Historically in canoe sprint as predominant abilities have been considered endurance and strength. As the sport develops, the often-changing competition programme in Olympic games and international championships with short and high-speed distances added, speed and power become also very important. The aim of this study is to give a detailed description about the training loads and volume and, in addition, to discuss the training methodology (strength training impact in total training amount) for high - class canoe sprint athlete (preparing and racing in the 200m distance). The research person is a medallist and participant of European and World championships. To study the research subject, the document analysis in form of training diary was used. The analysis was divided in three full training year cycles in one-year periods (macrocycles) from September to the following years September. In total 1119 workouts were analysed. In addition, the athletic and sport`s specific training forms were distinguished. The athletic strength training was defined as: athletic strength = 80% one repetition maximum (= 80% 1RM); athletic strength 60-70% 1RM; athletic strength speed oriented 60 - 70% 1RM; general physical fitness (GPF); statodynamic strength training. The specific strength was defined as: paddling with resistance; paddling with the additional weight in the boat; paddling from boat`s standing position; continuous paddling in sports zone II (heart rate of 125 - 140beats/min) with certain maximum strength manifestation in strokes. The total training volume in megacycle of the high-class canoe sprint athlete was 1211h, where the largest part (815.9h) consisted of athletic strength and sport`s specific strength. Research showed a total part of 54% (which corresponded to 235.9h) of strength expression training forms from the total training volume.
