Verification of finger flexor critical force as an indicator of maximal metabolic steady state
Outrata, Ondřej ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Bílý, Milan (referee)
Title: Verification of finger flexor critical force as an indicator of maximal metabolic steady state Objectives: The aim of this work was whether the 4-minute all out test reliably determines the level of critical force Methods: 7 participants did a 4-minute all-out test to determine the critical force during intermittent isometric contraction. Then they did 2 more tests: 2kg below and 2kg above the critical force from which the maximum metabolic steady state should be observed. Results: We found that participants failed to meet the prediction of the test that means that the critical strength determined by the 4 min all-out test does not represent a metabolic steady state.

Curve- fitting of the critical power in swimming for triathletes

Tittle: Curve- fitting of the critical power in swimming for triathletes Objectives: Comparison of curve-fitting of the critical power at swimmers and triathletes in different performance categories. Methods: This thesis is based on a research. The research took place in laboratories FTVS UK and there was used the swimming simulator called Biokinetic for test measurements. Elite swimmers, triathletes and hobby triathletes participated in the tests. Sportsmen took part in 4 tests. The first test - 10 crawl strokes, the second test - 20 crawl strokes, the third test - 50 crawl strokes and the fourth test - 200 crawl strokes. The obtained data were worked out by using T-test and they were written into tables and charts in programs Excel and Word. There was used program PASW Statistics 18 for statistical processing. Results: It was discovered, that there were no differences in performances in tests by using Biokinetic between swimmers and triathletes. Hobby triathletes made the same performances as elite triathletes. The biggest difference in performances was at female hobby triathletes, who were worse than female elite triathletes and female swimmers. Keywords: Critical power, swimming, triathlon, Biokinetic, testing
