Farkaš, Boris ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Malý, Tomáš (referee)
STRENGHT TRAINING AND IMPACT OF MAXIMAL STRENGTH GAIN ON POWER AND ENDURANCE IN BENCH PRESS Objectives: The aim of my work is to acquire more information on the questions of strenght training in order to perform the strenght traning routine properly. The main goal is the verification of the theory for the maximal strenght improvement applied on myself and finding the correlation between power and endurance in bench press. The first part deals with the theory of strenght training from the point of view of different authors. In the second part, I evaluate and compare results of my own experiment. Hypotheses: 1. After 7 weeks of the described workout programme there will be a significant gain of maximal strenght in bench press. 2. The progress in the maximal strenght gain will cause positive impact on improving power and endurance. Methods: Searching of knowledge concerning the topic of the work. Information taken from Czech and foreign sources and from internet sites followed by the experiment, it means the method of empiric observation. Key words: Strenght training, maximal strength gain, maximal strength, power, endurance, bench press, training routine

Differences in muscle activity at different resistance 1RM and 4RM
Machura, Martin ; Šťastný, Petr (advisor) ; Petr, Miroslav (referee)
Title: Difference in muscle activity during 1RM and 4RM bench press. Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to compare the muscle activity of triceps brachii (TB), latissimus dorsi (LD), anterior deltoideus (AD), posterior deltoideus (PD), pectoralis major pars sternalis (PMS) and pectoralis major pars clavicularis (PMC) during the bench press with the maximal load (1 repetition) and the submaximal load of 4RM (4th out of 4 repetitons) and to determine the differences in the muscle activity between three different phases of the concetric part of the movement. Methods: This thesis utilizes the method of randomized experiment and the method of analysis. The data of muscular activity during the bench press with the maximal and submaximal load and different phases of the concentric part of the movement were obtained in the biomechanical laboratory using the randomized experimental approach. The subjects of this study were 19 men (20-28 years old). The method of analysis was used for evaluation of the data with utilization of the basic descriptive statistics and analysis of hypothesis with the T-test. Results: The results of this study are significant (p<0,05) differences in the activity between muscles involved in the bench press exercise with the maximal load (1st repetiton) and the submaximal load of...

Compensatory exercise for powerlifting athletes
Karásková, Petra ; Kejhová, Eva (advisor) ; Kajzar, Jiří (referee)
BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT First name and surname: Petra Karásková Supervisor: Ing. Eva Kejhová Title of the bachelor thesis: Compensatory exercise for powerlifting athletes Abstract: This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of using compensatory exercise for powerlifting competitors. In the theoretical part compensatory exercise, powerlifting, the biomechanics of its individual disciplines, injuries in powerlifting and deep stabilization system was described. The practical part includes case reports of two patients. The target group consist of male competitors in powerlifting. Two patients, with pain in the low back area, were participating in total seven weeks of therapy. The therapy occurred one to two times a week. The results were evaluated on the basis of subjective score of pain and objectively using tests on deep stabilization system by Kolář. PhysioSensing was used as another objective method to evaluate the results, where static analysis, limits of stability and weight distribution on the lower limbs at different degrees of flexion in the knee joints was measured. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to map available literature related to compensatory exercise in relationship with powerlifting. Furthermore, raising awareness among powerlifters about the possibilities of prevention and compensation and...

The effect of various breathing variations on intra-thoracic pressure, bar kinematics and muscle activity in bench press exercise.
Blažek, Dušan ; Šťastný, Petr (advisor) ; Vágner, Michal (referee)
Title: The effect of breathing technique on intra-thoracic pressure, kinematics of barbell, and muscle activity during bench press exercise. Objectives: The main aim of this study is to determine relationship between breathing technique and bench press exercise. Furthermore, determine which breathing modification leads to overcoming highest resistance and how each individual breathing techniques (Valsalva maneuver (VM), Hold breath (HB), Lung packing (PAC), "reversed breathing" (REVB)) affects kinematics of barbell, and muscle activity, during different intensity (1 RM, 4RM, 8RM, 12RM). Methods: Experiment of cross-sectional character, with usage of our-calibrated sensor, for intrathoracic pressure measurements, 3D kinematics with passive markers and surface electromyography. For measuring anthropometric measurements was further used goniometer, digital scale, and measuring tape. Comparisons of the breathing techniques was done by analysis of covariance ANOVA, while particular parameters were compared by Pearson correlation. Results: Except of REVB technique, which indicated significantly lower load, there was no significant difference between techniques in lifted resistance. Similar effect was observed at results of intrathoracic pressure, where REVB technique showed significantly lower pressure,...

Influence of caffeine on strength performance
Jílková, Anna ; Vilikus, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Petráková Doležalová, Radka (referee)
This bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is divided into several chapters which deal with general properties of caffeine, its structure, metabolism, occurrence and effects on human organism. A special chapter deals with sports issues and the use of caffeine in sports. The practical part includes individual research into the influence of caffeine on the strenght performance and on the human organism. The aim of this work was to find out whether caffeine shows ergogenic effects at a strenght performance of 1 RM. For this, an experiment was used in which the participants underwent two tests, in one using caffeine 3 mg / kg body weight, in the other using placebo. The challenge was to lift as much weight as possible for one maximum repetition (1RM) in bench press and deadlift exercises. A total of 24 people, 17 women and 7 men with an average age of 27 years and an average BMI of 23.8 underwent the experiment. The test results showed an average improvement of 2.3 kg for deadlift and 0.3 kg for bench press. However, these values are not statistically significant (p = 0.253 and p = 0.775). Key words: caffeine, strenght performance, dietary suplements, deadlift, bench press

The anthopometric relation to bench press performance and sticking region
Široký, Michal ; Šťastný, Petr (advisor) ; Petr, Miroslav (referee)
Title: The anthopometric relation to bench press performance and sticking region Objectives: The aim of the thesis is to determine the influence of anthropometric parameters on the performance in bench press and its critical phase of motion. Another objective of this work is to determine the differences of influence anthropometry between 1 RM, 4 RM, 8 RM and 12 RM as well as anthropometric impact on the area occurring before the critical phase of motion and on the area after the critical phase of motion. Methods: This is a quantitative research based on the comparison of measured anthropometric parameters with performance and kinematics by bench press analysis. For experimental methods it was used laboratory conditions and it was used methods of analysis to evaluate the acquired data. Results: The results of the work show that anthropometric parameters affect the performance especially at 1 RM and 12 RM. Overall, the forearm has the greatest impact, reaching a strong negative correlation r = -0.69. Lower arm abduction at 12 RM has a large correlation coefficient r = 0.68, and the chest ratio with upper limb length has a mean positive correlation r = 0.55 for 1 RM and 12 RM. The influence of anthropometry on the critical phase of motion has not been confirmed. Only the correlation between...
