Didek, Zdeněk ; Oláh, Vladan (advisor) ; Prokešová, Eva (referee)
Title: Effects of Height and added Load on kinematic drop vertical jump in Military Personnel. Goal: This research investigated how added load affects the kinematics of lower extremities during drop vertical jump from different heights in military personnel. Methods: The character of this thesis was theoretical and empirical. It was a randomized trial with a cross-over design. The research population consisted of 23 army students (21.8 ± 1.8 years, 182.1 ± 9.4 cm 82.3 ± 7.2 kg) of Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of Charles University who performed jumps and subsequent lunges (drop vertical jump) from a height of 50 and 75 cm without non-PNZ and with PNZ (21.45 kg) of load carry. Dartfish (10.0) was used for dynamic valgus analysis. The data obtained were descriptively and statistically analyzed in Jasp (0.16.2) using repeated measures analysis of variance. The level of statistical significance was set at α=0.05. Eta-squared was calculated at η2 =0.066 and Cohen's d at d=0.626. Results: There was no evidence of main effect of load bearing with different jump heights on dynamic knee valgus. The descriptive statistics yielded only positive values for knee angles, indicating only dynamic varus. However, the effect of load carry and jump height on lower limb kinematics showed the following...

Normalization study of motor tests deadlift and medicine ball throw overhead backwards among members of the security battalion
Rolejček, Jan ; Sýkora, Karel (advisor) ; Vágner, Michal (referee)
Title: Normalization study of motoric tests deadlift and medicine ball throw overhead backwards among members of the combat support battalion. Objective: The aim of this study is to establish performance standards for the three- repetition maximum deadlift and the backward medicine ball throw overhead. The resulting standards will subsequently be used to expand the test battery for the occupational assessment in the 141st Supply Battalion. Methods: Standardized testing was employed, followed by the establishment of performance standards. The research sample of 204 participants was divided into three categories based on gender and performance groups. IBM SPSS Statistics, a statistical software program, was used for data analysis. Data normality was assessed for each category using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and graphical verification was conducted using Q-Q plots. Performance standards were created using a quartile-based calculation method, employing a four- point scale with ratings of excellent, good, satisfactory, and unsatisfactory. Results: For performance group C of males, the following standards were established for the deadlift exercise: excellent = 115 kg and above; good = 103 kg and above; satisfactory = 90 kg and above; performances lower than 90 kg are considered unsatisfactory. For...

The normalization study of the motoric tests focusing on strength, endurance and dexterity performance at the artillery and air force military personnel.
Šrámek, Antonín ; Vágner, Michal (advisor) ; Sovák, Libor (referee)
The normalization study of the motoric tests focusing on strength, endurance and dexterity performance at the artillery and air force military personnel. The physical preparedness of soldiers is an important component of the military's combat capability. In peacetime, soldiers increase their physical level in all-military training, where they also undergo physical performance examinations. Standardised motor tests are used for the objective assessment of physical performance, where it is necessary to set the norms to which the performance is assessed. The objectives This diploma thesis aimed to set the normsfor the motor test "Deadlift", "Hand Release Push-up", "3000-Metre Run" and "Carrying the Load", in which reliability during repeated measurements was also assessed. The method The research set consisted of 105 artillerymen for the first three above mentioned motor tests and 65 men (44 artillerymen and 21 men from the helicopter airbase) for "Carrying the Load". The set of soldiers was divided into age groups within five years. To calculate the norms, the normal distribution of the data was first verified and then the possible difference between the ages was compared using parametric and non-parametric ANOVA. Potential differences between the categories were compared using the Mann-Whitney test...

South Sudan's border formation process: the case of Abyei
Porubčanová, Lenka ; Mičko, Branislav (advisor) ; Doboš, Bohumil (referee)
The Sudan-South Sudan boundary has been the flashpoint of long-standing disputes between the two states. The most volatile area, however, is the oil-rich territory of Abyei. In the complexity of the localized zone, it is not only oil that forms the basis for the intractability of the two state's territorial disputes. This thesis aims to apply a newly developed theory of boundary formation that conveys broad insights into the possible drivers and factors of the border's state, not only in its technical definition. To this end, the thesis monitors some of the most influential factors compared across chronological periods. In such a mechanism, the thesis concretizes the state of the frontier by the selected structuralist theory. The extract further suggests a bidirectional relationship between the influence of state apparatus and border populations on the final borderwork. Therefore, the reflexivity of the population equally contributes to the border's state. This result demonstrates the theoretical model's broad applicability and a multidisciplinary explanation of the local border dispute fixation. Despite the limited scope, and hence the casual relationships examined, the thesis contributes to the debate on the stimulus for Abyei's territorial boundary tensions to some extent.

The role and significance of the Central Music of the Army of the Czech Republic in contemporary society
Hyneš, Ondřej ; Selčanová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Valášek, Marek (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the activities of the Central Music of the Army of the Czech Republic (CM ACR) which as one of the few military music ensembles in the Czech Republic withstood the gradual reduction of many military ensembles after the coup in 1989. The aim of the thesis is to map the activities of the CM ACR from 2010 to the present. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the composition of the orchestra, with emphasis on the repertoire and the musical production itself. The practical part follows, through a halfstructured interview and the journey of a few selected members of the CM ACR to become full members of this musical ensemble. KEYWORDS army, military music, tradition

Analysis of Czech army reserve units and their employment in crisis situations
PÍŠA, Daniel
The aim of the diploma thesis is the analysis of existing reserve units and the legal framework with respect to natural, entrepreneurial natural persons and legal entities, comparison with a similar system abroad. Analysis and evaluation of the level of readiness, equipment, and possibilities of deployment with regards to feasible tasks in crisis situations. The theoretical part deals with the general concept of reserves, the definition of Active reserves, the structure of command and control, and the system of requiring forces and resources of the Army, including Active reserves. It defines crisis situations and describes the possibilities of using Active reserves in crisis situations. It describes the reasons and way of calling Active reserves into active duty. It specifies the duties and requirements of the soldier's employer and at the same time the obligations of the Army towards the soldier's employer in Active reserves. It describes a similar types of Active reserves units abroad, specifically in the United States the National Guard and the Army Reserves. The practical part consists of a questionnaire survey, in which respondents comprised of Active reserves soldiers and professional soldiers who are dedicated to run Active reserves agenda. DOTMLPF-I, the military analysis, was conducted as well as SWOT analysis. The questionnaire survey was also used to directly ask targeted questions to complete the DOTMLPF-I analysis. The focus of the work was to obtain and analyse data and information. The conclusions are summarized in the evaluation of the possibilities of deploying Active reserves and at the same time, based on the processed results of analyses, specific recommendations for the short, midterm and long term are given.
