Title: Evolution of Prize Money for the 1st places in selected sports Objectives: The main aim of this Master Thesis is to analyse evolution of prize money for winners in selected competitions and disciplines of golf, tennis, athletics and figure skating and prognosis of their evolution until 2020. Another goal is to compare the results of this prognosis and try to determine what influences the evolution. Methods: Methods used for prognosis of the future evolution are prognostic functions FORECAST and LOGLINTREND. Quality of prognosis is based on the Theil Index of Inequality. Trendline is also used to determine future evolution of the data. The correct trendline is chosen based on its reliability value. Results: Result of this theses is the discovery that prize money in history was progressively growing especially in traditional tournaments in tennis and golf. In younger series of competitions in figure skating and athletics prize money remained constant within the years. Prognosis suggests further increase in prize money in Grand Slam and Major tournaments and stagnation in Diamond League and ISU Grand Prix. Keywords: prize money, prognosis, professional sport, golf, tennis, athletics, figure skating

Name: Basic training of the future track and field competitors Target of this work is analysis performance development of tested group of children and young athletes after experience basic athletic preparation lasting one year. Another target was finding out a difference of size performance growth between boys and girls in each class. Testing was applicae on a group of athletes in age 12 - 15, 6.-9. class. Tested children went through enter measuring, following kontroll measuring and finally measuring. They took a part in many competetions, which results I recorded and made conclusion. The enter measuring was made in september 2013, finally measuring one year later in september 2014.. All results was calculated, compared and evaluated. In my work I explored importance of performance increase about boys and girls in each classes after one year.. I compared also a differences in development of children with different weekly training frequency. It was confirmed, that children, practising more than threetimes a week, will reach earlier performance growth and better results. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Title: The effect of stretching on performance of youth athletes in track and field Objectives: The difference of views on stretching as part of sports training is great, so this work aims to prove or disprove its effect on performance. The work should contribute to the awareness of domestic athletic trainers and the results will be applied practically. This work also aims to demonstrate whether the rate of shortened muscles affects the pupil's speed and endurance performance. The work is also interested in whether a strictly adhered stretching plan will reduce the amount of shortened muscles. Method: The thesis is conceived as an experimental study. The study was attended by 30 probands who were divided into two groups. To evaluate the results, a standardized test of shortened muscles according to Janda is used, as well as a run measured by hand-held stems for 2x40 and 600 meters. Result: There are great differences in the youth age between individuals with the almost same age and do the same sport. There are individuals who do not have shortened muscles, but those who have shortened almost every muscle group. The rate of shortened muscle does not affect pupil performance in athletics. Performance on the sprinter and endurance track was deteriorated or even improved, regardless of whether there...

Title: Muscle imbalances in pole vault athletes measured by TMG. Goal: The goal of this work was to choose endangered muscle groups and identify possible imbalances by using Tensiomyography machine (TMG 100) and define hypothesis about training pressure of pole vault on growth of muscle imbalances in selected muscle groups. Methods: This work is based on qualitative research. Specifically, six case studies were conducted, during which the importance was placed on discovering characteristic muscle imbalances, which could appear based on training pressure in pole vault. Tensiomyography machine (TMG 100) was used to measure muscle imbalances. Results: Six pole vaulters participated in this study. We found that training and competitive load of pole vault could create muscle asymmetry in muscles deltoideus anterior and trapezius superior. The training may influence also slows down contractions of biceps brachii muscle and another asymmetry on deltoideus anterior between both muscles. We found very low functional symmetry in elbow joint. Key Words: pole vault, athletics, muscle imbalances, TMG

The objective of this diploma thesis is to compare the basic movement performance of the czech athletics centre AC Turnov federation club members. The movement performace is compared among pupils of the lower secondary schools in Turnov and members of the czech athletics centre AC Turnov federation in 2012 and ordinary school population in 1966. There are four movements tests like running for 50 metres, medicine ball throw (2 kg), long jump (bounced with both legs from the same place) and running in 12 minutes. The results of this research are better for AC Turnov club members than for the pupils from the lower secondary schools in Turnov and from ordinary school population in 1966. There is also evidence in this research that the results of basic movement performace are equated for AC Turnov club members and members of the czech athletics federation in the year 2012. Key words Athletics, sport centres, movement abilities, testing

This Diploma Thesis deal with the age of the top performance of athletes and its development in the World Championships, the Europe Championships and Olympic Games in the 1970 {--} 2007 period. Essential source for this Diploma Thesis was existing data of the birth of athletes, who took medal positions in the competitions. Microsoft Excel was used for processing and evaluating the resulting data. The final output is represented by a series of clearly arranged synoptic tables and charts in which would clearly manifests the progress of the age structure of athletes in the process of reaching the maximal achievements. The results of this research can serve not only for the statistic purposes but mainly for assisting the sport trainers with building their training units.

The goal of the diploma thesis is the design of a training program for sprinters and verification of the training by physical metrics. Experiment is method, which was used in this work. The experimental and testing period lasted from February to June 2013. In the theoretical part, we present the history of sprinting, the various sprinting disciplines, the means of energy supply for sprinting performance and training for the various disciplines. In the practical part, we deal with development of the training plan and evaluation of this plan. Analysis of the results then confirms the hypothesis. There have been improvements in tests of speed, power, reflexes and endurance following the training program. Training plan was successfully authenticated.

Title Technique variability of athletic discipline old school athletes Objectives The aim of the work was to find out how and to what extent the technical variability of the athletic disciplines in the category of the older stage in the execution from the place or from the short start, compared to the whole acceleration version, thus at a higher speed. Methods The thesis was conceived as a theoretical-empirical survey where quantitative and qualitative assessment of the level of fitness and technical readiness of probands was used Results The best rating, and hence the high level of variability, has tested No. 5, which has reached 0.71, pointing to excellent discipline technique even at higher speeds. This is followed by Test No. 4, which has reached 0.40. Testing shows that these two tests are at the same time the best in motor tests where they achieve above-average results, so we can state that the one who is at a higher level of fitness is better able to handle athletic disciplines and adds more speed. The test value 6 also reached the value of 0.20, which also means better technical performance at higher speed. The other tests were always worse in the higher-speed version, worst-tested 3, which deteriorated by 0.72. The other tests worsened by about 0.5. Key words Athletics, older school,...
