Effect of caffeine on maximal strength of the complex exercises
Šťastný, Daniel ; Třebický, Vít (advisor) ; Petr, Miroslav (referee)
Title: Effect of caffeine on maximal strength of the complex exercises Objectives: The main aim of this theses is to investigate caffeine's effect on the maximum strength of the deadlift exercise. The sub-objectives of the thesis are to test whether the magnitude of the effect of caffeine differs between the upper half of the body compared to the lower half, and also whether caffeine has an effect on the production of maximal strength after insufficient rest. Methods: The randomized double-blind study consisted of 1 baseline and 2 experimental sessions . At the start of the experimental sessions, participants were given either caffeine (3 mg/kg) or placebo 60 min before testing. In a randomized order, maximal isometric strength with sufficient rest between reps was measured for the deadlift (IMT) and benchpress (IBP) exercises. Subsequently, maximal isometric strength was measured for the isometric mid-thigh (IMTP) exercise after insufficient rest. A total of 36 healthy resistance-trained men habituated to caffeine consumption participated in this study Results: RM ANOVA showed that caffeine increased performance at IMT, compared to placebo (d = 0.229 [0.61, 0.397]), but not compared to baseline. For the IBP exercise, caffeine has no effect compared to placebo, but baseline session was...

Verification of functionality of the training plan in powerlifting to improve benchpress
Štěpánek, Michael ; Dlouhý, Martin (advisor) ; Kainová, Lucie (referee)
In my thesis I'll focus on one of three disciplines in powerlifting. Specifically bench press. Aim of this thesis is confirmation of Smolov jr. training plan. Which is different from other training plans thanks to it's short term. Lasting only three weeks. Despite that I was able to find multiple articles, in which the author describes his own experience, introduces reader with the training plan and reports progress up to 10 Kg in the discipline. The research will be conducted by direct testing of the plan on a group of probands, including me. The resoult of which will be comparing of input and output values - like bodyweight, chest and arms circumference and of course maximal bench press performance per one repetition. The thesis will also include important information about bench-press as a sport, informations about diet, food supplements, regeneration and anatomy. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
