The title of the master thesis: Clinical evaluation of ROM of shoulder joint in cadet and junior category players of so-called overhead sports Abstract in English language: The goal of this thesis is to elucidate whether the "overhead" athletes like handballers and volleyballers suffer from extension changes and local hypermobility in their shoulder joints. These changes are going to be described by trigonometric measurements and hypermobility tests by Sachse. It is going to be determined which "overhead" athletes are affected the most. Their sex is going to be taken into consideration. The theoretical part of the thesis describes selected "overhead" sports and their strain on a human body from a kinesiologic point of view. Especially the impact of offensive blows in volleyball and throws in handball on shoulder joints are going to be examined. The thesis is going to examine a shoulder girdle from an anatomy, kinesiology, biomechanics, and physiology point of view. A chapter focused on hypermobility and it is classification is included too. 95 people without a prior injury of a shoulder joint in the age from 16 to 19 years old including 73 "overhead" athletes were tested. There were 30 men, 40 women, 34 handballers, and 39 volleyballers. In the control group, there were 22 people, of which 11 men and 11...

The thesis represents the environment of amateur volleyball and at the same time familiarizes with a concept of social capital. As the environment of amateur volleyball the author chooses seasonal contest Amateur volleyball league. To clarify the concept of social capital, she uses mainly the knowledge from works of sociologists Putnam, Coleman, and Bourdieu. The aim of the thesis is to know the degree of creation and usage of social capital in the environment of amateur volleyball with an emphasis on amateur concepts. Based on selected articles from some works of the mentioned authors, several hypotheses are developed. A sociological survey in the form of a specially compiled questionnaire and subsequent analyzes serves to verify these hypotheses. The analyzes confirmed all the developed hypotheses, namely that the actors included in the group of amateur volleyball players are able to successfully create and use the concept of social capital.

Title: The Comparison of the results of motor tests of VK Rakovník volleyball players with a selection of SCM players of the same age Objectives: The aim of the work is to analyze and compare the results of motor tests in players VK Rakovník - volleyball club, z.s. and SCM players of the same age. Methods: The datas measured by VK Rakovník and a players belonging to SpS and SCM in 2019 were used to perform the analysis. The tested group has 163 players. A complete boxplot was used to analyze the data - maximum, minimum, arithmetic median, mean, standard deviation and 1st - 4th quartile. Results: The results show that the VKR section has a lower level of motor skills. And in the test, jump after a smeart run, throw 1 kg of medicine ball - one-handed, long jump from the place. In the K-test, the VKR section was better than the SCM selection. The results show differences between VKR performance players and top SCM players. From the knowledge gained, we can assume that the players of the VKR section have a lower level of motor skills, which are the basis for volleyball players. Keywords: forms of volleyball, movement skills, selection of talents, test battery.

Events and attractions can bring visitors and have economic impact and significance in the local areas. The measure and estimate of the economic impact and significance becomes a big concern for the organizers, governments and local residents. This study assessed the economic significance and impact of the Volleyball Hall of Fame and its related events in October 2009, and furthermore it examined its charitable impressions. The study first examined the demographic background of the visitors, and then followed the basic economic impact and significance assessment process proposed by Crompton and Stynes. The locals, casuals and time-switchers were identified, and then the study assessed the economic contributions in two dimensions: (1) the economic significance assessment including all the visitors, and (2) the typical economic impact assessment excluding the locals, casuals and time-switchers, and applied a conservative multiplier. Group sizes and the lengths of the stay were also examined to determine how they may also relate to the economic significance and impact assessment. Additionally the study assessed the charitable impressions by the visitors through a set of Likert scaled statements. The study found that, although the Volleyball Hall of Fame is a small-scale attraction, it did generate an economic contribution to the local community. Furthermore visitors had strong awareness of, and supported the Volleyball Hall of Fame’s participation in the non-profit charitable events, and the charitable impressions were identified as possible means to promote visitors' willingness to donate to the Volleyball Hall of Fame.

Thesis title: Electromyographic Analysis of the Shoulder Girdle Muscles Inclusion of Volleyball Players Problem definition: Elite sport is very demanding, not only physically, but also mentally. The demands on the musculoskeletal system are often not compensated, especially in children and junior categories. The only targeted and regular compensation takes place at volleyball by the fitness training in the gym, but not always properly lead and adapted to the individual needs of athletes. The question is whether it is possible to prevent these problems. From my perspective, yes, the inclusion of appropriate compensation exercise in normal training session, which will require little equipment and time and to be functionally connected with volleyball technique that players do not lose the game performance. In the context of the thesis will be compared exercising of the second diagonal PNF for the upper extremity with an elastic resistance and simulated strike without the ball - volley lob, as an alternative fitness of exercises for volleyball players. Objectives: The aim of the dissertation is based on the available literature to outline the issues of kinesiological and biomechanical relationships of the shoulder girdle in sports especially in volleyball, which is a typical representative of the...

Jumping ability in volleyball players is crucial to a team's success. There are both muscular and neural components in jumping. Coaches often test jumping ability and body composition prior to the start of the competitive season, but many fail to monitor these important variables during the course of the season. Jumping ability can decrease over the course of the season as the focus moves from strength training in the weight room to skill development on the court. It is imperative that players maintain their jumping ability and body composition over the course of the season. Seasonal changes in elite-male volleyball players were determined by testing the players body composition, spike jump, block jump and lower body power index at three distinct time points: prior to the first game, during their bye-week, and at the end of their regular season. It was found that these players were able to maintain their vertical jump and lower body power index. Also, those who were deemed players (those who played throughout the course of the season) had lower body fat percentages and higher jump scores. These results will aid coaches in understanding the changes that occur over the course of the season in elite-male collegiate volleyball players.
