Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune neurodegenerative disease. This disease can manifest itself in many different neurological symptoms such as (gait and balance impairment, sensory deficits, muscle weakness, spasticity, bladder impairment, fatigue, cognitive impairment etc.). For successful disease management not only pharmacological treatment is important, but also a healthy lifestyle including regular physical activity. However, pandemic restrictions limited access to sport facilities and together with home-office regimen, increased the sedentary behaviour in all population. The pandemic level of physical activity in people with MS in the Czech Republic remains unclear. Therefore, using an online cross-sectional survey we aimed to evaluate physical activity (PA) level in people with MS during Covid-19 pandemic. Two hundred ninety-seven persons with MS filled out online survey, 83 % women, with a mean age 43.7 years (SD 11.3). Most respondents had mild to moderate disability (74 %). During pandemic year 2020, 23 % persons with MS ceased their PA, 18 % reduced their PA, 25 % continued their PA as before, 11 % increased their PA, and 20 % did not perform any PA in the past and did not do so during the pandemic. Aerobic activity was the main type of performed PA, followed by health exercise and yoga. Total of 37 % people reported that their fitness level had decreased during the pandemic. Key words: Covid-19, physical activity, exercise, multiple sclerosis

Purpose: The early drop-out in professional youth athletes is a complex and multi factors process and seems to be more common in individual sports with higher physical demands, such as the running disciplines. Also, it has previously been reported that youth female athletes presented a higher drop-out rate compared with males. The present study, therefore, investigated the causes of early-career termination and possible association with wellness and low energy availability in youth female runners. Methods: Data from four female runners (aged from 22 to 24 years) from the Slovakian national team in running disciplines who have ended their careers early were collected. A semi-structured interview was performed to explore multiple factors (advent athletics, training, regeneration, sleep, diet, health, emotions, motivation, communication, environmental pressure, coach, habits, reasons for ending an athletic career and a better relationship with the sport) and the questionnaire about wellness and low energy availability in females (LEAF-Q). Results: The interview shows that the most common factors of early-career termination of a former runner were: an early specialization in the discipline, inadequate training dose-response (e.g., high intensity and insufficient recovery), pathological nutritional behaviour, health problems, psychological factors, and loss of motivation. The factors reported during the interview were associated with negative results of the wellness questionnaire (score 10±1.9) and with LEAF-Q (score 12±2.9). Conclusion: The study highlights the multi factors involved in early career termination. Based on the athletes’ reports, was possible to notice that the early sports specialization in running disciplines affected negatively their health, nutrition and psychological aspects, and could be triggered by higher training loads and insufficient recovery. Caution should be taken by coaches and professionals involved during the sports specialization, in order to minimize the negative impact of training routine on youth athletes and consequently avoid an early drop-out.

Purpose:The study aims at identifying the relationship between grit, coach leadership style, sports motivation and athlete’s satisfaction. Methods: Correlational studies are used to see the relationship between grit, coach leadership style, sports motivation and athlete’s satisfaction. Participants involved in this study are athletes in rowing (n=30). Grit, coach leadership style, sports motivation and athlete's satisfaction was assessed by Questionnaire. Nonparametric calculation through Spearman's Rank Correlation was used to test the relationship between the variables. Results: This study showed several results. First, there was a positive relationship between grit with sports motivation and athlete’s satisfaction (p<0.05). Second, there was a positive relationship between coach leadership style with sports motivation and athlete’s satisfaction (p<0.05). Conclusions:Thus, our research highlights the importance of a trainer's girt and leadership style to create a positive relationship with sports motivation and satisfaction in athletes in carrying out training activities.

