Summary/Abstract: The objective of the present thesis is to examine the effect of the seven-day training camp in the altitude of 1,880 meters above sea level on functional and biochemical changes of the organism of young sportspersons. The thesis is a pilot study. The research was conducted on n = 6 (including 2 girls), age = 17,33 ± 2,36, all of them belonging to the youth sports elite within the Czech Republic. We have observed the dynamics of changes of morning resting heart rate, selected parameters of blood count (amount of erythrocytes, haemoglobin and haematocrites) and level of the anaerobic threshold. The measurements were performed 2 days prior departure, 2 days after return and 10 days after return from the higher above-sea-level altitude. The morning resting heart rate was measured by the probands during the course of 17 days before the camp and during the course of 14 days after returning from the camp.
