teachers' spending of their free time and how are they coping with the workload. Participants of this research are coping with the workload well and they are spending their free doing activities completely different from their profession. Most mentioned activities were physical activities, manual labor and sport.

Theoretical base: Safety of the Healthcare personnel is one of the key aspects in the good and safe care of patients. There are many risks threatening nurses while doing their daily job. It's necessary to perform a detailed identification, analysis and assessment of these risks. These processes lead to improved work life of general nurses and clients' stay in the healthcare facility. Important s of the theoretical part are chapters concerning the accreditation and certification of the healthcare facilities helping to achieve safe environment. Objective: The objective of this study is to identify risks for nurses while performing their medical profession, to analyze the problem of their physical workload, nosocomial infections and the risk of sharps injuries. Another objective is to describe preventive mechanisms of compliance with work safety standards and how they are perceived by nurses. The main objective is to analyze the overall standpoint of nurses towards risks in a way to show their individual perception. Methods: Form of qualitative research was chosen with in-depth interviews in order to fully understand risk perception of nurses. Thanks to using the pre-prepared thoughtful open questions, a number of extensive answers could be collected that illustrate various themes of work. After processing the interviews a subsequent coding and categorization of data took place. These categories have also been used for a survey of the results in the discussion. Participants: Intentionally ten nurses of different ages, length of service, department, and finally, opinions and standpoints have been chosen. Interviewed nurses are working in one of the hospitals in Central Bohemia. Size of the study sample was determined by theoretical saturation of data. Results: The results of the research are divided into seven categories, according to the data. Nurses are aware of the risks they face. They are able to name, describe risky behavior and prevention mechanisms that prevent the onset of these risks. Nurses demonstrated basic knowledge regarding nosocomial infections, but in the barrier care there is still room for a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and approaches that can help to reduce the frequency of nosocomial infections. Nurses are also aware of the risks that arise from excessive physical workload and they tend to eliminate them through sports. Another risk that nurses realized and considered as the most threatening, is the risk of sharp objects injuries. Although aware of this fact, the research shows that nurses do not comply with the preventive measures, despite they know them. Nurses have a rather negative attitude towards training regarding health and safety at work. This is due to poor quality in processing of such trainings. They have a positive attitude towards education, but they realize that trainings for general nurses which might be interesting are not for free and they take place usually during their free time. Conclusions and recommendations for practice: This work highlights the weak points in this topic and tries to look into the attitudes, feelings and concerns of nurses, which are related to the riskiness of such profession. Nurses should be aware of their importance to society and should take responsibility not only for performed procedures, but also for their own safety. Among the recommendations, which could minimize the risks associated with the performance of nursing profession, is the implementation of rigorous training of health and safety at work and quality of training provided by healthcare facilities.

The topic of the bachelor thesis is vacuum training and its influence on chosen anthropometric parameters and fit parameters with women who are over 40 years old.

The work is divided into a theoretical and a research part. The definition of walking technique of Nordic walking, its benefits and its effects, is defined in the theoretical part. There are also described body structure indicators and a physical activity influence on the organism. There is a study sample characteristic, the methods which were used and the overall evaluation of results in the research part. The educational material intended for measured probands is in the appendix.

Bachelor thesis with topic Anaerobic exercise and its influence on the health of the woman is focusing on physical fitness changes during a 6-week training cycle. Thesis is devided into two parts: theoretical and research. In theoretical part I define aerobic and anaerobic exercises, their advantages, effects and also disadvantages. There is also description of the meaning of the active life style and selfmeaning of women in sociaty and influance of physical fitness on women's health. In research part I focuse on characteristic research of the problem and complex rating of the reaseach measurement.

