The theoretical part firstly deals with the topic of self-tracking itself, then examines the uses and gratifications theory and the theory of online communities. The analytical part is devoted to description, analysis and interpretation of the results of the author's own survey, in which 844 runners of whom 754 practice self-tracking participated. Several hypotheses concerning sociodemographic structure, running characteristics, motivation, gratifications and safety were formulated.

Hanzlová, Radka ; Špaček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Marie (referee)
The thesis deals with the gender inequalities in sport, specifically with the inadequate representation of women in management and decision-making positions in national sport organisations. The main aim of the thesis is, through the gender structure of members and management positions, to capture the gender aspects of sports culture, besides other things in time perspective, through which it is possible to consider the stability or change. On the basis of the carried out quantitative research, in which first the typology of sport organisations using the cluster analysis was created and then consequently the results of the gender analysis of the management structure were applied to it. It is possible to claim that sport organisations contribute to maintaining the masculine culture of sport. The main indicator is the predominance of men both in membership and mainly in the management of sport organisations, in which men strongly dominate, apart from sports, which are explicitly considered as feminine. In the background of the discovered results lies the gender significance of sport in society, i.e. whether it is a men's or women's sport, as well as the organisational culture of each sport organisation, which is closely linked with the social policy of the given country. The results of the thesis, which...
