Frontzová, Kamila ; Hojka, Vladimír (advisor) ; Vostatková, Pavlína (referee)
Title: Comparison of kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the running stride in barefoot running, minimalist shoes, spiked shoes and running shoes Objectives: The goal of this study is to determine how selected kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the running stride change with different types of footwear (shoes, spiked shoes, minimalist shoes) or when running barefoot. Methods: The measurements were conducted on 21 participants (active athletes competing in athletic disciplines for at least four years, capable of running in track spikes). A biomechanical analysis was performed using dynamometric plates and the Optojump Next optical device. The research was conducted on a long jump runway at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of Charles University, with each participant running a prepared 30-meter track 8-10 times at 80 % of their maximum speed. Statistical analysis was performed using the magnitude-based inference method. Results: Step frequency increased when running barefoot (shoes: 3.89 ± 0.23 steps/s, minimalist shoes: 3.90 ± 0.18 steps/s, track spikes: 3.91 ± 0.21 steps/s, barefoot: 3.94 ± 0.22 steps/s), step length shortened when running barefoot (shoes: 199.3 ± 7.5 cm, minimalist shoes: 200.1 ± 6.3 cm, track spikes: 199.7 ± 6.8 cm, barefoot: 198.8 ± 6.7 cm), and the flight...

Comparative analysis of pelvic girdle muscles and body muscles activation during walking in different types of shoes and barefoot
Hrůzová, Zuzana ; Bačáková, Radka (advisor) ; Pánek, David (referee)
Title: Comparative analysis of pelvic girdle muscles and body muscles activation during walking in different types of shoes and barefoot Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to compare EMG signal chosen muscles of pelvis girdle and trunk while walking barefoot, shod in barefoot shoes or in conventional sport shoes. Methods: In our research there were 9 healthy participants who are used to walking in barefoot shoes attending. Using surface electrodes, the EMG activity of 5 muscles was recorded. The observed movement was walking on grass in conventional shoes, in barefoot shoes and barefoot. The data obtained from the experiment were imported and statistically processed in the MS Excel program with the XLSTAT software installed and in the Jamovi statistical program. ANOVA and unpaired t- test were used for statistical data analysis. Results: Data from the statistical comparison revealed a significant statistical difference in 75 % comparison of maximal muscle activity between walking in conventional sport shoes, barefoot shoes and barefoot in measurement of differences in one subject in all chosen muscles. A statistical significant difference was also found in comparison of maximal muscle activity in 81,43 % measurements between subjects in all chosen muscles while walking barefoot. There was no...

The view of specialised literature on barefoot running and running in traditional shoes (comparative literature review)
Holečková, Klára ; Kaplan, Aleš (advisor) ; Vindušková, Jitka (referee)
Title: The view of specialised literature on barefoot running and running in traditional shoes (comparative literature review) Objectives: The main objective of the presented thesis was to find, read and categorise available Czech and especially foreign literature about the barefoot running topic. Other objective was to create a systematic comparative review of reclaimed information, in which the opinions of authors are compared. Due to formulated objectives, the following task of the thesis was defined. To offer readers a systematic review and describe the presented topic. Methods: The presented bachelor thesis is a comparative literature review, especially foreign- language literature. The keywords were first stated in the English language. After that, they were used for searching for information in science databases. Similarly, the keywords were stated and used for searching information in the Czech language. Due to the systematisation of the terms, it was necessary to gain enough information about the presented topic, which were categorised in the pre-determined chapters. Results: The presented literature review was created from 29 foreign science studies and 11 book publications (5 of them were Czech authors). Some of the authors' opinions on the studied issue were in agreement. For example,...

The difference in kinematic and kinetic parameters of running using running shoes, barefoot and shod
Vyhnálek, Vojtěch ; Gryc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Červinka, Pavel (referee)
Title: The difference in kinematic and kinetic parameters of running using running shoes, barefoot and shod Objectives: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the kinematic and kinetic parameters of running using different types of shoes. We tested a sample of four probands aged 20-25 years male. Using applied clusters, we examined the differences in individual runs. Methods: The experiment was attended by 4 runners (men only) who completed a monitored run on a 3D running ergometer at several speeds. A CODA Motion System 3D kinematic analyzer with the appropriate ODIN software was used to evaluate the kinematic parameters, and a 3D running ergometer with implemented power plates and h / p cosmos designed software was used to evaluate the kinetic parameters. The measurements were one-time. The obtained data were processed in Microsoft Excel 2019, where the tables used in this work were created. Results: All subjects demonstrated an immediate change in technique during the transition from running shoes to minimalist shoes and then barefoot. The most significant changes took place in the tread angle, the ankle angle, the cadence of the steps and the force produced by the impact. However, changes in the monitored parameters did not lead to the correct running technique in barefoot shoes, which...
