Gerčáková, Daniela ; Bílý, Milan (advisor) ; Kovářová, Lenka (referee)
Title: Comparison of selected anthropometric parameters of competitive quadrathletes and racing kayakers. Objectives: The aim of this work is to assess the somatotype and anthropometric characteristics in elite athletes in marathon kayakers and quadrathletes. Methods: This research included the analysis and comparison of two groups of athletes. Using the Heath-Carter system of measurement, somatotypes were calculated using the computer formula, 'Somatotype - Calculation and Analysis'. Body composition was determined through the use of skinfold calipers SK in conjunction with noninvasive bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Specifically, the Tanita 980 MS and BIA 2000 measurement units. Results: Two research samples were developed (speed kayakers as one, quadrathletes as the other), whose results (set average) were compared. On the basis of anthropometric data and calculations, it was found that both research samples corresponded in their somatotype category, ectomorphic mesomorph. According to this research, the speed kayakers (with a focus on marathon distances), are generally taller and heavier than the quadrathlete sample, yet had relatively less body fat. Keywords: Somatotype, body composition, BIA, skinfold, quadrathlon, flatwater kayaking

Finding somatometrics figure at the quadriathlon
Gerčáková, Daniela ; Bílý, Milan (advisor) ; Horčic, Josef (referee)
Title of project: Finding somatometric figures at the quadriathlon Objectives of the work: Objective was to identify somatic factors quadriathlon current racers in and then compare them with competitors in the triathlon and canoeing gear. Methods of data processing: To measure the applied methods commonly used in somatometry and somatotypology (Fetter 1967, Heath-Carter 1967). Measurements were performed using Heath-Carter. Measurement data were processed using a computer program Somatotype - Calculation and Analysis. Results: Based on the mesurments we evaluated the basic anthropometric data file. Using a komputer program Somatotype - Calculation and Analysis was evaluated resulting file somatotyp quadriathlon. Our observed average value has somatotyp 2,8 - 4, 3 - 2,2. This average is the category somatotyp endomorphic mazomorphic. Keywords: somatotypology, somatotyp, quadriathlon, H-C method
