Physical activity levels among college students during the pandemic - a narrative review
No full textThe period of the pandemic and government restrictions introduced many changes in health-promoting behaviors among college students. It is known that insufficient levels of physical activity are associated with a number of chronic diseases and mental health disorders. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of the current state of art regarding the level of physical activity during the pandemic among students in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Analysis of included studies revealed a decrease in the level of physical activity.

Walking as a means of influencing fitness, well-being and mental well-being
No full textThe current lifestyle is characterize by an ever-increasing deficit of physical activity, which results in a reduction in the fitness of the population and a demonstration of health complications that are associated with reduced fitness. One of the most effective and safest physical activities is walking, which, with sufficient load intensity, significantly reduces the physical deficit, but also has a number of health benefits and significantly affects the preconditions for physical activity. In addition to physical fitness and health, walking also affects an individual's psyche, depression, aggression and anxiety. In the communication, we present an overview of the formative and preventive effects of walking as well as the principles of designing a walking-based exercise program.

What virtual reality can do for sport? A narrative review of the literature
No full textBackground: The physical fitness ofathletes is well above the average ofnormal people. In addition, the responsetime has to be much better to reach thechampionship level, therefore the trainingdemands have changed greatly over thedecades. Traditional exercise will always bea fundamental factor in training, however,new technologies have to be considered inorder to maximize their effectiveness. Anexample of a technology is Virtual Reality(VR), where the athlete's "awareness" to apurpose-built world, where they can gainexperience and skills similar to theconditions during the competition. The aimof this narrative review was to determinethe utilization of VR in training ofcompetitive athletes. Methods: A literaturereview using PubMed has been conductedto examine the current state of the art inthe available literature using VR in theaspect of competitive sports. For thecomplete review 157 articles on the use ofVR in sports were identified, but no articleindicated competitive sports. After theindividual sports search, 6 articles wereadopted for this review of the literature.Results: The presented research resultsshow positive results with the use of VR forathletes on academic level. Not only dothey improve the response time indecision-making during competitions, butthey also have the opportunity to learnnew schemes for use in competitions morequickly. The presented articles describe theperformance of competitive athletes at theacademic championship level, so there isstill a lack of confirmed research on topathletes in the available literature.Conclusions: Based on the limited number of scientific articles available, it can beassumed that the use of Virtual Reality hasa positive impact even on the developmentof competitive athletes in order to achievethe best possible performance and ne
The role of swimming in preserving health
No full textThe health of the Hungarian population is extremely poor. All of this is influenced by a number of components such as a sedentary lifestyle, inadequate nutrition, but stress is also a serious risk factor in people’s lives. It is worth taking various preventive measures against the negative effects, of which swimming can be an excellent tool. Swimming is a sport that people consider to be one of the healthiest. In our research, we were curious about how people view this form of movement and whether they are aware of the areas in which it exerts its multifaceted positive impact. We sought answers to these and similar questions in our research. The study involved 126 people, all over the age of 40 (mean age 49.84 years). People over the age of 40 already think differently about their health, as the problems that characterize our society are already emerging. 67% of the the monitored group had some form of the disease. Stress is present in 21.4% of people surveyed, musculoskeletal disorders in 18.25%, obesity in 17.4%, hypertension in 15.5%, and allergies or asthma in 15%. The incidence of cardiovascular disease in the study sample was 11%, respiratory disease 7.1%, diabetes 5.5%, osteoporosis 4.7%, and cancer incidence 3.9%, 3.9% have other diseases. Our method was online interviewing. Our results show that the multifaceted, positive effects of swimming are largely known to humans. 89.6% of the sample believe that swimming is very or significantly useful in the case of problems affecting the support system, 81.7% also in the improvement of posture, 70.6% in the case of cardiovascular diseases as well. 70.6% of the sample is aware of the positive role of swimming in relieving stress. In the case of cardiovascular diseases and cancers, which are the most common in Hungary, we found that although swimming is considered effective (70.6%) in relation to cardiovascular diseases, its role is not considered to be as effective. such as for spinal problems. It is considered less effective in the case of hypertension (46.7%), while only 23.8% of respondents consider it to be relevant in the case of cancer. 75% of participants consider the sport to be beneficial in relation to obesity, while only 43.6% consider it to be so in relation to diabetes.

Analysis of the slackline training impact on human balance- a preliminary report of a randomized trial
No full textThe development of civilization resulted in the creation of many new sports disciplines. Many of them are still unexplored and the effects and benefits of exercise remain unclear. One of these sports is slacklining, which seems to affect the balance of trainees. The aim of the study was to analyze changes in human balance after a supervised slackline training session. The study enrolled 10 healthy volunteers who were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Each participant underwent an initial and a final balance assessment using the Tandem Walk protocol on the Balance Master platform. The intervention lasted 5 days, with 15 minutes of supervised training per day. Changes in balance after training were considered as a primary outcome. The analysis of the data showed no significant changes in step width, speed and end sway parameters of Tandem Walk test for both experimental and control group. The results suggest that 5-days, 15-minutes slackline training does not affect the parameters of the task-specific Tandem Walk balance test.

Review of book " Základy klinického výskumu"
No full textOrientation in science is a challengingissue. Choosing the right literature is akey factor in mastering this issue. Inthe introductory part, the author dealswith the importance of basic researchknowledge. The author expresses theidea that in the past he made severalmistakes from which he learned andthis led to better scientific results.Several methodological errors inconducting research are a commonphenomenon, especially for beginningscientists, but these errors are oftenfound in experienced scientists who,after publishing an article, often knowthey could have done the studydifferently or better. In essence, thisalso clarifies the true meaning ofscience, namely to constantly improveefficiency in various areas of life.
