Abstract
The Relationship between Anaerobic Power Output and Race Performance during Marathon Canoe and Kayak Competition
Highlights
Marathon paddle competitions are low impact, aerobic endeavors that range in distance depending upon venue and may include obstacles which the competitors must navigate and/or sections of portage [1]
Results revealed that anaerobic power for both left and right-side canoe strokes and kayak strokes was significantly correlated to endurance paddle race performance
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of anaerobic power output to endurance paddle race performance
Summary
Marathon paddle competitions are low impact, aerobic endeavors that range in distance depending upon venue and may include obstacles which the competitors must navigate and/or sections of portage [1]. The sport requires significant technical ability, including water knowledge, navigation skills, and a powerful and efficient paddling technique [4]. Anthropometric, morphological, and physiological characteristics of paddle sport athletes have been described with many of these characteristics demonstrating relationships with race performance outcomes [7]. One such variable of interest is anaerobic power output. Significant correlations of power output and race performance have been demonstrated for 1000 m outrigger canoeing [9] and various sprint distance flat-water kayaking [10,11], the relationship of anaerobic power and endurance paddle race performance has yet to be reported. The authors hypothesized that anaerobic power would be significantly correlated with endurance paddle race performance
