The linear distance of the track is 1000 meters. Athletes must row from the starting point to the end point in this passage, and the passage sign is clear and barrier-free. Athletes reach the finish line through the channel in the shortest time, and the ranking is determined by the order of bowing to the finish line.

First, the rules of canoeing competition

Generally speaking, athletes get ready in the starting area and start in a static way with the help of a flight attendant. The starting order of the preliminaries is decided by the International Rowing Federation according to the athletes' world rankings. The starting order of the semi-finals is determined according to the preliminary results; The starting order of the finals is determined according to the semi-final results, and those with good results will start first.

Through the water gate, penalty spot and missed gate, it is stipulated that athletes must pass through each water gate in the order of water gate numbers and in the correct direction indicated. The setting of the water gate is decided by the chief referee, the referee, the technical organizer and the track designer.

All or part of the athlete's head and hull pass through the connecting line between the water gate rods. When the ship, paddle and any part of the body do not touch the water gate lever and pass through the water gate in the specified direction, it will be regarded as correct and will not be punished. If an athlete's boat, paddle or body touches the gate pole when passing through the water gate, it will be deemed as touching the gate pole, and 2 points will be deducted; If the athlete fails to pass the designated sluice gate or is in the wrong direction, it will be regarded as missing the sluice gate and fined 50 points.

Second, kayaking introduction

Hard-shell kayaks can be divided into hard-shell kayaks, folding kayaks and inflatable kayaks. Hard-shell kayaks are hard, durable, impact-resistant and fast, but they are not very convenient to transport and need to be hung on the roof to travel. The folding kayak is easy to carry in the car, but it is difficult to control in difficult waters or oceans, and the taller hull is easily affected by the wind and the direction of travel deviates from the track.

The biggest feature of inflatable kayak is portability, but its endurance is short, its speed is slow, its use is laborious, its impact resistance is poor and its risk is relatively high.

Third, the benefits of canoeing to human body.

Canoeing is an outdoor sport and a test of speed and endurance. Regular participation in kayaking can promote the regulation of cardiovascular function, increase vital capacity and enhance the muscle strength and endurance of the whole body. It is a good project for fitness exercise. At the same time, because it is water sports, the negative ion content on the water surface is 2 to 3 times that of indoor sports, which is also of great benefit to the respiratory system. Canoeing is an aerobic exercise.
