Another goal is to evaluate the adequacy of the selected test battery for identifying fitness readiness in floorball players using Pearson correlation coefficient. Methods: The method of (pre)experiment in the form of an intervention program was used. The research was carried out in the form of testing according to a test battery, which included four types of tests: run 50 m, run 30 m backwards, crunches repeated, bench press max (maximum weight in the individuality of the player) and bench press repeated (50 % body weight). The measured performance values in the tests were then evaluated and compared with each other. Results: The players of the tested group showed a significant improvement in 3 tests out of 5 overall after passing the input and output measurements. These consisted of crunches tests repeatedly (improvement by 10,82 %), bench press max (improvement by 6,1 %) and bench press repeatedly (improvement by 9,73 %).

The main aim of this thesis is identification of a new type of time-space constrain related to everyday life of young women aged 18 to 26 years. Semi-structured interviews and mental maps were recorded in the city parts Praha 15 and Petrovice with the aim to identify the perceptual barrier, whose temporal definition applies in particular to the evening hours and drkness. Space exposure of this barrier is registered through using the routine paths especially in avoiding certain places in night time. Dangerous places of this area were discussed too.

The initial part sums up the phenomenon of female sanctity in the 13th century influenced both by new religious orders and by the ideal of "holy ruler" pursued by Anne of Silesia as well. The biographical chapter that follows deals especially with Anne's activities as the duchess of Silesia and benefactress of ecclesiastical institutions. It is based on extraordinarily rich diplomatic material. Though Anne of Silesia did not reach official canonization, a Latin legend on her survived which testifies that a certain religious veneration of her existed.

It is impossible to find an unequivocal answer to the question why Anne did not reach official...
