Användandet av strömmande medier har ökat explosionsartat under de senaste åren. Oavsett om det sker märkbart för användaren eller inte använder sig gemene man i princip dagligen av någon form av tjänst som distribueras via strömmande medier över Internet. Det kan röra sig om allt från att lyssna på webbradio till att titta på videoklipp från nyhetsportaler eller sportsidor på Internet. I denna rapports första del görs en kartläggning över strömmande medier rent generellt. Den läsekrets som inte är särskilt insatt i ämnet får reda på vad strömmande medier är, vilka aktörer som finns på marknaden, möjliga distributionssätt, historik med mera. Fortsättningsvis kommer rapporten att behandla hur införandet av strömmande medier går till i teorin: hur distributionskedjan ser ut, vilka krav som konsument och producent ställer och hur man försöker att lösa problem som uppstår. Det senare leder vidare till en genomgång av bland annat streamingprotokoll, bredbandstekniker och komprimeringsstandarder för ljud och bild. I rapportens senare del ges exempel på hur strömmande medier införs i praktiken. Här läggs speciellt fokus på användningsområdet sport och direktsändningar av sportevenemang. Konkreta exempel beskrivs och vi får även reda på hur det går till att genomföra en direktsänd sportsändning via strömmande medier. Som avslutning diskuteras tänkbara framtidscenarion och en utredning av en unikInternetsändning av en elitishockeymatch görs.

Title: Compensation program for youth in ice hockey. Objectives: The main goal of this work is to compile and verify the effectiveness of the compansation program for ice hockey players in the older school age category. Methods: In our work, we used the empirical qualitative type of research of one 10 - member control group of ice hockey players of the same age group, aged 12-13, conceived as a quasi-experiment. The muscle imbalances are evaluated in the practical part. Based on the results of the input diagnostics of the postural and phasic muscles we built a compansation program containing a battery of exercises set up to relaase, stretch and strengthen the most problematic areas of the movement apparatus of ice hockey players. The results evaluate the effectiveness of the compensation program, which has been running for ten months. Results: The work proved the hypothesis that the compansation program works. The compansation excercises positively influence the muscle imbalances. The control group has achieved better results in output testing. Keywords: Muscle imbalance, ice hockey, testing, compensation exercises, older school age.

TITLE: Biological and social factors of ice hockey players at different performance levels AUTHOR: Bc. Martin Gebhart DEPARTMENT: Department of Physical Education SUPERVISOR: PaedDr. Ladislav Pokorný ABSTRACT: The thesis explores a biological and social factors of ice hockey players at various performance levels in the category of men. Defines the differences in values that arise from these factors when changing the performance level and building a team. The work also characterizes the construction of the team in terms of basic biological and social indicators, defines the profile of the player that is characteristic for performance level. The thesis explores basic biological parameters of the player, assumptions for sport performance, especially from the point of view of somatotype. It also learns about the social problems of sport, the characteristics of the sports team and it is engaged in organizing ice hockey competitions, especially by canceling some junior category competitions and by reorganizing competitions of the regional men's league. KEYWORDS: Biological Factors, Social Factors, Somatotype, team composition, ice hockey

Skridskoåkning är en avgörande faktor för prestation i ishockey och styrka (i nedre extremitet) är i sin tur avgörande för hur snabb spelaren är på isen. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka sambandet mellan power off-ice och skidskosnabbhet på is. Sju män 19.5 ± 0.5 år vid ett gymnasium ställde upp i studien och genomförde ett testbatteri bestående av Ishockeyförbundets styrketester samt Effektmätning vid knäböj. Variabler i dessa styrketester korrelerades sedan mot deltagarnas resultat i skridskotestet Acceleration & Speed för att bestämma vilka styrkevariabler som är relevanta för skridskosnabbhet. Resultaten visade signifikanta samband mellan absolut styrka i frivändning och tid på total skridskosträcka (ρ=0.77, p<0.05) samt hastighetssträckan (ρ=0.77, p=<0.05). Signifikant samband kunde även påvisas mellan relativ styrka i frivändning och hastighetssträckan (ρ=0.71, p<0.05). Slutsatsen av denna studie är att delar av testbatteriet är relevant för att anskaffa information om en spelares maximala åkhastighet. / Skating is a key factor for a successful ice hockey player and strength in the lower extremity is therefore a crucial factor for determination of a players speed on the ice. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between power, tested off-ice, and skating speed on ice. Seven male ice hockey players aged 19.5 ± 0.5 years were recruited from a local highschool. They completed a test battery consisting of the Swedish Ice hockey associations strength tests and power measurements in squat. In order to determine which strength variable is the most relevant to skating speed the strength variables were correlated to the results in a skating test called Acceleration and Speed. The results showed significant correlations between 1RM in clean and time on total distance (ρ=0.77, p<0.05) and velocity (ρ=0.77, p=<0.05) in the skating test. A significant correlation was also found between relative strength in clean and velocity (ρ=0.71, p<0.05). The conclusion of this study was that parts of the testing battery is relevant for use when collecting information on a players maximum skating speed.

Title: Relation between selected off-ice tests and performance in on-ice Illinois Agility test of ice hockey players between 14-17 years old in Czech elite category. Objectives: The main goal of this thesis was to determine whether the somatotype and selected off-ice tests are significant predictors for performance in the on-ice agility test in ice hockey players in the youth elite category. Methods: The research group consisted 28 ice hockey players (8 forwards and 18 defenders) x̅ = 14,88 ± 0,57. Players played highest youth league during the measurement period. The method of Heath and Carter (1990) was used to determine the somatotype. Squat Jump, Countermovement Jump, Free Arm Countermovement Jump, Sit and Reach, pull-ups and off- ice Illinois Agility with a ball were used as off-ice tests. The Aspin-Welch two-samle T-test with Effect size (ES) Hedges' g was used to evaluate the degree of difference in performance between forwards and defenders. Pearson's correlation coefficient with ES coefficient of determination R2 was applied to determine the tightness of relationships between selected variables. Evaluation of the significance of predictors for performance in on- ice agility tests was performed through multiple regression analysis. The significance of the model was assessed according to the...

