Statistical investigation of physical readiness selected parametrs of professional firefighters within HZS South Bohemia CPS České Budějovice and HZSp JE Temelín
SEVERA, Marek
Physical readiness is an integral part of the requirements for the firefighter profession. Getting acquainted with the selected organization of units and mapping their physical training led to an understanding of the problem. Logical methods of applied quantitative research were used to obtain information. A factor (strength part of physical tests) was determined to compare the physical readiness of selected organizations. Using the application of empirical research methods, the parameterization of the selected factor was performed and the first research goal was met. Research hypotheses were positively verified by methods of investigating the obtained data: H1: Selected parameters of strength physical readiness should have an empirical distribution close to the normal distribution (normality was verified by nonparametric testing). H2: Comparison of the parameters of the strength part of physical tests of selected organizations should lead to the acceptance of the null hypothesis at the selected level of statistical significance (no statistically significant differences in the physical readiness of selected organizations were found at the selected level a= 0.05). By verifying the operationalized hypotheses H1, H2, the second goal of the work was fulfilled, the comparison of physical readiness between individual organizations. The verification of hypotheses was supported by the theory of estimates of theoretical parameters of the normal distribution and regression and correlation analysis of measured data with two dimensions of the strength part of physical tests (lying-seats, cranks). The theoretical benefits of the diploma thesis can be considered the proposed and implemented structuring of the theoretical part - a description of the organization of selected units, a description of physical training legislation, new trends in physical training, physical training abroad. The practical benefit of the diploma thesis is to document the chosen structuring of the theoretical part by selecting a suitable comparative factor - the strength component of physical tests. The applied quantitative research could have research connections - to document the chosen structuring of the theoretical part by other parameters of physical readiness and special physical training of professional firefighters.

The history and the present fire sport of professional firefighters in the South Bohemian Region
SEVERA, Marek
Fire sport is an integral part of the physical training of the members of regional fire brigade units. The aim of the work is to assess and evaluate the demands on athletes dealing with the fire-fighting sport in its beginnings and now in the South Bohemian region. The mapping of the beginnings of fire fighting sport in the Czechchoslovak Socialist Republic Czechoslovakia, Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, the Czech Republic and abroad is a necessary part of understanding the problem. The benefit of meeting important fire-fighting professionals in the South Bohemian Region is not only gaining valuable knowledge and experience, but above all a distinctive revival of memories and never-recorded facts. In order to find information about fire sport, qualitative research methods were used, namely analysis of available materials and resources, interviews and questionnaire survey between the former and current competitors of fire fighting in the South Bohemian Region. The results of the analysis of available materials and resources, as well as the questionnaire survey, showed a model presenting different results between competitors from earlier and from the present. The conclusions provided the answer to the research question, "What were the requirements on athletes of firefighting sport at its beginnings and what are they now? Requirements such as the time and physical demands of training, the quality of equipment and tools, used to be stricter in the past, the conditions for running a firefighting sport without available information and experience were more difficult than those currently required. The assessment of the development of fire sport since its beginnings in the 1970s to the present day in the South Bohemian region shows that there is a significant fall in the results of of the South Bohemian region's teams in national competitions. The proposal to improve performance in fire sport is to identify weaknesses and focus on their enhancement.
