Questions and Answers

What is the primary benefit of maintaining proper posture while seated in a kayak?

  • Minimizing drag against the kayak.
  • Reducing the risk of lower back strain.
  • Optimizing body efficiency and ease of breathing. (correct)
  • Maximizing leg muscle engagement for propulsion.
  • Why is it important to keep the legs together and feet against the footpegs while kayaking?

  • To allow for quicker leg movements during bracing.
  • To reduce water resistance and increase speed.
  • To maintain a lower center of gravity for stability.
  • To improve torso rotation and paddling efficiency. (correct)
  • In canoeing, why should the bottom hand (the one holding the shaft) generate the most power?

  • It allows for a more controlled and balanced stroke.
  • It utilizes larger muscle groups for increased force. (correct)
  • It reduces strain on the upper arm and shoulder.
  • It enhances the paddler's ability to steer the canoe.
  • For a right-handed kayaker using a feathered paddle with the "right hand fixed, left hand loose" technique, what is the primary role of the left hand?
