Comparison and correlation of performances in the testing of running speed and lower limb explosive power of football players in the course of one week / Pavol Pivovarniček ... [et al.]. -- The thesis presents running speed and lower limb explosive power and their performance values during one week in the micro cycle of the preparatory period of young football players from the biorhythmic point of view. The author found out that the best performances in terms of running speed had been achieved by players on Tuesday and the worst performances on Thursday. The best performances in terms of lower limb explosive power had been achieved on Tuesday and Wednesday and the worst performances in terms of both kinetic abilities had been achieved on Thursday. By means of comparison, the author found out similarity in the performances in terms of running speed and lower limb explosive power from the point of view of biorhythms. He found out the connection between the performances by means of correlation analysis in the tests of kinetic abilities. The obtained results can help to better apply fitness training in the training process.
