Statistical investigation of physical readiness selected parametrs of professional firefighters within HZS South Bohemia CPS České Budějovice and HZSp JE Temelín

Physical readiness is an integral part of the requirements for the firefighter profession. Getting acquainted with the selected organization of units and mapping their physical training led to an understanding of the problem. Logical methods of applied quantitative research were used to obtain information. A factor (strength part of physical tests) was determined to compare the physical readiness of selected organizations. Using the application of empirical research methods, the parameterization of the selected factor was performed and the first research goal was met. Research hypotheses were positively verified by methods of investigating the obtained data: H1: Selected parameters of strength physical readiness should have an empirical distribution close to the normal distribution (normality was verified by nonparametric testing). H2: Comparison of the parameters of the strength part of physical tests of selected organizations should lead to the acceptance of the null hypothesis at the selected level of statistical significance (no statistically significant differences in the physical readiness of selected organizations were found at the selected level a= 0.05). By verifying the operationalized hypotheses H1, H2, the second goal of the work was fulfilled, the comparison of physical readiness between individual organizations. The verification of hypotheses was supported by the theory of estimates of theoretical parameters of the normal distribution and regression and correlation analysis of measured data with two dimensions of the strength part of physical tests (lying-seats, cranks). The theoretical benefits of the diploma thesis can be considered the proposed and implemented structuring of the theoretical part - a description of the organization of selected units, a description of physical training legislation, new trends in physical training, physical training abroad. The practical benefit of the diploma thesis is to document the chosen structuring of the theoretical part by selecting a suitable comparative factor - the strength component of physical tests. The applied quantitative research could have research connections - to document the chosen structuring of the theoretical part by other parameters of physical readiness and special physical training of professional firefighters
