“…Although SUP is also generally regarded as an effective full-body workout, few studies are in progress, and little scientific evidence can confirm these benefits. Studies related to SUP have included only research on topics such as sports injury epidemiology [6][7][8], body composition analysis, and respiratory metabolism [9][10][11][12]. Other studies have analyzed the effectiveness of exercise training intervention [13,14].…”

Background: This study aimed to understand individual muscle use in different paddling postures in stand-up paddle boarding (SUP). Methods: Sixteen college students were recruited in this study. Surface electromyography of 16 muscles on the dominant side was recorded. Results: In the time series, the biceps muscle exhibited a continuous activation pattern in the pull phase when kneeling, whereas when standing, the muscle contracted considerably in the exit and recovery phases, implying that it plays different roles in the two postures. The biceps also exhibited significantly higher muscle activation in the kneeling position than it did in the standing position. The maximum muscle activity levels of the external oblique abdominis and triceps were significantly higher when standing than when kneeling. In addition, an unstable SUP board activated the gastrocnemius to help paddlers maintain stability on a swaying surface. Moreover, additional power from the wrist flexor must be used in the recovery and catch phases to stabilize paddle control in the standing position. Conclusion: The knowledge that changes in SUP posture activate different muscle groups can enhance training efficiency and provide a reference for designing individualized training programs.

Background Surfer's myelopathy is a non‐traumatic spinal cord injury that was first described in a publication in 2004. However, most emergency physicians are not familiar with this rare disease. Case Presentation The patient was a 19‐year‐old female novice surfer. She had experienced back discomfort without trauma during her surfing lessons. The discomfort turned to dysesthesia of both legs. She could not walk after 1 h and was brought to our hospital. Physical examination revealed weakness and dysesthesia of both legs, absent deep tendon reflexes, bilaterally positive Babinski reflex, and bladder and rectal disturbance. Spine magnetic resonance imaging revealed T2 prolongation from T7 to the medullary cone. She was diagnosed with surfer's myelopathy and treated conservatively. She recovered well and was discharged on day 28. Conclusion Emergency physicians must be better informed about surfer's myelopathy. Novice surfers and instructors should be educated on the early signs and symptoms of this condition.

“…An injury rate of 3.63 per 1000 hours of SUP was reported in the case of SUP. Klontzas, Hatzidakis & Karantanas (2015), present a case study, specifically, the first case of a 28 year-old athlete who developed myelopathy during his first SUP surfing session. Clinical examination revealed a severe neurological deficit, which had not fully subsided at the 28-month follow-up.…”

Stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) is a relatively new physical activity, which involves paddling with a single- blade paddle while standing on a surf-like board. Although its practice has increased in recent years, there has not been much research into this sport. The aim of this review is to analyse the research carried out so far in SUP, for which purpose the following databases have been consulted: PUBMED/MEDLINE, Web of Science (WOS), Cochrane library, Google scholar and Scopus, using the following search phrase base (Stand up paddle [Title/Abstract]) OR (Stand-up paddle [Title/Abstract]). 182 articles in total were obtained and after applying the PRISMA method, 36 articles were included, divided into 5 groups: physiology, biomechanics, injury, education and others. Existing literature shows the great potential of this activity in improving health-related parameters such as cardiovascular system or balance, as well as describing a balanced mesomorph somatotype and a good cardiovascular level in elite paddlers. On the other hand, a higher injury rate has been recorded in shoulders, lower back and elbows in SUP race participants and in the lower body in the case of SUP surfing, with strength training being the training variable that is most closely linked to injury prevention. This review demonstrates that SUP is an activity with great potential for application in education, as well as health improvement. Resumen: El Stand Up Paddle (SUP) es una actividad física relativamente nueva, que implica remar con un remo de una sola hoja mientras se está de pie sobre una tabla similar a la del surf. Aunque su práctica ha aumentado en los últimos años, no hay mucha investigación sobre este deporte. El objetivo de esta revisión es analizar la investigación realizada hasta el momento. Se han consultado las siguientes bases de datos: PUBMED/MEDLINE, Web of Science (WOS), biblioteca Cochrane, Google Scholar y Scopus, utilizando la siguiente base de frases de búsqueda (Stand up paddle [Título / Resumen]) O (Stand-up paddle [Título /Resumen]). Se obtuvieron un total de 182 artículos y tras aplicar el método PRISMA se incluyeron un total de 36 artículos, divididos en 5 grupos: fisiología, biomecánica, lesión, educación y otros. La literatura existente muestra el gran potencial de esta actividad para la mejora de parámetros relacionados con la salud, como el sistema cardiovascular o el equilibrio, además de describir un somatotipo mesomorfo equilibrado y un buen nivel cardiovascular en palistas de élite. También se ha registrado una mayor tasa de lesiones en hombros, espalda baja y codos para los participantes de la carrera de SUP y en la parte inferior del cuerpo para el SUP surf, siendo el entrenamiento de fuerza la variable de entrenamiento con mayor relación con la prevención de lesiones. Esta revisión demuestra que el SUP es una actividad con gran potencial de aplicación en la educación, así como para la mejora de la salud.
