Kohl, Ondřej ; Jeleček, Leoš (advisor) ; Ouředníček, Martin (referee)
This text was written as a diploma thesis of master's degree study course "Regional and political geography." It focuses on the development between the last two censuses, of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States. The economic crisis of the late 2000s has been a major turning point of the decade. The goal of the research was to create a developmental typology of the fastest growing metros. The text analyzes "classifiers" data in order to decide what developmental types have been among the metros. A major factor contributing to high population gains in the fastest growing metros was the migration induced by the housing bubble.

Niemiec, Iveta ; Bělina, Miroslav (advisor) ; Pichrt, Jan (referee)
Title: Leave Legislation in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland Author: Iveta Niemiec Abstract: There are three neighbouring states in the spotlight of this thesis: Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. Approach of the annual leave legislation in those countries and mutual comparison could be defined as a main goal. Adumbration of annual leave as a significant part of labour law legislation and its purpose definition, which consists mainly in creating space for recovery and longer rest, is followed by short excursion into the history of legislation development. In this regard the year 1918 is found to be a breakthrough, which opened up the possibility of own legislation in Czechoslovakia and Poland. Getting closer to the leave legislation of particular states is preparation for a comparison of particular institutes and sub-institutes of leave of each labour code. Subsequenlty stated judicature provides an overview of application of legal rules related to the leave. Investigation is concluded by impact of the EU legislation on the particular institutes of the leave. The thesis is finalized by adumbration of inspirational parts of slovak and polish leave legislation. Key words: labour code, leave, recovery, leave entitlement, comparison, inspiration

Šimkanin, Martin ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Vomáčko, Ladislav (referee)
Title: Effect of the load and recovery time on a physiological response in sport rock climbers Objectives: The main purpose of this study was to assess the inluence of various types of climbing loads on a physiological response in sport rock climbers. Methods: Seven experienced (8 to 9+, UIAA - Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme) sport climbers (age 25,4 ± 7 years, body 64,8 ± 6 kg, height 175,8 ± 5,3 cm) were subjected to climbing test until exhaustion, which involved three excercises that included various types of load: continuous, intermittent with 30s load and 30s rest periods (test 30/30) and intermittent with 90s load and 90s rest periods (test 90/90). All subjects refrained from exercising at least 48h between each testing. The monitored variables were performance of climbing steps, heart rate (HR), oxygen consumption (VO2), minute ventilation (VE), energy expenditure (EE) and blood lactate (LA). Results: Peak values of monitored variables show that a climbing intensity was similar among all tests (HRpeak 168 ± 11 to 172 ± 7 bites/min, VO2peak 35,2 ± 4,7 to 40,3 ± 5,3 ml/kg/min, LA 4,1 ± 1,1 to 4,9 ± 1,4 mmol/l). EE was in average 9,0 to 9,8 kcal. Subjects climbed longest (4min 45s ± 37s) in the test 30/30 (six climbers achieved maximum defined time 10 x 30s), whereas total...

Effect of two active recovery methods on repeated bouts of finger flexor isometric performance
Psohlavec, Lukáš ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Malý, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Effect of two active recovery methods on repeated bout of finger flexors isometric performance. Goals: Compare two methods of active recovery - global and local, during repeated isometric performance and learn the difference between active and passive recovery. Method: Ten recreational athletes in average age 30,4 ± 5,9 years performed in a random cross-over desing 3 sessions with 3 repeated isometric intermittent contraction. The effect of active global recovery, active local recovery and passive recovery between repetions was monitored. Results: More effective type of recovery was active recovery. There was no difference between both active recovery methods. Performed decrease in active global recovery was activleast effective method of recovery was passive recovery. Decrease in the time in active global recovery was 21,7s (29,77%) and in active local recovery 20,8s (30,1%). The least effective was passive recovery. There was decrease 24,6s (35,34%). Key words: recovery, active recovery, local recovery, finger flexors, interrmitent, isometric contraction.

Kodejška, Jan ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Stejskal, Pavel (referee) ; Radvanský, Jiří (referee)
Title: Effect of cold water immersion on intermittent isometric forearm flexor contractions to failure in rock climbers Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of cold water immersion on intermittent isometric forearm flexor contraction to failure in rock climbers. Methods: Thirty-two climbers (15 male and 17 female) completed three intermittent trials to failure, on a climbing-specific handgrip dynamometer, on three separate visits to the laboratory. For each visit a different recovery strategy was employed: passive recovery (PAS), cold water immersion at 8 řC (CWI 8) or 15 řC (CWI 15). The force time integral (FTI - time of contraction multiplied by the force of contraction) was determined to assess intermittent performance. The tissue saturation index (TSI) and total haemoglobin (tHb) during isometric contractions from near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) were determined to assess hemodynamic changes. Differences between repeated trials and three recovery protocols, derived parameters NIRS, were assessed using repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni corrections. Results: There was no significant difference between conditions after trial one. In response to the PAS recovery condition there was a 10% and 22% decrease in FTI in the second and third trials, respectively. The PAS...

The effect of active recovery and hydroterapy on the subsequent short-term and medium-term muscular performance
Strejcová, Barbora ; Süss, Vladimír (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee) ; Pyšný, Ladislav (referee)
Title: The effect of active recovery and hydroterapy on the subsequent short-term and medium-term muscular performance Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the effect of two recoveries (ice pack, passive recovery) on the subsequent short-term and three recoveries (active recovery, cold water immersion, passive recovery) on the medium-term knee strength in the extension and flexion. Methods: Fourteen athletes in an average age of 26,6±4,4 years performed, in a random cross-over design, 2 sessions with 5 repeated short-term isokinetic tests and 3 sessions with 3 repeated medium-term isokinetic tests. The effect of ice packs and passive rest and the effect of active recovery, passive rest and cold water immersion were assessed by the 5x2 (time x recovery) and 3x3 (time x recovery) repeated-measure ANOVA, respectively. Results: The ice packs did not have any effect on peak torque, total work and average power during short-term performances. The average heart rate was significantly lower during measurements with the ice packs than during the passive recovery (125±15 vs. 135±20 tepů. min-1 ). We stated significantly lower changes in knee extension for the peak torque after the active recovery (↑ 0,9 N.m) than after the cold water immersion (↓ 14,6 N.m) or the passive recovery (↓ 13,9 N.m). The...
