Dále popisuje aspekty řízení tohoto tréninkového procesu a na základ ě vlastního výzkumu pak ur čuje, jaký vliv má aplikovaný tréninkový proces na zm ěny ve stavu trénovanosti a výkonnosti. Dochází také k posouzení vlivu specifických a intenzifika čních tréninkových metod. Ve výzkumu diplomové práce jsme použili r ůzné metody testování. Provád ěli jsme funk ční testy, antropometrická m ěř ení a biochemické testy. Na základ ě t ěchto test ů jsme zkoumali vliv tréninkových program ů na výkonnost v kulturistice. Zjistili jsme, že použití specifických a intenzifika čních metod má podstatný vliv na výkonnost v kulturistice. Také jsme zjistili, že efektivní řízení tréninkového procesu má celkov ě pozitivní vliv na stav výkonnosti ve sportovní kulturistice.

Úvod U mnohých lidí má kulturistika, bohužel, stále pejorativní p řízvuk, protože ješt ě p řed několika lety byla prezentována jako cirkusová vystoupení narcistických, do sebe zahled ěných jedinc ů, která nemají nic spole čného se sportem, natož se zdravím. Také díky mediím p řetrvává dodnes zkreslený pohled na kulturistický sport. Avšak lidé všeobecného rozhledu a vzd ělání v ědí či tuší, že za významem slova kulturistika se skrývá pojem vycházející z latiny znamenající kulturu t ěla. Tedy pojem na výsost chvályhodný bez jakéhokoliv hanlivého p řízvuku. Zd ůrazn ěno je tady krom ě funk čnosti také estetické hledisko, které zde nabývá priority. Jako trenér kulturistiky a člov ěk, který se tomuto sportu již řadu let v ěnuje, jsem tuto práci napsal ve snaze podat objektivní informace o kulturistice, charakterizovat ji jako sportovní odv ětví, popsat řízení tréninkového procesu v kulturistice se všemi jeho specifiky a také poukázat na možné zdravotní d ůsledky p ři dlouhodobém vykonávání tohoto sportu. A to jak d ůsledky pozitivní, tak negativní.

  • George Jowett, Ottley Coutler, David Willoughby and the Organization of American Weightlifting, 1911-1924
    George Jowett, Ottley Coutler, David Willoughby and the Organization of American Weightlifting, 1911-1924 by John D. Fair I do not hesitate to say that the beginning was a very hard struggle, and that there were times when the outlook was dark, owing to the antagonism and disinterest evinced from certain quarters where such conditions should never have arisen. The present success is all due to the fact that my brother officials in the cause stuck to their guns and never quit, and I hope that our many members will never forget their efforts and the way that they helped myself make this organization what it is now, a power for good.(1) —George F. Jowett, 1925 In the early 1920s a new era was dawning in American athletics.“Free from Europe’s struggle to recover from the effects of war,” writes a leading sport historian, “Americans enjoyed a golden age of sport.”(2) Although those observations apply chiefly to such major spectator sports as baseball and football, weightlifting was undergoing a metamorphosis from the strongmanism of an earlier era to a more regulated and respectable status. At least since the turn of the century, American strongmen, imitating their old world counterparts, flaunted their might and muscle, often with considerable artifice, before unsuspecting audiences at circuses, sideshows, vaudeville performances, and other public displays. There were also some amateur weightlifting contests and – since the days when Richard Kyle Fox’s Police Gazette made offers of medals, trophies, money, and a diamond-studded belt – frequent challenges between professionals. Ultimately at stake was the coveted title of “World’s Strongest Man.” But there was no reliable means to verify performances of American strength athletes, many of whom avoided actual competition and made exaggerated claims in order to promote the sale of physical development courses.

  • 2010Year-In-Review
    Mission The USAWA was formed to continue the long standing tradition of old-time weightlifters like Eugen Sandow, Louis Cyr, Arthur Saxon, Hermann Goerner, Warren Lincoln Travis, and many others. We strive to preserve the history of the original forms of weightlifting, which in the past has been referred to as ―odd lifting‖. Many of the lifts we perform are based on stage acts or challenge lifts of old-time strongmen. History The USAWA was organized in 1987 and was a charter member of the International All-Round Weightlifting Association. The USAWA has over 150 recognized lifts and 8000 plus records, so any strength athlete can find their niche. We have a drug testing program to encourage drug free lifting. Numerous local meets and a National competition are held each year to find true ―all-round‖ weightlifters.
