RNDr. Jiří Zháněl, Dr. Rok obhajoby diplomové práce: 2014 Abstrakt: Cílem diplomové práce byla analýza herních charakteristik dvou finálových zápasů juniorek do 14 let při mistrovství světa (WJTF) 2012 konaného v Prostějově a jejich následné vyhodnocení a porovnání. Smyslem bylo zjistit, které charakteristiky nejvíce ovlivňují výsledky zápasů. Utkání jsme analyzovali dle předem zvolené metodiky. Analýza byla provedena na základě sledování videozáznamu obou finálových utkání. Sledované ukazatele jsou lépe patrné z uceleného přehledu tabulek, které tato práce nabízí. Výsledky analýz ukazují na přednosti a nedostatky hráček a jsou důležitým ukazatelem pro další rozvoj jejich výkonu. Bylo prokázáno, že nejvýznamnějšími herními charakteristikami jsou místa dopadu míčů při hře od základní čáry, returnů a volejů, dále místa úderů během každého bodu, chyby do sítě, chyby do strany a chyby za základní čárou, dále počet úderů během jednoho bodu, přímé body každého hráče, vynucené a nevynucené chyby, body průběžně získané u obou hráčů, úspěšnost prvních a druhých podání a měření délky výměn. Klíčová slova: analýza, herní charakteristika, hráčka, komparace, sportovní výkon, tenis Souhlasím s půjčováním diplomové práce v rámci knihovních služeb. 1 Author´s first name and Suriname: Zuzana Hejdová Title of the master´s thesis: An Analysis of Game Characteristics of Under 14 Girl´s Matches at the World Juniors Tennis Finals (WJTF) 2012 Departement: Departement of Recreology Supervisor: Doc.RNDr. Jiří Zháněl, Dr. The Year of presentation: 2014 Abstract: The aim of this work was to analyze the game characteristics of juniors under 14 years, who participated in the two final junior tennis matches at the 2012 World Junior Tennis Championship in Prostějov and their following evaluation and comparison.
