Title: ACL injuries in female soccer players and possible prevention Objectives: The aim of this work is to compile a test battery that becomes a tool to detect and forecast potential injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in women playing football. It should also serve to reduce the total average number of injuries in women's football. Methods: The theoretical part of the thesis is elaborated using literary research. The starting point is available foreign literature, technical articles and foreign studies. I focused mainly on articles related to primary prevention in women ACL. Results: Among the highest risk factors we include join laxity (flexibility), insufficient muscle strength of lower limbs, weakened deep stabilizing system, functional ration of muscle strength on the back and front of the thigh, technique of landing, valgus position of knee joint, poor level of football skills and fatigue. We designed motoric tests that reveal a deficit for given area and we compiled a test battery which enables early diagnosis. Motoric tests that form designed test battery are active raise leg, deep squat, rotational stability, extensional test, hurdle step, test of knee joint valgus position and agility test. Keywords: women's soccer, injury, prevention, ACL, diagnostics

Thema works: Comparison of the annual training cycle in the selected Czech elite women in sprinting Student: Pavlína Vostatková Supervisor: Dr. Aleš Kaplan, Ph.D. Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze the annual training cycle (RTC) in selected Czech elite women sprinters, in which the maximal performance in 100 m run was reached, and to compare the uniform training system and recommendations for sprinters of comparable level of performance with the reality of the training program of selected sprinters. The analysis focused on methodological procedure, application of selected special training indicators (STU), their volume and intensification in various stages of sports training. Methodology: The content analysis of training diary was used as a method of the thesis, in particular the annual training cycle, in which the sprinters achieved personal maxima in 100 m run. Thus RTC 1996/1997 and 1992/1993 in sprinter P. V. and H. B. were analyzed, respectively. In the training diaries selected general training indicators (OTU) and STU for sprinters in athletics were obtained and reviewed. Model values for the age category of 21-23 sprinters (Moravec, Hlína a kol., 1984) were used in the comparison of selected OTU and STU of the selected sprinters. The model values for the 19-year-old sprinter H. B....

The Appearance of the reflex locomotion elements in the hurdle clearance stride
Musil, Daniel ; Hojka, Vladimír (advisor) ; Kaplan, Aleš (referee)
Title: The Appearance of the reflex locomotion elements in the hurdle clearance stride Thesis Objective: The main objective of this thesis is to state the frequency of the presence of reciprocal inhibition (RI) and cross extensor reflex (CI - contralateral inhibition) during hurdle overrun. Methods: The subjects were tested during running over three hurdles with modified distances similar to the 110m hurdles. The height of the hurdles was set to 0,99 m. The muscle activity was monitored by surface electromyography and video was recorded simultaneously. The hurdle clearance was divided into particular phases which altogether formed one cycle. Collected data was analyzed by the software Megawin (rectification, smoothing, and synchronization with camera) and subsequently converted into software MATLAB. Nine cycles of each subject were averaged. Such modified cycle was evaluated consequently. Results: Reflex locomotion (RI and CI) was presented more often in the group with less experience with the hurdles. Co-activation of antagonist muscles was typical for the group consisting of more experienced individuals, rather than RI and CI. Key Words: hurdles, biomechanics, sEMG, reciprocal inhibition, contralateral inhibition

Kůta, Radim ; Vindušková, Jitka (advisor) ; Kaplan, Aleš (referee)
In our work we analyzed the performance of the members 14-15 years old of the sport centres (SpS) 2014 . We compared the members of SpS with school population from the study of Pávek (1977). The basic motoric tests were 50 m run, standing long jump, the medicine ball throw 2kg and the 12 minute run. The memberes of SpS 2014 were significantly better than school population from the study of Pávek (1977). We compared the meberes of SpS with the athletes of ČSTV (1982). The athletes of ČSTV (1982) were significantly better than the meberes of SpS 2014 in motoric tests: standing long jump and 12 minute run. Furthermore, we found that general physical performance of sprinters specifically reflected in their athletic performance.
