The main objective of the study aimed at the literature search was to find out what they are in specialist publications in our country and abroad requirements for tracking players in selected sports games (basketball, futsal, handball, tennis, volleyball, hockey), who play in sports halls. We focused on the speed of players and specific movements during matches and training. Partial aims to find out what the speed category enjoy various sports games and generate one of the most used and what specific movements are tracked in the different sports games in analyzing matches and training sessions. The main research method was analysis of the literature....

The main objective of the study was the analysis of the external (covered distance) and internal loads (heart rate) of the handball players in the small sided games (SSG) with different numbers of players and with the "floater player" on the field. A partial aim of the study was to find out what the differences are loads of players between the small sided games with different numbers of players on the playing area. Thirteen players from an elite women's handball team from the Czech Republic participated in this study (22,8 ± 4,5 years, 170,4 ± 6,4 cm, 67,7 ± 9,2 kg). Players were the highest heart rate of 179,2 ± 9,7 (90,1...

Financial demands of sports in sport clubs - Radotín and Zbraslav

L. Flemr, L. Vodičková

Studia Kinanthropologica 2016, 17(2):95-103 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2016.062  

The aim of this paper is to map the financial demands of sport in sports clubs from the suburbs of the capital city of Prague - Radotín and Zbraslav. The subjects of this research were children, youth (under 18 years of age) and adults. The study was undertaken with the help of the department of the local municipality council, the websites of the sports clubs and primarily through semi-structured interviews with sports clubs leaders. Tennis (Radotín) and ice-hockey (Zbraslav) were found to be the most financially demanding sports. Direct costs are between 18-20 thousand CZK per year. On the other hand among low cost sports were identified pétanque...

Confirmatory Factor Analysis the BOT-2 (Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Second Edition) for the age group 4 - 7 years

Studia Kinanthropologica 2016, 17(2):105-111 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2016.063  

The main aim of the study was to determine the suitability of diagnostic tools Bruininks-Oseretzky Test of Motor Proficiency Second Edition (BOT-2) using confirmatory factor analysis in children aged 4-7 years in the Czech Republic. The research group consisted of 88 probands aged 4-7 years. The group was made up of children from two primary schools and two kindergartens in Prague. The selectiom was held with the help of quota selection. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis BOT-2 in children in the Czech Republic were compared with the results of original artwork by Bruininks (2005). The monitored parameters were resulting index values phosphite:...

The aim of this study was investigate the relationship between ball velocity after spike and anthropometrics and muscle power characteristics. Anthropometrics characteristics measured in this study was age, body weight, body high. Ball velocity after spike was measured with Bushnell radar gun. Power in bench press was measured with FiTROdyne Premium. Power in the concentric phase of contraction of the preferred half of trunk was measured by FiTRO Torso dyne. Vertical jump measuring device was used to measure high of the jump after 3 step run-up. Eleven elite female players of age 17,39 ± 2,21, with mean sports experience 6,55 ± 2,02 volunteers...

Tennis is a very nice sport, which can be played on different performance levels. Optimal tennis technique requires the activation of the whole body. While the dominant upper extremity plays a crucial role, the correct tennis shot should also be based on adequate activities of other body parts, e.g. non-hitting upper extremity, legs, body core, etc. We focus on comparison of the trunk (core) activity in three players of different tennis quality. Three-dimensional kinematic analysis with the help of Simi Motion software has been used and we achieved precise kinematic parameters of 13 body segments and tennis racket. However, the most important in this...

The use of GPS devices to monitor physical activity - potential and limits

Physical activity (PA) is one of the factors that positively affect health. Recent studies confirm that the type of the built environment can influence the physical activity behaviour. This relationship can be examined by a variety of methods (questionnaires, pedometers and accelerometers). At present, use of geographic information systems (GIS) and satellite positioning systems such as the global positioning system (GPS) appears to be very appropriate. Using GPS devices can locate PA in space and time. This information can help us understand the issue of active lifestyle. The main objective of this study is to clarify the use of GPS technology for...
