The Effect Of Pacing Strategy On 2000 M Rowing Ergometer Performance In Well-Trained Male And Female Rowers, Ryan A. Clegg Sep 2020

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 …


Performing 30 Second Weight Training Bouts For Five Weeks Decreases 2000 M Ergometer Times In Collegiate Rowers, Andre Beven Pelletier Jun 2018

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 …
