Drtina, Matěj ; Perič, Tomáš (advisor) ; Vojta, Zdeněk (referee)
Analysis of the level of stickhandling skills in ice hockey in the U10 - U11 category The main goal of this thesis is to analyse the level of stickhandling skills among youth ice hockey players in the U10 and U11 categories. Reaching this goal consists of two main steps - first is the implementation of a research standardised test battery focused on puck control in selected Czech ice hockey clubs, which is followed by a comparative analysis and interpretation of the data obtained from this testing. For this bachelor's thesis, we employed the methods of observation, analysis and comparison. The observation method was used for the implementation of the standardised testing of the level of stickhandling skills for the U10 and U11 categories. An analytical and comparative methodical approach was then used for the evaluation and interpretation of the data obtained from the on-ice testing. A total of 246 players from U10 and U11 categories from 8 different Czech ice hockey clubs took part in the testing of the level of stickhandling skills. The average stickhandling level of players in the U11 category is noticeably higher (reaching a value of 4.3) than that of players from the U10 category (value of 2.9). Players from clubs that hold the status of the Academy of Czech Hockey performed significantly...

Title: The possibilities of virtual reality as a training tool in sports games - on the example of a chosen sports game Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to find relations between variables consisting of selected hockey-specific skills and cognitive functions. Methods: Result evaluation was done via descriptive statistics (average result of research group, standard deviation) and correlational analysis (Pearson (common), canonical). Results: Research group was made of 197 probands (ice hockey players), whose ages were between thirteen and fifteen years. All probands performed eight tests in virtual reality, whereas first four of them focused on cognitive functions and the remaining four on hockey-specific skills. In case of hockey-specific skills, players accomplished following outcomes: release time (percentile) x=92,54+3,24 spatial orientation (percentile) x=70,07+14,29 looking for open lanes (percentile) x=59,64 +9,73 verbal communication (percentile) x=54,03+23,50 correct decision (percentile) x=58,87+14,98. In case of cognitive functions, players accomplished following outcomes: recognition time (percentile) x=83,23+4,28 multiple objects tracking (percentile) x=49,03+14,59 detail recognition (percentile) x=91,11+14,20 time-movement anticipation (percentile) x=61,19+16,33 peripheral vision...

Title: Unilateral loading diagnosis in ice hockey Objectives: The primary objective of this work is to determine if junior field hockey players exhibit characteristic muscular imbalances in areas at high risk for unilateral loading. Sub-objective #1. Conduct a series of physiological tests (Patrick test, Thomas test, pectoralis muscle shortening test, ankle flexibility test, and left and right knee internal and external rotation tests) on junior field hockey players from four different teams to identify potential areas at high risk for unilateral loading. Sub-objective #2. Conduct a statistical analysis of the data collected to determine if there is a statistically significant unilateral strain in any of the areas tested and if there are significant differences between teams. Methods: In our study, the physical condition of the players was assessed using a modern Tanita scale and diagnostic exercise tests. Statistical methods such as t-tests, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, Wilcoxon test, and principal component analysis were used for data analysis. We also used Fisher's exact test and chi- square test to evaluate differences in frequency. A post-hoc test was then performed - Tukey's HSD test. Results: Our study identified statistically significant instances of unilateral load among hockey players...
