Možnost fyzioterapie u funkčních poruch pohybového aparátu ragbistů

My bachelor's thesis deals with the subject of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system in a selected group of rugby players and the ensuing options to alleviate or eliminate these disorders, especially using compensatory exercises. The first goal of the bachelor's thesis is to identify which muscle imbalances and musculoskeletal disorders occur in rugby players, while the second goal was to suggest compensatory exercises for these muscle imbalances in the selected group of players. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part I describe rugby, the rules of rugby and the workload of players during a match. Then I describe the issues of functional disorders and muscle imbalances, followed by the role of physiotherapy in rugby, where I discuss the most common injuries, selected examination and therapeutic methods and compensatory exercises. The practical part is based on qualitative research of three players of the RLC Orli Havlíčkův Brod team. The research started with medical history and initial kinesiological analysis consisting of various examinations to identify shortened and weakened muscles and to detect general movement insufficiency; I summarized the results of the investigation in case reports. On the basis of these examinations I designed compensatory exercises to alleviate or eliminate these problems. The subjects went through the designed exercise module under my supervision once a week for three months - before and after each rugby practice, which they had twice a week. They were also given the option of voluntary individual exercise at home. The results of this thesis show that rugby generates certain muscle imbalances that affect most players, especially in the lower half of the body where functional disorders are the greatest. My objective was to educate players as well as coaches in the subject of muscle imbalance. This thesis could serve as a reference and educational material providing orientation in this area both for professionals and the general public
