Motivation to sport climbing
Brezina, David ; Turčová, Ivana (advisor) ; Baláš, Jiří (referee)
Title: Motivations of Climbers for Sport Climbing Objectives: The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to determine what motivates climbers to engage in the activity of sport climbing. Additionally, we investigated the influence of age, gender, and duration of climbing practice on climbers motivation. Methods: The research was conducted through a survey among 78 sport climbers (37 women and 41 men) in the Czech Republic. The survey inquired about various aspects of climbing motivation, such as personal reasons, risk perception, and social factors influencing participation in climbing activities. The survey included a total of 14 closed or semi-closed questions with selectable options. The results were processed using Microsoft Excel and Google Forms. Results: We found that the most common motivations for sport climbing are: overcoming personal limits and fears, the desire for physical improvement, the social aspect-meeting friends and building community, and the climbing activity itself. Furthermore, we discovered that younger climbers tend to seek adventure and excitement more. Older climbers cited being in nature and the climbing activity itself as their main motives. Both genders mentioned the social and communal aspect as an important motivation. Men leaned more towards the physical challenge and...

Effectivity of localized and whole-body active recovery strategies after exhaustive isometric finger flexor performance
Sechterová, Hana ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Author: Title: Objectives: Methods: Results: Bc. Hana Sechterová Effectivity of localized and whole-body active recovery strategies after exhaustive isometric finger flexor performance Determine the effect of localized and whole-body active recovery on repeated exhaustive isometric performance of fingers flexors. Determine the effect of systemic and muscle oxygen kinetics on level of recovery of fingers flexors during two types of active recovery. 7 men (age 31,3 ± 8,3) and 6 women (age 30,7 ± 8,1) underwent tests of systemic and muscle oxygen kinetics, then repeated intermitent isometric contractions of fingers flexors until exhaustion in three visits. The randomly chosen type of active recovery (with global enagaging of muscles, with isolated engaging of fingers flexors) was applied among tests until exhaustion. The performance of fingers flexors until exhaustion was measured in the intermitent test (8 s contraction, 2 s relaxation). Systemic oxygen kinetics (VO2max) was measured by using maximal oxygen consumption and ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VT2). Muscle oxygen kinetics was measured by using infrared spectroscopy. The relationship among systemic and muscle oxygen kinetics and decrease of fingers flexors performance until exhaustion was calculated using the Pearson correlation...

First ascents in Big Walls
Beneš, Ondřej ; Vomáčko, Ladislav (advisor) ; Louka, Oto (referee)
Title: First ascent in Big Wall The sumary: This thesis is devoted to rock-climbing and especially to unique big wall climbing. This thesis is focused on a special discipine of the climbing Big Walls - first ascent. It should provide complete strategy and technique of big wall rock-climbing. It consists of history of Big Wall climbing, basic equipment, technique, tactics, methods of first ascent and many other specific aspects. This thesis should also help with comprehension of the basic as well as the more specific technique of firs ascent in the Big Wall. Keywords: Mountaineering, Big Wall, first ascents

Subculture of the Adrspach Sandstone-Climbers
Bergmanová, Šárka ; Dušek, Libor (advisor) ; Janeček, Petr (referee)
This bachelor work is about subculture of "sandstone climbers" in Adršpach area and it is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical one. Theoretical part explains key words such as culture, subculture, sandstone climbers, climbing, rock climbing and etc. There is described geographical context of natural heritage in Adršpach and its certain climbing rules in this area. Sandstone climbers are defined as a specific subculture thanks to their approach to life, lifestyle and the way of thinking, which are very tightly connected to this location of sandstone towers and pillars. Because of the typical and traditional way of climbing on the soft and fragile sandstone, you can find specific kind of people - climbers as well. Practical part shows the historical/anthropological analysis of the sandstone climbers subculture in Adršpach, which comes from the ethnographical research realized through participant observation and poly structured interviews with selected sandstone climbers and non climbers from this area. This subculture is described through the historical process since the beginning of the climbing in this area till present and there is defined its previous and certain essence with importance on identity, life's philosophy and social practice its members.

Theoretical part also contains a history of a rock climbing, introduction to rock climbing equipment, a rock climbing disciplines and the specific environment. Major part of this thesis describes a grading scales, climbing styles and some rock climbing organizations. Safety of children is also important chapter in the theoretical part. Practical part of the thesis is divided into three parts. First is the mapping of rock climbing opportunities in Pilsen. Next one is the case study of rock climbing club. This part is supported by an interview with rock climbing instructor. The last part is a questionnaire research.

Choice Experiment - The Preferences of Climbers for the Individual´s Decision Making about the Choice of Recreation Area
Petrovajová, Gabriela ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Vojáček, Ondřej (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerned with the use of the choice experiment method for modelling the demand for recreation of rock-climbing in Czech Republic. The main scope of this diploma thesis is to find the main atributes for the individual's decision making about the choice of recreation area and derivation of their implicit prices. The next point of this diploma thesis is to find out a socioeconomic sctructure of the respondents. The theoretical part involves an explanation of the main economic terms, a detailed description of the choice experiment method and a list of papers concerned with a rock climbing. The practical part describes the procedure of the aplication choice experiment method step by step -- the questioning preparation, the data survey, the data analysis and the interpretation of results. The conditional logit is used to the choice experiment analysis.
