Physiological response to adventure activity
Řezník, Ondřej ; Psohlavec, Lukáš (advisor) ; Baláš, Jiří (referee)
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of height on the physiological response of the body and walking speed during challenge activity. Methods: The study included 27 subjects, with an average age of 23±2, who were students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport (FTVS) at Charles University. The participants walked for 4 minutes over a low obstacle and 4 minutes over a high obstacle at their own pace, followed by 4 minutes over a low obstacle at a specified speed. The monitored parameters were heart rate (HR) and speed (V). Results: The average HR during walking over a low obstacle at the specified speed was 100 beats per minute (σ=12.335), and the average speed was 0.272 (σ=0.221). During walking over a high obstacle, the HR was 133 beats per minute (σ=16.125). During walking over a low obstacle at their own pace, the average HR was 111 beats per minute (σ=13.416), and the average speed was 0.706 (σ=0.269). Conclusion: Walking at height reflects the subjectively perceived risk through physiological responses. The height of the obstacle, which induces a subjectively perceived risk, increases the heart rate by 33 %. The walking speed decreased by an average of 0.434 m/s on the high obstacle. Kewords: adventure education, risk, heart rate, stress.
Outdoor Activities at secondary schools in Mladá Boleslav from the view of students
Pelikán, Karel ; Turčová, Ivana (advisor) ; Nováková, Lenka (referee)
Title: Outdoor activities in selected secondary schools in Mladá Boleslav Aim: The aim was to create a comprehensive summary of sport courses organized by secondary schools as a part of compulsory education and to find out students' true opinion of these courses, using the feedback based on executed activities. Method: The datas were collected using interviews and checklists which contained opened,closed and scaled questions. These datas were interpreted considering graphs and led into conclusions. Results: Sport courses'structure is mostly concieved in way that educatiors don't care about preparation properly, they don't take advantage of natural environment but students showed appreciation to running of courses, though. Key words: physical education, outdoor sports, adventure education, experience, sport games, ecological education.

JANOUŠKOVÁ, Kateřina
The work deals with the development, goals and content of the open-air schools at the area of today{\crq}s Czech Republic. The theoretical part defines a term ``outdoor education{\crqq} and describes the development of the open-air schools in the Czechoslovak Republic from the 1920{\crq}s to the end of 20th century and following up until today. The practical part of this work follows up successful theoretical knowledge of open-air schools in the Czech Republic and abroad. Positive experience places the open-air schools firmly in the future.
