The present study examines the development of performance in the men’s decathlon from 1955 to the present (2019). Using a time-series analysis, we explored the historical development of performance in the men’s decathlon in the Czech Republic. The set under study included the top 10 decathlon performances in each year. Yearbooks of the Czech Association of Athletics (ČAS) and the Czech National Sports Council (ČSTV) were used as data sources. The performances were evaluated according to the internationally recognized scoring tables for decathlon events. For comparison, all performances from 1955 were recalculated on the basis of the latest...

The aim of our study was to verify the relationship between the amount of muscle mass (MM), the rebound force (one-leg jump) and the speed of power output (1s power in the Wingate test), all measured on each leg separately. The study participants were players in the highest national youth football competition (n = 69, age = 16.0 ± 1.2 years, height = 178.8 ± 6.4 cm, weight = 70.8 ± 8.7 kg). The amount of MM was measured on the lower legs (LL), the height of reflection of the one-foot on the reflecting board and the one-second maximum power in the 30s Wingate test (WAnT). Dependency was sought through correlation analysis (p < 0.05)....

Lack of physical activity is a negative trend in modern society and manifests itself in all age groups. One of the reasons for this condition is the preference for passive leisure activities. Passive activities with a screen (mobile phone, television, computer etc.) are very popular in the youth group. This research aimed to compare the preference for leisure activities among a group of active and inactive high school students (15-16 years, n = 315). Weekly monitoring of walking using wearable electronics was used to analyze the inactivity of the respondents. A student was marked as inactive if the set number of steps per day was not reached (11,000...

The aim of the work was to find out what is the relationship between individual disciplines and the overall performance in triathlon. For the analysis, we used the results of three top events for each variant of triathlon for the years 2019 to 2021. The analyzed consisted of athletes in the elite category. We analyzed the sprint triathlon, the Olympic triathlon, the long triathlon and the off-road triathlon. We used Spearman's correlation coefficient to verify the relationships between the individual variables. Results: For all monitored triathlons, we observed statistically significant relationships (p < 0,05) for running, with the most significant...

It is indisputable that provincial periodicals perform a pivotal role in all spheres of local life because they, unlike national papers, make a seminal contribution to the local people’s identification with their region and its particular segments. The inexemptible task of local papers and magazines is to encourage the population’s getting involved in regional affairs and bolster their integration into diverse activities, including sports pursuits. From this perspective we often cannot make a full appraisal of the informational, political and social function of local media which frequently remain beyond the intellectual curiosity of pundits....

This paper thematically builds on an already published article devoted to the beginnings of classical hiking in the same period and practically in the same territory. Its content only underlines the wide range of physical activities related to the natural environment, which the inhabitants of České Budějovice gradually began to practice from the end of the 19th century. In this natural center of southern Bohemia, which is extremely rich not only in natural beauty but also in historical monuments and other popular tourist destinations, not only classic hiking was developed but also its forms related to technical means of transport. In the area of České...
