Technique and muscle force.
Abstract
In the sport of rowing, as may be the case in other sports, the coach frequently tends to relate to skills or technical movement in terms of their aesthetic appearance rather than to their kinesiological requirements, or muscular effectiveness. Maximal isometric strength was tested (N = 18) in three components of the rowing stroke: height of sagittal pull; angle of pull in sagittal plane; and the power position in both the catch and the finish. The results of this investigation suggest that certain technical parameters commonly utilized by rowing coaches seem to be less efficient when discussing muscular effectiveness. Thus one might conclude, that slight alterations in the cycle of the rowing stroke are desirable.
