The work refers to the groups of training indicators which determine a sport performance at 35 kilometer walking race. We used an exploration factor analysis to reduce the indicators into the sets of some factors. As we wanted to judge its suitability KMO statistics and Bartlet test of sphericity (BTS) were adopted for the test. We also employed ortogonal rotation Quartimax to minimize the number of the factors.The estimation based on the method of the main components is explained with help of three clusters of training indicators with the variability of 65,38 \%. The cluster of the first set of factors (33,21 \%) was made by indicators of...

Rowing is a fitness-determined sport. Strength especially is an important factor in rowing performance. The aim of this study was twofold. First to determine the level of maximal strength of Czech national team female rowers in three frequently used exercises (squat, deadlift and bench-pull) and secondly to compare female rowers from the national team A with the team B.When compared to the published standards the Czech national team shows an inadequate level of relative strength in squat (1.23 vs. 1.6 kg $\cdot$ kg$^{-1}$ body weight) and especially in bench-pull (0.86 vs. 1.2).The rowers in the A team showed higher standard of relative strength...

The flat serve is characterized by its speed. If it is successfully executed, the serving player can achieve a service winner or an advantage for the following rally. The goal is to find out the relation between the serve toss and the success of the first (flat) serve in tennis. We observed 8 competitive tennis players who served 40 flat serves. They were videotaped on a high-speed camera (200 Hz) from the side view. On the basis of 2D kinematic analysis, we evaluated the racket-ball impact during 1) successful serves 2) serves into the net 3) serves fault–long 4) serves fault–wide. Successful serves were hit by players at a mean distance...

This paper thematically builds on two already published articles devoted to the beginnings ofclassical hiking, cycling and water tourism 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 19thcentury in this natural center of southern Bohemia, the region extremely rich in natural beauty,historical monuments and other popular tourist destinations. Forms of tourism related to technicalmeans of transport have in the course...
