Comparison of results of spiroergometry on running and bicycle ergometer of elite regional triathletes
VÁŇA, Jan
The main aim of our work was to compare adolescent and adult elite triathletes from the South Bohemia region based on the results from the spiroergometry testing on the treadmill and bicyle. All of the tests were performed in the Lab of functional stress diagnosis at the KTVS PF JU. The testing parameters included the values of VO2max, tidal volume, minute ventilation, respiratory rate and the percentage of a body fat. Stress test were performed thanks to running ergomerer Cortex metacontrol 3 000 and a bicycle ergometer LODE Excalibrum Sport. The Tanita BC 481 MA is a bioimpendatory machine that was used to get informations about a body composition. One of the monitored values was the level of VO2max which was higher in adolescents than in adults. The values in the adults were 67,8 ? 6,3 ml.min-1.kg-1 on the bicycle and 69,2 ? 4,9 ml.min-1.kg-1 on the treadmill. In other monitored ventilation parameters, except a tidal volume on the bicycle, we measured higher values in the adults. The vaule of the VO2max was higher in the both categories and for this reason we suppose that triathletes are rather more runners than cyclists. The next thing we came up to is that the differences of the VO2max values are lower in the triathletes than in the runners and cyclists. The adolescent triathletes from the South Bohemia region have higher values of the VO2max than the adults despite their incomplete physical development.

Cycling advocates: reinventing politics in the era of late modernity
Fiala, Šimon ; Kabele, Jiří (advisor) ; Kotík, Michal (referee)
Cycling advocacy has taken a form of a popular worldwide social movement in the beginning of the 21st century. Cyclists demand not only improved conditions for cycling, but also a reform in the way the city is being run in order to be "livable" and saturated with "quality public spaces". This dissertation attempts to put the phenomenon in the context of the theory of risk society and it attempts to incorporate impulses from the theoretical tradition of ANT. The cycling controversy is being read as a re-invention of politics in urban arenas. What is political about the bicycle? More than it may seem. The bicycle has endured a long trajectory of political appropriation by various groups in order to arrive at a point where it began to be conceived as the default starting point of the critique of automobility and Western modernity. As a consequence the bicycle emerges as a loaded political symbol that is being appropriated by cycling advocates in order to problematize the alienated city colonized by cars, appropriated by business interests and neglected by the political representation. The bicycle is being reinvented as a symbol of urban revolution. This dissertation introduces the results of an empirical research undertaken between June 2013 and April 2015 that maps the shape of the cycling controversy in...

Comparison of results of spiroergometry on running and bicycle ergometer of athletes with different specialization
MARKO, David
A choice between a running or bicycle ergometer is not possible in every laboratory. Significant differences may appear in measuring results of ergometers with different load specificity. The aim of our thesis is to find out about the differences of values during the spiroergometric test at the running and bicycle ergometer in sportspeople with different specialization, adolescent categories of mountain cyclists and medium and long track runners. To carry out all the testing, the Functional Load Diagnostic Laboratory belonging to the Department of Sport Studies at the University of South Bohemia. All cyclists and runners underwent both tests during three days having an equal physical condition. The tested parameters included the VO2max value, breath volume, minute ventilation, breathing frequency, maximal heart frequency, and maximal watt performance. Our results proved significant differences of all examined parameters in runners. There was a significant difference in cyclists´ results noted in the following parameters: VO2max, breathing volume, minute ventilation, and watt performance. The average values of the most important parameter, VO2max, in runners, was equal to 60,6 ? 4,24 ml.min-1.kg-1 while running, and 56,0 ? 5,34 ml.min-1.kg-1 while cycling, however, cyclists reached the value of 56,6 ? 5,16 ml.min-1.kg-1 when running, and 61,30 ? 4,47 ml.min-1.kg-1 when cycling. The results of our thesis have proven factually as well as statistically significant differences of measuring results in both running and bicycle ergometer, depending on the type of exercise.

Suggestion and homologation of cycling routes in the area of Blanský les\\
BRABEC, Daniel
My thesis focuses on verification and projecting of cycle tracks in the Protected Landscape Area of Blansky Forest. It also considers current state of the tracks its description and suggestions how to improve and increase attraction of the tracks. Further my thesis deals with new draughts of the tracks whose goal should be recognition of the landscape combined with physical activity and at the same time the newly proposed tracks should only sensitively trench the enviroment of the area.Each of the track will be visualized and drawn into the map or eventually designed for using GPS navigation including kilometrage, crossfalls and KPČ suggestions.
