Congratulations to JM8+ St.Paul coach Bobby Thatcher and JW8+ Hedington coach Ryan Demaine with their great success at Henley Royal Regatta! Well done!

Did you know that… each kg of added boat mass reduces rowing speed by 0.15%? This is about 2.5 times greater than predicted by the previous theoretical model.

XBoat system represents a step forward in rowing biomechanics technology, offering user-friendly hardware and advanced web-based software. It provides basic biomechanical measurements of oar angles, forces, and rowing power; however, its accuracy raises serious concerns.

Did you know that… recently, biomechanical characteristics of on-water single sculling were compared with those observed during rowing on six different types of machines: Concept2 RowErg, PowerFun PF-580, TechnoGym, FirstDegree MegaPRO XL, RP3 Model S, Concept2 Dynamic?

Did you know that… telemetry results should be used primarily for improving rowing technique and applied very cautiously in rower selection?

Rowers can effectively manage the overall gearing ratio and stroke timing by adjusting oar angles and using dynamic gearing without changing the oar levers

[BioRow @bio_row]

the Peach system produces basic biomechanical data about oar angles, forces, and rowing power, although these may be overestimated? The BioRowsystem provides extended information including blade work in the water, rowing style, and advanced data analysis.

Randall foils do not increase rowing efficiency or improve performance. They increase blade drag, making rowing feel heavier and more energy-demanding.

[BioRow @bio_row]

Rowers with very different physiology and force/power production can be synchronised and row successfully together in a crew with similar or even identical rigging.

BioRow Expert AI chat has been developed recently to answer your questions about Rowing Biomechanics and technique and help you to row more efficiently and faster. Please visit the chat at https://t.co/h7rcr4A2qa and ask your questions.

Did you know that… an athlete's performance is defined mainly by the quickness of muscle relaxation, rather than by the time of muscle contraction?

Congratulations to JW8+ Headington School for their victory at Henley Royal Regatta! Great race! Well done girls and coaches!

The first BioRow Rowing Speed and Rigging Chart was created in 2009, and recently, it has been divided and redeveloped using the latest technologies. New online tools have also been added, implementing the latest BioRow studies: https://t.co/OnuXt80d6I

Oar pitch generally increases from the blade tip toward the shaft? For reliable results, always measure it at the same point on the blade and at the same height relative to the boat.

Did you know these five key principles of
effective rowing technique?
1. During recovery, the trunk angle should
be constant after the “transition position”
(90° knee angle), avoiding any further
“diving” into the catch.
2. The later the rowers begin to push on the
stretcher ...

Did you that rowing power increases during youth, peaks around age 30, and then declines with age? The rowing power in the 13-14 age categories is similar to that of 60-64 year-old males and 55-59 year-old females.
