A physician who previously worked at Body Care Liposculpture & Anti-Aging Clinic, Naval Parikh, MD, serves as the clinical site coordinator of NAPA Research. When he isn’t working, Dr. Naval Parikh enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, water skiing, and kayaking.
Kayaking as a sporting event has been in existence since the mid-19th century and has been closely tied to canoe sport competitions since its inception. The sport of canoe sprints was introduced to the Olympic program at the 1936 Berlin Games and has since been dominated by European nations. The difference between the two boats is that kayaks are closed and involve athletes using a double-blade paddle to steer from a sitting position, while canoes are open and involve athletes using a single-blade paddle to steer from a kneeling position.
