The vital capacity of lungs in novice figure skaters
Hrdličková, Kristýna ; Sedláčková, Marie (advisor) ; Šťastný, Petr (referee)
Title: The vital capacity of lungs in novice figure skaters Aims: The main aims of this study were 1. to compare the forced vital capacity (FVC) at rest between young female figure skaters and girls of the same age; 2. to find how the free skate influences respiratory functions in young female figure skaters. Method: A personal spirometer was used to test the 20 young female figure skaters aged 11-14 years in this empirical research. Data from a festival of sport for kids "Sporťáček" were used to compare FVC among young female figure skaters and athletes from several other sports. Data were analyzed using non-parametric statistic methods. Results: Compared to athletes from other sports, FVC of young female figure skaters was significantly lower, the same result was also found after conversion on FVC index (FVC/BMI). The level of selected respiratory measures did not differ significantly immediately after free skate nor a minute after the performance. However, there was an increasing trend found immediately after free skate compared to the level at rest. Conclusions: Specific training loads in the figure skating may negatively influence FVC. FVC as well as some other respiratory measures may slightly increase immediately after performance. Key words: figure skating, spirometry, breathing, older...

Compensation exercise like a supplement of young school age children in figure skating
Nowická, Eva ; Hráský, Pavel (advisor) ; Prajerová, Květa (referee)
Title: Compensatory exercise as a complement to the training schedule for children of younger school age in figure skating Objectives: The main objective of this work is to identify the most frequently occurring muscular dysbalance in the studied group of younger school-age figure skaters. Therefore, in order to find out the fundamental deficiencies, we used simple tests and based on the deficiencies, we created a buffer of compensatory exercises. We will verify the results using the same tests as at the beginning of the initial measurement after the three-month preparatory period. Methods: In my work I used a functional muscular test to assess the flexibility and examination of a physiotherapist with the help of the MFK system. We do not only measure the muscular strength of the main muscle in individual tests, but we also investigate and analyze the performance of the whole movement. Testing was attended by five figure skaters in the younger school age. Results: Initial testing took place at the start of the preparatory period. A 3-month compensation program was then applied and after the test, the probands were again tested to determine the effect. The results of this work are described in the tables. The result of this work is that the most problematic parts were the abdominal, back muscles and...

Čtrnáctá, Dita ; Sedláčková, Marie (advisor) ; Pravečková, Petra (referee)
Title: Analysis of the World Championships 2005-2017 Objectives: The main aim of this thesis is to analyse the sport performance of solo figure skaters in the World Championships. After that changes in development of these performances of women and men skaters are researched. Another aim is to predict the development of sport performance of figure skaters in the next four years. Methods: In creating this thesis methods of correlation and regression analysis, literature research on the basis of content analysis and personal experience in the field of the research have been used. Results: This thesis confirms the increasing tendency of sport performance in single skating in the World Championships. The greates portion of the increase falls on the increasing difficulty of the included jumping emelent. The prediction of acquired points for the best man in the World Championships ain 2018 is 216 points with probability 83 % and for best lady, it is 153 points with probability 74 %. Keywords: points for elements, figure skating, new judging system, program components, sport performance

Compensation exercise like a supplement of young school age children in figure skating
Nowická, Eva ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Vařeková, Jitka (referee)
Title: Compensatory exercise as a complement to the training schedule for children of younger school age in figure skating Objectives: The main aim of this work is to highlight muscle dysbalance and their subsequent weakening and hypermobility in younger school age children in figure skating. Based on these weaknesses, create a stack of release, stretching and exercise exercises that can be used under any circumstances. Methods: In my work, I used a Janda muscle test, an analytical method that was focused on determining the strength of each muscle group. In individual tests, we are not only measuring the muscular strength of the main muscle, but we also investigate and analyze the performance of the whole movement. I was based on qualitative and quantitative values. Results: The measured data were compared and evaluated according to the literature. The impact of one-sided load in the long-term sports practice of figure skating was confirmed. It has also been shown that these exercises can be used for this particular set of probands to compensate for unilateral loading and adjust the training so that compensatory exercises are part of the training. Furthermore, I managed to design a program that would reduce these weaknesses for this selected group of probands. Keywords: Figure skating, training,...

Evolution of Prize Money for the first places in selected sports
Rybářová, Adéla ; Štědroň, Bohumír (advisor) ; Kocour, Vladimír (referee)
Title: Evolution of Prize Money for the 1st places in selected sports Objectives: The main aim of this Master Thesis is to analyse evolution of prize money for winners in selected competitions and disciplines of golf, tennis, athletics and figure skating and prognosis of their evolution until 2020. Another goal is to compare the results of this prognosis and try to determine what influences the evolution. Methods: Methods used for prognosis of the future evolution are prognostic functions FORECAST and LOGLINTREND. Quality of prognosis is based on the Theil Index of Inequality. Trendline is also used to determine future evolution of the data. The correct trendline is chosen based on its reliability value. Results: Result of this theses is the discovery that prize money in history was progressively growing especially in traditional tournaments in tennis and golf. In younger series of competitions in figure skating and athletics prize money remained constant within the years. Prognosis suggests further increase in prize money in Grand Slam and Major tournaments and stagnation in Diamond League and ISU Grand Prix. Keywords: prize money, prognosis, professional sport, golf, tennis, athletics, figure skating

Somatic characteristics of female figure skaters in the Czech Republic
Kroulíková, Soňa ; Honsová, Šárka (advisor) ; Kovářová, Lenka (referee)
SOMATIC CHARACTERISTICS OF FEMALE FIGURE SKATERS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC Objectives: The aim of the thesis is to find out specific somatic characteristics and somatotypes of female figure skaters in the Czech Republic. Subsequently relationships between measured somatic characteristics and normative of general population, and relationships between actual data and previous studies of female figure skaters are being examined. Methods: We use somatometric measurements to determine selected somatic characteristics (weight, height, eg.). We use the Heath-Carter method of somatotyping. Results: Female figure skaters are smaller than general population of the same age. In terms of physical height, one half of figure skaters is above population average while second half is under the average of population. Female figure skaters in this study are taller and heavier than figure skaters in previous study (Šelingerová, 1988) and they are more endomorphic. Prevailing somatotype is mesomorphic endomorph. Keywords: figure skating, somatic characteristics, somatotype, Heath-Carter method
