How It Works

Calculate kayak speed from paddle rate (strokes per minute), stroke length, and catch efficiency, and optimize rate for target race pace in flatwater sprint kayaking

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Paddle rate — The paddle rate recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Stroke length — The stroke length recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Catch efficiency — The catch efficiency recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Optimize rate — The optimize rate recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the kayak paddle rate result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the paddle rate, stroke length, catch efficiency, optimize rate for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate kayak speed from paddle rate (strokes per minute), stroke length, and catch efficiency, and optimize rate for target race pace in flatwater sprint kayaking. Use the kayak paddle rate result to inform your calculation.
