Performance in selected agility tests for football players
Vrabec, Ondřej ; Kokštejn, Jakub (advisor) ; Šťastný, Petr (referee)
Title: Performance in selected agility tests for football players. Objectives: The main aim of this thesis is to determine the agility level of elite soccer players (15-17 years) using two selected agility tests. The partial objective is to determine the relationship between agility tests. Methods: The main scientific methods of theoretical - empiric character are in field testing and observation. The research group included 31 players Motorlet Praha and 30 players Bohemians Praha 1905 categories U16 and U17. Basic descriptive statistics and correlation and regression analysis were used to evaluate the measured data. Results: Based on the results in using tests, was find out the higher level of agility of the players in category of U17 compared with younger players from the category U16. However, this difference was found out only between the teams of the club Bohemians Prague during the more in depth analysis. The players of the club Bohemians Prague 1905 from the category U17 achieved the best average results in both using tests.The players in category U16 of the club Motorlet Prague achieved considerably better time in Arrowhead agility test compared with the players from the club Bohemians Prague. In Illinois agility test achieved considerably better time the players in category U17 of the...

Vrabec, Ondřej ; Kokštejn, Jakub (advisor) ; Musálek, Martin (referee)
Title: Assessment of the level of condition, basic motor coordination, and football skills between two age categories of young football players. Objectives: Find out possible differences in the level of condition, basic motor coordination, and specific football skills between two age categories of young players (U14 and U15). At the same time, the aim is to determine the effect of different rates of biological growth on fitness performance, basic motor coordination, and football skills. The last goal is to find out the level of association between the indicator of the condition, basic motor coordination and football skills. Methods: The main scientific method of theoretical - empiric character was observation and testing. Research field consisted of the players of category U14 (n=24; Age = 13,79±0,49; Height = 166,1±8,42; Weight = 46,7±8,65) and U15 (n=25; Age = 14,8±0,33; Height = 173,17±7,39; Weight = 61,82±8,52) from the football club FK Motorlet Praha. The level of fitness was measured in tests of a sprint at 10 and 30 meters, 505 agility test, Illinois agility test, long jump, Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1. The level of basic motor coordination was determined with the Körperkoordinationtest für Kinder test battery (KTK test) containing 4 subtests: balancing backwards, jumping...

Regularities of orchestral play and and their significance for the conductor in the process of studying a piece
Vrabec, Ondřej ; Bělohlávek, Jiří (advisor) ; Bělohlávek, Jiří (advisor) ; Farkač, Hynek (referee)
Every game has its rules. A person with a healthily developed social instinct learns to respect them already since an early age. Have you crushed another person's mud pie, have you had your eyes open during the game of hide-and-seek, haven't you paid a forfeit while playing spin the bottle? Out goes you! Game rules are one of the few real examples of equality among people. In principle, while disregarding individual abilities, everyone has the same starting conditions on the starting line. Neither is the orchestral play spared the necessity of rules. They are numerous, highly sophisticated and moreover, they are individually tinged and vary from one ensemble to another. As human society has not managed, in the thousands of years of its existence, to establish rules for observing rules (and it could not have been managed), thus rules are being broken in the relationship of the conductor and the orchestra. What is more, many conductors do not have an idea about their existence. However, looking for rules and understanding them is a necessary precondition for achieving any artistic aim in a quick and effective way. Unfortunately they are not taught at schools, nor dealt with in books. In accord with my previous bachelor work I claim that the door to fully comprehend the rules will be opened mostly to the conductors, who learnt to know the orchestra from the inside and gained an irreplaceable experience of an orchestral player. The others must obtain necessary knowledge in the painful manner of trial and error virtually in the course of full operation of the orchestra, if they are motivated to look for them at all (in the best of cases). This study attempts to analyze some of the key rules of orchestral play in association with particular conductor approaches (introduced anonymously), so that it can hold the mirror of self - reflexion up to the conducting profession. The mirror is small with its format A4, but it is highly transparent and thus it brings a picture (to me at least), which is not distorted in any way, the picture of different prerequisites for the profession of a conductor and an orchestral player...
The work is divided into three major thematic spheres. The first one is concerned with the laws of creating orchestral colours. It illuminates the significance of sound timbre as an indicator of correctness of play technique practices and coordination of a group of homogeneous instruments in time micro - intervals. It deals with the specific ability of some instruments to thicken orchestral sound, including solution proposals. It ponders on the question of an effective use of vibrato as a means of expression in the relation to the timbre quality of sound. It describes techniques of blending instrumental timbres convincingly. It also touches marginally upon the influence of the seating of an orchestra on the resulting sound performance and principles of sound behaviour in an acoustic space.
The second chapter is dedicated to intonation. It emphasizes that a convincing result of intonation cannot be separated from tone timbre. It analyzes in much detail the problematics of fluctuation of orchestral intonation, the clash of tempered and natural tuning, combined intonation of instrumental sections, the influence of seating of an orchestra on the intonational orientation of players, balancing and tuning of consonances and other laws.
The last chapter concerns psychology of the play. It deals with mutual relations of the conductor and orchestra and it seeks ways in which the conductor can assist the players during the play from the psychological point of view.
