A systematic review of research on outrigger canoe paddling and racing

2016

Purpose: Research on outrigger canoe paddling performance is in its infancy and only began in the late 1990s. This paper systematically identified and reviewed previously published peer-reviewed articles and theses, and summarized the findings with the aim of defining the current state of knowledge on the sport. Method: Using a systematic review, searches were conducted on PubMed MEDLINE, Academic Search Premier, Cochrane Library databases and Google Scholar for articles published up to June 2014. A standard systematic review process was applied to sift abstracts and full texts to obtain and extract data on study characteristics, measurements and recommendations. Results: Twenty-seven articles by eleven lead authors were identified. There was fairly close consensus on anthropometrics, peak physiological measurements, stroke variables, injury prevalence and paddle design. Most non-injury studies relied on small data sets and had limited statistical power. Conclusions: The results ide...

Sports injury profile of competitive Waka Ama (outrigger canoe) paddlers in New Zealand

Sports injury profile of competitive Waka Ama (outrigger canoe) paddlers in New Zealand. AbstrAct Using a self-reported retrospective cohort analysis the purpose of this research was to describe the type, frequency, severity, causative mechanisms, and exposure risk of injuries amongst competitive Waka Ama paddlers in New Zealand. An injury surveillance questionnaire of Waka Ama injuries and exposure was conducted using face to face interviews and a Web site–based interactive survey. Completed surveys were obtained from 240 individuals reporting 132 injuries amongst 101 athletes; 42% of those surveyed had sustained 1 or more injuries while participating in Waka Ama in the previous 12 months. The majority (79%, n=80) of the injured athletes sustained only 1 injury with the overall risk of injury being 1.82 per 1000 hours of exposure. Sprains/strains accounted for 62% of all injuries and the majority (35%) of recorded injuries were to the shoulder. Largely the injuries were not serious...

Largely the injuries were not serious with 20% classified as slight, and there were no permanent disabilities or career ending...

Physical Fitness Levels Among 200, 500 and 1000 Meter Canoeing Players: A Comparative Study

European Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science, 2018

The purpose of this study was to compare Physical Fitness levels among 200, 500 and 1000 Meter Canoeing Players. To obtain data, the investigators had selected Twenty one (N = 21) male Canoeing Player of 19 to 25 years (Mean ± SD: Age: 19.761 ± 2.488 years; Body Mass: 1.749 ± 7.046 kilograms; Body Height: 65.047 ± 9.286 meters) of age to act as subjects. Components of Physical fitness (i.e., Agility, Balance, Coordination, Power, Reaction Time and Speed) were taken up for the present study. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for Windows version 16.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). Data is expressed as the mean ± SD. One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to find out the intra-group differences. To test the hypothesis, the level of significance was set at 0.05. No significant differences were found in Agility, Balance, Coordination, Power and Speed. However, significant differences were found in Reaction Time. Articl...

A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Skill Related Physical Fitness Components of Kayaking and Rowing Players

European Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science, 2017

The present study was focused to contrast the level of Skill-Related Physical Fitness components of Kayaking and Rowing players. For this purpose, eighteen (N=18), male college level Kayaking and Rowing players of age group 18-25 years participated in the study. All the subjects, after having been informed about the objective and protocol of the study, gave their consent and volunteered to participate in this study. They were divided into two groups: Group-A: n 1 =9 kayaking players and Group-B: n 2 =9 rowing players. It is to measure the skill related physical fitness (agility, balance, coordination, power and speed) male inter- college kayaking and rowing players. To determine the significant differences between kayaking and rowing, unpaired t-test was employed for data analyses. It is concluded from the above analysis the study can be concluded that no significant difference were found among Kayaking and Rowing players on the sub- variables; Agility, Balance, Coordination and P...

Improvement of the physical preparedness of canoe oarsmen by applying different modes of training loads

Journal of physical education and sport, 2017

IntroductionSports results of winners and prizewinners of Olympics Games, Winter Olympic Games, world championships and other competitions have been steadily increasing (Guo, 2007; Briskin., 2014, 2015, 2016; Imas, 2017). Analysis of competition protocols confirms this tendency, particularly in rowing and canoeing. One of the reasons of this phenomenon is improvement of physical training process in all phases of athletes' preparation during many years (Bohuslavska, 2014).Regardless of stage of a multi-year athletes training, the training process should be forwarded to optimizing specific adaptive restructuring of the body, which is caused by nature of physical exercise. At the stage of preliminary basic preparation of rowers, their age coincides with pubertate period of human ontogenesis and is characterized by cumulative (biochemical, morphological and functional) changes in body, associated not only with physical activities, but also with intensive age (physiological) changes ...
