    The following bachelor thesis deals with the issue of flat feet in children of younger school age. Nowadays, flat feet happen to be the most common deformity in children which may be diagnosed by using several methods. One of them is the indexing method which counts the size (toes not included) and the width of the foot in the 5th base metatarsus area. Some systems are able to evaluate a specific type of foot using a particular software. This thesis aims to observe one specific type of foot among a selected group of younger school-aged children. Using a pressure platform, this thesis deals with finding out the percentage occurrence of flat feet. The thesis also focuses on the relationship between the prevalence of flatfoot and BMI. In order to collect the data, Footscan (RS Scan, Belgium) was used. The measuring was undertaken by 32 third grade children from an elementary school in Brandýs (N = 32, age = 9,66 ± 0,68; weight = 32,55± 8,29 kg; height = 137,09 ± 8,05; BMI = 17,02 ± 3,58). The children were divided into three groups according to their foot deformities (natural, flat, high arch). Out of the whole group, there were 13 children (40,6 %) with normal feet, 16 children with flat feet (50 %), and 3 children with a high arch (9,4 %). Thanks to statistical methods, we observed the correlation...Předkládaná bakalářská práce se zabývá problematikou výskytu plochonoží u dětí mladšího školního věku. V současné době patří mezi nejčastější deformity nohou u dětí právě plochonoží, které lze diagnostikovat různými způsoby. Jednou z metod je metoda indexu, kdy se počítá velikost délky chodidla bez prstů a jeho šířky v oblasti báze 5. metatarzu. Některé systémy dokážou typ nohy vyhodnotit pomocí příslušných softwarů. Hlavním cílem práce bylo sledovat typ nohy u vybrané skupiny dětí mladšího školního věku a pomocí záznamů z tlakové plošiny zjistit, jaký je procentuální výskyt plochonoží u vybrané skupiny dětí. Dále se práce zaměřuje na vztah výskytu plochonoží a BMI. K měření byl použit tenzometrický systém Footscan (RS Scan, Belgie). Měření se zúčastnilo celkem 32 žáků 3. třídy ze základní školy v Brandýse nad Labem (N = 32, věk = 9,66 ± 0,68 let; hmotnost = 32,55± 8,29 kg; výška = 137,09 ± 8,05 cm; BMI = 17,02 ± 3,58). Děti byly následně rozděleny do tří skupin na základě typologie nohy (normální, plochá a vysoká). Z celkového počtu 32 dětí bylo 13 dětí s normální nohou, což představuje 40,6 %, dále 16 dětí s plochou nohou, což je 50 % a 3 děti měly nohu vysokou, což je 9,4 %. Pomocí statistických metod se zjišťovala korelace mezi výskytem plochonoží a BMI, přičemž byla prokázána statisticky...Katedra tělesné výchovyFaculty of EducationPedagogická fakult
