Abstract

The aim of the study was to describe movement of canoe and elite canoeist during the different types of tempo. One of the tasks was to find space time differences of selected points of the system body of the canoeist and the canoe.

The study confirmed that elite canoeist has high level of similarity of movement and differences were on time of strokes only. The racing tempo start, 200 m tempo, 500 m tempo and 1000 m tempo were selected for evaluation.

The 3D kinematics analysis was used for observation of movement.
