Husovská, Andrea ; Jandová, Soňa (advisor) ; Bunc, Václav (referee)
The present thesis deals with the influence of body composition on physical fitness. The thesis deals with the issue of increasing prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents. The aim of the thesis is to assess physical fitness in older school-aged children using a validated test battery and to determine the association of physical fitness in these children with their body composition. A total of 52 pupils aged 12-14 years were tested, of whom 34 were girls and 18 were boys. We used a modified Assessing levels of physical activity (ALPHA) test battery to determine the physical fitness of the children and adolescents. We also used a questionnaire survey to determine anthropometric parameters relevant to body composition. For the actual measurement, we used three skinfold measurements, dynamometry, Unifittest (6-60). F-test was used to calculate statistical significance of differences and Cohen's d was calculated to calculate substantive significance. The results showed that girls had higher amount of subcutaneous fat than boys. There was no difference in body weight and body height between girls and boys. Compared to boys, girls had a lower mean time spent in physical activity outside physical education. In conclusion, body composition has a great influence on physical fitness in older...

Kučera, Jakub ; Suchý, Jiří (advisor) ; Dlouhý, Martin (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines the level of coordination abilities of pupils in the 5th, 7th and 9th grades of elementary school, i.e. in developmentally very diverse periods. The theoretical part focuses on the definition of coordination abilities and their division, further compares the period of prepubescence and puberty and presents test batteries that check coordination. The research was carried out using the Iowa-Brace test, which was used to verify the level of general coordination abilities of pupils. The methodological part describes the course of the testing (including a description of the preparation) that took place in two elementary schools in Prague in a total of nine classes. The measured data confirmed a statistically significant increase in coordination skills between 5th and 7th grade students, while between 7th and 9th grade their increase was less than 5%. These findings are in agreement with the theory of Prof. Karel M kota, CSc. (M kota and Novosad, 2005). Furthermore, girls showed better coordination skills than boys in all grades. Pupils engaged in individual sports also achieved higher results compared to pupils engaged in team sports. KEYWORDS Coordination, Iowa - Brace test, balance training, development, older school age

Title: Current trends in the long-term concept of sports training with a focus on youth categories on the example of a selected sport Objectives: Investigate what ice hockey experts consider to be trends in youth ice hockey training and what they find to be significant areas of training. Compare said experts' practical knowledge to theory. Find inner connections among individual areas of training which are considered important by experts. Methods: qualitative research - qualitative interviews with experts (open debate, guided interview) Results: The research was conducted in the form of two types of interviews with 11 experts taking part. Three experts underwent the interview of the type I. As a result of these interviews, 15 important areas of training were found, among which 12 inner connections were found (of which 2 were bidirectional). The interviews of type II brought insights of eight experts on the topic of important areas. For example, the optimal age x =12,7 for the commencement of higher intensity training was found, as well as the ratio x =42/58% for the specific/non- specific load during off ice training. Similarly, inner connections were found in this type of interview, 21 in total. The comparison of the literature and the theory built upon the type II interviews resulted in a...
