Background Biomechanical parameters can distinguish a skilled rower from a less skilled
rower and can provide coaches with meaningful feedback and objective evidence to inform …

Winning times at benchmark international rowing competitions (Olympic Games and World
Championships) are known to vary greatly between venues, based on environmental …

In Paralympic sports, investigating seating ergonomics and optimizing for performance is
crucial due to individual impairments. Usually, experiments are conducted in laboratory …

Empirical observations support that the addition of a plastic strip–also known as Randall
foils–on the top edge of a rowing blade improves rowing efficiency during the cycle …

Rowing is a complex sport where technique can significantly impact performance. A better
understanding of the rowers' technique and neuromuscular activations during scull rowing …

We investigated the notion that ergometer rowing technique at different intensities, but self-
chosen stroke rates (SR) would resemble each other more than when rowing at other …

ABSTRACT A rowing cycle is characterised by a stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) at the
quadriceps femoris muscle-tendon unit (MTU) level. However, due to the associated …

Analyzing performance in rowing, eg, analyzing force and power output profiles produced
either on ergometer or on boat, is a priority for trainers and athletes. The current state-of-the …

Purpose: To compare power output and pacing between maximal 1500-and 2000-m on-
water rowing performances. Methods: Twenty-six (female n= 4, male n= 22) international …

Boat acceleration profiles can provide valuable information for coaches and practitioners to
make meaningful technical interventions and monitor the determinants of success in rowing …
