Abstract

The research aimed to know the effect of exercises in moving water (with and against the water current) on developing the special strength of youth kayakers in the 1000m race. Due to the small sample size, the experimental approach was deliberate and in a single-group manner. The research sample was youth kayakers in the second training center beside Al-Rusafa. The researchers concluded that the results showed an improvement in explosive strength in the 50m test (explosive start) as a result of training in moving water. Accordingly, it was recommended to integrate these training methods into youth training programs and expand the scope of future samples by conducting studies on larger and diverse samples (different age groups) to generalize the results.
