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?
Here we address common questions from coaches, such as: “Why do some rowers show high wattage with the Peach system but are not successful in small boats or seat racing?” and “How can telemetry be used for 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.
the Peach system produces basic biomechanical data about oar angles, forces, and rowing power, although these may be overestimated? The BioRow system 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.
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 /chatbiorow/ and ask your questions. Your feedback would be greatlly appreciated.
The first BioRow Rowing Speed and Rigging Chart was created in 2009, and recently, the chart has been divided into several simpler, more logical sections and stylistically redeveloped using the latest technologies. New online tools have also been added, implementing the latest BioRow studies: /online_services/
New BioRow Pitch Meter so that it can now be mounted directly on the blade to measure its pitch angle in degrees. The original function of measuring pitch at the pin remains available.
