Below are some of the benefits of kayaking:
Healthy exercise: Kayaking is an excellent total body exercise, especially for strengthening the muscles of the lower limbs, back and upper body. During rowing, the muscles of the upper body, arms and trunk are also actively involved.
Cardiovascular Training: Kayaking provides cardiovascular training, helping cardiovascular health and increasing the efficiency of the circulatory system.
Low risk of impact injury: Kayaking generally has a low risk of impact injury because the sport is performed on the surface of the water or in shallow water areas.
Increases Endurance and Strength: Regular kayaking increases endurance, builds strength and helps increase body awareness.
Stress reduction: Paddling on the water and being in nature can have a positive effect on mental health. Kayaking in a calm water environment can reduce stress and increase well-being.
Develop coordination: Pair movements in kayaking require coordination throughout the body. Learning the right technique contributes to the development of physical balance and coordination.
Socialize: Kayaking is an excellent social activity that provides an opportunity to socialize and join groups of friends.
Environmentally Friendly: Kayaks can be powered by human power or electric assistance, making them more environmentally friendly than other motorized watercraft.
Different Challenges: Kayaking offers a variety of challenges by dealing with different water conditions and river sections, which develops the skill and experience of the paddlers.
Tourist experience: Kayaking gives you the opportunity to explore lakes, rivers and coastal areas and reach places that are more difficult to reach by other means of transport.
