Rulík, Adam ; Perič, Tomáš (advisor) ; Vojta, Zdeněk (referee)
Title: The possibilities of virtual reality as a training tool in sports games - on the example of a chosen sports game Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to find relations between variables consisting of selected hockey-specific skills and cognitive functions. Methods: Result evaluation was done via descriptive statistics (average result of research group, standard deviation) and correlational analysis (Pearson (common), canonical). Results: Research group was made of 197 probands (ice hockey players), whose ages were between thirteen and fifteen years. All probands performed eight tests in virtual reality, whereas first four of them focused on cognitive functions and the remaining four on hockey-specific skills. In case of hockey-specific skills, players accomplished following outcomes: release time (percentile) x=92,54+3,24 spatial orientation (percentile) x=70,07+14,29 looking for open lanes (percentile) x=59,64 +9,73 verbal communication (percentile) x=54,03+23,50 correct decision (percentile) x=58,87+14,98. In case of cognitive functions, players accomplished following outcomes: recognition time (percentile) x=83,23+4,28 multiple objects tracking (percentile) x=49,03+14,59 detail recognition (percentile) x=91,11+14,20 time-movement anticipation (percentile) x=61,19+16,33 peripheral vision...

Title: Unilateral loading diagnosis in ice hockey Objectives: The primary objective of this work is to determine if junior field hockey players exhibit characteristic muscular imbalances in areas at high risk for unilateral loading. Sub-objective #1. Conduct a series of physiological tests (Patrick test, Thomas test, pectoralis muscle shortening test, ankle flexibility test, and left and right knee internal and external rotation tests) on junior field hockey players from four different teams to identify potential areas at high risk for unilateral loading. Sub-objective #2. Conduct a statistical analysis of the data collected to determine if there is a statistically significant unilateral strain in any of the areas tested and if there are significant differences between teams. Methods: In our study, the physical condition of the players was assessed using a modern Tanita scale and diagnostic exercise tests. Statistical methods such as t-tests, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, Wilcoxon test, and principal component analysis were used for data analysis. We also used Fisher's exact test and chi- square test to evaluate differences in frequency. A post-hoc test was then performed - Tukey's HSD test. Results: Our study identified statistically significant instances of unilateral load among hockey players...

Author: Vojtech Hedbavny Title: The effect of individual training in specialized goalie skating and skills on the speed of performing shuffle, T-push and slide in youth categories. Objectives: The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to test ice hockey goaltenders in the speed of their T-push, shuffle, and slide movements by creating a testing battery and training program, and subsequently comparing their results over a period of two months. Another objective is to determine whether the goaltender's age has an influence on the extent of the time change in the test. Methods: The research was conducted by testing nineteen ice hockey goalkeepers aged between eight and nineteen years. The entire experiment lasted for nine weeks during the competitive season. At the beginning of the first week, the initial testing took place, and at the end of the last week, the final testing occurred. Training stimulation took place during the nine weeks between the tests. Empirical quantitative research in the form of test measurements was used to gather data. For comparing the results in individual tests and illustrating the relationship between age and the rate of change over time in the test, I utilized a table, Spearman's correlation coefficient, and a box plot graph in Microsoft Excel. Results: Improvement was...

Pilná, Petra ; Musálek, Martin (advisor) ; Vojta, Zdeněk (referee)
Title: Somatotype and off-ice performance as predictors for long term hockey perspective in youth ice hockey players. Objectives: The aim of this thesis was to determine whether a player's somatotype and performance in selected off-ice tests predict a player's hockey perspective judged by coaches in youth hockey of the highest domestic competition. Methods: The thesis included 112 hockey players in highest youth league. The off-ice tests included 1. Illinois agility, 2. Illinois agility with a ball, 3. Five jump test, 4. Sit and Reach Flexibility Test, 5. Squat Jump, 6. Free Arm Countermovement Jump, 7. Pull ups, 8. 1500 m run. The somatotype was evaluated according to the method of Heath and Carter (1990). The analysis of variance with repetition was used to compare performances over time with respect to somatotype categorization. A paired T-test with a confidence level of 95 % (p < 0,05) was used to assess potential within-survey. Cohen's d was used for the paired T-test to estimate the clinical significance (effect size), with Cohen's d ≤ 0.3 determined as the clinically significant effect size. To estimate the degree of influence of the selected off-ice tests on game perspective was assesed by multiple regression analysis with significance p < 0,05 and adjusted R2. Results: The only significant...
