Relationship of selected climbing performance parameters on artificial wall and on rocks in traditional sandstone areas
Obročníková, Anna ; Vojtíková, Lenka (advisor) ; Pádivý, Martin (referee)
Climbing in general is becoming an increasingly popular sport thanks to artificial walls. In the Czech Republic there is a large representation of traditional sandstone areas. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare and find the difference in performance of selected parameters between climbing on artificial walls and in traditional sandstone areas. The data collection was carried out using a questionnaire sent out on Facebook. A total of 160 respondents completed the survey with an age distribution between 23 and 39 years. The extended IRCRA classification, Pearson's correlation was used to evaluate the performance, followed by the test to exclude zero correlation, mean of differences, standard deviation, coefficient of variation. The correlation and difference of maximum and comfort red pointe top rope performances on artificial wall versus performances in traditional sandstone areas were evaluated. A strong correlation was confirmed for both maximum and comfort red point climbs with a difference of at least 3 IRCRA grades, with higher difficulties achieved by climbers on the artificial wall. In top rope, a moderate relationship was confirmed with a difference of at least 2 degrees, where higher difficulties were achieved by climbers on the artificial wall.

Climbers on artificial walls in Prague and their socio-economic characteristics
Šafránek, Vojtěch ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Vomáčko, Ladislav (referee)
Title: Climbers on artificial walls in Prague and their socio-economic characteristics Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to explore the socioeconomic profile of indoor climbers in Prague Methods: The personal questioning was used as the method to get the information about climbers and their socioeconomic profile. There are 180 quistionnaires collected in November and December on the chosen artificial walls. Results: The interviewed climbers on the chosen artificial walls are men in 61 % and women in 39 %. 90 % of them are aged between 20 - 39. Only 24 % of the climbers devote strictly to the climbing on the artificial walls, the other 76 % do both climbing on the artificial walls and climbing on the rocks in the nature. The majority of the climbers (57 %) have permanent residence in Prague. The biggest part of the climbers prefer to climb in both winter and summer seasons 1 - 2 per week. Usually they do climbing 1 - 2 years (24 %) and 4 -5 years (20%). 21 % of the climbers do not climb during the summer season on the artificial walls at all. There are in summary 38 % of the respondents registered in Czech Mountaineering Federation. 54 % of the climbers are people who graduated from the university. The percentage of people with university degree between climbers is higher then the percentage of...
