Public interest in winter activities during the coronavirus pandemic and the following season
Hádková, Kristýna ; Brtník, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bačáková, Radka (referee)
Název: Zájem veřejnosti o zimní aktivity v době koronavirové pandemie a v následující sezoně Cíle: Cílem diplomové práce bylo zjištění zájmu veřejnosti o běžecké lyžování a dalších zimních aktivit jako alternativ ke sjezdovému lyžování v době koronavirové pandemie a udržení v následující sezoně. Metody: Pro získání potřebných údajů pro tvorbu diplomové práce byl proveden kvantitativní výzkum prostřednictvím dotazníkového šetření. Dotazník byl zveřejněn na sociálních sítích, zodpovědět ho mohl každý starší 18 let. Z výsledků byly interpretovány závěry, které uvádí preferované zimní aktivity v době pandemie se zaměřením především na běžecké lyžování a jejich setrvání mezi volnočasovými aktivitami respondentů po uvolnění protiepidemických opatření. Výsledky: V době pandemie covid-19 v době uzavření sjezdovek pociťovali respondenti omezení i u běžeckého lyžování všechny skupiny respondentů, u všech skupin se však frekvence lyžování nejméně v polovině případů udržela či zvýšila. Zájem o běžecké lyžování setrval v 61,7 % případů i po uvolnění opatření a otevření sjezdovek. Při pandemii se téměř všichni věnovali nějakým zimním aktivitám i mimo lyžování, mezi nejvíce preferované patřily procházky (83,5 %), sáňkování a bobování (75,0 %) a běh (50,0 %). Po znovu otevření sportovišť zůstala většina těchto...

Risks of Alpine Hiking on Protected Climbing Routes
Šupka, Matěj ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Brtník, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Risks of Alpine Hiking on Protected Climbing Routes Aims: The aim of this thesis was to assess the risk factors of alpine hiking on protected climbing routes based on a current literature review. Methods: The primary sources were articles from the Web of Science and EBSCO databases. Results and conclusions: The total accident rate on protected climbing routes in Austria amounted to 1684 cases from 2008 to 2018. It was found that great progress has been made in terms of equipment and safety on protected climbing routes together with technical advancements in gear. The current equipment represents groundbreaking technology that significantly reduces the occurrence of serious injuries during this activity. However, when using fall absorbers, younger and lighter climbers are still at a higher risk of injury. Keywords: Via ferrata, alpine hiking, klettersteig, equipment, safety, trekking

Physiological response of a cyclist when using various components of a mountain bike.
Bížová, Michaela ; Brtník, Tomáš (advisor) ; Turčová, Ivana (referee)
Title: Physiological response of the cyclist's organism when using different mountain bike components. Objectives: The goal of this final thesis was to assess the different influence of bicycle components on the physiological response of the cyclists' organism using a systematic research. Methods: The main sources were searched in the scientific databases Taylor and Francis, Researchgate, ScienceDirect. In the included studies, individual researches were searched that were focused on the physiology of the body of the tested cyclists. These were experiments. These investigations investigated the overall performance using different cycling components. From the compared results of all researches, possible moderating factors of the influence of these components on the energy demand during driving were determined. Results:A total of 18 studies were used in this work, focusing on the physiological response of cyclists when using different components of a mountain bike and comparing somatic characteristics, including those of road cycling. Full-suspension mountain bikes provide greater comfort and shock absorption in off-road terrain, resulting in reduced physical exertion and energy demands during riding. Riding a bike with only front suspension was found to be more efficient and faster than using both...

The effect of altitude on the regeneration in alpine skiing - a review study
Štanglerová, Magdaléna ; Šteffl, Michal (advisor) ; Brtník, Tomáš (referee)
Background Training at high altitude, historically in natural conditions and now in created artificially hypoxic environments, has been used to enhance physical performance in a wide range of endurance sports for many years. For alpine skiing, which takes place naturally at higher altitudes, prolonged exposure to altitude hypoxia and low ambient temperature is specific. However, even here, some effects of this specific load on the athletes are still unclear. Objectives The aim of this thesis is to summarize the results of studies dealing with the topic of hypoxic training in alpine skiers and its effect on selected physiological parameters. Methods The thesis is conducted as a systematic review in accordance with the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Four electronic databases were used to obtain relevant sources - Web of Science (WoS), PubMed, Scopus and SPORTDiscus using the EBSCO database. Results A total of 234 potential publications were retrieved, of which 15 studies including data from a total of 294 probands, mostly elite alpine skiers, were used in the final systematic review. Seven studies used the normobaric hypoxia method and eight studies were conducted under natural conditions. Five studies looked at the acute effect,...

Risks, experience and benefits of ski mountaineering
Patera, Jiří ; Bačáková, Radka (advisor) ; Brtník, Tomáš (referee)
10 Abstract Title: Risks, experience and benefits of ski mountaineering Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate feelings, risks and benefits during ski mountaineeering. Methods: In this study, we used a survey which is one of the questionnaire techniques. It is a quantitative research. Graphical representation was used to process the results. 337 respondents aged 18-72 years took part in this study. Results: We learned in the survey that for most ski mountaineers the greatest experience they get out of a hike is nature. Furthermore, most ski mountaineers don't know what green exercise means, 61% of ski mountaineers claim that the biggest subjective risk is not knowing the terrain, and the biggest objective risk are avalanches (66%). Almost all respondents agreed that the biggest benefit they perceived to be the improvement of their mood due to endorphin release. Conclusion: Thanks to the conducted survey, we have found out which benefits and risks skialpinists perceive as the most significant. According to our findings, the release of endorphins and the associated improvement in mood are among the greatest physiological benefits. Avalanche risks were identified by the respondents as the most feared objective risks, while lack of terrein knowledge was the most commonly selected subjective risk by...
