Šlosarová, Michaela ; Slepičková, Irena (advisor) ; Novotná, Viléma (referee)
4 Abstract Author: Bc. Michaela Šlosarová Title: Prerequisites for the success of rhythmic gymnastics in the Czech Republic Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to assess selected critical success factors of rhythmic gymnastics in the Czech Republic according to the SPLISS 2.0 research within the current system of operation and the development of success at international competitions in previous years. Methods: For the practical part, mixed research was chosen and both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used. The qualitative research is based on semi-structured interviews with three professionals from the rhythmic gymnastics environment. These are representatives from the former presidency of the Czech Rhythmic Gymnastics Association and current coaches. Furthermore, the necessary documents were analysed. In the quantitative research, senior gymnasts were subjected to an electronic questionnaire. Results: The results of this thesis have shown that rhythmic gymnastics in the Czech Republic still has the potential to become a successful sport again and our gymnasts can compete with the world's top gymnasts. Funding is undoubtedly not ideal, but more serious is the area of talent identification and the provision and development of coaches. These pillars are hardly systematic and everything...

Bohůnková, Marie ; Hank, Mikuláš (advisor) ; Gnad, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis was to find out the relationships between the performance of strength skills of the dominant and non-dominant lower limbs with respect to the preferred side of riding in snowboarders of different sexes at the racing level. Elite and sub-elite level snowboarders aged 19.16 ± 4.63 years (11 females and 9 males) participated in testing the isokinetic force in the knee joint and the isometric force in the hip joint. Data collection of isokinetic parameters of flexion strength and extension in the knee joint was performed on a Cybex Humac Norm isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex NORM®, Humac, CA, USA). Collection of isometric parameters of abduction force and adduction in the hip joint was performed by the ForceFrame systémem system (Vald Performance, Australia). The position on the snowboard affected the bilateral asymmetry of force in favor (p <0.05) of the dominant limb (front on the snowboard) in some parameters. The magnitude of the isokinetic force between the dominant and non-dominant limbs differed significantly (p <0.05) at extension in the male group, but not in the female group. Significance difference (p <0.05) was found for flexion only for male group. The dominant lower limb achieved a significantly higher (p <0.05) value of the isometric force of abduction in the...

Vondrysová, Kristýna ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Coufalová, Klára (referee)
Title: A systematic overview of the recommended amount of protein in elite sports and its reflection in the vegan diet Goals: The aim of this work will be to identify whether there are vegan elite athletes who have participated in national / international competitions in sports such as weightlifting, strongman, powerlifting and placed third. Compare the individual recommendations for the volume of protein in the diet based on the vegan diet, and in this sense compare recommendations for the use of the vegan diet in elite sports. Method: This work is processed in the form of an overview study. The search for analysis was selected using the keywords: vegan elite athletes, vegan nutrition, elite sports nutrition, protein nutrition, strength sports. A total of 1077 studies formed the basis for the narrower selection of a total of 12 suitable studies for mutual comparison. The basic method is meta- analysis. Results: The average recommended values for protein intake are 1.8 ± 0.3 g / kg body weight. A total of 66% of the 12 analyzed studies agreed with the statement that vegan nutrition offers opportunities for the full representation of the protein component in the diet and thus creates the necessary prerequisites for achieving high sports performance. However, careful comprehensive diet design is...

Teclová, Julie ; Coufalová, Klára (advisor) ; Jandová, Tereza (referee)
Title: Utilization of nutritional supplements at elite athletes Objectives: The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to determine the character and current trends in the use of nutritional supplements by the top athletes in various sports. The partial goal was to compare the results of the use of nutritional supplements and to develop feedback for individual companies selling sports supplements. Methods: A questionnaire survey was used to collect data, containing open and closed questions regarding the use of nutritional supplements. It also contained questions in what form athletes use supplements, the main reasons for use, at what frequency and what are the preferred brands of supplements. The survey was sent in electronic form to 33 respondents who practice top-level sports in the Czech Republic. Results: It was found that all the surveyed individuals take nutritional supplements. By the endurance athletes, the claim that they prefer supplements with an excitatory effect in combination with supplements leading to weight reduction has been confirmed. It was also proven that more than 50 % of respondents prefer a particular brand of nutritional supplements and do not plan to change it, and more than 50 % of athletes surveyed use supplementation daily. It was also found that elite athletes prefer the...

Kadeřábková, Aneta ; Slepičková, Irena (advisor) ; Fiala, Miloš (referee)
Title: The Future of Motocross sport in the Czech Republic Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to assess chosen factors influencing international success in motocross in the Czech Republic within the current system and development in the previous 40 years. Methods: This is a mixed research. The qualitative and quantitative research methods were used. The semi-structured interviews were made with three experts from motocross sport. Two of them were representatives of the Autoclub of the Czech Republic and one was from regional motocross center. The electronic interrogation method for Czech elite motocross riders and document analysis were also used. Results: Motocross was a very successful sport in the history of the Czech Republic. The results showed that even though funds are important in the motocross, the organisation of this sport in the Czech Republic is still primarily based on voluntariness. There is no promotion of motocross in the Czech Republic, so there is also a lack of popularity and funding. The survey showed dissatisfaction of motocross riders with the work of the Autoclub, riders do not feel support and also negatively evaluated communication from Autoclub. Keywords: Sport success, elite sport, funding, talents promotion, motorsport organization.

Title: Velocity characteristics of soccer players Objectives: The main goal of the thesis id to evaluate and analyze velocity and agility abilities of elite players. Analyze the change direction in velocity in the form of acceleration and deceleration turn over to the opposite direction. Compare the movement task session to the right and left rotating lower limb. Methods: Measured group consisted of 35 players with these athropometric values (age = 20±3,25 years, height = 187 ± 0,648 m, weight = 72 ± 3.25 kg). Players completed the warm-up prior to testing (activation stretching, stretching, warm up and subsequent motion game). Measured tested portion was 5m, followed by turning on the predefined leg and running backwards to the photocell gate (test 505). Each player completed 2 attemps on the right and 2 attemps on the left leg. Method for evaluating the kinematics used 2D video analysis. For video processing software was used Bio TEMA (ImageSystems Ltd., Sweden). Results: Players in test of velocity achieved different times on rotation right and left side. However these differences were not significant. In the first step of slowing and accelerating players do not reach comparable velocity. They can compare velocity on the second step. On right side players will use the stride length at step 2 and...
