The Effect Of Pacing Strategy On 2000 M Rowing Ergometer Performance In Well-Trained Male And Female Rowers, Ryan A. Clegg
The Effect Of Pacing Strategy On 2000 M Rowing Ergometer Performance In Well-Trained Male And Female Rowers, Ryan A. Clegg
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The purpose of this study was to determine whether an Even pacing strategy would be more optimal than the traditional fast-starting parabolic strategy in a 2000 m rowing race. 13 collegiate level rowers completed two 2000 m pacing strategies; one Evenly paced, and the other a traditional On Water strategy. Neither pacing strategy demonstrated differences in performance. This finding was consistent across sexes and experience levels. Males demonstrated significant correlations with an Even pacing strategy and 6000 m performance (EP p=0.001). Females showed significant correlation between both strategies and 6000 m performance, plus peak power and the On Water strategy …
The Impact Of Palm Cooling Gloves On Cardiovascular, Thermoregulatory, Metabolic, Perceptual, And Ergogenic Responses Produced From Rowing Ergometry., Ian O'Brien
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Subjects (n = 34) did three rowing workouts of up to eight 2- minute stages separated by 45-60 second rests. Cardiovascular, ergogenic, thermoregulatory, perceptual and metabolic responses to workouts may be aided by intermittent palm cooling. Subjects received one of the following treatments per workout in a randomized sequence: no palm cooling, intermittent palm cooling during workouts, or palm cooling applied intermittently during workouts and post-exercise recovery. Methods: Palm cooling entailed intermittent cold (8-11o C) against the palmar surface of subject’s hands. Workouts began with 10 minutes of rest, followed by a 10-minute low- intensity warm-up and the workout, concluding …
Performing 30 Second Weight Training Bouts For Five Weeks Decreases 2000 M Ergometer Times In Collegiate Rowers, Andre Beven Pelletier
Performing 30 Second Weight Training Bouts For Five Weeks Decreases 2000 M Ergometer Times In Collegiate Rowers, Andre Beven Pelletier
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This study investigated the effects of performing 30 second weight training bouts (30 s) on peak aerobic power, 2000 m time and peak and mean 1 min power output, compared to those of a low repetition strength training program (LoRep), in pre-conditioned well-trained male and female collegiate rowers while concurrently performing a high volume of endurance training over an identical five week period. The 30 s group mean 2000 m time was significantly reduced pre-to-post training by 1.0% (±1.3) (30 s: pre = 6:45.3 (±35.3), post = 6:41.2 (±32.7), P ≤ 0.05) while LoRep group mean 2000 m time was …
Kinematic Analysis Of Trunk Coordination Throughout The Rowing Stroke Sequence, Mcdaragh Rose Minnock
Kinematic Analysis Of Trunk Coordination Throughout The Rowing Stroke Sequence, Mcdaragh Rose Minnock
Masters Theses
Rowing at the elite level requires proper sequencing of the rowing stroke so that the rower is able to produce an efficient stroke while protecting oneself from potential injuries. The cyclic motion of the rowing stroke sequence at low loads often results in overuse injuries, specifically in the lower back. Kinematic data of rower’s pelvis-lumbar-thoracic spine were collected using inertial measurement sensors. An incremental step-test was conducted to observe the influence of increasing intensities on the lumbar-pelvis and lumbar-thoracic segments coordination and coordination variability. This study provides a new way of quantifying rowing kinematics using vector coding. The vector coding …
Influence Of Athlete Heart Rate, Rate Of Perceived Exertion, And Anxiety In Rowing Practice And Competition, Katherine Skrlj Krengel
Influence Of Athlete Heart Rate, Rate Of Perceived Exertion, And Anxiety In Rowing Practice And Competition, Katherine Skrlj Krengel
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a significant correlation between heart rate (HR) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) in rowing, how athlete perception of pre-race anxiety relates to HR and RPE, and how these variables change between practice and competition. Four subjects were tested over the course of their rowing season for somatic and cognitive anxiety, self-confidence, HR, and RPE in three different 2000 meter racing conditions: indoor ergometer, on-water racing, and on-water practice. There was no correlation between HR and RPE, and only maximum HR showed a difference between trial types. Studying more …
Low Back Pain In Schoolgirl Rowers: Prevalence, Bio-Psycho-Social Factors And Prevention, Debra Perich
Low Back Pain In Schoolgirl Rowers: Prevalence, Bio-Psycho-Social Factors And Prevention, Debra Perich
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Rowing is one of the largest participant sports on the Independent Girls‟ Schools Sporting Association (IGSSA) in Western Australia with approximately 400 participants competing every year. Rowing is an extra-curricular sport offered to girls 14 years of age and above, with these girls competing and training in both sweep and scull boats. Whilst the benefits of regular physical activity and exercise are well known, musculoskeletal problems have been documented in rowing. In particular, clinical evidence and previous research suggests that low back pain (LBP) is common in rowers. Adolescents who suffer from LBP are at an increased risk of recurrent …
Force And Electromyographic Responses To Ergometer Rowing, Darryl A. Turner
Force And Electromyographic Responses To Ergometer Rowing, Darryl A. Turner
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
During many athletic events, fatigue influences the physiological and biomechanical characteristics of performance. For optimal performance in events such as rowing, athletes must maintain a skilfully co-ordinated movement technique. The ability to produce high force outputs during repetitive contractions is influenced by fatigue and dependent on a number of factors including neuromuscular activities. Neuromuscular activation may be expressed by amplitude and frequency characteristics of the electromyographic signal (EMG) sample from the muscle. During sustained isometric contractions, changes in EMG characteristics are related to changes in force, which may be useful in monitoring the fatigue process (Basmajian, 1974: De Luca, 1985). …
