Abstract
Since paddling motion in a single kayak is a combination of human body and fluid forces acting on kayak and paddle, its dynamics is complicated. Therefore, there has been no method to analyze dynamics of paddling motion considering the fluid forces. The objective of this study was to develop the simulation model of paddling motion in a single kayak and to conduct simulation analysis using this model. For this objective, we constructed the simulation model and conducted an experiment to obtain the data of paddling motion. We calculated the joint motion data from the experiment, input it into the simulation model, and compared the images of joint motion in the simulation model to those of the experiment
