The effect of voluntary hypoventilation on physical performance and selected parameters of physiological function in athletes - a systematic review
Křivánková, Eliška ; Šteffl, Michal (advisor) ; Brtník, Tomáš (referee)
Title: The effect of voluntary hypoventilation on physical performance and selected parameters of physiological function in athletes - a systematic review Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to summarize the results of selected studies dealing with voluntary hypoventilation technique and from the obtained data determine the possibility and extent of using this technique to improve sports performance. Methods: The bachelor thesis was conducted in the form of a systematic review, according to the recommendations of the PRISMA statement. Relevant scientific articles and studies were retrieved using four internet databases, namely Web of Science, Pub Med, Scopus and EBSCOhost, followed by literature research of the retrieved publications. Results: A total of 129 potential studies were retrieved from which 16 relevant publications were selected and included in the systematic review. In all cases, these were cohort studies, seven of them focused on investigating the acute response of hypoventilation training and nine on its long-term effect. Together, these studies collected data from 270 actively exercising probands. Conclusions: The results of selected scientific studies over the last twenty years suggest that hypoventilation training could be a beneficial and affordable training method to improve...

The effect of altitude on the regeneration in alpine skiing - a review study
Štanglerová, Magdaléna ; Šteffl, Michal (advisor) ; Brtník, Tomáš (referee)
Background Training at high altitude, historically in natural conditions and now in created artificially hypoxic environments, has been used to enhance physical performance in a wide range of endurance sports for many years. For alpine skiing, which takes place naturally at higher altitudes, prolonged exposure to altitude hypoxia and low ambient temperature is specific. However, even here, some effects of this specific load on the athletes are still unclear. Objectives The aim of this thesis is to summarize the results of studies dealing with the topic of hypoxic training in alpine skiers and its effect on selected physiological parameters. Methods The thesis is conducted as a systematic review in accordance with the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Four electronic databases were used to obtain relevant sources - Web of Science (WoS), PubMed, Scopus and SPORTDiscus using the EBSCO database. Results A total of 234 potential publications were retrieved, of which 15 studies including data from a total of 294 probands, mostly elite alpine skiers, were used in the final systematic review. Seven studies used the normobaric hypoxia method and eight studies were conducted under natural conditions. Five studies looked at the acute effect,...
