Předběžná náplň práce

Tato dizertační práce zkoumá strategie pro zvýšení výkonu rychlobruslení tím, že se zabývá mezerami v požadavcích na trénink, metodologiích hodnocení a postaktivačním zvyšování výkonu (PAPE). Prostřednictvím tří po sobě jdoucích studií zkoumá fyziologické a biomechanické požadavky sportu, hodnotí praktické hodnocení výkonu a zkoumá konzistenci individualizovaných protokolů PAPE.

Předběžná náplň práce v anglickém jazyce

This dissertation investigates strategies to enhance speed skating performance by addressing gaps in training demands, assessment methodologies, and postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE). Through three sequential studies, it explores the physiological and biomechanical demands of the sport, evaluates practical performance assessments, and examines the consistency of individualized PAPE protocols.
