Analysis of several-year preparation of endurance runner
ŠTEFAN, Rostislav
The aim of our bachelor thesis is to analyze multi-year annual cycles of endurance runner at the level of the best Czech runners. Specifically, we analyzed the competitor's diaries from the 2012/2013 season to the 2016/2017 season. Based on the evaluation of the training diaries and the results of the competitor, we had a task to identify the causes of the performance improvement and then find possible reserves in the training, we also had to suggest changes in the training plan leading to an increase of performance. To evaluate the data we used content analysis. We also used the comparative method for data processing. In the analytical part, we were examining individual training indicators and performance curves of the athlete. The most important endpoints were the training indicators, the runner's resulting times, and the VO2max values, which increased from a baseline of 65 ml?min-1?kg-1 to a maximum value of 85 ml?min-1?kg-1. In most cases, our results show an increase in performance associated with an increase in training load during tracking.
