In recent years, stand-up paddling has become increasingly popular. The athlete moves upright on a special board with the help of a paddle. But is SUP just a trend or can it already be considered an established sport?
SUP is not only a way to build muscles, it also trains endurance and balance at the same time. It's also great training for proprioception - awareness of the body's position in space - and coordination. These skills are useful not only for SUP sports, but also for other sports and everyday activities.
SUP is also considered a relaxing activity as it is usually performed on bodies of water in nature such as lakes, rivers or the sea. The combination of natural surroundings, exercise and fresh air can help reduce stress and increase overall well-being. In addition, SUP can be considered a meditative exercise where the focus is on the rhythm of the paddling and the movement of the body.