My diploma work is focusing on the health problems of selected factors in the working enviroment of grinding the metal castings. There are high-risk factors, which are harmful to worker´s health, especially physical stress, noise, dust and vibrations, which are passed on hands. The employer is under the obligation to take precautions to carry on worker´s health, in consideration of exceed the health limits. The aim of this diploma work was setting the efficiency of precautions to health protection in work enviroment. The situation had been monitoring in a company in the South Bohemia over ten years. There were used results of factor´s precautions (noise, dust, vibrations) in work enviroment, where workers grind the metal castings by hand grinders. The monitoring ensemble was created by employess in a company, which makes the metal castings by hand grinders in its work enviroment. To data collecting were used the following methods: non-aligned observation, conversation with the chief of the company, studying of positive law and technical literature incl. test codes of the health institute (department Ceske Budejovice). The data of the test codes were processed by the secundary analysis and summarized to tables and graphs. Within qualitative analysis I determinated four research questions, which were answered gradually in my work: 1)Which precautions are carry out by employers to particular factors of employee´s health protection? 2)What is the factor´ s efficiency? 3)What impact do the precautions have on results of factor´s measuring? 4)Which precautions can I recommend on the grounds of the evalutation of the work enviroment? Both means of collective and individual protection belong to the precautions of worker´s health protection today. The technical, technologiacal and organisational precautions are included to collective protections. The individual precautions are focusing especially on employees and offer the substitute solutions. All precautions are specific to individual factors. I found out, that all precautions, which are used by the employers in work enviroment of metal casting, are effective. Especially we can talk about the precautions to protection of employee´s health against excessive dust (instalation of air ventilation with strong effect), which caused the exceed of dust concetration in work enviroment of grinding. Finally I can say, that this branch of metal casting has been connecting with certain high-risk factors all the time. Although all the protective precautions has been realized, the health limits given for noise, vibrations passed on hands and dust are still exceed. For this reason it´s very important to regularly inform the workers of high-risk factors, which they could meet in their work enviroment of cast grinding.

Theoretical background Infectious mononucleosis belongs to relatively widespread viral infectious diseases in the Czech Republic. Epstein-Baar virus (EBV) participates in occurrence of the infection by 80 %, infectious mononucleosis may more rarely be caused by cytomegalovirus. Each individual factually suffers from infection caused by EBV during his/her life, however its course is unapparent in most cases. An affected individual or an individual not affected, who is a virus carrier may be considered the source of the infection. Infectious mononucleosis usually affects children and teenagers, in older individuals the infection is quite rare. The disease might start rapidly or gradually with prodromes like headache, sore throat, nausea, fatigue and perspiration. Infectious mononucleosis is often confused with other diseases like e.g. tonsillitis, or more serious progress of flue, particularly for the symptoms accompanying the disease. Fever, lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly are the most frequent symptoms. The disease may also cause numerous unpleasant complications, particularly hematologic, neurologic, cardio-pulmonary and autoimmunity complications. A nurse plays a very substantial role in client care. It is very important for a nurse to have sufficient knowledge and to know the right procedure of all interventions he/she meets within diagnostics and treatment of infectious mononucleosis. These are particularly biological material collection, per os administration or intravenous administration of medicines. A nurse should also be familiar with the Priessnitz compress application technique. In non-self-sufficient clients a nurse is also responsible for client's hygiene. A nurse has an important role in client education providing information on dietetic measures. A nurse has to lead a client to adherence to the prescribed diet and body calm. Everything depends on client's current condition. A client should also avoid mental strain during convalescence. We should note that not all forms of infectious mononucleosis require hospitalization. The aim of the thesis The aim of the thesis was to find out the role of nurses in the care of patients with infectious mononucleosis and also to find how satisfied patients with the nursing care and education are after going through mononucleosis. This was why the following research questions were chosen: What is the role of a nurse in care of a patient with mononucleosis? How satisfied are patients with the nursing care after going through mononucleosis? How satisfied are patients with education in diet regime adherence after going through mononucleosis? Applied Methods Qualitative research was chosen for finding out the required information. The information was gained by means of deep interviews with nurses working at the infectious department of České Budějovice Hospital and with clients after going through infectious mononucleosis. All the interviews were recorded on a voice recorder and then transcribed. The transcribed interviews were subject to detailed analysis by the paper and pencil method with open coding. Results Six categories were set upon analysis of the interviews with nurses: Awareness of the infectious mononucleosis disease among nurses, Nursing care of a client with infectious mononucleosis, Regime measures, Information on dietetic measures, Recommendations after infectious mononucleosis and Education of a client with infectious mononucleosis. Five categories were set upon detailed analysis of the interviews with the clients: Recommended treatment, Nursing care, Recommended measures, Methods of information communication and Information sources for clients. Subcategories, in which the key data are coded, are assigned to the individual categories.

