Objectification and level of association between game performance and physical determinants in elite rugby players
Stárka, Daniel ; Malý, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kaplan, Aleš (referee)
Title: Objectification and degree of association between indicators of game load and movement assumptions in elite rugby players Objectives: The aim was to objectify and measure the association between selected indicators of game load and selected movement assumptions in elite rugby players and measure the association between selected results of different fitness tests. Methods: The research group consisted of 31 players of the Czech rugby team of the senior category. Data were acquired using GPSports. The results from fitness testing provided by the Czech Rugby Union were used as indicators of movement assumptions. In total, three matches were measured. During the individual matches, the total distance covered was measured, the distance covered in individual speed zones (1st zone 0.0-1.8 km/h, 2nd zone 1.8-6.1 km/h, 3rd zone 6, 1-13.0 km/h, 4th zone 13.0-18.0 km/h, 5th zone 18.0-24.1 km/h, zone 6th >24.1 km/h), number of inputs to individual acceleration and deceleration zones (1st zone 1.2- 2.4 m/s/s, 2nd zone 2.4-3.6 m/s/s, 3rd zone 3.6-4.8 m/s/s). Results: The results of the work contain data that are unparalleled in Czech conditions. Tight forwards run 70.50 ± 7.09 m/min lose forwards 73.89 ± 4.25 m/min, inside backs 81.70 ± 11.71 m/min and outside backs 82.82 ± 12.71 m/min. In one match,...

A Comparison of Somatotype between Female Rugby Union Forwards and Backs
Vacková, Petra ; Vokounová, Šárka (advisor) ; Kinkorová, Ivana (referee)
Title: A Comparison of Somatotype between Female Rugby Union Forwards and Backs Objectives: To compare differences and similarities of somatotype between female forwards and backs of the Czech Rugby Union. Method: A total number of 30 elite female rugby players participated in this study. Somatic measurements necessary to specify one's somatotype and Heath- Carter method were used on all subjects. All collected data was analysed in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets with results demonstrated using bar charts, tables and somatographs. Results: No significant differences were found between selected groups. Mesomorphy was found to have the highest value in both groups followed by the endomorphic and ectomorphic component. The endomorphic and mesomorphic component was found to be higher in forwards, however the value of ectomorphy was slightly higher in backs. In comparison with research of Welsh female rugby players, mean somatotype of this study was more comparable to the elite group of players. Keywords: somatotype, Rugby Union, forwards, backs

Macháček, Jan ; Kaplan, Aleš (advisor) ; Hojka, Vladimír (referee)
Thema works: Comparison of physical demands of fifteens and sevens rugby Student: Jan Macháček Supervisor: Aleš Kaplan Aims: Outline the differences between rugby 7s and XVs based on a literature search. An analysis of the literature to find the terms that define the issue. Methodology: The method of literary research was used in the work, mainly from foreign sources. To meet the goal, concepts were chosen that helped to compile the idea of the structure of sports performance in rugby sevens and fifteens. Results: Over 250 electronic sources were acquired and researched as part of the fulfillment of the objectives of this work, based on the definitions of search keywords. All these sources were, with exceptions, in the English language. Of these, 60 articles covered men's sevens, 14 women's 7s, 68 men's and 7 women's XV, 32 youth rugby. Further 66 sources consisted of statistical yearbooks, periodization, talent identification articles, and coaching manuals. Three studies were identified, using a research method to compare aspects of different versions of rugby, but not in a systematic comprehensive form nor with the inclusion of both genders. Results of the research showed clear differences in per-minute running distances, higher frequency and length of sprints and high-intensity runs in the...

Comparison of game skills between Czech, New Zealand and Canadian nation team of women's rugby
Zdeňková, Eva ; Suchý, Jiří (advisor) ; Vacek, Filip (referee)
Theme of the work: Comparison of game skills between Czech, New Zealand and Canadian nation team of women's rugby Student: Eva Zdeňková Supervisor: doc. PhDr. Jiří Suchý, Ph.D. Aims: The purpose of bachelor thesis is to found the biggest lack of game skills and the standard situations in Czech national team in comparison with studied teams and judge if skill errors of players are significant for the results of particular matches. Methodology: Firstly we work up assignments. With the help of the created stats we will compare differences in success of particular teams. Also we will ascertain if skill errors of players are significant for the results of matches. Results: There is no significant difference in between the game skills of Czech national team and both New Zealand or Canadian national teams. A slight difference could be seen in; passing, dynamics and continuity of a game. Those differences are not as visible as expected, therefore the more significant differences in between the observed teams, have been suspected to come up from players conditioning. Keywords: Rugby union, game skills, standard situation, game performance, individual error.
