Morphofunctional characteristics and physical activity profile in Czech elite traceurs
Vašurová, Barbora ; Musálek, Martin (advisor) ; Kinkorová, Ivana (referee)
Theme: Morphofunctional characteristics and physical aktivity profile in Czech elite traceurs Aims: The aim of the work is to describe anthropometric and somatic characteristics and movement profile in elite Czech parkourists. Methods: The research group consisted of 20 men of the elite category of traceurs, (actively competing, n = 5, competing in community competitions, n = 8 and noncompetitors, n = 7). To obtain the necessary parameters, the following will be used: 1. parameters of body typology according to the somatotype methodology (Heath and Carter, 1967). 2. Parameters of body composition and bone health obtained from Dualenergy X-ray absorptiometers (DXA) according to Hologic methodology 3. Parameters of physical activity profile obtained from Actigraf GTX9 according to Actilife methodology. Results: The average somatotype of the evaluated traceurs was 1.8±0,7 - 4.9±0,9 - 3.0±0,7, which means classification into the category of ectomorphic mesomorphs and group B, characteristic of versatile gifted individuals. The traceurs' somatotypes were different with regard to their categorization. The highest values of the mesomorphic component were measured for the group of active competitors and the highest values of the ectomorphic component in the group of non-competitors. Parkourists had an...

Parkour as a new gymnastic sport
Vašurová, Barbora ; Krištofič, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kolbová, Kateřina (referee)
Theme: Parkour as new gymnastic sport Aims: The aim of this work is to introduce parkour as a new gymnastic sport and, based on the somatotypes measurements, define optimal profile of an athlet for this kind of sport with expressing differences in somatotypes with respect to individual parkour disciplines. Methods: To identify optimal parkour somatotype, there was made the measurement which includes survey of body weight using personal scale, height using altimeter, a biceps circumference in the contraction and calf circumference using measuring tape, a biepycondillary dimension of the humerus and femur using thoracometer and the thickness of skinfolds on the triceps, under the shoulder blade, over the hip, and calf using caliper pliers. The measured values of individual parameters were processed using Excel. Results: The group of probands participating in the research was composed of 50 men and 10 women who are doing this new gymnastic sport. Statistical processing of somatic characteristics of individual probands and its conversion into graphic format resulted in graphs of optimal somatotypes for this new sport separately for men and women. Due to the low number of probands who are doing parkour at a higher level, 10 men were selected for each discipline and 3 women (Czech national team), which...
