The relationship between on-water and off-water performance tests in elite canoe slalom athletes by Matej Vajda, Felix Krupa, Jaylene Pratt, Monika Škáchová, Milan Kováč, Ján Cvečka, Ján Cvečka, Ján Busta

“…Each athlete completed testing over two consecutive days.ResultsThe results showed a significant relationship between the on-water tests (SBS/AOT) and body weight (kg, r = 0.472/0.478), body fat (%, r = 0.451/0.445), Pmax bench press (W, r = 0.748/0.705), Pmax bench pull (W, r = 0.704/0.693), relative Pmax bench press (W/kg, r = 0.735/0.663), relative Pmax in bench pull (W/kg, r = 0.727/0.700), ergo best 200 m (s, r = 0.851/0.884), ergo best mean 200 m (W, r = 0.902/0.922), and ergo 3 × 200 m total time (s, r = 0.842/0.884), determined using the Pearson correlation coefficient.ConclusionBased on the identified relationships, we recommend regular monitoring of the physical fitness levels of canoe slalom athletes using the described off-water tests. …”
