Title: Motivation to increase the synchronized swimming coach qualification Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to find out what motivational factors could lead the Czech synchronized swimming coaches to improve their qualifications. Methods: The data obtained from the questionnaire survey was processed in Microsoft Excel 2016. Subsequently, it was sorted and further analyzed using basic statistical operations. Results: Interest in synchronized swimming and the need of the coaches' home clubs was the main motivational factor of the III. class coaches. Main motivational factor of II. class coaches was interest in this sport. The motive of the I. class coaches was mainly their own ambitions. Motivational factors for coaches who themselves want to further improve their qualifications are more diverse. These in particular are personal growth, interest in sports, achieving a higher level of expertise, and the possibility of better training the athletes. There are only a few motivational factors to change the opinion of coaches when they are reluctant to improve their qualifications. These include higher financial remuneration, and improvement of the level and availability of professional education.

Houdová, Veronika ; Peslová, Eva (advisor) ; Čechovská, Irena (referee)
Title: Influence of buoyancy dumb-bells on load intensity during shallow water aerobic Objectives: The aim of this theses was to compare the heart rate to several variants during 14 minutes head-out aquatic exercise (with simultaneous legs and arms actions and with simultaneous legs and arms actions using buoyancy dumb-bells). 8 females, clinically healthy and with a regular level of physical activity in age between 25-60 years (age 42 ± 11,4 years) were studied. The other aim of this theses was to compare the heart rate during rest on land and rest in water during shallow water aerobic in an upright position with water level to shoulder depth. Methods: We monitored heart rate changes during 14 minutes head-out aquatic exercise by Sport Tester S610i. The results of the tests were analyzed and evaluated with Polar Precision Performance software. Chi-squared test was used to examine the average difference to heart rate during tests. Results: We found non-significant increases on load intensity during test with using buoyancy dumb-bells. Average heart rate during rest in water showed decreases by 13 beats per minute. Keywords: buoyancy dumb-bells, load intensity, heart rate, shallow water aerobic

Training optimization of swimming of school-age children
Hudcová, Stanislava ; Čechovská, Irena (advisor) ; Břečková, Gabriela (referee)
Subject matter: Training optimization of swimming of school-age children Objectives: The main goal of this research work is to suggest a model of advanced swimming training lessons with school-age children. Swimming training is practised in deep swimming pool. Next goal is to create an inventory of games and game disciplines which are suitable for training in deep water. Through the analysis of specialized literature and realization of experimental education we will be able to formulate new pieces of knowledge and introduce practical experience as a recommendation for practice. Method: The research work will observe swimming skills of school-age children within the advanced swimming training. The method of direct participant observation, measurement and scaling will be used. Results: Check on a model training we find out that advanced swimming trainning practised in deep water requires modifications of didactic methods of swimming skill training and swimming locomotion. Constant training of basic swimming skills, well- considered practises on a shore, motivational games and game disciplines are considered as the most important on the advanced swimming training. Key words: advanced swimming training, games, game disciplines, deep swimming pool/water, unsuitable swimming conditions

In this research, we want to verify that the selected didactic approach and content can interconnect areas mentioned in a meaningful whole. Whether the training conforms to the participants as an educational program where there is a predetermined learning knowledge and skills. Whether met their expectations and that they are taught content usable in practice. There is also the possibility of longer-term profit not only from the knowledge gained, but a kind of enrichment inside man through principles that are in a training program instructor communicated and that appears.
