  • Complements to the Base Technique in Sprint Kayak; Methods of Evaluation
    1 2 Complements to the Base Technique in Sprint Kayak; Methods of Evaluation Summary The following is a study on the methods of evaluation of complementary elements of Base Technique. These are: 1. Meta-Technique – which represents the athlete’s primary objective and is closely related to the hydrodynamic characteristics and the statistical necessities of energy exchange; and 2. Micro-Technique – which relates to the specifics of force application with a view to achieving the desired objectives, using Base Technique as required. We will also be examining the physical principles relating to the various evaluations, as well as providing the formulae and showing the methods of video-analysis employed. With regards to the athletes’ Meta- and Micro-Techniques, we shall evaluate some of the elements identified in the video clips. An athlete with flawless technique will produce physical phenomena that leave predictable and consistent traces, which in turn represent the optimal point of reference. It is not a coincidence that these traces and phenomena correspond to the principles of propulsion of naval hydrodynamics. On the other hand, an athlete whose technique is imperfect will produce physical phenomena that leave chaotic traces, which are never similar to those we expect to see in optimal cases. We will also devote our attention to analysing races using GPS data for speed and frequency provided by the ICF (International Canoe Federation) and by the FISA (Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d’Aviron) for international races. It is possible to obtain a great quantity of information using said data: we can analyse information relating to quality, as well as indicating the fundamental ‘methods’ or ‘modes’.

    COACHES EDUCATION PROGRAMME CANOE SPRINT COACHING MANUAL LEVEL 2 and 3 Csaba Szanto 1 REFERENCES OF OTHER EXPERTS The presented Education Program has been reviewed with regards the content, methodic approach, description and general design. In accordance with above mentioned criteria the program completely corresponds to world wide standard and meet expectations of practice. Several suggestions concerned the illustrations and technical details were transmitted to the author. CONCLUSION: The reviewed program is recommended for sharing among canoe- kayak coaches of appropriate level of competence and is worthy for approval. Reviewer: Prof. Vladimir Issurin, Ph.D. Wingate Institute for Physical Education and Sport, Netanya, Israel Csaba Szanto's work is a great book that discusses every little detail, covering the basic knowledge of kayaking canoeing science. The book provides a wide range of information for understanding, implement and teaching of our sport. This book is mastery in compliance with national and international level education, a great help for teachers and coaches fill the gap which has long been waiting for. Zoltan Bako Master Coach, Canoe-kayak Teacher at ICF Coaching Course Level 3 at the Semmelweis University, Budapest Hungary FOREWORD Csaba Szanto has obtained unique experience in the field of canoeing. Probably there is no other specialist in the canoe sport, who has served and worked in so many places and so many different functions. Csaba coached Olympic champions, but he has been successful with beginners as well. He contributed to the development of the canoe sport in many countries throughout the world. Csaba Szanto wrote this book using the in depth knowledge he has of the sport.

  • I the Biomechanics of Dragon Boat Paddling by Joseph Alexander Gomory a Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for T
    The Biomechanics of Dragon Boat Paddling By Joseph Alexander Gomory A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Principal Supervisor: Dr Kevin Ball Associate Supervisor: Dr Simon Taylor College of Sport & Exercise Science Institute for Health and Sport Victoria University 2018 i Abstract In dragon boat racing, boat speed is generated by paddle propulsion produced by human movement. However at the fundamental level it is the interaction of the paddle with water that produces the forces generating boat speed. Literature on the biomechanics of paddle propulsion is sparse and is concerned predominantly with human movement and not with the fundamentals of paddling. This thesis examines the biomechanics of dragon boat paddling from the perspective of the paddle. Kinetic and kinematic paddle data were collected sequentially for each test participant from two dragon boat crews via 30 s maximum effort paddling tests. A custom built strain-gauged paddle sampled the paddling forces at 200 Hz whilst a stationary video camera (Sony HDR-HC7) recorded a single representative racing paced paddling stroke at 200 Hz. A light flash recorded by the video camera and its trigger signal recorded by the force data collection system ensured synchronisation. Excel spreadsheets converted the data into kinetic and kinematic paddle parameters for each study. Study one operationalised a qualitative coaching model for teaching paddlers a good dragon boat paddling stroke and produced strong support for the coaching model via a statistical comparison of more skilled paddlers with paddlers less skilled. More skilled paddlers produced significant superior results for paddle reach at water contact, rate of force development on water entry, maximum paddle force, drive impulse and drive impulse rate, force rate reduction at paddle exit and paddle impulse during recovery.

  • Hydromechanics of Sprint Canoes Ver Final+
    HYDROMECHANICS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SPRINT CANOES FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES 1 Tomasz J. Bugalski 1 Ship Hydromechanics Division, Ship Design and Research Centre S.A., PL-80-392 Szczecinska 65, Gdansk, Poland, [email protected] ABSTRACT The current paper focuses on evolution of hull form of sprint canoes from the Olympic Games in Berlin (1936) to the Olympic Games in Beijing (2008) and the influence of hydrodynamics aspects on design of sprint canoes. The paper describes the process of the Olympic canoes design and optimization, carried out by the Ship Design and Research Centre (CTO, CTO S.A.) in Gdansk and the Plastex Composite PPH (Plastex) in Warsaw –the renowned manufacturer of sport boats. The existing canoes (used as a starting point) and the newly designed ones were analysed with the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods, simplified potential methods and tested experimentally. The paper concludes the final results during Olympic Games competitions. HYDRODYNAMICS OF SPRINT CANOES AS A SEMI –DISPLACEMENT SHIPS The canoes sprint started to exist on the Olympic Games program in Berlin in 1936. The kayaks and sprint canoes shapes were changing and those changes could be divided to three periods – eras: • In the first period there were formed the regulations and principles from the ICF formation to the Olympic games in London in 1948. • The era of boats which were made of the wooden plywood, which also could be named Samson’s because of the name of main designer. • In the third period slender boats were made on the base of carbon-fibre composites.
