VNR: UH study first to measure outrigger canoe paddling intensity
“University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa public health researchers are collecting data from outrigger canoe paddlers to determine the activity’s metabolic equivalents (METs), which show how many calories or energy expenditure a person burns when engaged in a physical activity.

“University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa public health researchers are collecting data from outrigger canoe paddlers to determine the activity’s metabolic equivalents (METs), which show how many calories or energy expenditure a person burns when engaged in a physical activity.
A total of 60 participants, including competitive and recreational paddlers with and without a spinal cord injury, were part of the AccessMETs pilot study. Data collection events were held to measure their METs on three days between March 7 through March 10, 2024 at Mauliola Keʻehi (Sand Island Boat Ramp).”