This bachelor´s thesis looks at the range load in the casualty department. The nursing care is focused on working with people, especially with the sick and is highly demanding, both physically and mentally. When working as a nurse, it is required to be professional and also have the ability of dealing with the unexpected and difficult situations. The knowledge of nursing care and the specific care in the injury area are also very important aspects. Nurses hold a position of responsibility and other people rely on them, they have to be responsible and accountable for their own decisions and actions as well as the results of their work have to be flawless. Another very important point is the mutual collaboration between nurses and local doctors, because just with the mutual help effective and quality care can be achieved.Two aims have been established in this thesis. The first aim: To map out the range of the nursing load in the casualty department. The second aim: To find out if nurses feel more physical or mental stress. Two research questions have been posed. The first research question: What is the nursing load in the casualty department? The second research question: Do nurses in the casualty department perceive more the physical or mental load? The practical part of this bachelor thesis involves the result of the qualitative research investigation. The results have been obtained through a semi-structured interview, which had been realized with the help of nurses who work in the casualty department in the South Bohemian region. In total twelve nurses have been spoken to. All the informations was completely anonymous and all of the respondents had the chance to reject being part of this interview.

This diploma thesis deals with the psychical and physical stress of nurses working in anesthesiology and intensive medicine. In the theoretical part, the problems of psychical and physical stress are presented, as well as the role of nurses and their activities undertaken in the units of anesthesiology and intensive care. The practical part deals with a research that aims to obtain data revealing indicators of mental and physical stress of nurses working in anaesthesiology and intensive medicine. The research took place in four selected hospitals in their departments of anesthesiology and intensive care and intensive care units of neurosurgical clinics. Respondents were divided into two groups - respondents of anesthesiology and intensive care and respondents from department of neurosurgery. Groups were compared and results are presented in tables and graphs. Key words Anesteziology, intensit medicine, roles of nurses, physical stress, psychological stress, departemnt of ICU

The subject matter of this bachelor´s thesis is a mental and a physical strain on nurses working at anaesthesiology-resuscitation ward (ARO). Nurses' work is generally regarded as extremely demanding both physically and mentally. Nurses at intensive care are exposed to very high demands that are for them mentally and physically strenuous. Daily encounter with human pain, suffering, dying and death. At the same time, the nurse is exposed to a high physical workload, especially in nursing care, which is associated with the constant handling of immobile patients or patients with very limited movement and unconscious people. A substantial part is also caused by an underpowered staffing, from which it follows overwork-overtime. The aim of this paper is to refresh awareness about these loads that are placed on nurses and also to point out the possibilities which are and options that can help nurses to prevent the consequences of mental and physical overload and reduce the burden to the lowest possible level. To meet the intent of the thesis, there were three goals set up. Goal n. 1: To determine, whether nurses working at ARO are using procedures to reduce physical stress. Goal n. 2: To determine, whether nurses working at ARO use the opportunity to protect health from mental stress. Goal n. 3: To determine, whether the level of psychological stress of nurses working at ARO is greater than the rate of physical activity. There were three research questions defined. Research question n. 1: Are nurses working at ARO using aids to reduce physical exertion? Research question n. 2: Are nurses working at ARO using available options to protect health against increased mental strain? Research question n. 3: Is the level of psychological stress for nurses working at ARO greater than the rate of physical activity? The research sample consisted of nurses working in Anesthesiology and Resuscitation (ARO) in hospitals in Písek, Český Krumlov, Tábor, Jindřichův Hradec and České Budějovice. A quantitative research has been used in order to achieve a practical result of the work . The method of quantitative data collection, using non-standardized anonymous questionnaire, has been used in order to obtain the information. The research showed that although the sisters´ work at ARO is very challenging so mentally so physically, which was proved by a high percentage of both types of drains, the rate of mental stress reached higher level in the research study, and so the research question of the degree of mental and physical stress of nurses at ARO has been answered. Another part of the research was about the possibilities of health protection against mental stress, both in terms of personal options of sisters and possibilities that nurses´ organization offers. This part showed that nurses use their personal possibilities of the mental hygiene methods and also options available for mental health offered by the organization. So the research question, whether nurses working at ARO are using available options to protect their health from increased psychological burden, has been answered. The last part of the survey dealt with tools and techniques which helps to reduce physical exertion for nurses working at ARO. The investigation revealed that nurses consider the material-technical equipment for workplaces as sufficient and that they use it. So the result is that the research question of whether nurses working at ARO use aids to reduce physical stress, has been answered. The outcome of the thesis, will be providing hospitals, where the research was conducted, the research results, mainly in order to increase the quality of work of the nursing team, to improve prevention of the health protection against excessive mental and physical stress in the workplace.

