The comparison of strength of lower limbs in different ski and snowboard disciplines
Tišer, Kryštof ; Jindra, Matouš (advisor) ; Gnad, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Comparison of explosive strength of lower limbs in different ski and snowboard disciplines. Aims: The aim of this thesis is to compare explosive strength of lower limbs in different ski and snowboard disciplines. Methods: This is an empiric-theoretical thesis. A simple experiment (testing) was used to verify the hypothesis. 6 used sets participated in the quantitative research. Testing was carried out using two standardized tests, broad jump and vertical jump (Sargent jump). In both tests the best of the three trials was evaluated. Results: In two tests for the explosive strength of the lower limbs significant differences in this ability were shown between some ski disciplines and snowboardcross. The best results in both tests were achieved by representatives of alpine skiing which disproved our hypotheses. Only the expectation that ski jumpers would perform better than the nordic combination was fulfilled. Key words: explosive strength, broad jump, vertical jump, skiing, cross country skiing, grass skiing, nordic combination, ski jumping, alpine skiing, snowboardcross

Comparison of Physical Fitness in 8th Grade Primary School Pupils Attending Sports and Regular Classes
Vélová, Adéla ; Kaplan, Aleš (advisor) ; Feher, Jan (referee)
Title of the Bachelor's Thesis: Comparison of Physical Fitness in 8th Grade Primary School Pupils Attending Sports and Regular Classes Author: Adéla Vélová Thesis supervisor: PhDr. Aleš Kaplan, Ph.D. Aim of the Thesis: The aim of my thesis is to determine the physical fitness of pupils attending a sports class aimed at athletics and pupils attending a regular class with standard physical education. I concentrate on pupils in 8th grade of primary school (ages 13 to 14). The thesis compares data with the results obtained in a sports class at a different primary school 25 years ago. Methodology: The main method involves practical testing of pupils by UNIFITTEST (6-60) test battery composed of various motor tests. For the purpose of my Bachelor's thesis, I chose four motor tests - standing broad jump, repeated sit-ups in 60 seconds, 12-minute run and a 4x10m shuttle run. All the measured data are compared with UNIFITTEST standards for individual age categories. The thesis also contains a short questionnaire survey identifying the pupils' opinion on physical activity. Results: The pupils attending the sports class achieved better results in all four motor tests than the pupils going to the regular class. The pupils in the sports class mostly achieved above-average results; their worst ranking was...
