Breaking Through "The Wall": An Examination of Elite Rowers and Their Experience of Conquering Their Mental Boundaries
… of rowing, Baltzell (1999) found that elite rowers coped with their mental boundaries by using; mental preparation, goal setting, social support and psychological well-being. However even though rowing is a sport where athletes experience "The Wall" frequently, modest research has been done …

A study of schoolgirl's perceptions of injury associated with rowing
… type of injury in senior level schoolgirl rowers over the 2004-2005 rowing season. Data was gathered via survey and it was found that 18% of rowers sustained injuries (n=34), of this group 18 were sweep rowers and 16 were scull rowers. There was a difference in injury pattern between sweep …

An investigation into determinants of successful rowing performance in terms of body morphology and stretcher position.
Successful rowers competing at an elite level have been shown to have particular morphological characteristics that are associated with their success (Bourgois et al. 2001; Slater et al. 2005; Kerr et al. 2007). The aim of this investigation was to identify physical attributes that confer an …
