Kayaking is one of the most popular recreational sports, a fantastic activity for those who enjoy playing, or training, in the great outdoors. Aside from its enjoyability, it has several health benefits. This infographic, titled “7 Benefits of Kayaking” was created by Kayaker Nation to illustrate the seven most significant benefits of this water sport. Because it’s a cardio activity that also works several muscle groups, it’s no surprise two items on the list are burning calories and enhanced heart health. It also boosts leg strength, abdominal strength, and upper body tone. It has psychological benefits as well, including reducing anxiety and providing distraction-free time away from the stresses and distractions of daily life. Furthermore, in part due to endorphin production, kayaking can provide a mental health boost.