Title: Transfer regulations in Czech ice hockey and its impacts Objectives: The main goal of this work is, by research, to evaluate the functioning of the current transfer rules in Czech ice hockey and to reveal its shortcomings. Subsequently, to develop proposals for its modifications, which can be applied in the Czech hockey environment. Methods: To obtain the necessary data, the research consists of both quantitative and qualitative parts. Thus, a combination of two methods was used, namely electronic questioning and in-depth interview. The work also used the method of document analysis - the current transfer regulations. The shortcomings and subsequent impacts on the environment of ice hockey have been ascertained from the first expert, and what are the reasons for functioning in current form, from the second one. In both cases, the interview took place as an interview using instructions. Development diagrams were created to interpret the results. To verify the results of in-depth interviews and to find out the possibility of applying potential changes, an electronic survey was conducted among the representatives of individual clubs. Results: The research has shown that the current transfer rules actually have several problems that can negatively affect individuals, but also the hockey...

This thesis analyze the conception of the sport centre in Brno za Lužánkami. The area has a very extensive sport history, which dates back to 1922. Nowadays this topic has been very discussed because of the hockey and football history in the place of Lužánky. Hockey and football teams were forced to abandon Lužánky as a consequence of decrepitude and very bad technical aspects of the buildings. The diploma thesis deals with the new concept of the entire area where the professional and leisure sport activities will take place. The extensive architectural study of the multifunctional hockey stadium resolves the location of the object on the same place as the previous stadium. It put emphasis on the generous scattering area around the stadium, easy navigation and placement of the entrances from all around the object. The multifunctional usage of the stadium is solved by the telescopic grandstand and it offers the standard capacity of 10 500 spectators at a hockey match and up to 14 300 spectators at a concert event. The main expression element of the exterior of the stadium are the facade lamellas. They accentuate the ground floor with their dynamic placing and clearly indicate the main entrances to the object. In the night the glasses lamellas are shined by the integrated LED lights and enable to switch endless different faces of the stadium according by the current occasion.

The thesis analyses the current economic position of the football club HC Kometa Brno, a.s. (joint-stock company), including the analysis of motives and conditions for the sponsorship of the club.

Master´s thesis deals with design of a three floor budilding of support areas for ice-hockey stadium. Specificaly they are changing rooms, snack bar and toilets, fitness center with wellness and administration premises.

Nos recherches s'inscrivent dans le cadre théorique Ecological Dynamics du contrôle moteur, considérant que le comportement moteur, émerge, persiste et se réorganise en fonction des interactions de l’individu avec un ensemble de contraintes. Sur cette base, nous explorons les indices permettant de rendre compte de l’adaptation motrice du hockeyeur à diverses contraintes afin d’analyser l’expertise. À ce titre, nous avons conduit nos recherches en deux temps : i) une analyse qualitative d’entretiens semi-directifs, et ii) une analyse des paramètres superficiels (cinématique et cinétique) et profonds (coordination) du mouvement de patinage avant. À travers l’analyse de dix entretiens d’entraîneurs experts, nous avons observé que les entraîneurs faisaient appel à des connaissances « opératives » organisées en trois catégories (la posture du hockeyeur, l’action des bras, la cinématique des membres inférieurs). Cette étude nous a permis d’enrichir la connaissance des indicateurs de performances du patinage expert et de guider la conception d’un protocole expérimental représentatif du contexte écologique de pratique. La seconde partie du travail consiste en une analyse des paramètres profonds et superficiels du mouvement sous l’effet de manipulation de contraintes de tâche lors d’un sprint sur 20m. Les résultats révèlent une forte stabilité du pattern expert au niveau de l’ensemble des paramètres superficiels, ainsi qu’un mode de coordination en rattrapé et une symétrie entre les membres inférieurs, lorsque l’activité du joueur n’est pas contrainte par la conduite du palet. Cette dernière induit une flexibilité du comportement caractéristique de l’adaptabilité de l’expert. / Based on the theoretical framework of Ecological Dynamics, the aim of this PhD thesis is to analyse the motor behaviour of expert ice-hockey players in relation to a set of interacting constraints. Based on this theoretical framework, our research investigates the performance indicators in order to understand how ice-hockey expert players’ behaviour emerges, persists and is reorganised when the individuals interacts with a set of constraints. We conduced our work in two stages: i) a qualitative research analysing semi-structured interviews of ice-hockey expert coaches and ii) a biomechanics analysis of forward skating. Analysing 10 ice-hockey expert coaches interviews reveals that coaches used ‘operative knowledge’ organized into three main categories (arm movement, lower limb kinematics and posture). This study allowed us to improve our understanding of performance indicators of expert forward skating. It also helped us to design a more representative biomechanics research protocol of forward skating. The second part of this thesis consists of an analysis of low-order and high-order parameters under task constraints manipulation during 20m forward sprints. Our results showed a strong stability of forward skating pattern at the low-order parameters scale as well as a stable catch-up coordination between the two feet and a stable symmetry in the lower limbs movement coordination when expert player weren’t under puck dribbling situation. When they had to run with the puck, experts’ behaviour revealed a significative variability in skating pattern organisation suggesting flexibility of experts’ behaviour in order to improve their adaptability to tasks constraints.
