The aim of this study is to identify differences between correlates of physical activity (PA) of Czech population with high and low PA level using the method of Formal Concept Analysis. Further aim is to verify reliability of results of two equivalent forms of Czech self-administered format of IPAQ questionnaire applied in randomized sample of Czech population between years 2003-2006. As a significant differences between correlates of high and low PA level population were accepted results higher than mutual variability of the same variable in equivalent forms of used IPAQ questionnaire. Females and males with high PA level participated in an organized...

The role of deep stabilizing spinal system in low back pain

Despite the ever ongoing development in the examination procedures, it is still impossible to exactly diagnose a large percentage of patients with dorsal pains. This is due to an insufficiently clear connection between symptoms, pathological changes and results from the imaging techniques. Besides a morphological and neurological examination, a grave diagnostic attention should here be given to a possible muscular dysfunction. A simple electromechanical device called muscle dynamometer (MD01) has been constructed for the purpose of enabling to effortlessly, objectively and precisely examine the muscle power-output in the lumbar spine area and reveal...

Temperament characteristics and of the performance motivation the competitors in canoe slalom

M. Bílý, V. Süss

Studia Kinanthropologica 2007, 8(1):23-28 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2007.016  

The goal of this article is to show temperament characteristics and the character of the motivation of the top competitors in canoe slalom. Monitored group was created by members of the National canoe slalom team 2004/3 women, 12 men/. Temperament characteristic were monitored by Eysenck's temperament questionnaire (personality factors) and by questionnaire of the performance motivation. Knowledge and respecting of the temperament and performance motivation of athlete should be the automatic part of training process. The results indicates that for achievement of the top result in canoe slalom is at present dominants type phlegmatic with low score of...

Anaerobic threshold and VO₂max of elite athletes in dependence

Studia Kinanthropologica 2007, 8(1):29-35 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2007.017  

Anaerobic threshold (AT) and VO₂ max are the most determining factors in sport training, because sport results on endurance events depends on anaerobic threshold and VO₂ max. Anaerobic threshold and VO₂ max are boundary value for zest to endurance in sport, when AT is maximal boundary value for endurance training and VO₂ max determining utility of oxygen in training. Interdependency of anaerobic threshold and VO₂max is 80-100%, when VO₂ max reach 80 - 100% of maximum pending anaerobic threshold. But this is individual number for everybody, so coach must allow for this fact on training....

The efficiency of training load on athletics performance in longer-range preparation for the wAlkers on 20 km

J. Broďáni, M. Pupiš

Studia Kinanthropologica 2007, 8(1):37-41 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2007.018  

The authors of the article deals with the efficiency of training load on changes of sport performance in pre-olympic preparation of walker in 20 km distance. It came from intraindividual analysis of time rows during five year periods. The general training load seems to be the most important part of sport performance in time of the highest realisation of aerobic means. The need of cyclical planing of speed and endurance load was confirmed. We also recommend to increase the number of kilometres trained by walk in mixed and anaerobic zone because of low influence of special endurance which is very close to competition performance. An important influence...

Physical motion as a dominant aspect of education in pre-school facilities

M. Kalinková

Studia Kinanthropologica 2007, 8(1):45-47 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2007.019  

The aim of this contribution is to pinpoint the necessity of using physical activities during the day regime of pre-school children in kindergartens. According to the fact that physical motions are the basic skills of children, physical education as such in general should be the significant part of education of children in all aspects. The authors of this article offer the readers theoretic view on this problem.
