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

Title: Evaluation of assumptions and performance in triathlon (case study) Objectives: The thesis aims at evaluating long-term training process of a top triathlete, a junior triathlon representative of the Czech Republic from 2009 to 2011. The principle objective of the thesis is the evaluation of the achieved results and of long-term development from the training point of view. Methods: We have used qualitative and quantitative methods in our thesis. Both general and specific training indicators have been processed graphically in the Excel program. Performance and prerequisites for triathlon have been evaluated by means of radial diagram. The analysis of training diaries has lead us to searching for links between training, social background and the state of health of the triathlete and to finding out how these factors have influenced her three-year sport period. Results: We have determined the regular rise of the training capacity every year. The SCM tests have discovered both strong and weak points of the triathlete. The research has ascertained that the necessary training conditions have led to the sporting growth of the individual. Keywords: diagnostics, general indicators, specific indicators, ray chart

Title: The relationship between rest and the maximum spirometric indicators in the triathlon Made by: Bc. Zdeněk Kučera Supervisor: Mgr. Lenka Kovářová, Ph.D., MBA Objectives: The aim of thesis is to analyze the relationship between rest and the maximum spirometric indicators for triathletes, who are members of the SCM. It will be also determined whether the analyzed indicators show statistically significantly better performance of triathletes in the representation compared to other triathletes in the SCM. Methods: Data were collected on basis of standard test, which was attended by triathletes in term of SCM. Data were statistically analyzed based on correlation analysis and unpaired non-parametric test. Statistical significance was assessed at the level of 0.05 or 0.01. Results: In the group of men can be confirmed that between rest and maximum indicators is statistically significant correlation relationship (except for respiratory rate and the economy). Another output is achieved for women, a statistically significant relationship exists mainly between rest spirometric indicators and tidal volume and respiratory rate. Higher values of VO2max is achieved in groups with better performance, this is valid for both group of men and women. Keywords: diagnostics, maximum oxygen consumption, vital...

Berka, Martin ; Kovářová, Lenka (advisor) ; Horčic, Josef (referee)
Tittle: Comparison of methodologies for the identification of anaerobic threshold in cycling part of the triatlon Triathlon is an endurance sport combining in a complex of three different sports - swimming, cycling and running. It is a time-consuming sport, where the effectiveness of the training must be at a high level. From the structure of performance in triathlon and the related management training results as the most important prerequisite of effective training to know the individual tracks heart rate and achieved watt performance on the level of the individual anaerobic threshold. To identify and track these values using are used continuous measurements and verifications. One of the most commonly used methods is load diagnostics. Objective: The aim of the thesis is to research literature on load diagnostics. Based on the findings obtained to choose the most frequently used diagnostic test load, which is than applied to the experimental group and the results are statistically compared showing whether there are signifiant differences in the results obtained from the use of different tests. Furthermore, to continue to determine which tests are the most appropriate for evaluation of fitness triathlon in the cycling part of the triathlon. Methodology: The selection and use of selected tests:...

Jurič, Miroslav ; Kovářová, Lenka (advisor) ; Horčic, Josef (referee)
Title: Effect of cycling on the overall performance in triathlon Objectives: The aim is to determine the influence of the cycling part on the total performance in the individual disciplines of triathlon. Methods: I used a linear regression for the determination of influence of cycling part on the total performance. The investigated values were compared in a column graph. Results: The dependence, rated by coefficient of determination by disciplines with allowed ride in the lee was "low" (R2 =0,069; R2 =0,01). The influence of the cycling section on the total result in triathlon was higher by disciplines without the chance of the lee than by disciplines with allowed ride in the lee. The influence by disciplines with allowed ride in lee was less than 10%, and it was 36 % by discipline with banned ride in the lee. The cycling section of a long triathlon didn't influence the total result more than the running part of a long distance triathlon. The influence of the running part was 7% higher. The cycling part affected the total result in an off-road triathlon a lot. The value 81 % means a big influence of the cycling section on the total result in an off-road triathlon. Keywords: Short triathlon, long distance triathlon, XTERRA, World championships
