<p>In this research paper, guided by Prof Z Groener, I explore the learning barriers experienced by deaf learners in the structured workplace component of a learnership programme. I focus on the learning barriers of deaf learners at work on an Information Technology learnership where the learning environment shapes and are shaped by deaf learners. Twenty deaf learners have entered during 2005 into an Information Technology: Technical Support NQF4 learnership, funded by the Information Systems (IT), Electronics and Telecommunications Technologies Sector Education Training Authority (ISETT Seta). I have determined how deaf learners are faring with work and learning in a technological environment that has experienced rapid and extensive restructuring during the past ten years. The specific difficulties which they experience during their structured workplace component of the learnerships have also been defined. I argue that when deaf learners form part of a community of practice, consisting of both deaf learners and hearing colleagues and who operate in the same area of knowledge and activity, they fare better than those who did not form part of such a community. I conclude this research paper with a link to the situated learning theory where I explain why the learner&rsquo / s situation contributed to their ability to learn.</p>

Title: Seasonal variabilityof speed and endurance skills of young elite soccer players. Objectives: Comparison of variability in speed and endurance capabilities of young elite soccer players during one season in the U-12 category based on the results of a test battery consisting of 4 tests (30 m sprint test, Agility 505 Test, Illinois test and Yo-yo intermittent recovery test level 1). Methods: Our thesis is characterized by using comparison and testing methods. We use the comparison method in the result section, in order to compare the performance of individual players by means of statistical methods. This is how we focus on each of our test exercises during all four testing phases included in seasonal macrocycle. The results: As the result of our thesis, we found out that the physical abilities of individual players and their demonstration in the performed tests improve or remain the same or statistically very similar throughout the season. We observe the highest variability in agility 505 test with a 6.96 % DL and 7.29 % NDL as well as a 25.86 % in Yo-Yo intermittent recovery level 1. According to our observations, deviations in the performance of soccer players are mainly caused by long-term and systematic training process, different training and match load of the players during the...

Bakgrund: Agility är en egenskap som är avgörande för tennisspelares prestation. Det är således en egenskap som regelbundet bör tränas och utvärderas. Till detta projekt presenteras ett nyutvecklat och tennisspecifikt test som kan användas för att utvärdera tennisspelares reaktiva agilityförmåga.  Syftet med studien var att utvärdera testets reliabilitet och validitet för att fastställa dess övergripande kvalitet. Ett andra syfte var att undersöka vilka fysiska egenskaper som korrelerade med prestationen på agilitytestet. Metod: Deltagare till studien var 18 tennisspelare (9 flickor och 9 pojkar; ålder 14.5 ± 1.5) med erfarenhet av matchspel på regional samt nationell nivå. Under ett testtillfälle på deltagarnas respektive tennisklubb genomfördes kroppsmätningar, fysiska tester samt agilitytester med en reaktiv komponent (RAG: reactive agility) och utan en reaktiv komponent (CODS: change of direction speed). Resultaten visade på en hög absolut reliabilitet (CV%: 2.69–4.28%) samt hög relativ reliabilitet (ICC:0.802–0.943). Fysiska egenskaper som korrelerade med agilityförmåga var spänst, sprintsnabbhet samt reaktiv styrka. Konklusion: Slutsatsen som kan dras är att det nyutvecklade tennisspecifika agilitytestet är ett reliabelt test som tennisspelare kan använda för att utvärdera sin agilityförmåga men där validiteten inte gick att uttala sig om i några mätbara termer och mer forskning är nödvändig. / Background: Agility is an important ability in tennis and should be trained and evaluated on a regular basis. In this project a newly developed tennis specific reactive agility test is presented.  Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the agility test. A second aim was to analyze correlations between agility performance and physical abilities. Method: The sample consisted of 18 tennis players (9 males and 9 females; age 14.5 ± 1.5) who competed at regional and national level. The variables comprised body dimensions, sprint speed, jump height measures, single leg balance, change of direction speed (CODS) and reactive agility (RAG).  Results: The results showed a high absolute reliability (CV%: 2.69–4.28%) and high relative reliability (ICC:0.802–0.943). Physical abilities that correlated with agility performance was jump height, sprint speed and reactive strength.  Conclusion: The conclusion is that the newly developed reactive agility test is reliable and can be used by tennis players to evaluate agility. The test´s validity is not possible to determine, and more studies are needed.

This diploma thesis deals with analysis of the highest and best use. The first part of the thesis is the theoretical part, which deals mainly with valuation methods and the essence of analysis. This analysis is applied to the Nursery School in Pilsen, where it examines whether the proposed variants meet the four tests. The result is finding the highest and best use of the object.

Objectives: The aim of this work was to monitor and describe the state of fitness preparation of young tennis players in age 12 - 15 years old in the West Bohemian region. Methods: In this work we have used these methods: interview with a trainer, summary report, content analysis and frame analysis as a partial method. Results: We have found out that players who have regular and systematic fitness preparation in their training regime perform much better than those who have not included fitness preparation into their training routine. Keywords: physical abilities used in tennis, general and specific fitness preparation, organization and forms of fitness preparation, compensatory exercise.

Диссертационное исследование посвящено подготовке к сдаче норм комплекса ГТО людей зрелого возраста, с использованием индивидуальных тренировочных программ, а так же новых средств и методик в фитнес индустрии. / The dissertation research is devoted to preparation for hitting qualifying standards of the GTO complex of people of mature age, with use of individual training programs, and also new means and techniques in industry fitness.

The submitted diploma thesis deals with the topic: ,,Physical activity of working people focusing on the employees of the Police of the Czech Republic". The definition of terms describing the physical activity is included in the theoretical part of the thesis. The physical activity is one of the factors influencing the heath of the population. The thesis objective is to monitor the physical activity among the employees of the Czech Police. It is evaluated on the basis of the standardized IPAQ-long questionnaire and measurements using Yamax Digiwalker SW-700 pedometers. The detected results of the measured physical activity are subsequently compared with the general recommendations for physical activity.
