Kitesurfen
Kitesurfing, also known as kiteboarding, is an exciting water sport in which participants stand on a small board while being pulled across the water by a large kite. The kite is attached to a bar with lines, which the kitesurfer holds in their hands to control direction and speed. Kitesurfing combines aspects of windsurfing, surfing, wakeboarding and paragliding. It requires wind to get the kite in the air and pull the surfer across the water. Kitesurfers use the power of the wind to glide, jump and perform various tricks. This sport requires a good level of skill, strength and coordination as well as a basic understanding of wind and weather. Kitesurfing can be practised in many different bodies of water, from lakes to oceans, and offers a unique combination of adrenaline and interaction with nature. It is a favourite sport for adventure seekers and water sports enthusiasts.
How Calopad helps with kitesurfing
Calopad is ideal for kitesurfers to relieve muscle tension and pain caused by the intense physical exertion of manoeuvring the kite and steering the board. Calopad's deep heat penetrates into the stressed muscle areas and provides fast and effective pain relief. Rapid recovery after kitesurfing is crucial to maintain the surfer's performance and physical health. Calopad supports muscle recovery by promoting blood circulation, which shortens recovery time and improves overall performance.
Adequate strength training is important for kitesurfers in order to optimally prepare the body for the stresses and strains of the sport and to prevent injuries and complaints. By specifically training the core, leg, arm and shoulder muscles, kitesurfers can reduce the risk of overstraining and injuries. The Calopad Care Abo therefore combines passive heat treatments with active therapies by sports physiotherapists to ensure comprehensive treatment and optimum support for kitesurfers.
