On the basis of scientific studies, a concise characterization of canoeing, forms of spending free time by modern youth was made, passions were defined and the role of sports activity in the lives of young people was indicated.

Reflection on the issues raised indicates that canoeing is a sport that is an excellent form of socialization of young people, and the educational values carried by this type of sport are invaluable. It is a sport that increases the physical fitness of young people, shapes character and has a positive effect on the psyche. Canoeing training is also an opportunity to build valuable interpersonal relationships. Canoeing is a recommendable form of physical activity, it is often considered a sport for life, positively affecting human functioning. There is a great need to popularize this sport, especially due to the very great need to develop the physical condition of children and youth, which, due to the rapid development of technology and the increasing amount of time spent by young people in front of the screens of various devices, is getting weaker and weaker.
