Anthropometrical, physiological, strength and other determinants of rowing performance - review of correlation-predictive analyses
Hellebrand, Jaroslav ; Busta, Jan (advisor) ; Macas, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Anthropometrical, physiological, strength and other determinants of rowing performance - review of correlation-predictive analyses Objectives: To conduct a systematic literature review to search for a best single performance variable(s) (a measure of performance) that is(are) associated with rowing performance. Methods: This thesis utilizes usual review methods in a form of database search, synthesis, and data extraction. Results: After the initial screening of 534 articles the total of 24 articles was included in this thesis for review. We identified 11 performance variables with high coefficient of correlation; Body Mass (kg), Lean Mass (kg), VO2Max (L/min), Power at VO2Max (W), Power at 4mml (W), Body Height (cm), Wingate mean (W), Wingate maximal (W), Wingate minimal (W), Leg Press 1RM (kg), and 2000m rowing ergometer score. Keywords: rowing, performance analysis, correlation, performance prediction, review

About identification of motor predispositions in triathlon
Kovářová, Lenka ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Čepička, Ladislav (referee) ; Zháněl, Jiří (referee)
Title: About identification of motor predispositions in triathlon Aims: The aim of our study was to find and verify appropriate indicators predicting the on-coming performance in a short triathlon and determine their level for the junior category. Methods: In our study, we combined quantitative and qualitative approaches with a predominance of quantitative methods. In the first phase of the research, we used quantitative methods, confirmatory factor analysis for verification of models of predispositions and elaboration of performance standards for individual tests by means of T-points. In the second part of the research, we used the qualitative method (casuistic studies) to validate the test battery and its application in practice. Results: We have compiled a structural model of motor predispositions for short triathlon, which explained 91% of all cross-correlations of seventeen used indicators. Predispositions for triathlon were categorized into five separate groups; for swimming, cycling and running (i.e. according to individual disciplines), and functional and psychological predispositions. Finding a lower limit boundary of performance in the completed tests is considered to be the most important issue for the assessment of future performance in triathlon. As a lower limit we have set the zone...

Refine the prediction process for the software Combatfit
Štefanský, Michal ; Michalička, Vladimír (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Title: Refine the prediction process for the software Combatfit Aim: Find more accurate method to predict for the need of software Combatfit. Compare software prediction with field measurements and suitable alternative for predicting. The methods used: The thesis is empiric - teoretic research and it is consist of two parts. 1) Teoretic part - analytic work 2) Empiric part - metodologic study Results: The nomogram was chosen as a suitable way of prediction. The research was realized at 3 km, 8 km and 10 km on track in the field. The measured times were used to compare the predicted time by software Combatfit with time prediction according to the nomogram. It was found that the nomogram predictions outperforms software Combatfit. Furthermore it was determined tightness of the relationship between predicted and measured time in either process. The tightness of the relationship with the nomogram was very high up to absolute. The tightness of the relationship with the software Comatfit was moderate. This statement applies to test files that was used. It is not entirely clear whether this would achieve the same conclusions for other performance groups. Key words: Software Combatfit, prediction of performance, movement, external conditions, nomograme.

Prediction of performance with software Combatfit
Štefanský, Michal ; Barták, Erik (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Title: Prediction of performance with software Combatfit Aim: Describe functions of software Combatfit. Copmare calculation of Combatfit with terrain measurement. The methods used: The thesis is empiric - teoretic research and it is consist of two parts. 1)Teoretic part - analytic work 2)Empiric part - metodologic study Results: The objective of research was time of run on 8 km trail with 10 kg of external load. Measured time was compared with time of software Combatfit prediction, which is based on entrance exams. Results shows that prediction is noticeably differ from measured time. Also it was investigate rate of relation tightness between prediction and measured time. Relation tightness work out low, against expectation. Prediction of software Combatfit is inaccurate. This statement is certain for test aggregate, nevertheless it is not sure, if same conclusions will be reach for other performance groups. Key words: Software Combatfit, prediction of performance, movement, external conditions, load carriage.
