Sport climbing of visually impaired and limitations related to their handicap
Sýkorová, Alžběta ; Vomáčko, Ladislav (advisor) ; Nováková, Lenka (referee)
This bachelor thesis concentrates on climbing activities of visual challenged, studies their abilities, perception of this activity and eventual limitation caused by this handicap. The goal of the thesis is to compare and evaluate abilities of visually impaired and non-handicapped climbers, recognize the impact of visual handicap on perception climbing activities and research, how much their abilities are influenced by this handicap. In my work on this topic I was helped by real handicapped climber as well as non-handicapped assistants, whose visual perception was temporarily restricted. In the theoretical part my thesis deals with general explanation of climbing activities and their development. It also concentrates on importance of visual perception, characteristic of sight damage and its influence on personality, movement and sport activities of people. The practical part is based mostly on experience of the visually handicapped climber during these climbing activities. Next I am focusing on abilities of non-sight handicapped climbers with temporarily limited visual perception. I am measuring the influence of temporary loss of sight on climbing performance and technique. In my work I describe practicing in different climbing skills due to sight loss and adaptation of the level of training...

Longitudinal monitoring of anthropometric and physiologic characteristic of the elite sport climber.
Šenk, Svatopluk ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Vomáčko, Ladislav (referee)
Title: Longitudinal monitoring of anthropometric and physiologic characteristic of the elite sport climber. Work objective: The work objective is monitoring and analyzing of general and the specific physical fitness factors by the world knowing climbers from the longtime aspect. Method: In the process of the longtime monitoring was used the laboratory and the field measuring and testing to reach of the determined objectives. The particular factors of the physical fitness where determined according to aerobic fitness tests (step test to "vita maxima"), power condition tests (handgrip dynamometry, bent arm hang, etc), flexibility test and kinesiology study. To complement, understanding and interpretation of some results were used questionnaire with the opened questions. Results: The elite climber (body mass has been increased from 59,3 kg - age 16,8 years to 62,0 kg - age 19.0 years, body height has been increased from 181,9 cm to 183,4 cm., body fat from 5,3 % to 6,7 %). The climbing performance RP has been increased from climbing difficulty 11+ to 12 UIAA; the results reached at the testing of force abilities (bend arm hang has been increased from 100,0 to 122,0 s; finger hang on 2,5 cm ledge slightly has been decreased from 116,6 s to 111,6 s; relative force of the upper limb, reached at mass,...

Evaluation of dynamic postural stability in climbers
Karšayová, Kateřina ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Stupková, Michaela (referee)
Author: Bc. Kateřina Karšayová Title: Evaluation of dynamic postural stability in climbers Objectives: The main objective of this diploma thesis is to investigate the difference of dynamic postural stability in between climbers and recreational athletes and measure all the data by computerised dynamic posturography Smart EquiTest System from Neurocom Incorporated. Methods: This is a quantitative cross-sectional study involving 40 participants aged between 22 and 29 years divided into two groups (climbers, non-climbers). Measurements of dynamic postural stability were performed on Neurocom Smart EquiTest in the Kinesiological Laboratory of Charles University, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport. Motor Control Test, Sensory Organization Test and Limits of Stability test batteries were chosen for this study. The measured data was subsequently processed by Neurocom Balance Manager Software. The following statistical methods were used to analyze the data obtained by Neurocom: Shapiro - Wilk test, Student's t-test, Mann - Whitney test and Cohen's d effect size. Results: A statistically significant difference (in favor of climbers) was found in COND6 of Sensory Organization Test, where p-value was 0,04. In Motor Control Test there was a statistically significant difference (in favor of climbers) in...

Climbing of visually impaired people and limits produced by their disability.
Sýkorová, Alžběta ; Vomáčko, Ladislav (advisor) ; Nováková, Lenka (referee)
Title: Climbing of visually impaired people and limits produced by their disability. Goals: To point out critical moments during climbing of visually impaired climbers and evaluate degree of influence of missing sight to the entire climbing activity. Methods: Technical literature researching, questionnaire investigation, data analysis and graphical presentation of results. Results: People with visual impairment are able to perform climbing activities with the same equipment and in the similar range as sighted climbers. Absence of visual perception primarily places higher physical demands on climber and virtually prevents him from bouldering. Keywords: climber, climbing activities, visually impaired, visual perception, handicap

Activities of rock climbing teams within the Joint Rescue Service in South Bohemia.
TOMÁŠEK, Zdeněk
This Bachelor work deals with activities, organization and training of rock{--}climbing teams and the Fire Brigade in South Bohemia, the rock{--}climbing team of the South Bohemian Rescue Service and climbers of the Czech Police response team as well as of the basic departments of the Joint Rescue Service. It describes their current status of training and equipment and conditions for their work and cooperation between parts of the Joint Rescue Service in case of emergency situations, such as rescuing in heights or depths using rope technique. In addition the Bachelor work describes organization of regular attendance services and trainings of climbers with rope rescue technique and their distribution across the territory of South Bohemia. At the end of the work there is description of some locations within South Bohemia, which are typical for their risks and danger of fall from height or fall to depth. In relation to these locations there are some suggestions for elimination of the risks or mitigation of dangers at given locations. In addition included are basic model rescue situations, which are trained on regular basis within methodological training of the Joint Rescue Service climbers. The individual examples highlight risks, advantages and disadvantages which may be experienced by the rescuers at these specific locations.
