Sammanfattning
Kayaking is a technically complex sport where small margins can determine the outcome of competitions, making it crucial for the paddler to have a well-developed paddling technique. We have systematically developed a concept designed to help active paddlers and coaches understand, analyze, and improve paddling technique. The technical aid is relevant and useful for both paddlers and coaches, based on their respective needs and requirements. The concept we developed is an app called KayakCoach. Through the app, the coach can view various parameters from the paddlers in real time, out on the water. These parameters include, for example, distance per stroke, paddle rate, heart rate, and speed. Access to these parameters in real time strengthens the coach’s basis for the feedback provided to the paddlers, leading to more data-driven feedback
