Верхняя опора. Руки и локти.(Hands and elbows)
@Baskitravel Hands and elbows High Recovery Perfecting the fine details will give you an efficient high recovery and will help you to avoid injury. Learning Elbows behind the force Keeping the paddle shaft close to your chin will help you to hang off the shaft and keep your elbows behind the force. If the paddle is too far in front then you will not be able to put the same force into the stroke. Make sure you don't overextend the stroke as you need to maintain a bent elbow on the side of the recovery. Knuckles in line with the top edge of the blade A common error is to rotate the active blade into a position where the top edge of the blade is not in line with the knuckles on the hand. This will make it easy to get the blade angle but will put your elbow in a weak position. Control hand closest to the water It does not matter if you are right or left handed it is always the hand closest to the water that is the control hand. This means that even if you are right-handed and performing a high recovery on your left it should be your left hand that controls the blade angle during the recovery stroke. Controlling the top hand Keeping the top hand low during a high recovery is not only important for the safety of the shoulders but also is the key to an efficient stroke. If the top hand lifts up then this turns the high recovery into a draw stroke rather than a recovery. The top hand can lift up because the lower hand is pulled into the kayak and therefore the top hand has to move up and away. It can also just be the result of the top hand pushing up and this then pulls the bottom hand in. Whichever way it is happening this pulls the blade into an inefficient angle and position. Exercise There is a lot to experiment with here. What you will need to do is check each of the points and see if you are getting the details right. focus on one at a time with your paddling partner holding your kayak. Move on when... You are ready to move on when you have developed the fine details to an effective high recovery and are happy that your control hand, top hand, and elbow position are all working to give you an effective stroke.
