MURČO VIRŠÍKOVÁ, Klára
The bachelor thesis named Nutrition and its effect on the performance of extreme obstacle course racers aims to find out what effect nutrition has on the performance of extreme obstacle course racers and compares the change of the performance in the group of respondents with a fixed eating plan and in the group of respondents with no special eating plan. The theoretical part deals with the nutrition in sport and extreme obstacle races. For the research a quantitative method was used. The research file was made of two groups with two people in each group. The age of respondents was between 20 and 42 years. Each group consisted of one man and one woman. All four respondents were active athletes. One group had no special eating plan and respondents wrote down everything what they ate during the whole month and the other group had a fixed eating plan made in Nutriservis Professional program which respondents strictly followed. The whole research lasted one month and all respondents were tested on InBody device at the beginning and at the end of the research. They also took part in physical tests. During the research respondents had common trainings twice a week and then they had the same individual trainings to minimize differences in the preparation. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to point out the importance of nutrition in the preparation for extreme obstacle races. Results of the research definitely show that respondents with the fixed eating plan had really better results in the end of the research. In the future this thesis could be useful in the preparation of racers for extreme obstacle races. This assignment is based on professional literature available on this topic.
