Effect of warm-up method on the agility performance of rugby players
Maštera, Jan ; Hojka, Vladimír (advisor) ; Jebavý, Radim (referee)
Title: Effect of the warm-up method on the agility performance of rugby players Objectives: The thesis evaluated the effect of the warm-up type (static, dynamic, balance) on the agility performance of female rugby players and assessed which of these methods is best to apply prior to the activity. Methods: The tested sample was composed of ten players of the Czech Republic women's national rugby union team aged between 22 and 34. Each player underwent three measurements. Prior to the measurement, a different type of warm-up (static, dynamic, using balance aids) was chosen, followed by agility measurement using Illinois agility test and 505 agility tests. Results: In the measurement, hypotheses (hypothesis 1: after applying dynamic warm-up, players will achieve better agility performance than after static warm-up; hypothesis 2: after applying warm-up using balance aids, players will achieve better agility performance than static and dynamic warm-up). Hypothesis 1 was evaluated as true and hypothesis 2 was evaluated as partially true. Keywords: Rugby, agility, static warm-up, dynamic warm-up, warm-up using balance aids

The effect of Warm Up Protocols on Explosive Power Performance in Track and Field
Mašková, Alžběta ; Jebavý, Radim (advisor) ; Feher, Jan (referee)
Title: The effect of Warm Up Protocols on Explosive Power Performance in Track and Field Objectives: The main aim of this thesis was to compare three types of warm up protocols and their effects on explosive power performance. Methods: This thesis tested 43 students of UK FTVS, who visited Athletic Conditioning lessons. The group consisted of 28 men (height 183,2+-/5,6 cm) and 15 women (166,3 +-/5,7 cm) aged 20-23 years. There was six measuring sessions separated by a week off. They performed a 800 m aerobic warm up mean run, followed by one of three types of warm-up protocols (static, dynamic, balance). Each of the warm-up protocol was performed two times in the opposite order. The experiment examined the explosive power of lower limbs and upper body/limbs. Performance score were recorded from vertical jump, a ball throw, and medicine ball front throw. Results: The thesis did not confirm any of the hypotheses. It was found that the active static stretching had a positive medium effect on medicine ball front throw by Cohen scale effect size compared to the active dynamic and the active balance warm-up protocol. Other tests did not prove any significant changes, positive or negative, of any warm up protocols. Keywords: Dynamic warm-up, Static warm-up, Balance warm- up, Testing, Explosive Power
