Oplištilová, Tereza ; Jurák, Daniel (advisor) ; Pokorná, Jitka (referee)
Title: Evaluation of selected motor tests and anthropometric indicators in young swimmers Objectives: The purpose of the diploma thesis is to evaluate selected motor tests and determine the level of selected anthropometric, explosive and strength endurance indicators in young swimmers aged 8 to 15 years, for which we compare whether and to what extent they influence each other. Methods: Data collection was performed by direct measurements in laboratories where somatic and conditioning parameters were measured. The data obtained by testing were processed using descriptive statistics in Microsoft Office Excel 2016. Summary tables and scatter plots were chosen for a clear representation of the data. Results: A total of 17 children aged 8 to 15 years of both sexes were included in the testing, which were divided by grade into group A (2008-2010) and group B (2011-2012). Based on the results, it was found that the arm span is closely related to the body height of the proband. The mean body height (group A-160.5 cm) and (group B-150.8 cm) were almost identical to the average arm span of these groups (group A-159.9 cm) and (group B-150.3 cm). In all probands, the laterality of the right arm was confirmed, and based on this finding, we found a link between laterality, stroke performance and force of...

Title: Comparison of parameters for measuring the movement of the upper limbs on land and water. The Aim: The aim of this work is to compare selected parameters of swimming performance and technique, obtained in a 25m pool, in a pool with countercurrent (Flum) and on a biokinetic simulator Biokinetic. The Methods: The data used in the diploma thesis were obtained by direct measurements in the swimming pool, in Flum and by means of the Biokinetic swimming simulator. SmartPaddles were used to collect data. The data were then evaluated by Trainsense software and processed into tables and graphs. The Results: Based on the results, we can state that the highest power (W) was always delivered on the Biokinetic. The biggest difference between the average performances of upper limb was in the right hand during the crawl, when the hand on the Biokinetic (257 N) gave 701% of the performance of the right hand in the pool (42.53 N). The results of the average force of the upper limb propulsion for Butterfly in the pool were 19.08 N for the right hand and 17.21 N for the left hand. For Butterfly in the Flum were 13.68 N for the right hand and 11.93 N for the left hand. During the crawl, the proband generated 12.66 N with the right hand and 13.96 N with the left hand. When swimming in Flum, the force values for...
Effect of strengthening exercises on Biokinetic to swimming performance at 50 m crawl
Nezdara, Jaroslav ; Jurák, Daniel (advisor) ; Pokorná, Jitka (referee)
Title: Effect of strengthening exercises on Biokinetic to swimming performance at 50 m crawl. Objectives: The aim of this work is to find out whether a two-month movement intervention performed on a swimming simulator (Biokinetic) will affect the swimming performance of a 50 m crawl by FTVS students. Methods: Five probands of the 2nd year of the follow-up study at Charles University FTVS participated in the research. The anthropometric data were obtained using the TANITA testing device. To determine the maximum endurance muscle strength of the upper limbs and other movement parameters, we used the Biokinetic device. In order to determine the maximum swimming performance, we carried out a swimming test for 50 m with the crawl technique. Interest activities were identified through a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by MS EXCEL and NCSS 2019. Results:The results show, that the Biokinetic weight training exercises had a positive influence on swimming performance at a distance of 50 m crawl in swimming pool. In the analysis of the technique of performing motion shots on Biokinetic, we found an increase in the frame frequency, but a decrease in the overall path. The increased in frequency according to our findings results in a reduction of the total path of the motion cycles. All probands experienced an...

Title: Comparative analysis of the crawl pattern and specific exercises. Purpose: The aim of the dissertation is to evaluate the coordination similarity ratio of involvement of selected muscles during the crawl swimming cycle as a target movement with imitation movement acts. Methods: The research study has the character of an intra-individual and inter- individual comparative analysis of the coordination characteristics of the movement system. This is a sequential triangulation of a quantitative-qualitative approach and an intragroup case study with an experimental way of getting data. Results: Muscle activation of selected muscles during the crawl did not show a significant difference in effect size compared to the imitation movements on the Biokinetic swimming simulator and exercising with swimming expanders. Keywords: Biokinetic, expanders, surface electromyography, swimming, swimming simulator,
