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. |

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. |
