One of the main playing activities of an individual that depends on the success or failure of a team is setting. The setting is characterised by the action as the beating of a ball after a pass to the attacker. One of the main muscle groups that are important to beachvolleyball players is hamstrings. Hamstrings help with lower leg flexion in the knee and help with lower leg extension in the hip joint. The study aims to assess hamstring activity in selected gaming activity. We assume that the involvement of the right and left sides in the setting at the bottom and in the setting at the top will be the same.The main method used for data collection...

The main goal of this article is the retrospective analysis of the Czech participation at six selected Czech cross-country marathons in classic technique in the period 2014-2023. The aim of the study was to find out, how the participation of these races has developed.We concluded that it is not possible to clearly state how participation is developing, due to the cancellation of some races. The results of our analysis show that participation of men is clearly higher than participation of women. The category with the largest number of participants is under the age of 49. Total participation in six selected races has not developed in parallel.

This study focuses on the history of tourism in the Bohemian Forest (Šumava) and its Foothills, which constitute the largest mountain range in the Czech Republic. In terms of time, it covers a relatively long period from the 1880s to the occupation of the Czechoslovak borderlands in the autumn of 1938. In most parts of this region, until the end of World War II, the German population predominated. Nevertheless, there was no significant German-specific tourist association established here. After the formation of Czechoslovakia in 1918, there was a significant influence from the Czechoslovak Tourist Club. This message focuses on organized and spontaneous...
