Title: Physiological responses on standardized climbing task in sport climbers Purpose: To determine the effect of height, wall angle, climbing speed and climbing ability on physiological responses in sport climbers. Methods: The study was divided into three parts. 75 sport climbers (36 female and 39 male) completed differing tests on climbing wall and motorized climbing ergometer. Perceived exertion was assessed on a scale suggested by Borg. Indirect calorimetry, venous blood samples and near-infrared spectroscopy were used to assess physiological response, hormonal response and muscle oxygen saturation, respectively. Results: Perceived exertions were higher when climbing to height as opposes to climbing low to the ground on the treadwall (+5,3%; P = 0,013; ηp 2 = 0,149) (Study 1A). The physiological response was higher on the climbing wall as opposed to the treadwall: V̇ O2 (+6%; P = 0,03; ηp 2 = 0,22), SF (+4%; P = 0,04; ηp 2 = 0,20), V̇ E (+9%; P = 0,01; ηp 2 = 0,30) a EC (+16%; P < 0,001; ηp 2 = 0,48). There was an interaction for climbing ability and post- climbing catecholamine concentration (P < 0,01, ηp 2 = 0,28) (Study 1B). With increasing climbing speed greater differences were found for V̇ O2 (P < 0,001, ηp 2 = 0,923) than for StO2 (P < 0,001, ηp 2 = 0,448). Between-subject effect...

In this paper, we investigate a non-invasive procedure for static and dynamic modeling of cardiac output and oxygen consumption in response to cardiopulmonary exercise during exercise. The results are presented on 2 athletes - a football player and cross-country runners who have undergone 10 stress tests for 5 years. The results can also be used to model some other physiological parameters. Measurements were performed in laboratory conditions that allowed measurable exercise settings and well-measurable load responses, such as heart rate, ventilation, and oxygen consumption.

Title: Comparison of functions of sports testers designed for control and monitoring of parameters of movement in water Objectives: Comparison and evaluation of individual functions of selected sport-testers in different types of swimming training. Methods: The research group consisted of one probande, a student of Charles University FTVS. In the research, we chose a controlled observation method to detect and compare the individual functions of selected sports testers over three types of swimming training. Results: Based on an analysis of the accuracy of the recording of observed quantities for individual sporttesters, we found that the sporttesters Polar and Garmin can be used both to manage and guide and control swimming training. However, the final record needs to be supplemented by the exact sum of the swimming metres, which in turn refines the results of the average swimming speed. The Swimmo sports tester was rated the worst, based on inaccurate measurements of individual quantities and instrument control. In an overall assessment of all devices and their parameters, the Sporttester Polar was the best. Keywords: heart rate, swimming training, Garmin, Polar, Swimmo

Goal of this Bachelor thesis is to check, if there will be any changes of functional and biochemical parameters of the organism for medium and long length track adolescent runners during a 10-day training camp in high altitude around 1850 meters. Runners were subjected to functional laboratory examination both before and after the camp. All requisites were identical for both the control group and the runners who completed this camp. We were examining measured parameters of VO2max, resting heart rate, breath capacity, expiratory minute ventilation, pulse oxygen, respiratory rate, respiratory exchange ratio, heart rate during peak oxygen consumption and maximum watt performance. Most significant watched parameter was VO2max, where we saw an increase of 15,52 % from original 55,40 +- 7,73 ml-min-1-kg-1 to 64,00 +- 9,87 ml-min-1-kg-1 . Another one was resting heart rate, there was a decrease of 5,86 % for the runners after coming back to lowland compared to rates that were measured before the camp. Erythrocytes values increased by 2,38 %, haemoglobin by 2,69 % and haematocrit by 2,27 %. All these results show factual and statistical importance, the only parameter that didn't show any statistical importance was haematocrit. Result of our research confirmed, that 10-day training camp has a major impact on functional and biochemical parameters of the organism.

The aim of this thesis is to analyse the physical strain of a PE teacher at the second stage of the primary education during the PE lessons and within the everyday school life. In the theoretical part of the thesis key concepts pedagogy, pedeutology and a brief history of teaching are explained. Furthermore, the profession of a teacher, their duties, personality traits, role and teaching styles are described, as well as the job-analysis of a PE teacher. The most important part is the description and analysis of the physical strain, stress, noise and workload of a PE teacher and the influence of the physical strain on their heart rate. In the practical part of the thesis we deal with eight days of surveying in which we describe in detail the PE lessons. Afterwards we collect the data obtained by using a sport tester within these 30 PE lessons and its parts and we can find out what the energy output of the PE teacher is. From the data obtained according to general physiology we can put the demandingness of the profession of a PE teacher into the corresponding category of work load.

