Využití běžeckého wattmetru STRYD pro stanovení úrovně VO2max u vytrvalostních běžců

Determining the limits of general endurance, critical power and maximal oxygen consumption is now a common part of the training process of professional athletes and their preparation to achieve the best possible sports results. Power is a very useful metric in cycling, but in recent years runners have also been trying to exploit its potential. Running power is only functional if it represents well the metabolic load of the organism. This thesis investigates the relationship between running power PO and oxygen consumption VO2, a representative of the metabolic load of the organism, in indoor and outdoor environments. Furthermore, thesis verifies the possibility of determining the VO2max level of runners using running power. The relationship between PO and VO2 is linear, for individual subjects the R2 is 0,95±0,07 in the indoor and 0,97±0,02 in the outdoor. For all subjects (TO) in the indoor the R2 takes the value of 0,67 and in the outdoor the value of 0,79. There was a difference of 1,2% (PO) and 3,7% (VO2max) between the values measured in the different environments. The model prediction from all TO in the indoor environment has an error of 3,5%.

Title: Obstacle course racing: the effect of obstacles on the total race time during a Spartan Race Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 30-burpee punishment on subsequent running speed (SPD), heart rate (HR) following a missed obstacle, and the final race standings during a OCR race. Methods: In our thesis we used a method of analysis in an official Spartan Race in the Czech Republic. 11 male OCR competitors wore a GPS and HR monitor, from which HR and SPD were measured. Three specific obstacles were chosen where nearly all competitors did burpees (spear throw), half did burpees (traverse wall), and nearly none did burpees (monkey bars). The HR and SPD were measured during the entire race, and specifically noted when the competitors arrived at left the obstacle. Results: The average HR of the entire race was 166.45 ± 3.34 beats per minute. The average time spent at the successful obstacles without burpees was 23 ± 17 seconds, while the average time spent at the unsuccessful obstacles with burpees was 124 ± 11 seconds. The change in HR over the course of successful obstacles was 0.79 ± 3.69 beat per minute, while the change in HR during unsuccessful obstacles with burpees was -3.00 ± 6.70 beat per minute. Total time spent at each obstacle correlated with the final...
