This study investigates the kinematic characteristics of balance control in stationary sprint kayaking. Researchers analysed the motion of body segments and the kayak under three distinct conditions: voluntary rolling, static balance with minimal movement, and static balance with controlled oscillations. The results indicate that experienced kayakers demonstrate better control and symmetry in their kayak motion compared to less experienced individuals. The pelvis plays a primary role in initiating kayak motion, while the trunk remains relatively stable. The head and shoulders contribute to balance by counteracting excessive oscillations, particularly during the voluntary rolling task. The study concludes that balance control in sprint kayaking is a complex skill involving the coordinated movements of various body segments and suggests that targeted training can enhance an individual's balance abilities. This research provides valuable insights that could inform the development of kayak balance training aids capable of simulating the medial-lateral rolling motion experienced on the water. This study also outlines the potential for developing technology-based balance training tools to train new athletes and improve the performance of experienced athletes.
