            The University Research Centers (UNCE) competition is aimed primarily at supporting young 
            academics and researchers in the framework of the highest quality group basic research. UN
            support enables the development and deepening of scientific research activities of those c

            University Centre for human motor development and influence of motivation to physical

            activitiesCoordinator: Martin Musálek
            For several decades, research studies have explored the effectiveness of physical activity
            for children, usually last 6-24 weeks, to reduce obesity, improve physical activity levels

            and cognitive functions, and decrease sports dropout rates among adolescents. However, a s
            challenge persists in that these interventions fail to produce long-lasting changes in phy
            Furthermore, the mechanism that promotes increased adherence to physical activities, known

            literacy, remains unidentified even though physical literacy is a critical factor in influ
            physical habits and constitutes a fundamental aspect of human well-being. The UNCE project
            adherence mechanisms in children and adolescents to adulthood (age 6-24) through a compreh

            term study involving general and sports populations. The theoretical framework employed to
            these mechanisms and develop physical activity programs that facilitate the desired adhere
            familial, educational, and peer contexts will draw upon Stodden's structural model, the co

            determination, autonomous motivation, and Newell's theory.

            University Centre of Excellence Research in Elite Sport PerformanceCoordinator: František 
            The center is focused on the area of elite sport performance in reflection of complementar
            for motor learning, motor control, and in the field of sport sciences. The benefits origin

            sport science (research, practice, implementation) leading to improvement of sport perform

            performance, has a multidimensional meaning and its identification requires a quantitative

            multidisciplinary approach. The centre has demonstrated competence (scientific and clinica
