The level and comparison of speed in female soccer players
Kubešová, Nicola ; Malý, Tomáš (advisor) ; Zahálka, František (referee)
Title: The level and comparison of speed in female soccer players Objectives: The main objective of this study is to determine the level of speed and speed-agility abilities of elite female players of the junior category. And to compare the results within the WU18 category, i.e. between the birth years 2006, 2007 and 2008. The secondary aim is to compare the results between the tested clubs AC Sparta Praha and FK Viktoria Plzeň. Methods: Field testing was used to provide results, which consisted of speed and speed-agility tests standardized in soccer. The test battery included a 10 m sprint with a 5 m intermediate time, a 20 m fly test, a K test and a 505 agility test. The test population was female players under 18 years of age playing for elite academies in the Czech Republic - AC Sparta Praha and FK Viktoria Plzeň. Results: The results of the tests, when comparing the players by year, did not show significantly better results for the oldest players, i.e. players of the year 2006. In most of the tests the players of the year 2007 achieved the fastest values. When comparing the individual tests by year of birth, the 2006 players performed significantly worse than the 2007 players and in a few tests also than the 2008 players. When comparing the teams in terms of league table position, we did not...

Speed training in strength and conditioning preparation of youth basketball players
Janikov, Martin ; Kaplan, Aleš (advisor) ; Hojka, Vladimír (referee)
Title: Speed training in strength and conditioning preparation of youth basketball players Aims: The main purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the effectivity of the training program designed to focus on development of speed abilities in category under fourteen years basketball players. Secondary aims are determination of relationship between practice attendances, number of games played, changes of body height, body weight and body composition of the players on their acceleration, maximal speed and agility tests performance. Methods: For this thesis was used experimental method, which concentrated on observation of speed development in two groups of players, each with different conditions defined by training content. We used measuring, testing and interviewing for data gathering purposes. To assess the relationship between all parameters and their explanation we apply analytic and comparative methods. For evaluation of relationships was used Pearson's correlation and p-value for determination of statistical significance. Results: The main hypothesis, presuming relationship between anticipation in our training program and improvement of speed abilities, wasn't confirmed by our calculations. The results were calculated for following tests: 20 m sprint (r = -0.12, p = 0.69, n = 14), flying 15 m run...
