Kiteboarding is an extreme water sport where, with the help of a special kite and a board, we glide across the water surface, using the wind force. This sport is also increasingly popular in Slovenia, which is reflected in the increasing number schools that offer various start-up courses for beginner kiteboarders. Starting courses can be very hard for participants in terms of physical effort and other characteristics. This is especially true for all participants who are not in good physical condition and are not regularly active at the sport. These people appear, according to some school leaders, more and more on beginner courses. For this reason, the purpose of the theses work was to prepare a selection of gymnastic exercises for beginner kiteboarders. With this we wanted to prepare the initial kite training courses, with which the participants will be able to take appropriate fitness condition before they can participate in the course, and they can also prepare the idea for motorcycle preparation with the simulation of kiteboarding motion models. In selecting the exercises, we first examined the available domestic and foreign literature, and then analyzed kiteboarding in terms of the characteristics of the methodology of learning, technical elements and motive patterns. We also took into account the characteristics of exercise during kiteboarding. On this basis, we prepared six training units with gymnastic strength exercises. In addition to strengthening gymnastic exercises with own weight, we also prepared a selection of strengthening gymnastic exercises with training tapes, which is a good tool for imitating the movement patterns that we perform during kiteboarding. We recommend the implementation of the program to all beginners who want to practice the exercises and prepare for the initial course. We also recommend training with these selected exercises for those who want to strengthen the most exposed muscle groups and thus kiteboard more safely. This kind of preparation is especially important when kiteboarders, because functionally inadequate muscles can not withstand and react appropriately with unexpected forces that arise in the presence of strong and sudden gusts of wind. For beginners in the learning process, however, such situations appear very often. However, most of the injuries occur in these cases. These injuries can be avoided by exercising with suitable and appropriate strengthening gymnastic exercises.
