Effect of strength training on performance in triathletes
Halamka, Marek ; Jebavý, Radim (advisor) ; Krupková, Dominika (referee)
Title: Effect of strength training on performance in triathletes Objectives: Goal of bachelor thesis is to compare performance parameters between two groups of triathletes. The first group will add strength training to their ordinary endurance training and the second group will continue without strength training. Methods: A crossover design experiment was chosen in which the ES and KS swapped in the middle. The experiment lasted 6 weeks with a TJ frequency of 2-3 per week. The TJ content was aimed at developing whole-body strength endurance in amateur triathletes in the preparatory period. All probands completed entry, control and exit testing where I compared the results of strength training with and without strength training. Results: Results from this work indicated that the inclusion of strength-oriented TJ in endurance athletes resulted in greater gains in fitness tests compared to endurance training alone. Furthermore, the improvement was greater for ES 1 who received the intervention in the first phase of the preparation period than for ES 2 with the intervention later in the preparation period. Keywords: triathlon, strength training, performance, seniors

Marková, Kristýna ; Jebavý, Radim (advisor) ; Krupková, Dominika (referee)
Title: Effect of strength training on posture in triathletes aged 30-45 years Objectives: To examine the effect of incorporating strength-endurance training on posture in triathletes aged 30-45 years. Methods: Effect of strength-endurance training 2-3 times a week for 6 weeks on posture in triathletes. Thirteen amateur triathletes (3 women, 10 men) were selected for the research. After the input testing, the triathletes were randomly divided into groups ES 1 (n=8) and KS 1 (n=6). This was followed by a 6-week intervention programme for ES 1 that added 2-3 training units per week to their normal training activities. During this period, KS 1 was only allowed to do their normal training activities (no strength training). After the control testing, the groups were switched and KS 1 became ES 2 and 6-week intervention programme started for this group. During this period, ES 1 continued with normal training activities but was not to allowed to continues with strength training. The research was completed with output testing ES 2 and ES 1. For the assessment of posture in triathletes a set of tests was used which consisted of Body posture assessment by Jaroš and Lomíček, selected DNS (dynamic neuromuscular stabilization) tests by Kolář, selected tests of hypermobility and movement stereotypes by Janda....

Nováková, Natálie ; Hráský, Pavel (advisor) ; Šteffl, Michal (referee)
Title: Rest and stress diagnostics to determine performance limitation in triathlon Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the results from the rest and stress test, where I used the analysis to define the state of the organism of the examined athlete from the Betri sports club. Another aim is to design an intervention program for 8 weeks in collaboration with an experienced coach Radek Holinka. Based on the evaluation of the input and control parameters I will define the limitations of the performance and compare it percentage wise. Through this type of research I will investigate the changes in the biochemical parameters of the body and the intervention program will increase the potential for better sports performance for the upcoming competition season at amateur level. Methods: The research was carried out using a quantitative method based on expert analysis of the current state of the organism using rest and stress diagnostics in the Betri Lab movement centre. First, resting caloric expenditure was measured using a modern PNOÉ (metabolic analyzer) device, and then a bicycle ergometer stress test was applied to the athletes to determine energy expenditure to determine thresholds and define any performance limitations. During the exercise stress test, the athletes completed...

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.
