Samková, Eva ; Gryc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šteffl, Michal (referee)
Title: Influence of Altitude on Physiological Parameters in Snowboardcross Athletes Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of altitude and working load on selected physiological parameters (blood lactate concentration, mitochondrial respiration, muscle blood flow and heart rate) in elite snowboardcross riders. Methods: For data collection we used Moxy monitor, Garmin chest belt and EKF Lactate Scout+. The physiological parameters were assessed at two different altitudes and always before and after the sports exercise. The obtained data were then compared and their differences assessed using the statistical method paired t-test, basic statistical and mathematical methods such as mean and standard deviation and percentages were used to express the difference. Results: We found that altitude does not affect mitochondrial respiration or blood flow in lower limb muscles in snowboardcrossers. Furthermore, we found that altitude has an effect on blood lactate concentration and confirmed the so-called lactate paradox. Heart rate was slightly higher after exercise at higher altitude than at lower altitude. Keywords: Oxygen saturation, heart rate, lactate concentration, testing, altitude

Samková, Eva ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee)
Eva Samková: Španělsko Karla V. pohledem španělské a zahraniční historiografie bakalářské práce Abstract Bachelor thesis "Spain of Charles V in the vision of the Spanish and foreign historiography" focuses on the person and government of Emperor Charles V in Spain in the years 1516- 1556. The aim of the thesis is to compare texts, ideas and theories in the works of historians engaged in European history of the 16th century and the person of the Emperor Charles V. Specifically, the works of the Spanish historian M. F. Álvarez (Biografia de una nacion. Madrid 2010), German historians K. Brandi (Emperor Charles V. The growth and destiny of a man and of a world-empire. London 1968) and F. Seibt (Charles V. Emperor and the Reformation. Prague 1999), Austrian historian F. Heer (European spiritual history. Prague 2000) and international collection of essays, whose editor is H. Soly (Charles V. 1500-1558 and his time. Antverps) 1999). First is introduction to the life and personality of Charles V in the brief biography and a further follow excerpts from each studied books, supplemented by quotations from the original text. Finally, the actual comparison of the aforementioned literature.
