Popis: We define (in a natural way) an almost contactmetric structure on a smooth distribution of a contact metric manifold considered as the total space of a vector bundle. We introduce notions of a geodesic spray of a connection on a smooth distribution and of a generalized Hamiltonian system. In terms of this system we give an invariant description of the motion of a mechanical system with constraints.