Throughout history, many sports evolved from rituals performed at religious celebrations. In this light, it is clear that religion and sport are symbolic systems with shared values and goals. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the descriptive parameters of publications by visualizing citation patterns, extracting author keywords, and determining the impact and performance of research on religion and sports. An examination of 1,408 publications indexed in the Scopus and WoS databases was carried out from 1899 to 2022. The results show that after 2015, there was a considerable increase in sports and religion publications, with Scopus publications continuing to increase compared to WoS. The United States accounts for about 457 of the total global publications. Furthermore, with 19 documents, the title of the scientific source "Games and Economic Behavior" is the most active. In 170 documents, the keyword "physical activity" appears most frequently in this analysis. The trending topic with the largest absolute growth is "physical activity," while the trending topic with the largest relative growth is "osteoarthritis." Overall, the research in this field is evolving, with the development of new methodologies and channels for communicating vital lessons about values, culturally appropriate behaviour, and health scope. This study contributes to developing new concepts in the multidisciplinary study of the relationship between sport and religion. The significance of religious values in physical activity and in injuries suffered by athletes, as well as in the psychological development of athletes, is one area that can be studied in more depth.
纵观历史,许多运动都是从宗教庆典上的仪式演变而来的。从这个角度来看,很明显,宗教和体育是具有共同价值观和目标的象征性系统。本研究旨在通过可视化引用模式、提取作者关键词以及确定宗教和体育研究的影响和表现,全面概述出版物的描述性参数。从1899年到2022年,对Scopus和WoS数据库中检索的1408篇出版物进行了检查。结果表明,2015年以后,体育和宗教类出版物有了相当大的增长,Scopus类出版物相对于WoS持续增长。美国约占全球出版物总数的457份。此外,以《游戏与经济行为》(Games and Economic Behavior)为题的科学文献最多,共有19篇。在170份文件中,“体育活动”这个关键词出现的频率最高。绝对增长最多的热门话题是“体育活动”,相对增长最多的热门话题是“骨关节炎”。总的来说,这一领域的研究正在发展,发展了新的方法和渠道,以传播关于价值观、文化上适当的行为和健康范围的重要教训。本研究有助于在体育与宗教关系的多学科研究中发展新概念。宗教价值观在体育活动和运动员受伤以及运动员心理发展中的意义,是一个可以更深入研究的领域。

The main aim of this paper is manifested in the hypothesis that there is a statistically significant correlation between the length of an active wrestling career and selected attitudes and behaviours caused by the COVID-19 virus pandemic. The sample of respondents (N=131) consists of international wrestlers (average age 22.32±5.08 years) from all competition categories (seniors, senior juniors U23, juniors and cadets). The collected survey data were systematized based on obtained answers and numerical values and according to the instructions for interpretation of answers analysed with particle frequencies and descriptive statistics. Correlation analysis proved statistically significant negative association (r = - 0,19) between the length of an active wrestling career and the behaviour of wearing a protective mask during the COVID-19 virus pandemic. Observing all age groups, attitudes indicate concern about the infection of acquaintances, and the behaviour of wrestlers emphasizes the importance of washing hands, wearing masks, and using disinfectants. Wrestlers are also aware of the dangers of the virus for their careers and are informed and follow the instructions of experts.

Introduction: Ice hockey is a power-speed sport played on ice. The surface specification is very different from a normal surface, so it is important to look for the most appropriate measurements and specific off-ice tests that would better define ice-hockey performance. Therefore, the main purpose of this research was to determine the relationship of rate of force development (RFD) in back squat with commonly used off-ice and on-ice tests. Methods: The research involved 15 junior ice-hockey players (181.8 ± 4.1 cm; 80.7 ± 8.8 kg; 18.4 ± 0.9 yrs) playing in the highest competition of Czech hockey. Players performed all tests in one day divided into 2 blocks - off-ice block (OFF) in the morning and on-ice block (ON) in the afternoon, respectively. The OFF contained 30 m sprint test with 15 m split (SP15; SP30), plyometric tests (broad jump - BJ; countermovement jump - CMJ), and a velocity squat protocol (VSP). Finally, in the ON was performed speed and coordination tests - 30 m forward skating with 15 m split (FW15 and FW30); 30 m backward skating with 15 m split (BW15 and BW30); Weave agility test (WAT); Transition test (TT) and Pro-agility test (PAT). Results: No significant results were found between RFD and coordination tests (TT, WAT, PAT) and CMJ. The significant correlations were found between RFD40kg and SP30 (r = -.865; p < .01) and BJ and RFD40kg, respectively (r =.649; p < .05). However, as the back squat loads increase, the correlation strength decreases between RFD and SP30 (r = -.677; p < .01 for RFD50kg and r = -.560; p < .05 for RFD60kg). Moreover, the strong degree of correlation were observed between RFD40kg and FW15 (r = -.699; p < .05) and also FW30 (r = -.705; p < 0.05). Conclusion: The results of the study show a significant relationship between the RFD and commonly used off-ice and on-ice tests.

