Abstract: The objective of the current study was to assess the reliability of paddling tests involving pivot turns and their relationship to performance level in elite slalom canoeists. Eighteen elite (national level, N = 9) and high performing elite (HPE – international level, N = 9) slalom canoeists performed timed paddling tests with a different number of pivot turns over progressively longer distances (3 x 40 m, 80 m, 200 m). The tests provided high test–retest reliability over time (ICC = ~0.9, CV = ~2%). HPE canoeists were faster in all tests than elite canoeists, however the largest differences were found over 200 m with 10 pivots (- 8.7 s, P
