Risk factors of upper limb injuries and the relationship between general physical characteristics and punch force in martial arts
Sidunov, Matěj ; Pádecký, Jan (advisor) ; Šteffl, Michal (referee)
Title: Risk factors of upper limb injuries and relationship between general physical characteristcs and punch force in martial arts. Objectives: The master thesis has two objectives. First, to find out the possible performance and morphological predictors of upper limb fractures in martial arts participants. Second to find out the performance and morphological predictors and their magnitude of punching force. Methods: In our thesis we used a logistic regression to find out the strength of the predictors of upper limb fracture. On the retrospective history of fractures, the participants were asked, if they have had any upper limb fracture. Furthermore, Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression were used for the strength of the predictors of punching forces. Results: We found out, that none of the predictors of upper limb fractures were signiciant. Furthermore, the overall model was not significant as well (p = 0.064, R2 McF = 0.199). Linear regression for the prediction of punching forces was statistically significant (p <0.001, R2 = 0.672). The strongest predictors were handgrip strength and peak concentric fore during a push-up jump (both p <0.05). Keywords: martial arts, mixed martial arts, injury, punching

Kinematic and dynamic characteristics of straight punches in elite male boxers
Pádecký, Jan ; Tufano, James Joseph (advisor) ; Pavelka, Radim (referee)
Title: Kinematic and dynamic characteristics of straight punches in elite male boxers Objectives: The purpose of this study was to quantify lower limb forces in the x, y, and z directions and their association with jab and cross relative peak force, and jab and cross peak velocity. Methods: A sample of 12 elite male subjects participated in the present study, which took place over two days. Subjects were familiarized with the procedures during the first day. During the second day, the subjects performed a standardized warm-up protocol, followed by one straight punch with the rear and then the lead hand to a force plate that was suspended in the air at the chin level by a cable system. The subjects were standing on two separate tri-axial force plates. Punch velocity was assessed using a Qualisys Motion Tracking Manager, where the marker used was placed in the middle of 12 OZ gloves. Results: Subject body weight resulted in a high positive significant correlation with jab and cross peak force, and a non-significant low and moderate positive correlation with jab and cross peak velocity, respectively. Partial correlation controlling for bodyweight resulted in a very high positive significant correlation between jab peak velocity and jab peak force and a high positive, but the non-significant...

Pádecký, Jan ; Fiala, Miloš (advisor) ; Jebavý, Radim (referee)
Title: Application of athletic training methods in fire fighter sport Objectives: The aim of this work is to describe fire fighter sport, its disciplines and suggest of possible application of athletic training methods in fire fighter physical preparation. Methods: In this thesis were used the methods of analysis and explanation of literature and scientific articles which are focused on athletic and fire fighter sport. Results: Results of this thesis is description and development of fire fighter sport and conditioning components that are key components in fire fighter sport performance. Possibilities in integration of the selected athletic training methods in the training process of a fire fighter. Keywords: athletics, fire fighter sport, sport preparation, condition, methods
