Canoeing enthusiasts, did you know that 66% of the forward stroke in this Olympic sport engages the upper and lower back, hips, and both legs? The remaining 34% is taken up by the neck, shoulders, arms, and wrists. It's intriguing to note that the power of the stroke primarily comes from the waist down, highlighting the importance of lower body strength in this activity. Additionally, rotation initiates at the waist and incorporates the lower body, emphasizing the comprehensive nature of the movement.
