MUNI Sport Labs
The primary research interests in our laboratories are to determine the limits of the acute responses and chronic adaptations to exercise. The equipment in the labs allow for the investigation of a variety of physiological systems and fitness parameters. We can evaluate a person’s cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic responses to physical activity as well as assess an individual’s balance, flexibility, and power. The overall aims of our focus are to investigate determinants of sports performance at elite and recreational level and health effects of exercise on human body.

GGP - Generations and Gender Program
GGP is a distributed social science research infrastructure, locally known as the “Contemporary Czech Family” project. It collects, processes, archives, and disseminates data about people’s life courses, parents and children, partners, intergenerational relations, opinions about family, and personal plans. It offers comparisons to families in other countries. It maintains a database for social sciences as well as policy evaluation across Europe and beyond.
