Mílová, Kateřina ; Bílý, Milan (advisor) ; Busta, Jan (referee)
Title: Specifics of sport training of canoe marathon athletes Objectives: The main goal of this work is to characterize the specifics of sports training in canoe marathon courses. Methods: In our work we used the method of analysis and the method of questionnaire survey. We used the questionnaire survey method to obtain the results. The method of analysis was applied in the analysis of the main specifics of marathon training. The questions in the questionnaire survey are open, semi-closed and closed. Results: The main specifics of sport training of canoe marathon athletes that are based on the results from this study include riding in a group and on a wave, changes of pace with high acceleration or deceleration and consequently the ability to recover during the race, boat runs, turnarounds, certain tactics, high mileage and hours spent training. 91.9 % of marathon paddlers train more than 13 hours and 44.6 % even more than 16 hours per week in the preparation period. In the competition period, 74.3 % of athletes train 13 or more per week. In one annual macrocycle, 85.1 % of athletes paddle more than 3000 km, 45.9 % of athletes get over 4000 km and 21.6 % even cross the 5000 km mark. It was found that 55.4 % of respondents engage in less than 3 hours of weight training per week and 40.5 % include...

Junová, Hana ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Novotná, Irena (referee)
Title: Evaluation of the most frequent injuries of marathon runners Objectives: The main objective of this research is to evaluate the most common injuries in marathon runners. The research is focused on amateur long-distance runners of both sexes from 23 years of age. Another goal is to analyze the possible causes and factors that influence injuries. Methods: In the diploma thesis, the method of literary research and the method of questioning is used. Theoretical knowledge is drawn from both domestic and foreign literature. Data for analytical evaluation are obtained using a non-standardized questionnaire filled in running races - Libouchecky ultramaraton and Jirkovsky crossmaraton. Total of 156 questionnaires were obtained, 122, of which 61 % were included for analytical evaluation. The IBM SPSS analytics program and Microsoft Excel 2016 is used for data analysis. Results: Study showed that 61 out of the total 122 runners were injured, which is 50 % of respondents. Of these were 23 women and 38 men. Research confirmed two hypotheses out of five. The statistically significant relationship between the cause of the injury and the sex has been confirmed. It has also been confirmed that the distance runners of both sexes and age categories are most susceptible to knee injury injuries. The most common...

Štenclová, Markéta ; Crossan, William Morea (advisor) ; Pecinová, Markéta (referee)
Title: Volunteer motivation and care in the RunCzech running events Purpose: The main aim of this master's thesis is to find the motives contributing to be a volunteer at the RunCzech running events which are organized by the Prague International Marathon. Another goal is to discover how the organizer takes care of their volunteers, and how the leadership and volunteer coordination really works. Method: For this research on volunteer motivation questionnaires were used in electronic Google forms. The link for this survey was sent via e-mail and shared via social networks. The other methods were structural and semi-structural interviews with two employees of PIM, who are responsible for their volunteers during the organisation of RunCzech running events. The results were analysed with graphs and tables in MS Excel. Results: Based on the results the survey suggests more than half of volunteers are motivated by more than one motive at once. The atmosphere during the events and new experiences are two of the most important motives for volunteers. The behaviour of volunteer leaders also has an important influence on volunteer's motivation. The interviews showed that PIM searches for volunteers primarily from high schools. They try to motivate volunteers with the possibility to choose a volunteer...

Title: Nutrition of Czech Elite Marathon Runners Aims: Theoretical part of this bachelor thesis summarises information on nutrition of endurance athletes. Practical part analyses dietary habits of Czech elite marathon runners. Objectives of this bachelor thesis were to survey if athletes are aiming at healthy dietary habits, how they maintain in pre-competition diet and whether they follow any of pre-event nutrition strategies. Methods: Research was completed by sending an electronical questionnaire to a representative number of Czech marathon runners before the 2020 event season. Results: Questionaire was completed by twelve elite marathon runners, out of this number six men and six women. Outcome proved the athletes are interested in their diet, especially before events when hydration is increased, yet carbohydrates and other nutrients are kept unchanged. Almost all respondents use food supplements not only before the contest but also during the year, commonly it is BCAA. Only 30 % of respondents is on super carb diet before the event. Approximately a week before the race they reduce the carb income of 20-30 %, however three to four days before the race they increase the carb income of 20-30 % above the usual numbers. Key words: sports nutrition, marathon, pre-event diet, carbohydrate loading diet

Analysis of the performance in the men's marathon run from 1945 to the present in the Czech Republic
PODLEŠÁKOVÁ, Lenka
This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of the development of the performance of Czech competitors on the marathon track. The aim of the thesis was to find out how the performance of our marathon runners evolved over time and whether the marathon time scale was rather shortened or extended. In the analytical part, there were first described the basic characteristics of the marathon, such as its history, long-run runner assumptions, training developments, the effect of altitude on performance, or, for example, how the state supports marathon runners and sport. The synthetic part of the thesis contains graphs and tables, obtained from data analysis, which were obtained in tables and in athletics yearbooks. These are very important indicators of marathon performance development. Most of the graphs shows that performance has risen since the start of the period under review until the 1990s. In the first half of the period under review, Czech athletes were most supported by the state and the way for their success was more supported by the state than in the second half. The loss of support after the fall of the Communist Party was one of the reasons why we do not currently have a marathon runner who is approaching a new Czech record. In conclusion, it is worthwhile to support a broader base of athletes, where a strong individual sportman can occur who will succeed on the international scene.