4 - Abstract Adaptation to hypoxia or exercise training has cardioprotective effects against acute ischemic injury, but can potentially negatively influence heart function. Possible negative changes depend on the degree of hypoxia and exercise training intensity. It is therefore necessary to evaluate the effects of the specific adaptation protocols used. The ideal technique is echocardiography, which enables non-invasive, repeated and long-term measurements of the same individual allowing to study the development of changes in the course of adaptation. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of selected protocols of adaptation to intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (corresponding to the altitude of 4,000 to 8,000 meters above sea level, for 15 weeks in total) and exercise training (running speed 30 m.min-1 for 60 min a day, 4 weeks in total) on the left ventricle geometry and systolic function in rats. We assessed basic echocardiographic parameters of the ventricle geometry and function such as fractional shortening, ejection fraction, stroke volume, cardiac output etc. The adaptation of rats to intermittent hypobaric hypoxia lead neither to the impairment of systolic function nor to the development of left ventricle hypertrophy compared to controls; signs of moderate hypertrophy were observed only...

Titles Effect of maximum heart rate on accuracy of fire Objectives The goal of this work will be to examine the influence of maximum heart rate on accuracy of fire from the personal defensive gun (pistol), whereas a reference will be used the deviation in accuracy of fire. The group of respondents consists of members of the Police of the Czech republic. Methods It is the empirical work of observational character. To establish statistical significance we used independent samples, paired T - test. For statistical evaluations of the results we used methods of comparison and comparison of averages. To evaluate the shooting targets we used numerical method of detecting the mean point of impact. To establish the maximum heart rate we used sporttester. Results From the measured data was drawn this conclusion. The maximum heart rate has statisticaly significant effect on accuracy of fire. The accuracy of fire is expressed by average distances of single points of impact from the central point of impact. We found out that the performed activity could have had the impact on the size of the differences before and after the activity. Keywords shooting, physical stress, resting heart rate, maximum heart rate

The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the work environment of quarries. Four research questions were asked: What factors can be determined in the working environment of quarries? Are hygienic limits of the monitored factors in the work environment of quarries respected? What measures to protect the health of workers in the quarries are applied by the employers? Are the proposed measures to protect employees' health effective? The bachelor thesis was conducted as qualitative research. Conditions in two quarries in the South Bohemian Region were studied. For data collection, the technique of direct, disinterested and obvious observation, the study of professional literature, legislation, trial protocols and the findings obtained from interviews with managers were used. The data were processed by content analysis. In the theoretical part, I focused on individual risk factors in the work environment of quarries and on health risk assessment. In the practical part, I compared the measurement results with the health limits set out in Government Regulation No. 361/2007 Coll. laying down the conditions of health protection in the workplace, as amended, and in Government Regulation No. 272/2011 Coll. that lays down hygienic limits of noise and vibration. Individual professions were categorized according to Decree No. 432/2003 Coll., as amended. The factors assessed in the work environment of quarries were quarry dust, total and hand-transmitted vibrations, noise and physical strain. The lowest rated factors include dust and total vibrations. Hygienic limits were not always observed, and thus the employer is obliged to take measures to protect the health of employees. The most important step in the development of quarries is the purchase of new, modern machines and the overall modernization of production, resulting in reduction of the workers´ exposure to risk factors.

In this thesis, we focused on physical load evaluation of nurses working at intensive care units. Physical load is an integral part of nurses' everyday work. The work of the nurses in these wards is a very physically demanding one, as there is a risk or actual single or multiple organ systems failure in the hospitalized patients. This thesis describes the basic negative results of physical load, its aim was to determine the physical load at individual intensive care units. The theoretic part focuses on overall characteristics of ICU, movement system anatomy, ergonomics, working environment risks and excessive physical load consequences. Practical part includes quantitative research using a questionnaire to confirm the presumed hypotheses. Hypothesis 1: The nurses working at ICU are subject to higher physical load than nurses in standard care unit Hypothesis 2: The most common manifestation of nurses? physical load is back-pain Hypothesis 3: In ICU, there are tools helping with immobile patient manipulation Altogether, we distributed 200 questionnaires to the nurses at ICU in 3 hospitals in southern part of the Czech Republic - České Budějovice, Český Krumlov a Prachatice. We recovered 183 questionnaires (91, 5 %). After the processing, we analyzed 171 completely filled questionnaires (85, 5 %). The questionnaire research results have been interpreted and charted into graphs and tables. All the 3 hypotheses were confirmed. Further, we found out that nurses do not care about prevention of illnesses possibly resulting from high physical load. The theses results should help in increasing the nurses? awareness, I suggest its integration into human back school program.
