Impact of gear and weaponry on muscle activation in the direct front kick
Oláh, Vladan ; Vágner, Michal (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Title: The influence of equipment and arms on skeletal muscles activities while practising direct kick. Aim: The aim of this thesis was to find out the influence of carried equipment and arms on the activity of skeletal muscles when a direct front kick is being practised. The methods used: This thesis has an empirically observational character. Muscular activities were measured by means of surface electromyography synchronised by Qualisys screen system. To obtain statistic data, a t-test has been used, requiring 5 % significance level. Results: While carrying a 15-kilogram load, the activity of skeletal muscles was not significantly reduced when performing a direct front kick. However, a 30- kilogram load caused a substantial reduction of skeletal muscular activities during the kick described above. After adding a 15-kilogram bag to another 15 kilograms in the form of a body armour, a helmet and arms, the muscular activity changed its features in a considerable way. Furthermore, most respondents proved 45-kilogram load to be over their limit. The equipment and arms of that weight led to the summation action potential, exceeding the power- coordinative functional reserve, and thus the deformation of the direct front kick technique. Keywords: close combat, EMG, equipment, arms, direct front kick

Foltmanová, Kateřina ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Title: Consequences of injuries on stability in ballet Objectives: The main aim of the study was to find out if injuries in the ankle and foot have a negative impact on dancers' postural stability. If so then the secondary objective of this study was to see if the injury of one leg affects also the stability of the other in a one-leg stand. Methods: First part of this thesis is a systematic review. The other part is quantitative research in a prospective, cross-sectional design study. Stabilometric data from all 24 female subjects were analysed and injured and uninjured dancers were compared. The data were measured by a FootScan pressure plate (RSscan International, Belgium). Tested positions were bipodalic stance with eyes opened and closed, bipodalic calf raise (relevé) and monopodalic stance on both legs. Results: The aims of the thesis have been fulfilled but both the hypothesis have been rejected. The results have shown better stability in injured dancers to non-injured dancers in three parameters - Total Travel Way of the centre of pressure (COP) in monopodalic stance on the right foot, mediolateral movement of COP in bipodalic stance with eyes opened and calf rise (relevé). No significant differences have been shown between dancers with one leg previously injured and the non-injured ones in...

Šebíková, Linda ; Maršáková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Title: The influence of the surface load distribution of the foot during dynamic movement in tennis Objectives: The aim of this work is to determine whether there is a change in the force load in the area of the sole of the foot during the forehand strike phase in an open position depending on the type of playing surface. Methods: The research was attended by 10 level I tennis players of ranging from the age of 17 to 28. Each of the players has played tennis for at least two years, train 2 - 3 times a week and has no limb injury in the past 12 months. Using the Pedar-X instrument, changes in the force of the plantar load during the forhend strike phase on clay and Casali surfaces were measured. To evaluate these changes, the contact forces [N] (vertical reaction forces) were measured. First, an intra-individual foot impact assessment on the heel region and forefoot on the clay and Casali surface were performed using graphs of temporal force averages. Secondly, an inter-individual evaluation of the maximum force values in the region of the heel, midfoot, forefoot, hallux and lesser toes and whole feet of the foot was performed using the paired t-test statistical method. Results: The results of the work show that the different surfaces influence the size of the load as well as its plantar...
