The purpose of this thesis is to present and describe all types of strength as a movement ability. The main focus of this work is on improving and raising maximum strength with the case study on a professional judo athlete. Strength as a fundamental movement ability and maximum strength as its kind strongly effect and influence on athletes individual's performance and success. With top athletes, all movement skills are developed at a very high level, determined by the plateau. Unlike other movement skills, training of maximum strength, and consequently, training of general strength improve the success of specific training and competitive environments.
As mentioned, the core of this thesis focuses on the development of maximum strength, which is well described and presented. Before starting maximum strength training, the proper technical implementation and correct execution of exercises are required as well as an adequate warm-up. This type of training involves arousal in both the muscular and nervous system, which means that the training is very energy-demanding, despite the small number of repetitions. Because this training is about overcoming heavy loads it is essential to assist appropriately and to establish trust between the assistant and the athlete performing the maximal movement.
In addition to the general facts about maximum strength training an essential part of this thesis, that adds additional value, is the implementation of development and elevation of the latter on an example of a professional judo athlete. The thesis is also presenting the entire training program and application of maximum strength training into an already packed cyclisation program. Between two cycles of maximum strength we did three tests of main weight. The second and final test indicates a high increase in the one-repetition maximum testing. The training program consisted of five exercises using free weights. The exercises performed were: squats in which maximum strength improved by 9.5 %, deadlift by 17.2 %, bench push by 14.4 %, bench pul by 18.7 % and clean pull improved by 14.4 % in reference to the first test. Their implementations are visually shown in the thesis.
