Determining the dependence between the selected common strength tests and a field test at flatwater canoeing athletes

Title: Determining the dependence between the selected common strength tests and a field test at flatwater canoeing athletes Aims: The aim of the study is to determine the dependence between the common strength tests and a field test on a flat water kayak K1. Methods: We used quantitative research with testing and measurement methods to provide answers and information about dependence between the common strength tests and the field test on water. The ensemble consists of 8 random selected kayakers who participate in Czech Cups at flatwater canoeing. The endurance strength of the upper limbs and torso was measured by repetitions for 2 minutes in a bench- press exercise and lying lift exercise with half of their own weight. Short-term endurance was measured on a flatwater kayak on a flat water for 2 minutes with flying start. The relationships between endurance strength of upper extremities and short-term endurance at flatwater canoeing athletes were determined by using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The relationship determined between selected general strength tests and field test at 8 random selected kayakers was compared with relationship determined at 23 kayakers, all selected from final A at Czech championship 2019. Results: Using the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, we found..
