The benefits of Stand Up Paddle for seniors

Updated: Nov 21

Muscle strengthening and toning


SUP involves many muscle groups.

Muscles of the trunk, arms, legs and back are used to maintain balance and propel the board through the water.


Improved balance and stability


SUP is an excellent exercise for preventing falls and maintaining mobility.

Maintaining balance on the board stimulates the body's stabilizing muscles, improving balance and overall stability.


Gentle cardio-training


SUP helps improve cardiorespiratory endurance and promote cardiovascular health.

When rowing on water, the heart and lungs work to supply oxygen to the muscles.


Stress relief and improved mental health


SUP offers an opportunity to relax, reduce stress and improve emotional and mental well-being.

Being out in the open, on the water: a soothing, relaxing experience.


Low-impact activity on joints


SUP is a low-impact activity that puts little stress on the joints.

An attractive option for those concerned about protecting their joints.


Cognitive stimulation


SUP requires concentration and coordination to navigate the water.

Gentle stimulation of cognitive functions.


The best way to get started, and to get out on the water safely, is to follow the advice of a professional to acquire the right techniques and build your confidence.

Swisspaddle's Stand Up Paddle courses are taught by qualified instructors who know how to adapt to your expectations and objectives.
