FLOWlines - March 2002 3 Flat and Open-Water Trip List Organizer Needed As you can see, Ivan has done some great work assembling a variety of whitewater river trips. We need a volunteer to help organize our “Flat and Open-Water Trip-list”. In past years we had great success with a series of mid-week paddles. On a Wednesday or Thursday night of each week we would gather on some one of Rochester’s local venues, and break the stress of the workweek by spending a few hours on the water. The Barge Canal, Genesee River, Long Pond, Mendon Pond, Braddock Bay, Irondequoit Bay, and Lake Ontario were among the offerings. Many larger and weekend trips were talked up and became a reality, starting with conversations on these evenings. Do you have a local place you would like to share? Interested in leading a short trip for a few hours one evening? Please help add to our list – if interested, contact Mike Shafer ([email protected]) or (585-227-9291) for more details. 2002 FLOW Whitewater Trip Schedule Whitewater paddling, like all adventure sports, entails an element of risk. FLOW members assume this risk, and share the risk and responsibility for assisting others in need, as a condition of joining any of the listed trips below. Each participant will be asked to sign a release to this effect before putting onto the water. We CAN NOT take non ACA/FLOW members on the trips. To add trips, or change existing trip listings for the monthly update, call Ivan Rezanka, 381-7475.

  • Relationship Between Upper Body Strength And
    Acta Facultatis Educationis Physicae Universitatis Comenianae Vol. 57 No 1 2017 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UPPER BODY STRENGTH AND PERFORMANCE AT CANOE FREESTYLE Nina Csonková, Dušan Kutlík Department of Outdoor sports and Swimming, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Comenius University in Bratislava SUMMARY: Performance in all canoe disciplines is based on the physical condition of the paddler and his technique and mental ability to adapt to the racing condition. The strength belongs to the most important physical factors in canoe sprint and canoe slalom disciplines. We believed that in canoe freestyle the strength has an important role in relation to the performance in comparison to other canoe disciplines. The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between upper body strength and special canoe freestyle performance. The study group consisted of 16 senior kayak freestyle paddlers in the age group 26 ± 3 years old. Fitro Dyne Premium was device used to obtain data for analysis of the level of general upper body strength abilities. To determine special upper body strength we used tests on paddle machine and freestyle kayaking flat water tests. Freestyle performance was measured during ECA Euro Cup 2013 competition in Slovakia, Čunovo by official ICF judges. The data obtained were measured by the Spearman Correlation (r) correlation test. The results of the study show significant relations between kayak freestyle performance and test of general strength endurance (p < 0.05), special strength endurance, special dynamic strength (p < 0.01). There were no statistically significant correlations between kayak freestyle performance and general maximal power, dynamic strength, special maximal power.

  • September 2012 Newsletter of the Blue Ridge Voyageurs the VOYAGEUR
    PAGE 1 September 2012 Newsletter of the Blue Ridge Voyageurs THE VOYAGEUR www.BlueRidgeVoyageurs.org September 2012 THE PRESIDENT’S PUT-IN As summer winds down, I look back at an interesting year as far as our club meetings have gone. We have had some unusual and interesting speakers, most notable I think was the presentation by Natalie Warren. She and her friend Ann Raiho paddled by canoe to Hudson’s Bay from Minnesota, a very entertaining story ac- companied with excellent visual imagery from their trip. Now for the next installment of unusual meeting events, we will have VP Mark Wray’s scout troop describing their adventures on the New River this past summer. It will be another youthful view of our favored pastime, should be a memorable meeting. The annual Moonlight Picnic was again a great success although at one point there was some anxiety about the whereabouts of the chicken! We were all (except for Mark Wray) safely planted on one of the sand is- lands in the river swilling various chilled adult beverages and narfing snacks. Therefore, the potential peril was somewhat tempered, but some concern was still voiced when there was no sign of Mark and the chicken. “We never should have left him alone “ it was declared, “he has the chicken!“ “Yes, Yes, the chicken!“ the call was repeated. Finally in the failing light an aluminum form was spotted ap- proaching from upriver and a great sigh of relief swept the crowd. “Thank God the chicken is here at last !” Mark had gotten tangled up in the submarine jungle that now infests the river these days.
