Influence the stabilization of the contralateral lower limb on the accuracy of a football kick
NĚMEC, Ondřej
This thesis is focusing on the kick accuracy in football. Kick accuracy is an important aspect of the game, therefore all playes around the world are practicing it during every training session. The thesis is divided into two main sections theoretical section and practical section. In the first, theoretical section, the history of football and the locomotor moves that are omnipresent during the game are described. Additionaly, I describe the various different kicking styles and what muscles are in use during these. The anatomy of the lower limb and kineziology of the hip joint, knee joint and astragalar joint are also described in the theoretical section. In the second, practical section the method of own research was applied. Three football players (22-23 years old) from TJ Hluboka nad Vltavou were examined and tested. All participants underwent complex check-in and check-out kinesiology analysis. Anamnesis was gained through interviews. Every participant underwent the following tests: glance examination, palpation, anthropometric examination, goniometric examination, the examination of the game of the joints, the examination of the stereotypical moves, the examination of shortened muscles and functional tests. The last testing was my own football kick accuracy testing which was tested in different situations. The therapy lasted for the duration of 6 weeks, the sessions lasted for 15 minutes twice a week. A specific excercises were used with focus on stabilization of the lower limb. It contained elements of dynamic neuromuscular facillitation (DNS). The main focus of the thesis was to find out what impact have specific static stabilizations of the lower limb on the kick accuracy. As a result of the research, two participants improved their kick accuracy. Their lower limb became more stabilized and their shortened muscles stretched. This thesis can become an impulse for future research involving more participants to ensure objectivity. This thesis can be of benefit for football coaches or fyziotherapists who help players with their technique and rehabilitation.

Raštica, Marek ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Špecián, Petr (referee)
This paper examines the impact of unemployment on the attendance of football matches in the highest Czech competition - Gambrinus League. The influence is studied and researched by using data from seasons 2010/2011 to 2012/2013, which contains 720 observations. The results show that the effect of unemployment is positive, but its explanatory power is due to problems in the model very low. Other results showed that rivalry influences the attendance at football matches the most, and that increases attendance by 36.5 %. A positive influence is also a broadcast matches on TV, such matches involve about 23 % more fans than when the television is not broadcasting them. More than 20 % of increase in attendance causes every achieved point from the average score values gained in the last three matches. Every one percent increase in population increases the attendance up to by 4.9 %. Positive effects on attendance had also factors of temperature and age of the club.

Eseje o ekonomii sportu
Lahvička, Jiří ; Chytil, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Schwarz, Jiří (referee) ; Pertold Gebická, Barbara (referee)
This dissertation consists of five articles about economics of sports. The first three articles investigate various types of outcome uncertainty and how they relate to match attendance demand, while the remaining two articles test the efficiency of sports betting markets. The first article presents a new method of calculating match importance. Unlike the previous approaches in the literature, it does not require ex-post information and can be used for any type of season outcome. The second article shows that the additional playoff stage in the Czech ice hockey "Extraliga" lowers the probability of the strongest team becoming a champion and thus increases seasonal uncertainty. The third article demonstrates that the inconsistent findings in the literature about the link between match uncertainty and attendance could be explained by wrongly specified regressions, proposes a new approach to analyzing the effect of match uncertainty and shows that attendance demand is maximized if teams of the same quality play against each other. The fourth article examines the favorite-longshot bias in the context of betting on tennis matches. It shows that the favorite-longshot bias pattern is consistent with bookmakers protecting themselves against both better informed insiders and the general public exploiting new information. The fifth article investigates the supposedly profitable strategy of betting on soccer draws using the Fibonacci sequence. The strategy is tested both in a simulated market and on a real data set and found to lose money.
