BACKGROUND: Results of national physical fitness survey of Czechoslovak population were published in 1976. The survey was part of International Biological Program IBP. The results are used as standards for evaluating fitness level and cardio-respiratory capacity of subjects till now. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess to what level the fitness data of recent non-sporting population differ from those, adopted like standards for Czechoslovak population 40 years ago. METHODS: Data base of all examinations performed in the period 1994 to 2015 was used for this study. Data were collected from 2777 protocols (2015 men and 762 women). Besides...

Among the notable figures respected for great versatility in the life of 20th-century České Budějovice, one can hardly overlook Václav Piloušek. Consistently successful in affecting the town's political as well as social and cultural, and especially its sports life, his activities often extended beyond the regional bounds and after the war it is not surprising to come across his name in the renewed Czech radio journalism, in particular related to Czech ice-hockey. In relative obscurity then remains Piloušek's resistance engagement during World War II when he unflaggingly supported Czech patriotic initiatives and so his share in the formation of the...
Motor Docility a Key Concept in Creating a Knowledge Domain
R. Peřinová
Studia Kinanthropologica 2019, 20(1):89-94 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2019.039
The article presents fundamental research that contributes to a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of motor docility. It is defined as movement learnability, the ability to learn new motor skills. Although the term "motor docility" is used in kinanthropology, its theoretical concept is not yet well defined. Building a knowledge area through a concept map will allow the creation of a structured theoretical framework, a scientific theory. It will then be possible to describe, explain and predict the phenomenon of motor docility. We are convinced that the validity of currently used motor docility tests will continue to be low until the theory improves,...
