Nováková, Natálie ; Hráský, Pavel (advisor) ; Šteffl, Michal (referee)
Title: Rest and stress diagnostics to determine performance limitation in triathlon Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the results from the rest and stress test, where I used the analysis to define the state of the organism of the examined athlete from the Betri sports club. Another aim is to design an intervention program for 8 weeks in collaboration with an experienced coach Radek Holinka. Based on the evaluation of the input and control parameters I will define the limitations of the performance and compare it percentage wise. Through this type of research I will investigate the changes in the biochemical parameters of the body and the intervention program will increase the potential for better sports performance for the upcoming competition season at amateur level. Methods: The research was carried out using a quantitative method based on expert analysis of the current state of the organism using rest and stress diagnostics in the Betri Lab movement centre. First, resting caloric expenditure was measured using a modern PNOÉ (metabolic analyzer) device, and then a bicycle ergometer stress test was applied to the athletes to determine energy expenditure to determine thresholds and define any performance limitations. During the exercise stress test, the athletes completed...

Social Value and its Measurement in the Third Sector
Konov, Jaroslava ; Dohnalová, Marie (advisor) ; Šteffl, Michal (referee) ; Průša, Ladislav (referee)
The research "Social value and its measurement in the third sector" is focused on measuring the social value of social enterprises, which form part of the conceptual framework of the third sector. Social enterprises currently face the challenge of assessing and measuring social value (social impact). Demonstrating social value is required by many stakeholders, including social enterprises themselves. There are many approaches to measuring social value, but none has been widely adopted, and the field is characterized by methodological pluralism. In the Czech Republic, the area of social value measurement in the third sector is still under-researched, despite the current political and economic climate, where stakeholder demands for indicators that can capture the performance of organizations are increasing. As in other countries, there is no uniformly accepted tool for measuring social value or social impact. The main objective of the research, which is divided into two sub-research "Measuring the social value of social enterprises" and "Longitudinal study", is to measure the social value of social enterprises in the Czech Republic and to perform their mutual comparison (benchmarking). The sub-goals are to monitor the development of measurements and changes in the social value of a selected social...

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

Sports preparation of para hockey players in Czech Republic
Gojová, Barbora ; Šťastný, Petr (advisor) ; Šteffl, Michal (referee)
Title: Sports training of national Para ice hockey team players in the Czech Republic Results: Using theoretical knowledge, questionnaire survey and based on interviews with the coach of the para hockey team of the Czech Republic, to describe the current level of sports preparation of para hockey players in the Czech Republic. The sub-goal was to design suitable exercises on and off the ice. Method: Within the theoretical part, a method of literature research was chosen to present basic information about para hockey and its training in the Czech Republic. The research was conceived as mixed. The methods of data collection were a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. In the case of open questions and interview analysis, the method of creating clusters was used. Results: Training units are insufficient in terms of complexity, lacking, for example, a focus on endurance and training of game skills. Hockey clubs lack a sufficient number of off-ice training units, there is no recovery and rest plan, and very little emphasis is placed on compensatory training. The absence of individual training is also problematic. Training in the season focuses mainly on shooting and passing practice. There is a lack of training of other important techniques,...

The research from the obtained data is carried out from the first stage of primary school, specifically from the 2nd, 3rd and 5th grade, and consists of tests for long jump, sprint for 60 m and throwing a ball. Here we used basic statistical characteristics such as arithmetic mean, standard deviation. Results: As a result of the work, the first hypothesis of non-linear change in the 60m run test between 3-5 was not confirmed. class. For the second hypothesis, smaller gender differences in the development of speed skills than in strength skills were confirmed. By evaluating for practice, we can say that children's motor skills change and it is important to focus on them individually. The development of individual abilities is very important and the...

Title: The relationship between physical activity and memory in older adults with or without diabetes. Objectives: The main goal of my diploma thesis was to determine the effect of physical activity on memory in people over 65 with and without diabetes. Another goal was to find out how much influence the level of education has on the results of memory tests. Methods: This diploma thesis is designed as a cross-sectional study that processes data from the sixth wave of the international project Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). The Mann-Whitney U test was used for hypothesis testing in two-category tests. For testing hypotheses with more than two categories, the Kruskal-Wallis test with subsequent post hoc analysis by Mann-Whitney U test with Bonfferoni correction was used. The tested files are described by basic statistical indicators. Population histograms and error bar graphs were used to graphically represent the test results. The data were processed in the statistical program SPSS from IBM and in Microsoft Excel. Results: The results showed a statistically significant positive effect, either for "sports or activities that are vigorous" or for "activities requiring a moderate level of energy" for results in the test of immediate and delayed memory of 10 words. All tests...
