Possono atleti di una disciplina beneficiare di altre?
Curiosa domanda che si sono posti in Australia e che ha data vita ad una partnership tra:
Australian Canoeing, Surf Life Saving Australia and the Australian Sports Commission's National Talent Identification and Development Program .
Specialisti degli sport della pagaia cercano di darsi delle risposte su quanto hanno in comune kayak e surf ski,cosa può servire dell'uno all'altro e viceversa.
Ne nasce una discussione curiosa che riportiamo di seguito,
buona lettura e buoni commenti.
It asks the question 'How related are our paddling sports?' 'Can athletes from one discipline benefit from the other?'
Murray Stewart thinks so. He says that, for him, the surf ski work that he does provides good resistance training for his flat water work and his flat water work provides good technique practice for his surf work. For averages Joe's like myself, paddling around headlands and through ocean swells builds on core strength and stability. Long flat water work develops my endurance and confidence.
cosa ne pensi?
It all makes sense when you think of the benefits of cross training that we have discussed previously.
There are also undoubted differences between the disciplines, Greg Barton (Olympic gold medallist) has never beaten Oscar Chalopski (World Ocean Ski Champion) in surf events and Oscar has never beaten Greg in flat water. Perhaps Greg needed to subscribe to our podcast and watch our 'chasing runners' episode.
Sam Lyon from Australian Canoeing says, "Never before has a non-Olympic sport, such as Surf Life Saving, partnered with an Olympic sport to provide athletes with an established Olympic pathway while remaining within their existing sport"
