Changes in swimming speed in para swimmers with spastic diparetic form of cerebral palsy using swimming aids
Šašek, Vít ; Prokešová, Eva (advisor) ; Hubená, Kristýna (referee)
Title: Changes in swimming speed in para swimmers with spastic diparetic form of cerebral palsy using swimming aids Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to establish a battery of swimming aids and to determine whether and how these aids affect the swimming speed of individuals with spastic diparetic form of CP in training Methods: In order to determine the use of swimming aids in the Czech Republic, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 6 para-swimming clubs to establish a test battery. The battery of swimming aids was tested in the pool using a modified Critical swimming speed protocol. 4 para swimmers with spastic diparetic CP aged 30 ± 3,08 years at a performance level of at least national championship with sport classification classes S4 to S8 participated in the testing. Results: We established a fifteen-element battery of swimming aids and tested it in the pool. The probands achieved the best results with the pullboy in between the thighs position. They achieved 0.61 to 11.37% faster time on the shorter measured section of CSS protocol than without the aid, and 2.67 to 8.08% faster time on the longer section. The probands' CSS changed by -1.02 to 14.85 % with the pullboy. Keywords: critical swimming speed, swimming, swimming drag, Paralympic classification

The aplication of CSS in swimming flume
Cagaň, Štěpán ; Jurák, Daniel (advisor) ; Chrzanowská, Babeta (referee)
Title: Application of CSS (Critical Swimming Speed) in the swimming flume. Objectives: Purpose of our pilot study was to find out, if load during swimming on speed of anaerobic threshold in the flume on level validated by accredited workplace corresponds with load during swimming in the swimming pool. Methods: For verification of our purpose, for each proband we first determined speed of anaerobic threshold, using Critical Swimming Speed protocol. Subsequently we monitored values of blood lactate and heart rate during swimming on anaerobic threshold speed level in the pool and thereafter in the flume. We have compared measured values. Results: We found out, that load in the flume is much lower, than load in the pool. We also found out, that stream of water in flume is not constant. Keywords: flume, swimming, swimming simulator, lactate, front crawl stroke, critical swimming speed

Comparison of lactate level at the same load in a swimming treadmill and on a bicycle ergometer
Suchomelová, Helena ; Jurák, Daniel (advisor) ; Čechovská, Irena (referee)
3 ABSTRACT Title: Comparison of lactate level at the same load in a swimming treadmill and on a bicycle ergometer Subject: 6 students (3 girls and 3 boys) from the first year of Bachelor's study at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of the Charles University at the age of 20,5 years ± 3 years took part in this research. Goal of the research: To compare demands of the load in the swimming flume with the same load on the bicycle ergometer, mainly at the level of the anaerobic threshold. Methods: We tested students by the method Critical Swimming Speed (CSS) for finding out their anaerobic threshold. Then students swam physical tests in the swimming treadmill - flume. The test consists of three 6 min parts. The first part of the swimming test was under the level of the CSS, the second part was at the level of the CSS and the third part was above the level of the CSS. We used the device for measuring the beat frequency (sport-testers) for obtaining information about changes of the heart rate (HR) during tests. Afterwards we accomplished tests on the bicycle ergometer, where we maintained HR at the same levels as in the load in the flume. We measured level of blood lactate (LA) after every 6 min part in the flume and on the ergometer. We statistically processed resulted values of LA by the Wilcoxon...

Measuring hearth rate of CP diagnosed individuals during swimming load
Šašek, Vít ; Prokešová, Eva (advisor) ; Hráský, Pavel (referee)
Title: Measuring max. hearth rate of CP individuals during swimming load Objectives: The major goal of this thesis is to measure heart rate of swimmers diagnosed with cerebral palsy during swimming load and to determine their CSS. Secondary goal of the thesis is to compare those values with intact population. Methods: In our thesis we tested HRMAX of 4 swimmers (3 men, 1 woman) with cerebral palsy (age 20 to 23 years) using the modified Critical Swimming Speed (CSS) protocol. A sample of probands was chosen out of swimmers participating in KONTAKT bB, swimming academy beyond borders programme. Testing went underway twice. CSS test consists of swimming two different distances with maximum effort. 25 and 100-meter distances (or modified shorter distances) were chosen for the purpose of measuring HRMAX. Sporttester was used for recording. We then compared obtained data with intact population by using substantive significance. Results: Tested values of the probands' HRMAX during CSS test were between 165 to 182 beats per minute. CSS reached 0,3 to 1,0 meters per second. In comparison with the sample of intact population, probands were able to reach the 8,9 % and 17 beats per minute lower level of HRMAX in average. Values of the CSS were averagely 78% lower than the CSS of the intact population sample....
