Title: Comparison of the heart rate values and external performance is based on selected field tests determining maximal heart rate in cycling of cyclist and triathletes Objectives: Objective of thesis is to determine the values of maximal heart rate and external performance from selected field tests in cycling and compare them with one another. Methods: Five cyclist were measured in field tests and acquired results were used to create the graphs and tables. Data were obtained by cycling performance meter Powertap and cycle computer Garmin Edge 500. For the analysis of the measured data was used software Garmin Connect. Results: Based on the results of thesis it can be stated, that the measurement turn out as we expected. The difference of maximal heart rate between test-A and test-B is differed by 3-5 beats, which is not decisive. Both tests can be used for determine maximal heart rate. These tests are suitable for measuring the performance of athletes. Maximal heart rate is not in present an important indicator for training of fitness of individual. For training I would suggest to take a test of lactate curve in the laboratory. Keywords: cycling, external performance, heart rate, terrain test, Powertap

Title: The formation of algic zones on hands while riding a spinning bike Objectives: The aim of the work is verification of changes of nociception in pre-defined points in the cyclists hands during one hour's spinning lesson. Methods: A total of 13 participants (9 female, 4 male), aged between 20-50 years old, took part in this study. First personal data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Subsequently, the pain threshold in the palms and palmar sides of the fingers of both hands was measured using algometer Algometer type II, from the company Somedic Sales AB. The acquired data was then statistically evaluated and compared by Pearson correlation quotient and analysis of variance ANOVA. A comparison of the pain treshold before and after the spinning lesson, related to gender, dominant and non-dominant hand and the age of participants, was eventually carried out. Results: After an hour of spinning had occured, in all measured points there was a reduction in pain threshold with an average of 12.83%. This change was the same in all of the measured points, which means that there was no overloading of one hand or any group of the points. The statistical evaluation has shown, that the change of the pain threshold is not dependent on the gender of the participants, and it is not statistically...

Title: Project of Educational cycle trail in the Protected Landscape Area in Krivoklatsko. Objective: The aim is to create cycling trails nature trails in the Křivoklátsko Protected Landscape Area. Paths and routes the information to the stop and focus on routes processed into a form guide. Methods: Gathering and sorting information about the natural and cultural richness of the area.

Title: Influence of crank arm length on change of muscle tone of musculus triceps surae Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to conclude the theoretical knowledge of this issue. The experiment is to uncover via the objective results, if the change of the crank arm length can influence the muscle tone of m.triceps surae and additionaly how much. Methods: The measurement for this thesis was processed at Charles University at the Faculty of Physical Activity and Sports, measuring 8 volunteers. Via myotonometry, the biomechanic properties (stiffness and viscosity) of m.triceps surae were measured before and after the workout on a bicycle ergometer. These steps were repeated twice within a week with different crank arm length (170mm and 175mm). On the basis of the reaction of soft tissues on deformation from the tip of the myotonometer, the graphs are depicted, containing the hysteresis curve. We evaluate there two phenomenons - steepness and the content of the curves. They indicate biomechanic properties of soft tissues, resp. also the muscle tissue. Results: The measurements from the 1st and 2nd week were compared. The results of 8 probands show that cycling as a physical activity changes stiffness and viscosity of m. triceps surae and has therefore an influence on the muscle tone. Considering larger...

The submitted thesis deals with South Bohemian cycle sport and its transformations between 1948 and 1989. It examines the development of individual clubs in České Budějovice, Tábor and Milevsko with regard to internal and external factors. Beside the club activities, it also focuses on cyclist´s everyday life in socialist Czechoslovakia and analyses the development of cycling equipment, training methods, eating habits and their effect on the performance of the cyclists. Another important factor the thesis investigates is compulsory military service as it played an important part in forming the cycle sport in socialist Czechoslovakia.

This thesis deals with sports sponsorship, concretely with an evaluation of the sponsoring activities of partners for a series of competition mountain bikes called Kolo pro život. The first chapter of the theoretical section explains the definition of sponsorship and types of sponsorship. The second chapter deals with sports sponsorship, strategy and effectiveness. In the practical section starting with the third charter I introduce the competition series Kolo pro život. The fourth chapter focuses on the partners of the competition series, where I analyse the motivation of sponsorship, their goals, marketing activities, target groups etc. In the fifth charter I prove my two hypothesis, which I specified before my research started. In the conclusion I suggest improvements for the future.
