Mikeš, Marek ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Cebe, Jan (referee)
My bachelor thesis is focused on the Czech press in the 1980s and its tendencies to describe so-called rowdies and their negative impact not only on the football environment but also on society in general. My thesis will mainly focus on rowdies and the way they were portrayed by the Czech press at that time. In the first part, I am going to characterize rowdies and some related terms as well as the historical context. I am also going to present the great football tragedies of the 20th century that took place in Europe and therefore also in Czechoslovakia. In the main part of my thesis, I'm going to analyze 4 domestic newspapers or magazines and show how they informed our society about these incidents and rowdies.

Linhart, Jakub ; Janhuba, Radek (advisor) ; Godar, Sarah (referee)
American football as the most popular sport in the US higher education attracts millions of students to compete in various leagues under the supervision of the National Collegi- ate Athletic Association. Matches between the top university teams that are part of the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision belong to the most attractive and historical rival- ries bring high fan support and media attention. However, this also comes with greater stress for competing student-athletes and thus the impact of losing on their psychological state outside the pitch should not be understated. Following previous studies about the impact of collegiate football, this analysis used data about 114 Division I-FBS teams across 13 years to examine the effect of football performance on the academic results of student-athletes. The results showed positive and significant effects of relatively success- ful season on the academic performance of players, whose mentality towards studying and socialization outside football improve in case of a successful season. This supports a phenomenon called "football chicken soup", which states that success in extracurricular activities improve the students' ability to adjust for college life and thus improve their academic results. Additionally, I found that a team's financial situation has no...

The solution used the method of analysis of selected football matches and the method of questionare to find out the knowladge and view as for the videoreferee. The research has showed that the decision-making objectivity increased by 6% after the videoreferee had been introduced. According to the survey, introducing the videoreferee into football is considered to be a positive measure by almost 75% of the respondents.More than a half of all the survey participants (63.7% correct answers) also proved to have a good knowledge the video usage rules. On the basis of the data obtained, it is possible to state that the introduction of the videoreferee is still at an early stage when some shortcomings are to be eliminated. However, the videoreferee and its overall contribution for football can be considered as clearly beneficial.

JŮN, Pavel
This bachelor thesis deals with the problems of stabilizing function and elasticity of lower limb muscles and their possible relationship to acute and chronical disorders of a lower back and lower limbs in football. The thesis is divided into two main parts. In the first part of the thesis theoretical knowledge about connective tissues,articular and muscle system as the components of the muscular sytem with the emphasis on its stabilizing function are described. In this theoretical part terms connected with ability to create and keep the stability of the body or its individual segments during the influence of external power are also defined. The most common injuries of the lower limbs during football playing are also described as same as mechanism of their origin. Possibilities of physioteraphy as possible prevention of particular types of injuries. The second practical part is worked out on the basis of modified kinesiologic analysis performed at selected players of football club TJ Sokol Černovice. Research sample is characterised here and the reasons why this sample was chosen are explained here.For the research itself anamnestic data were taken by the form of interview. After that aspection examination took place. Then the probands went through the line of the tests which invetigated the state of shoretning of the key muscles groups and their stabilizing function. According to above mentined components of investigation the final modified kinesiologic analysis was done. On the basis of in advance created subjective range which was definied by the therapist final evalution was set. Data gained during this analysis were compared with obtained anamnestic data. The aim of the thesis was to find out how much the quality of torso stabilizers and lower limbs together with the elasticity of lower limbs can be connected with the amount of injuries and with myofascial pain syndroms of a back and lower limbs.
