The influence of paddling cadence on the time to exhaustion (t.lim) and VO2 kinetics at the intensity associated with VO2max (IVO2max) was examined in seven highly-trained white water kayakers. All subjects were engaged in national or international competitions. Subjects took part in three constant-load tests at IVO2max, each test performed at a different paddling cadence (50, 60 or 70 cycles min(-1). The VO2 kinetics recorded during these constant-load tests at IVO2max were fitted with a mono-exponential equation. A significant increase in t.lim (P <.05) was observed as the paddling cadence increased from 50 to 70 cycles min(-1). No effect was found either on values of VO2peak, post-exercise blood lactate concentration, or on the time at which VO2peak was attained (TAVO2peak). Our results suggest that experienced kayakers may choose a high paddling cadence during physiological assessments at IVO2max. Further experiments are needed in order to identify the physiological significance of t.lim at IVO2max.

Due to the importance of energy efficiency and economy in endurance performance, it is important to know the influence of different paddling cadences on these variables in the stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of paddling at different cadences on the energy efficiency, economy, and physiological variables of international SUP race competitors. Ten male paddlers (age 28.

Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how the thickness of surfboards affects how much energy surfers use when paddling.
- Twenty surfers paddled on different surfboards of varying thickness and their heart rates and oxygen usage were measured.
- It was found that thicker surfboards helped surfers paddle easier by making them use less energy and keeping them more stable in the water.