The purpose was to investigate whether runners who do not squat their body weight once will not be overloaded with a weight vest with a load of 5% of BW and will not maintain 95% intensity across ten repetitions of a 20-meter sprint. Eight adult female students (24,05±1,15 years old; body height 168±4,24 cm; body weight 60,39±5,53 kg) from the faculty of sports studies at Masaryk University in the Czech Republic participated in this study. Categories were: 1 = NBW (1RM in the squat is relative body weight ± 5 kg), 2 = LBW (1RM in the squat is lower than BW-5 kg) and 3 = HBW (1RM in the squat is higher than BW +5 kg). The measurements took place on three different days, each day running with another experimental condition: free sprinting, weighted vest sprinting with a 5% load of BW, and weighted vest sprinting with a 5% load of 1RM squat. With a weight vest with resistance at the level of 5% of body weight, during 49 sprints, the intensity decreased by a maximum of 4.82% (participant 4, NBW group, 1st run). Although, with weight vest resistance at the level of 5% of the 1RM back squats, during 68 sprints, the intensity decreased by a maximum of 6.59% (participant 1, NBW group, 8th run). It seems that the level of strength abilities of the lower limbs did not play a role in this, we can calculate 5% intensity from both BW and 1 RM squat. Since the HBW group could maintain the required intensity even at significantly higher weights than 5% BW, further research with a larger research sample is needed.

The aim of this research is to determine whether a larger number of injuries in the team affects the final competitive achievement of clubs in the 1st Croatian Football League. Data on injuries in training and matches were collected using UEFA's Injury Study Questionnaire. 340 players (in all 10 clubs) participated in the research. The Chi-square test was used for non-parametric tests while logistic regression analysis was used to correlate the independent and dependent variables. The hypothesis that clubs with lower rankings will have statistically significant more injuries has not been confirmed (p<0.05), but this difference (although not statistically confirmed) still exists between clubs that finished the championship at the top five compared to the low five clubs.

Social medias is all around us, talking to us every step of the way, pulling us into the center of the action. We see the power of social media every day on popular websites. They control the masses of people, change attitudes to life, globalize and internationalize the entire planet. What is the place of a person with disabilities in this huge global group? Is it possible to use social media to connect people with disabilities to the world and bring them closer to other groups of people in society? Can a company reach and effectively integrate people with disabilities through social networks? The questions this research asks. Eurostat results from 2021 show that the Czech Republic is among the above-average countries with more than 62% of people aged 16-74 who have social networks. (EUROSTAT, 2021). The company can thus use this communication space effectively. The primary data was collected based on research conducted through in-depth interviews that addressed 12 respondents from 4 corporations, 2 focused on the provision of security services, and 2 private healthcare facilities. In-depth interviews were semi-structured and evaluated using descriptive statistics. Secondary data were used for a literature review on disability processing and social networks, see. List of sources. J The data has been processed in accordance with the ESOMAR Code of Conduct 2016. The survey will be part of further research after the application of the findings to verify the implementation policy. The survey was descriptive and conceptual with demoscopic elements. The research question was as follows: Is social media an appropriate tool for communicating with a new or existing team member with a disability? Based on this research question, a null hypothesis was established, people with disabilities prefer to communicate through social media because they are closer to them than through other communication media. Alternatively, people with disabilities do not prefer to communicate through social media because they are more familiar with other means of communication. The results were complemented by a questionnaire survey with 303 people with disabilities integrated into work and leisure time teams, eg. A team in the service industry working as security officers, a leisure group of readers of the working team of a medical facility, etc. The SPSS program was used for processing, where ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed. The results of the survey show a strong influence on social media on all team members with health impairments and are an effective implementation tool for communication.

Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are associated with gross motor development delays and a limited ability to imitate human movements. Early intervention in the field of motor skills is crucial both from the point of view of the need for comprehensive care for these children and to increase their quality of life. Diagnostic evaluation tools for use in practice are a necessary prerequisite for targeted intervention programs. The Test of Gross Motor Development–Third Edition (TGMD-3) is declared for use in children with ASD (Ulrich, 2019). The TGMD-3 was developed in the USA and consists of two subtests – Locomotor and Ball skills. The Ball skills subtest contains culturally different elements such as strike stationary ball and underhand throw, performed according to US practice. For these reasons, modifications have been made in some countries in the European socio-cultural environment (Wagner et al., 2017) that do not include these elements typical of the US environment. The aim of this study was 1) to record and describe the reactions of children with ASD to culturally different elements in the ball skills subtest in the TGMD-3 motor test and 2) to compare their evaluation with other items of this subtest. Methods: This pilot study included 16 children with ASD aged 7-10 years. A total of 1 girl and 15 boys were evaluated by the TGMD-3 motor test using visual support. (Allen et al., 2017) Four independent examiners assessed participants' physical performance by following the instructions of the Examiner's Manual Test TGMD-3 3. Results: The results of the study are presented in the form of case studies of individual participants, which allow for further research in this heterogeneous population of children with ASD with better descriptive and comparative possibilities than statistical numerical expression. The limited ability to imitate, which is characteristic of children with ASD, is likely to have a significant effect on culturally dissimilar designs, especially the Underhand throw. The two-hand strike of a stationary ball's culturally different skill was very motivating for children with ASD aged 7-10. Conclusion: The limiting factor for generalization to the entire population of children with ASD aged 7-10 in the Czech socio-cultural environment is their small number and heterogeneity, which were affected by restrictive measures during the Covid-19 pandemic. Further research using the TGMD-3 instrument in the Czech population has the potential to expand diagnostic methods in the field of motor skills and contribute to the possibilities of early physical intervention in children with ASD.
背景:自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)与大运动发育迟缓和模仿人类运动的有限能力有关。从需要对这些儿童进行全面护理和提高他们的生活质量的角度来看,运动技能领域的早期干预至关重要。在实践中使用的诊断评估工具是有针对性的干预计划的必要前提。大肌肉运动发展测试-第三版(TGMD-3)被宣布用于ASD儿童(Ulrich, 2019)。TGMD-3是在美国开发的,由两个子测试组成-运动和球技能。球技能子测试包含不同文化的元素,如击打固定球和下手投球,根据美国的实践进行。由于这些原因,欧洲社会文化环境中的一些国家进行了修改(Wagner et al., 2017),这些修改不包括美国环境中典型的这些元素。本研究的目的是1)记录和描述ASD儿童对TGMD-3运动测试中球类技能子测试中不同文化元素的反应,2)比较其与该子测试其他项目的评价。方法:本初步研究纳入16例7-10岁ASD患儿。在视觉支持下,对1名女生和15名男生进行TGMD-3运动测试。(Allen et al., 2017)四名独立审查员根据审查员手册测试TGMD-3的说明评估参与者的身体表现。结果:研究结果以个体参与者的案例研究的形式呈现,这使得在这种异质的ASD儿童群体中进行进一步的研究具有更好的描述性和比较可能性,而不是统计数字表达。有限的模仿能力是自闭症儿童的特征,这可能会对文化差异的设计产生重大影响,尤其是Underhand投掷。对于7-10岁的ASD儿童来说,两手击打固定球的不同文化技能非常有激励作用。结论:捷克社会文化环境中7-10岁ASD儿童数量少且异质性大,受新冠疫情期间限制措施的影响,限制了对整个人群的推广。在捷克人群中使用TGMD-3仪器的进一步研究有可能扩展运动技能领域的诊断方法,并有助于ASD儿童早期身体干预的可能性。
