Krejčířová, Klára ; Gnad, Tomáš (advisor) ; Jindra, Matouš (referee)
Title: Individualization of pre-race microcycle for cross-country skiers Objectives: The aim of the thesis was to estimate the appropriate load of selected competitors before the competition. Methods: The work is conceived as a case study. It is a quantitative research based on measured values obtained from the trainer Ercolina Upper Body Power. We estimated the appropriate load in pre-race microcycle of five elite cross-country skiers. Results: Collected data have prevented the pre-race microcycle to be identical for all competitors. We achieved microcycle individualization for each competitor, which lead to better physical and psychological preparedness. Keywords: cross-country skiing, double poling, load, simulator, heart rate

Toman, Lukáš ; Gnad, Tomáš (advisor) ; Matošková, Petra (referee)
Title: Occurrence and Prevention of Asthma in Youth Division Cross-country Skiers Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to determine the incidence of asthma in youth division cross-country skiers and its prevention. Methods: This thesis will comprise the method of survey and content analysis of documents. Hypotheses: No.1 Assume that asthma will have lower prevalence in youth division cross- country skiers than in adult cross-country skiers. No.2 Assume that the majority of the surveyed cross-country skiing coaches met with asthmatic symptoms in their athletes. Results: We found that 12% of youth division athletes suffer from asthma and 24% from allergies. Keywords: cross country skiing, respiratory diseases, bronchial asthma, exercise-induced asthma, allergy prevention.

Korbelář, Tomáš ; Sucharda, Jan (advisor) ; Gnad, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Analysis of general and specific physical conditioning tests in youth Nordic skiers and biathletes. Goal: The goal of thesis is judge the validity of individual general and specific physical conditioning tests in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and compare this way the youth categories in Nordic skiing and biathlon. Methods: From the test results of general and specific physical conditioning tests and results of the czech cup youth ranking as an index fo achievement in Nordic skiing and biathlon we did a correlation analysis to figure out the extent of dependence. With the help of correlation analysis we came to the conclusion that the tests in biathlon show stronger correlation to achievement than tests in Nordic skiing.

Analysis of the techniques and methodology of cross-country skiing for the visually impaired.
Svobodová, Renata ; Hruša, Jan (advisor) ; Šafránek, Jiří (referee)
Title: Analysis of the techniques and methodology of cross-country skiing for the visually impaired. Aim: The aim of this thesis is to create a set of training exercises in the snow for practicing the classic technique of cross-country skiing for the visually impaired. Methods: It is an empirical and theoretical work, which is based on an analysis of the movement of the visually impaired in cross-country skiing of classical technique. The structure of the work is led as qualitative research. To achieve the objective, we used observations, field measurements, photo and video documentation through digital cameras GoPro brand. Based on the analysis of movement each proband was evaluated from particular monitored exercises and based on the evaluation they got recommendations for training exercises on the snow. Results: With processing and subsequent evaluation of equilibrium and coordination exercises control, we found that visual impairment has a decisive influence on the balance on one ski and coordination of arms and legs which is the source of technical shortcomings. Conclusion: Based on the results of our work, we proposed a supplementary preparatory equilibrium and coordination exercises. Keywords: visual impairment, classic technique, cross-country skiing

This bachelor thesis is focused on nutrition indicators for competitive and profesional cross-country skiers. The main aim of the thesis is to describe the importance of the sports nutrition for endurance athletes and to compare different diets for two differently capable groups of cross-country skiers. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part comprises information about the physiology of cross-country skiing, in particular the important function of metabolism and morphological characterization of the cross-country skier. Furthermore, it describes specific requirements of the endurance athlete on a diet, individual macronutrients and micronutrients and describes proper diet supplements for endurance sport. The practical part summarizes results received on the basis of evaluation of the questionnaires about the characterization of the training and respondent's four-days-menus. The research data collection involved eight profesional and eight competitive cross-country skiers from the age 20 to 32. It was established that the profesional cross-country skiers have higher training capacity and therefore higher expenditure of energy than competitive cross- country skiers. The sportsmen's menu evaluation referred to the diet differences between both groups. The recommended energy intake...

Title: Analysis of cross country skier's practice coefficients and its impact on his endurance. Objectives: The main goal of the research is to evaluate and analyze an athletic preparation of a cross country skier in younger junior and older junior category and its impact on their endurance Methods: The case study, in which we use the analysis method and comparation method to evaluate actual practice the athletic preparation of two competitors. Results: After the evaluation of an athletic preparation based on a comparison between training coefficients of two chosen competitors and recommended coefficients for given age categories, we found out that the competitors do not meet the recommended values. Those values have provably positive impact on their endurance. Another finding shows that even though the plan from a coach is not progressive, competitors have good results in their competitions.
