In similar lines I thought more about using Unicycle as paddling training aid. Few reasons: - hip rotation is used to turn - leg and upper body separation - Balance and coordination - using smaller crank size simulate paddling leg motion - adding small weight in each hand or playing hockey unicycle with alternating hands sides would add hands workout part… - some drills you show on bicycle are actually part of unicycle freestyle techniques - I just have similar feeling. In my legs after unicycle and kayak sessions… Maybe good idea would be to explore dry paddling trainings aid tools… like elastic bands or weight training… thanks Cheers
If it's fun, why not? Difference is hip rotation is used on the kayak for power delivery and propulsion while on the unicycle is balance and coordination. And cadence on unicycle will be much faster than kayak--probably faster than even the best 200 meter sprinters. But purpose of this video is to show air time is required by kayak paddling, but it's a disadvantage rather than an advantage since not required when cycling.
