The Dansprint ergometer is a high tech Kayak and Canoe Ergometer,
designed for professionals, clubs and Multi-use setup in Gyms. With an
unparalleled authentic water feeling. As close to the real thing as you
will ever get without leaving your house. Off season, after dark, water
frozen, and weather punishing, Dansprint will allow you to keep up
the most tenacious trainingprogramme indoors.
Developed by a team of engineers and designers headed by kayak
world champions Ole Torp and Lars Koch, the Dansprint ergometer
was designed to meet the exacting requirements of élite paddlers
striving for perfection. Toning your muscles, honing your techniques,
and driving your performance towards untold horizons.
To an astonishing degree, Dansprint simulates the actual feel of both
inertia, hydrodynamic drag, and wave resistance of an Olympic style
K1 kayak moving through water. The results you achieve paddling the
Dansprint compare closely to your performance on the regatta course.
Within the typical kayak speed range of three to five meters per second
the resemblance to open water is especially outstanding.
Advanced Technology
In terms of technology, Dansprint is an extremely advanced execution
of a charmingly simple idea. Paddle action pulls a rotating fan in the
front. Stroke by stroke a built-in computer continuously measures and
translates the power of your pull into both graphic and numeric information about energy in-put and accumulated work. The large, easy to
read computer display shows paddling time – forward or countdown.
Distance covered. Left and right arm balance. Stroke rate. Water/air
ratio. Maximum and average power produced.
Also, adjusted to your own weight, Dansprint accurately measures maximum and average speeds. Expressed as meters per second, kilometers
per hour, or as time per 500 or 1,000 meters. Even your heart rate can
be monitored (requires serial interface to polar chest ribbon or similar).
Less advanced ergometers simply make rough assumptions about
the power developed from the speed of theirfly wheels, whereas
Dansprint measurements are scientifically correct. With a resolution of
app. 80 points per stroke Dansprint gauges breaking force and kinetic
energy stored before calculating the actual power in-put. Also, air intake in the rotating fan is adjustable to compensate for size and
weight of the paddler. Finally, build from superior materials only, the
Dansprint ergometer is dependable, durable and virtually unbreakable.

Our Service Promises
The Dansprint Do-It-Yourself Kit is assembled in a jiffy. Fit fan and
computer screen to the frame, plug in the cords, and you are done.
If you can use a wrench or turn on a toaster, you can do it.
Software is fully installed and operational. The computer is extremely easy to use, but we do offer free hot-line support. PC interface for on-line display, sequence logging, advanced paddle analysis,
heart rate, and multi competition events is
optional.
There is a one year world wide warranty on all parts of the Dansprint
ergometer.
Computer Display
The Dansprint VGA LCD display provides easily readable, relevant numeric
and graphic information to the athlete while training on the ergometer.
The following quantities are updated for each individual stroke:
• Paddling time
• Distance
• Speed / power
• Stroke rate / water-air ratio / max. speed / power
• Heart rate
(Requires serial interface to polar chest ribbon or similar)
• Average speed / power
• Graphic left / right power balance
• Pacer
4
For speed values, it is possible to choose from one of several units:
• m/s
• km / h
• time / 500 m
• time / 1,000 m
A countdown facility enables the paddler to record the exac time
spent travelling a certain distance.
The Dansprint computer continuously records power in-put values
of the last four minutes of paddling. In order to study details in performance values can be displayed as a power vs time graph.
Interval training
You can setup the work time or work distance and the rest time
between each interval.
Pacer
In the interval training mode it is possible to race against a pacer.
When setting the work time you can set how far the pacer comes
in that time interval. When setting the work distance you can set the
finish time for the pacer. The pacer starts when the paddler starts
and keeps the same speed during the interval.

Connection of two dansprint computers
Two dansprint computers can be connected, with a link cable. This
makes it possible to race against another or train together.
The paddler on the ergometer is shown as a top triangle and the
pacer or the other paddler is shown as a bottom triangle. The display
shows a distance of 100 meter and you can still see differences between the two triangles down to 0.31 meter.

For me the Dansprint kayakergometer is a vital mean to achieve sporting
success. And that’s for several reasons!
The Dansprint kayakergometer makes you feel like paddling for real without actually sitting in boat! The high-developed and through tested front
wheel makes it possible to adjust the resistance so it fits your weight and
paddle size and thus provide a kayak simulation which is identical with a
real kayak stroke. Though I haven’t paddled on the water during the winter
for more than 3 months, it has been possible to start the real paddling
without troubles and adaption problems.
Furthermore the Dansprint kayakergometer is easy to adjust and personalize and consists of high quality materials which provide a unique
comfort.
Since the introduction of the Dansprint kayakergometer my winter practice has been markedly improved. It’s now possible to paddle with high
quality in the winter, which normally is impossible because of temperature
and wind that require clothing that makes you feel like the Michelin-man.
The winter is maybe the best time of the year to develop your technique.
By placing a mirror in front of the kayakergometer you’ll get an exceptional
opportunity to work with your technique in detail that real paddling doesn’t
provide. I’ve used that a lot and with great success. It has given me a better understanding of my own technique and on what I have to work.
Usually we couldn’t make any high intensity paddling in the winter because with longer breaks you’ll quickly catch a cold. With the ergometer
that’s possible. I’ve paddled training programs ranging from 36 km steady
state to 50 m maximum speed, and it has given me many more alternatives in the winter training.
Furthermore the Dansprintcomputer offers an extra dimension.
It makes your effort measurable and you can plan your training quantity
and intensity to perfection. It provides all the data I need to monitor my
physical shape in detail. And more important: The computer makes it possible to compete with yourself and your buddies in daily during the winter
period – a very important element in high performance practice.
The Dansprint kayakergometer has made it possible to test my physical
state in detail – a feature which is very important during the winter to
achieve the best preparation for the great aims of the season. Moreover it’s
interesting to look back in time on these perfectly comparable tests. When I
started to use the ergometer in 1999 my best time was more than 9 minutes in 2,000 m and a 4.17 in 1000m. Today my best time is 7.46 and 3.37
respectively.
The Dansprint kayakergometer is also very usable when you want to test
your VO2-max, heartrate and lactate values.
Dansprint has also introduced winter competitions. I’ve participated in
both national and international competitions. When I compete in the winter
it enhances my motivation and contribute with many small goals through
the long, dark winter which makes it funnier and more motivating to carry
through the daily winter practice.
In my opinion the Dansprint kayakergometer has resulted in a little revolution in training. It provides optimal preparation and improves my preparation strikingly.

Adam