The impact on health, mental state and quality of life in people after spinal cord injury is enormous. Significant impairment occurs not only of sensorimotor functions. The autonomic nervous system is also disturbed to some extent, which is very closely related to the management of cardiovascular functions (and heart rate). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different physical activities on heart rate in people after spinal cord injury. The study included 30 people in the chronic stage after spinal cord injury, which were divided into 3 groups according to the neurological level of the spinal cord lesion in tetraplegics (lesion C1-C8), paraplegics with high thoracic lesion (T1-T6), and paraplegics with lesion from T6 below. Each proband completed 4 exercise tests on sports simulators (rowing, kayaking and cross-country trainer and Rotren) and peak heart rate values (SFpeak) were measured after reaching the subjective maximum load (according to the Borg RPE scale). The values of SFpeak were then statistically processed, evaluated and compared - within groups between sports simulators and between groups. The results of the statistical processing show that the sports simulators are not different in terms of reaching the top SFpeak. Although differences between peak heart rate values...

When processing the results, we have come to the conclusion that One Skate (V2) is more effective in a moderate climb in all three categories and in the middle climb only for juniors and men. In a steep climb , the Offset (V1) proved to be more effective in all three categories. Keywords: cross-country skiing, skating, load time, heart rate

The aim of this thesis was to measure maximum heart rate (HRmax) of selected group of volunteers using sport testers. The group consisted of 20 adults (10 women and 10 men) in average age 25.4 SD 2.44 years, average height 171.75 SD 7.99 cm, average weight 69.2 SD 11.08 kg and average BMI 23.33 SD 2.59 (kg/m2). All tested persons were subjected to stress tests on treadmill inSPORTline Gallop (Czech Republic), which tested HRmax (1 km long stress test with 4 ° belt inclination, 1 km long stress test with 6 ° belt inclination, the stress test presented by 1 km run and the graded exercise test). During testing, the heart rate of the runners was measured by the elastic chest band and it was displayed on the SIGMA SPORT RC 14.11 device. Probands ran into Vita Maxima - a state of subjective exhaustion. It was found that for a sample of 20 patients, the selection of the stress protocol did not have statistically significant effect on the values of HRmax. During investigation of the relationship between 10 selected prediction equations for calculating the HRmax, they were found out to be 100% interchangeable. It was found out that the HRmax values obtained by performing stress tests on treadmill and HRmax values calculated using predictive equations for calculating the HRmax differ significantly in terms of statistics. The study confirmed the influence of age to be the factor that affects HRmax the most significantly. The influence of the fitness index and sex on HRmax values was not confirmed in this study.

Title: Utilization of animation programs for affecting fitness and weight reduction Objectives: The aim is to determine the effect on the fitness and weight of the individual motion intervention animation programs to a select group of animators, which activities include animation programs during the summer season from June to September and how they are demanding in terms of method, focus, intensity and time. Methods: The main methods are guided interview with animators, observation of animators and course of animation programs, measurements of anthropomethric parameters (weight, height) heart rate and resting heart rate of animators. Results: Animation programs are effective movement programs that meet all kriteria. The programs are versatile, covering all components of fitness. For whole season of four months: 56 hours on flexibility, 88 hours aerobic endurance, 48 hours power capability, 136 hours and 200 hours dexterity more components of condition together. Programs are also long-term, carried out in a time of eight hours per day, six days a week. The intensity of animation programs is the same for the animators whole season. The programs are in the zones of movement for health, weight control, and occasionally in the development zone condition. Requirements for activity of animator are...

Title Comparison of heart rate in the aquatic environment and on land. Purposes The aim is to determine whether the body immersed just below the surface of the water has a significant effect on the change in heart rate compared to heart rate measured on land. Methods This is a quantitative research carried out by comparing of heart rate frequency in 30 probands, which were evaluated using statistical methods. The main output of the values was Student's paired t-test. Location of probands during the measurement was lying on his back. The height of the water column was 26 cm. Results Compare the effect of 26 cm high water column compared to normal atmospheric conditions, operating while lying on the body. Indicator is measured heart rate. We found no significant change in heart rate during measurement in resting heart rate in water, compared to measurement on land, p

Title The energy performance at the growth rate in ski-mountaineering Objectives Measure group skialpinists of different ages and performance of the ski-mountaineering simulator with a gradient 21ř and speed 1,4 km/h to 5,4 km/h with increasing 0,4 km/h in every minute. Determine their energy expenditure in different speeds as the speed increases and with constant slope. Methods Seven ski-mountaineerers of different levels were testing in laboratory of ski-mountaineering simulator. We calculate of maximum oxygen consumption and anaerobic threshold. Results The probands attained average energy expenditure 8,18 kJ per minute at the end of the first minutes and they attained average energy expenditure 29,32 kJ per minute at the end of the 10th minutes. The average energy expenditure of probands increased by 2,35 kJ per minute an average with a standard deviation 0,69 kJ per minute.
