Title: Description of selection fitness criteria for selected national teams and dependence of such criteria on performance in a single scull Aim: The main focus of this work is to describe current fitness selection criteria to national teams and ascertain the connection between these criteria and performance in a single scull. Methods: The structure of this thesis is descriptive. The practical part presents the relationship between selected fitness criteria obtained from 11 participants. The relationship is expressed as a correlation coefficient. Twelve values were acquired from each participant, sorted into 3 separate categories.  Tests of maximum power (1RM)  Endurance tests  Rowing ergometr tests Results: It was found that rowing federations select competitors primarily through ergometer testing, namely the tests for 2 km and 5 km or 6 km. Sculling performance is mainly dependent on individual's endurance capabilities with a correlation coefficient of r = 0, 62 and on dead lift with correlation coefficient of r = 0, 64. Power output per unit weight during endurance tests turned out to be irrelevant. So did squatting with added weight (r = 0, 00) and 1500m running (r = 0, 03). Ergometer tests which are characteristic for rowing showed medium correlation (r = 0, 58). Conclusion: None of the...
Impact of inspiratory muscle training on the cardiopulmonary system of elite rowers.
Procházková, Sára ; Procházka, Michal (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee)
This thesis focuses on the physiological and biomechanical relation between rowing and function of the respiratory system. The theoretical part summarizes various possibilities of using the inspiratory muscle training, primarily on accessible information about its use during elite rowers preparation. The thesis contains three case studies of elite female rowers who followed the inspiratory muscle training according to Volianitis's et al. methodology from 2001. Changes in performance of simulated rowing race and in PImax were monitored. Despite the insufficient compliance of prescribed training, we see an improvement of the observed parameters.
