Changes in Simulated 2,000 Meter Rowing Performance During 4 Years of Intercollegiate Women’s Rowing
… gains in annual simulated 2,000 meter (2K) rowing tests of female collegiate rowers over their four years of collegiate-level training and competition. Data compiled over 14 years on 47 well-trained, collegiate female rowers were used. Subjects’ PR (personal record) 2K scores for each of …

Determinants of Elite Rowing Performance: Implications for Developing Rowers
Olympic Rowing is a ‘power endurance’ sport with a range of anthropometric, physiological and technical requirements. Literature examining the physiological determinants of elite rowing performance has rarely included the analysis of different groups or their longitudinal development. Elite rowing …

The Effect Of Scaffolding On The Acquisition Of Rowing
… learning environments: the 'ergometer', the 'rowing tank'and the rowing boat. Unlike study 1, this study found a negative relationship between scaffolding and learning to row. There were also differences between the environments. It was therefore, necessary to conduct a further study. Study 3 …

A computational fluid dynamic investigation of rowing oar blades
… dynamics (CFD) to model the flow regime around rowing oar blades. The two phase flow that was present at the surface between the water and the air was also incorporated into the CFD model. Firstly, a quasi–static method was applied, whereby the blade was held at a discrete number of angles of …

Effects of various inefficiencies in rowing on shell speed
… effects of various sources of inefficiency in rowing on shell speed. These predictions were then tested using a MATLAB model of the rowing stroke. The model simulates an eight man oared rowing shell and determines average shell speed, stroke rating, power per stroke, and time over a 2000 meter …

Rowing Biomechanics: Technique Changes with an Increase of Power Demand
The sport of rowing has become more popular in the past decade. While it is a relatively low impact sport, injuries can occur, specifically to the ribs (Karlson K. A., 1998) and more often in female athletes (Hickey, Fricker, & McDonald , 1997). It has been proposed that as the athlete rows, …
