The goal of our research is to assess the effect of ideomotor intervention in sensomotor learning of a movement task, which is focused on the ability of balancing with a subject. The research sample consisted of 60 persons at the age of 21-35 years (n = 60). The experimental group consisted of 30 probands (nE = 30), and the control group had 30 probands too (nK = 30). The tests were carried out in the form of pre-test and post-test, while the experimental group underwent a short relaxation and ideomotor intervention between the pre-test and post-test.

Studia Kinanthropologica 2018, 19(3):165-169 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2018.043
The review text provides a new insight into the phenomenon of adaptation courses, which has not yet been studied. It focuses on the issue of movement in these courses; describes the relationship between sport and education as two mutually complementary contents of the courses. We can find only very little information about the concept of adaptation courses in literature and the focus on the theme of movement and sport in this area is totally absent in the available resources. In response, the authors in the first part of the text provide an overview of the basic ideological and methodical principles of adaptation courses. The overall view of adaptation...

Professional tennis players have a very short time to hit an incoming ball from an opponent as the ball travels very quickly. The aim is to find out the rally pace in Wimbledon 2017 and compare this rally pace and other match characteristics in the 1st round matches to late stage matches of the tournament (semifinals and final). We analyzed 7 matches (four 1st round matches, both semifinals and final). The mean players' ATP ranking was M = 45,1 ± 38,1. The results showed that the overall rally pace is 1,27 s. However, this rally pace was significantly slower in the 1st round matches (1,33 ± 0,14 s) compared to late tournament stage (1,19...

The use of rating scales such as the SF-36 questionnaire has been more and more common in the rehabilitation facilities. The authors comment on the use of the questionare for diagnose multiple sclerosis (MS). An autoimmune, inflammatory, neurodegenerative disease with chronic progression, multiple sclerosis (MS), is the most frequent disease of productive young adults, which affects more women than men. It is a very treacherous chronic disease that often strikes the attack, when a man waits at least. There has not yet available medicine, which would cure MS. Due to the nature of desiese MS influences quality of life for patients in many areas.
