Prof.ing.Václav Bunc, PhD – born 19.9.1947 – graduated from Technical University Prague 1970,
applied physics, 1970-1973 research worker in Tesla VUST A.S.Popova Prague, 1973-1975 PhD
study on Technical University Prague, from 1975 until 2022 on Faculty of Physical Education and Sports, from 1.1.2023 on Pedagocical Faculty Charles University
Charles University, PhD earned from Technical University Prague in Applied Physics, senior
scientific worker, Ass.Prof. 1993, Prof. 1998 – Exercise Physiology both from Charles University
Main topics: application of mathematical methods and models in PE and sport, using of
biocybernetics by evaluation of physical fitness, exercise physiology, functional and physical testing
in laboratory and field, body composition, BIA methods, obesity, moving regimes for prevention in
cardiac patients, activity in seniors.
Since 1991, we have systematically worked in the field of a healthy lifestyle for seniors, in modifying their body composition and in influencing muscle mass, their independence and self-sufficiency. We regularly present the results at domestic and foreign conferences. We also publish in our and foreign periodicals.
Publications: first author more than 450 items in scientific Journals, more than 160 abroad, practically the same number of publications as co-author. From 1987 visiting professor on University of Graz. Referee of scientific papers with topics of physical fitness, exercise physiology and biomedical engineering in our country and abroad. Member of Czech and International scientific societies. Lector of PhD study on Charles University and University of Graz. Head of many research projects, author of great numbers of research reports.
