  • Canoe Slalom
    Tokyo 2020 media guide – canoe slalom Canoe slalom at the Kasai Canoe Slalom Centre July 25 – 30, 2021 CANOE SLALOM – A BEGINNER’S GUIDE The course contains 18–25 gates, each gate comprised of two hanging poles. The downstream gates are coloured green and the upstream gates are red. Competitors must navigate their boat down the course without touching the gate. As a guide, there will be either six or eight upstream gates. If the competitor's boat, paddle or body touches either pole of the gate, a time penalty of two seconds is added. If the competitor misses a gate, a 50-second penalty is given. The penalty seconds are then added to the time it took the competitor to complete the course to provide an overall time. In kayak, the competitor is seated and uses a double-bladed paddle, paddling on alternate sides. In canoe, the competitor uses a single-bladed paddle and sits with legs bent at the knees and tucked under the body, paddling on either the left or right side. In the Olympic Games, each competitor completes two runs in the qualification round and the faster time of the two runs gives the qualification result. The fastest time from the two heats runs for each athlete determines who will progress to the semi-final. The number of athletes in the semi-finals for each event is as follows: Men’s canoe: 15 Women’s kayak: 24 Women’s canoe: 18 Men’s kayak: 20 The ten fastest semi-finalists will compete in the final, and the ranking and the medallists will be determined based on their finals run alone.

Green Design Objectives These technical requirements are to be reviewed and developed with respect to site and geotechnical information during the scheme design stage. A preliminary operational programme of use for the facility should be developed which will inform decisions on the user numbers and scale of provision required. The pumps serving the canoe course will require a substantial power supply. The course design is to be developed to enable multiple programming options related to a graduated power usage profile. The carbon footprint of the facility, where possible, should be minimised in terms of both construction and operation with respect to the following considerations: 1. Optimum siting and orientation for the facility 2. Low energy consumption through:- • High thermal insulation • High efficiency heating and lighting installations • Managed pump start-up and operation (soft start, variable flow drives etc.) • Well designed channel hydraulics to ensure managed hydraulic energy loss. • Improved operational outcomes and costs through commitment to functional design • Natural ventilation 3. Use timber only from properly managed sources 4. Use low energy, low impact materials 5.

  • Is the Aerobic Power a Delimitating Factor for Performance on Canoe
    Original Article Is the aerobic power a delimitating factor for performance on canoe slalom? An analysis of Olympic Slovak canoe slalom medalists and non-Olympics since Beijing 2008 to Rio 2016 VIKTOR BIELIK1 , LEONARDO HENRIQUE DALCHECO MESSIAS2, MATEJ VAJDA1, PETER LOPATA3, JAKUB CHUDÝ1, FÚLVIA DE BARROS MANCHADO-GOBATTO2 1Department of Sports Kinanthropology, Faculty of Physical Education and Sports, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia 2Laboratory of Applied Sport Physiology (LAFAE) School of Applied Sciences, University of Campinas, Limeira, São Paulo 3National Sport Center, Slovakia ABSTRACT Information regarding the aerobic power on canoe slalom performance is scares. Moreover, the comparison of maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) via specific and non-specific ergometer for slalom kayakers may improve training prescription and controlling over Olympic cycles. Lastly, it is still unknown to what extent the VO2max delimitate the high performance in this sport. To test this perspective, a highly qualified sample is desired. In overall statistics, Slovakian athletes gathered 14 Olympic medals over the last sixteen years. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to compare the aerobic power of Olympic medallists and Non-Olympic Slovakian kayakers via specific and non-specific evaluations from Beijing 2008 to Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Forty-two male canoe slalom athletes from Slovak national team were evaluated between the years 2006 and 2016. Slovakian athletes were tested for specific (i.e. paddling ergometer) and non-specific (i.e. treadmill) incremental protocols for VO2max determination. Over the last three Summer Olympic Games, the VO2max of Slovakian Olympic medallists was consistently lower than most of the Slovakian team. Moreover, disregarding the medallist characteristic or the moment, Slovakian kayakers presented higher VO2max on treadmill (57.7±6.8 mL.kg-1.min-1) when compared to paddle ergometer (46.9±6.5 mL.kg-1.min-1) (p=0.000; ES=1.6).
