The following outline is provided as an overview of canoeing and kayaking: Canoeing – recreational boating activity or paddle sport in which you kneel or sit facing forward in an open or closed-decked canoe, and propel yourself with a single-bladed paddle, under your own power. Kayaking – use of a kayak for moving across water. It is distinguished from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle. A kayak is a boat where the paddler faces forward, legs in front, using a double-bladed paddle. Most kayaks have closed decks. == What ''type'' of things are canoeing and kayaking? == * Exercise – bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health or wellness. * * Aerobic exercise – physical exercise that intends to improve the oxygen system.〔Concise Oxford English Dictionary (Eleventh Edition)〕 Aerobic means "with oxygen", and refers to the use of oxygen in the body's energy-generating process (the citric acid cycle). * Recreation – activity of leisure, leisure being discretionary time. * * Outdoor recreation – * Sport – organized, competitive, entertaining, and skillful physical activity requiring commitment, strategy, and fair play, in which a winner can be defined by objective means. * * Extreme Sport - Extreme sports is a popular term for certain activities perceived as having a high level of inherent danger.
