THE TECHNIQUE AND TACTICS OF SAFELY RUNNING VARIOUS WATERFALL TYPES ON KAYAK
Klaus, Jan ; Novotný, Petr (advisor) ; Bílý, Milan (referee)
Title: THE TECHNIQUE AND TACTICS OF SAFELY RUNNING VARIOUS WATERFALL TYPES ON KAYAK Purposes: The purpose of this thesis is to introduce the proper technique and tactics of running technical sections of rivers to intermediate and advanced kayakers, focusing especially on waterfalls and other river features with a significant vertical drop. The aim is to familiarize readers with this topic in a complex manner; to present them comprehensive information in order to have a better understanding of running technical sections of rivers on a kayak with an emphasis on safety and prevention of undesirable situations. Methods: This bachelor thesis is based on a literature review, and does not contain experimental suggestions. It is a qualitative research that has been tested and completed by the author and other active kayakers. The conclusions were made without any quantitative experiments or statistical analysis. This work was created by gathering relevant information from other professional and experienced sources and documenting it. Key words: Kayak, technique, tactic, kayak stroke, waterfall, water hole, slide, safety, whitewater, wildwater, boof, plugin, stomp
Energy cost of slacklining
Klaus, Jan ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Hráský, Pavel (referee)
Title Energy expenditure of slackline walking Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the energy expenditure of slacklining in intermediate and advanced slackliners. Methods In this observatory study, 19 slackliners (10 intermediate, of which 7 men and 3 women, 9 advanced, of which 7 men and 2 women) completed experimental energy expenditure measurement of slacklining using indirect colorimetry. The MetaMax 3B metabolic analyzer (Cortex Biophysik, Germany) was used to determine respiratory parameters and the heart rate monitor (Polar Electro OY, Finland) was used to determine the heart rate (HR). Comparative statistical tools were used in the data analysis. Results Relative energy expenditure of 0,471 kJ·min-1 ·kg-1 was found in intermediate slackliners and 0,377 kJ·min-1 ·kg-1 in advanced slackliners in walking on a 10 m long slackline at a constant speed of 15 m·min-1 . In the static standing on slackline, the relative energy expenditure was found to be 0.368 kJ·min-1 ·kg-1 in intermediate slackliners and 0.289 kJ·min-1 ·kg-1 in advanced slackliners. The weighted arithmetic mean for HR in men and women walking on the slackline at 15 m·min-1 was at 67.3% of the predicted HRmax (220 - age for men, 226 - age for women). The MET value in the advanced group (n = 10) was set at 5.15, and in...
Reception of the novel Spaceman of Bohemia (Kosmonaut z Čech) in media and its Interpretation
Klaus, Jan ; Holý, Jiří (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with Jaroslav Kalfar's debut novel Kosmonaut z Cech (2017), translated from the English Spaceman of Bohemia original version by Veronika Volhejnova. The main aim of the thesis is to provide an own interpretation of the novel and prove it is not an ordinary sci-fi book but a well composed novel that does not fit any conventional genre boxes and presents the Czech republic and its people to the world. The interpretation is based on an analysis of author's methods and motives. The first part of the thesis focuses on the historical events Kalfar's narrator describes and the way he does it, and the way Czech people with their bad qualities including postcomunism way of thinking of a relevant percentage of them are described. The second part of the thesis focuses on a description of the narrator and the main hero of the story - the spaceman Jakub Prochazka - using people and places that shaped him and were once again chosen very thoughtfully by the author. The last part of the thesis provides a thorough analysis of Kalfar's style based on a comparison with Bohumil Hrabal who also used contrast juxtapositions of "the high" and "the low", named his characters in an ironic way and used motives of advertisement or suicide.
