Sportovní analytika a její využití v prostředí Českého veslařského svazu

The main objective of this bachelor’s thesis is to analyse the possibilities of using sports analytics in rowing and to propose a practical approach to processing and evaluating selected sports data within the environment of the Czech Rowing Association. To achieve this main objective, several partial objectives are defined. The first part focuses on defining the concept of sports analytics, characterising rowing data, and describing its potential use in both elite and club-level rowing. Another partial objective is to describe the data infrastructure of the Czech Rowing Association, particularly the Yarmill training diary, and to evaluate its use for collecting, recording, and analysing sports data. The practical part of the thesis focuses on unifying historical results of 2,000-metre rowing ergometer tests, designing a data model, and subsequently analysing the performance development of rowers over time. The overall output of the bachelor’s thesis is a theoretical evaluation of the possibilities of sports analytics in rowing, a proposal for a structured data model, and a practical demonstration of how data can be used to evaluate athletes’ performance, support coaches’ decision-making, and contribute to the further development of the analytical environment of the Czech Rowing Association.
