Biomechanics of Para-rowing |
Here we present a case study here on the comparison of Olympic and Para-rowers in singles. Biomechanics of Para-rowing have many similar features with open events. The main differences were found in shorter drive length, shorter catch angles, and lower rowing power, which together with higher drag resistance resulted in slower rowing speed. |

Visualisation of Catch Factor and Blade Slip |
During the optimal Catch Factor, seat moves to the now no more than 1.5cm. The blade must be accelerated backwards up to certain velocity to hit the water with its front or achieve a neutral entry. |

Tools and methods in Rowing Biomechanics |
Some rowing coaches like simpler monitoring systems, others prefer in-depth testing with BioRow system, and some successfully combine both methods. |

Practical points on boat acceleration |
A common practical question received from rowers and coaches is: “What should we do to achieve an “ideal” boat acceleration (BA) curve?” |

Gold standards for boat acceleration |
Here we continue the analysis of boat acceleration BA using the model developed in RBN 2023/01 for the evaluation of various aspects of rowing technique. Timing of the boat acceleration curve is the main indicator of“ Gold standard” of rowing technique. Its magnitude defines mainly ratio of active (rower) to passive (boat) masses. |

Modelling of boat acceleration |
Coaches and rowers ask: “Why are targets for the boat acceleration curve are not presented?”. Here is an attempt to develop a method of boat acceleration modelling. |
