Title: Musculoskeletal assessment analysis of triathletes Objectives: The main aim of this master degree thesis is the diagnostics of the current condition of the complex kinesiological examination of musculo-skeletal system in elite performance triathtletes of the Czech National Team level (Junior and U23 categories), including compensational exercises specifically devised for triathlets. Futhermore with the help of the selected data this study is expected to draw some basic conclusions and establish the typical postural characteristics of athletes related to the sport of triathlon. Methods: In this thesis we have used following testing methods: complex musculo skeletal examintation including evaluation of medical history, an antropometrical screening, standing static postural assessment, gait assessment, soft-tissue palpation exam, assessment of the fundamental movement patterns of an individua, examination of neurological reflexes, flexibility and range of motion screening. Based on the above mentioned tests we have received a complete functional and musculo skeletal system profile of each triathlete's. For collection we have used the SPSS 22 data analysis software. For the gender diferentiation we have used non-pairred T-Test and for perofrmance variability within the 3 levels we have used...

Novák, Čestmír ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Kaplan, Aleš (referee)
Title: The influence of running shoes on leg and pelvis kinematics during the stance phase of run Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to detect whether there exists a connection between the type of shoes used and changes in pelvis and legs kinematics in sagittal plane while running. Methology: For a purpose of the thesis research 12 active sportsmen (6 men and 6 women) participated in lab tests. Each of them was running on a tread mill for three time sequences - each counting 20 seconds - with changes in conditions applied as follows: barefoot run, minimalistic shod run, classic shod run. The 3D analysis was analysed using the Qualisys system (200 Hz). Data analytics was executed using the Qualisys Track Manager programme, where a comparative method was applied. Further statistical procedures ANOVA a Tukey test were performed in a programme called OriginPro 8. Key findings: The executed lab tests proved influence of running shoes on legs and pelvis kinematics during a stance phase of run. The main changes in kinematics were found in an ancle during touchdown, where the angle significantly increased while running barefoot rather than classic shod running. An analysis of pelvis kinematics parameters has proven that there are no changes in pelvis movements while running in different types...

Evaluation of walking, running and overarm throwing of preschool children
Králová, Klára ; Kaplan, Aleš (advisor) ; Vindušková, Jitka (referee)
Title Evaluation of walking, running and overarm throwing of preschool children. Work objectives The thesis aim is to identify and assess the level of selected movement skills of walking, running and overarm throwing in preschool children from three to six years. Movement level will be determined using the manuals and methodologies written by Haywood. During the measurement, we will focus on gender differences in movement levels and movement differences between various age categories, thus between 3 - 4 and 5 - 6 years old children from the analyzed sample. The sub-objective is to determine whether manuals and methodologies, written by the mentioned author above, can be applied to preschool children in the Czech conditions. Methodology Physical level of preschool children was assessed qualitatively. Qualitative assessment of the walking, running and overarm throwing level was executed by observation. For a record of our observation, we used a digital camera, which enables more precise movement analysis by slow motion mode. The statically placed camera recorded movements from sides, front and back. Results 31 children including 18 boys and 13 girls were evaluated in overall. We have noticed that children acquire the walking best, because all 31 children reached the mature form of walking....

Nutrition for endurance runners
Koukol, Michal ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Kovářová, Lenka (referee)
Title: Nutrition for endurance runners Objective: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to explain the importance of training diet, particularly a diet for marathon runners in the age of 30 - 40 years. Proposal of diet composition for marathon runners. Methods: I conducted a literature research of czech and foreign sources regarding training diet to get relevant information. I also searched for scientific papers using the internet database EBSCO and Scorpus. Results: Recommended amount of carbohydrates increases with duration. 8 - 10 g/kg of body weight is needed for a race lasting 2 - 4 hours. Recommended amount of proteins is 1,2 - 1,6 g/kg of body weight. The amount of fats, recommended for endurance running, is 1 g/kg of body weight. The runner should be well hydrated. Dehydration decreases performance. It is recommended to drink isotonic sport drinks with carbohydrates added. It is recommended to eat polysaccharide snack with low glycemic index weighing 1 g/kg of body weight. Endurance performance can be enhanced by consuming 100 - 250 kcal of carbohydrates every hour after the first hour of the race. It is also recommended to consume carbohydrates with high glycemic index and proteins (the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins being 4:1) 30 to 90 min. after finishing the performance. Medium chain...

Development of fundamental movement skills through games and PA in preschool chldren
Kašparová, Alena ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Panáčková, Michaela (referee)
Characterization work: Fundamental locomotor skills are: walking, running, jumping, crawling and throwing. Their development is influenced primarily by games and movement activities. Control over those skills guarantees proper physical development of children and also make important prerequisites for an adoption of heavier and more complex skills. The levels of fundamental locomotor skills are evaluated by the diagnostic resources. Goal and purpose:I created inspiromat of games and movement activities in my work. These games and movement activities develop and improve fundamental locomotor skills - walking, running, jumping, crawling and throwing. This work inspired me, and also is inspiration for teachers and coaches. There are activities in the inspiromat which develop and improve fundamental locomotor skills of preschoolers. Problem solving: In the kindergarden Sluníčko the authority played games and movement activities with a group of boys and girls in an age of 5-6 years. I suggested, these games and movement activities, I got out of literature, longstanding practice, my ideas and experiences. Based on the observations I made inspiromat in which I included games and physical activities that work with children proved to be most appropriate. Inspiromat is divided in to sections according to the...

Hojka, Vladimír ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Otáhal, Jakub (referee) ; Kampmiller, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Myodynamics of the support phase during different take-off tasks in human locomotion Objectives: Six types of take-off movement were analyzed in terms of support limb kinematics, take-off dynamics and muscle activation, in order to identify differences in motor control. Methods: 14 male athletes (22.6 ± 4.4 years; 182.4 ± 5.3 cm; 74.7 ± 6.2 kg) took part in laboratory experiment. Each athlete performed six different take-off movements (running, acceleration - first and second step, long jump take-off, high jump take-off and take-off to the hurdle). System Qualisys was used to analyze kinematics of the support limb. Dynamic of the suport phase was measured with Kistler 9281 EA force- plate. ME6000 apparatus was used to measure the muscle activation. Results were processed and statistically evaluated in Matlab (MathWorks, Inc) environment. Pair ANOVA, T-test and Friedmann test were performed to identify differences between take-off movements. regression analysis was introduced to find the relationship between parameters. Results: Significant differences in take-off dynamics are realized with not so significant differences in kinematic and electromyographic parameters. high jump and long jump take-offs acted most specifically in comparison with other types of take-offs. Two typically...
