Hanko, Michal ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Suchý, Jiří (referee)
Title: Influence of acute stretching on strength predispositions in snowboardcross Objectives: The aim of the work is to evaluate two effects of stretching - static and dynamic on the strength assumptions of the lower extremities by modifying the Bosco test in a group of 3 athletes in the snowboardcross discipline. Methods: Power Measurement in Bosco's Test Modification (3 series jumps of 20 seconds with a 20-second pause) after 5 minutes of warm-up on the bike ergometer (1.5W/kg) and application of a predetermined static or dynamic stretch (approximately 14 minutes). The probands are 3 male athletes in the snowboardcross discipline, aged from 16 to 23 years. Their fitness training consists of a gym 3 times a week (60-90min), gymnastics twice a week (90 min) and an individual evening stretching to develop flexibility at least 3 times a week (30 min). In the off-season, athletic training once a week (60 min). Measured values are - jump count, flight phase time in seconds, contact phase time in seconds, average power expressed in watts, and power drop in percent. Results: We found that two types of stretching - dynamic and static - have different effects on performance in the Bosco test modification. Significantly better results were achieved after application of dynamic stretching. In average...

Bohůnková, Marie ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Gnad, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Terrain and laboratory testing in Snowboardcross Objectives: The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to compare the validity between terrain and laboratory tests and to evaluate the relationship of tests and the rating of the Czech National Cup in snowboardcross. Methods: Laboratory measurement of lower body measured by Bosco test (repeated jumps per 60 seconds), followed by terrain testing of lower body, which is consisted of broad jump, triple jump and shuttle run 4x10 meters. The probands are 3 female athletes in snowboardcross discipline, aged from 13 to 15 year old. The results of terrain and laboratory testing was compared with the results of rating of Czech National Cup. Results: We discovered that laboratory and terrain tests are similar. The probands has had the same position in 5 tests of 6 total. That means, that proband with the best results of terrain testing has also the best results in laboratory testing. But no proven connection between results of the test and their standing in rating of the Czech National Cup was found. The results of the best proband proved the best performance in races, but the results of remaining probands didn't confirm this relationship. The proband with the worst results of testing (laboratory and terrain) took 4th place in the rating of the Czech...

Aesthetic Factor in John Dewey's Conception of an Experience Aesthetic Relevance demonstrated by Example of Snowbording
Vyhnánková, Klára ; Kaplický, Martin (advisor) ; Dadejík, Ondřej (referee)
This diploma thesis examines John Dewey's concept of experience, focusing especially on his notion that an aesthetic factor is present in every complete and consummatory experience. It deals with the differences between a common experience and "an experience" and examines how an aesthetic factor works in them. The indispensable role of the aesthetic factor is intentionally demonstrated on the non-artistic example of experiences of snowboarding. The most important findings are developed through the approach of Richard Shusterman's somaesthetics. The theories of these two philosophers support the main idea of this thesis, namely that dynamic movements of the body can bring aesthetic experiences to their actor. Thus, some of the reasons that explain the attractiveness of this modern sport come to light that are not apparent at first glance.

Title Development and trend popularity of skiing and snowboarding. Main objective The main objective of this study was to explore the current situation in skiing and snowboarding trends. To try to predict where this winter sports industry is going to. Methods For my research I chose the method of questionnaire. Results were collected and statistically processed in the program called Google forms. Questionnaire contained 16 questions intended for respondents who are active skiers or snowboarders, or both. The questions were designed to allow only one answer or multiple choice. The survey was stored in electronic form on the website www.google.com, where they have accumulated a total of 1,095 questionnaires. 83 of them were obtained through personal contact and subsequently entered into the program. Mainly used the methods of this bachelor thesis are methods of analysis, induction, deduction, synthesis and questioning. The results The research results show that not only skiing, but also very modern snowboarding already has its culminating phase behind and slowly loses its supporters. Key words Skiing, snowboarding, trend, development

Methodology book for teaching snowboarding for primary school children
STEJSKALOVÁ, Monika
The aim of diploma thesis was to create a sequence of snowboard exercises for primary school pupils. These exercises were then tested with children from Základní škola T. G. Masaryka Vimperk, aged 6 to 10 years. In order to create and test the methodical sequence, two winter training sessions were organized. The first five-day session for pupils from the 2nd to the 5th grade took place in December 2017, while the second session for children of the 1st grade was realized in January 2018. Both groups were directed in the same way. On the first day, exercises for getting to know the snowboard were implemented. The remaining days were then spent on the slope. By the last day of training, both groups were able to ride a slope using skidded turns. 58% of the pupils managed to learn frontside carved turns, while 42% learned backside carved turns. The main contribution of the diploma thesis is the sequence of exercises which can be used by teachers and trainers to teach snowboarding.
