21 kayak coaches took part in the questionnaire survey, whose coaching experience ranged from 1 to 40 years, including 4 - Honored Coaches of Ukraine, 8 - the highest category and 9 - the first category (Kyiv, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Sumy). The survey was conducted to collect information on technical features training of young kayakers aged 15–16 at the stage of preliminary basic training. Visual characteristics of rowing techniques for kayakers aged 15–16 by Ukrainian coaches showed that their knowledge is mostly in line with modern scientific ideas, but there are also deviations in the model characteristics of rowing techniques, special wiring of the paddle blade, respectively, it requires further improvement of approaches based on the use of objective quantitative criteria for evaluating the technique of motor actions of rowers in the training and competitive process. It should be noted that trainers in the visual characterization of rowing techniques mainly focus on the biomechanical aspects of muscle and joint work, without considering the features of rowing movements. Accordingly, only 32% of coaches surveyed say that with the help of a wing-shaped paddle blade you can get extra lifting force, due to which the rowing becomes more powerful, and 68% say that the rowing should take place along the side of the boat, but with the traditional design of the oar. The parameters of technical training of kayakers aged 15–16, consisting of the main elements of rowing technique, optimal angles of biomechanical effort, angles of attack of the paddle, error correction, wiring of the paddle blade, can serve as objective criteria for assessing the technical component of sports improvement.
