“…The goal of every athlete and athletic club is to eliminate the potential risk of injury and integrate into sports activities as soon as possible if an injury occurs. Prevention plays an important role in all sports [17]. As the specific load of the human body in terms of unilateral loading starts at a young age, it can lead to muscle imbalances, which are reflected in the form of insufficient muscle strength, poorer mobility in the joints, as well as other problems that constitute a potential risk of injury.…”

Introduction. ice hockey is one of the most popular sports that constitutes a physically demanding intermittent type of physical activity. it also requires an enormous amount of energy expended by the musculoskeletal system. The main objective of the study was to determine the dynamic stability of the lower limb in professional hockey players. Methods. The Y-balance test was chosen to measure the dynamic stability of lower limb. in addition, an electronic questionnaire was applied to obtain data associated with the knee joint injuries. Results. The mean value of the composite score for the right lower limb was 1.07 (± 0.10). The minimum value of the composite score for the right lower limb was 0.88, and the maximum value equalled 1.25. The mean value of the composite score for the left lower limb was 1.08 (± 0.11). The minimum value for the left lower limb was 0.90, and the maximum equalled 1.27. Conclusions. dynamic stability in the tested group of professional hockey players was shown to be adequate; however, further studies will be needed to determine the optimal values of the Y-balance test in the prevention of injuries in hockey players.

“…A considerable percentage of soldiers have a lowered health classification (category C), meaning that they can perform As a result of this situation, soldiers cope with stressful situations by excess consumption of highcalorie foods, cigarette smoking or consumption of high-calorie alcoholic drinks outside of working hours. Soldiers from the examined unit of the ACR have 24-hour shifts, thus there is a higher probability of irregular food intake which is on top of that highly caloric (12). Some soldiers consider annual compulsory basic medical examinations a necessary evil which they must undergo.…”

Objectives: The aim of this work is to compare the current prevalence of selected risk factors in cardiovascular diseases in the Czech general population in a particular region with a selected population of Czech soldiers in a particular military unit. Methods: Within medical preventive examinations, data from 684 civilians aged between 30-60 years were obtained (405 men and 279 women). Within compulsory medical preventive examinations, data from 659 soldiers from a particular military unit aged between 30-60 years were obtained (576 men and 83 women). Anthropometric parameters such as height and body weight were monitored and then used to calculate the values of Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference. From biochemical parameters the following values were monitored: glycaemia, uric acid, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, ALT, and GGT. As for the demographic data, age and gender were processed. In the cohort of male soldiers a questionnaire was used to find the extent of cigarette smoking, frequency of using alcoholic drinks and performance of regular physical activities such as aerobic exercises. Results: As for cardiovascular risk, assessed anthropometric parameters in monitored female age categories are statistically significantly lower (p < 0.05) in women in the Army of the Czech Republic (ACR) compared to the female civilian population. Most of the biochemical parameters also display values that indicate the female military population is healthier than the civilian in these parameters. On the other hand, assessed anthropometric parameters in monitored male age categories are statistically significantly lower (p < 0.001) in civilian men compared to the male military population. Most of the assessed biochemical parameters show statistically significant health-indicative values in the male civilian population as well. Conclusion: This work revealed differences in anthropometric and biochemical parameters between the examined civilian and military populations. As for cardiovascular risk, the main findings are significantly worse anthropometric and biochemical parameters in the selected male military cohort compared to the male civilian cohort.
