Analysis of the impact of a 10-day training camp at a higher altitude on performance of adolescent runners
NOVÁK, Daniel
Goal of this Bachelor thesis is to check, if there will be any changes of functional and biochemical parameters of the organism for medium and long length track adolescent runners during a 10-day training camp in high altitude around 1850 meters. Runners were subjected to functional laboratory examination both before and after the camp. All requisites were identical for both the control group and the runners who completed this camp. We were examining measured parameters of VO2max, resting heart rate, breath capacity, expiratory minute ventilation, pulse oxygen, respiratory rate, respiratory exchange ratio, heart rate during peak oxygen consumption and maximum watt performance. Most significant watched parameter was VO2max, where we saw an increase of 15,52 % from original 55,40 +- 7,73 ml-min-1-kg-1 to 64,00 +- 9,87 ml-min-1-kg-1 . Another one was resting heart rate, there was a decrease of 5,86 % for the runners after coming back to lowland compared to rates that were measured before the camp. Erythrocytes values increased by 2,38 %, haemoglobin by 2,69 % and haematocrit by 2,27 %. All these results show factual and statistical importance, the only parameter that didn't show any statistical importance was haematocrit. Result of our research confirmed, that 10-day training camp has a major impact on functional and biochemical parameters of the organism.
