Evaluation of assumptions and performance in triathlon (case study)

Title: Evaluation of assumptions and performance in triathlon (case study) Objectives: The thesis aims at evaluating long-term training process of a top triathlete, a junior triathlon representative of the Czech Republic from 2009 to 2011. The principle objective of the thesis is the evaluation of the achieved results and of long-term development from the training point of view. Methods: We have used qualitative and quantitative methods in our thesis. Both general and specific training indicators have been processed graphically in the Excel program. Performance and prerequisites for triathlon have been evaluated by means of radial diagram. The analysis of training diaries has lead us to searching for links between training, social background and the state of health of the triathlete and to finding out how these factors have influenced her three-year sport period. Results: We have determined the regular rise of the training capacity every year. The SCM tests have discovered both strong and weak points of the triathlete. The research has ascertained that the necessary training conditions have led to the sporting growth of the individual. Keywords: diagnostics, general indicators, specific indicators, ray char
