Monitoring rowers to determine under-performance

Monitoring rowers to determine under-performance

Introduction Over the past few years, training load and performance in competition has continuously increased and is fraught with risk to result in the accumulation of fatiguing conditions. The coach determines training success by controlling boat speed, performance, power and soft parameters like stability of rowing technique, capacity to teamwork, and mood state. However, in team sports like ...

Reaction Time Measurement as a Tool for Monitoring Performance in Rowers

Hardware-based performance monitoring with VTune Performance Analyzer under Linux

All new modern processors have hardware support for monitoring processor performance. In this project, we try to explore use of VTune Performance Analyzer for hardware-based performance monitoring of a Linux cluster of Pentium 4 Xeon processors.

Dietary nitrate supplementation improves rowing performance in well-trained rowers.

Increased plasma nitrate concentrations from dietary sources of nitrate have proven to benefit exercise performance. Beetroot (BR) contains relatively high levels of nitrate (NO₃⁻), which increases nitric oxide stores. This study investigated whether dietary nitrate supplementation, in the form of a BR beverage, would improve rowing performance during ergometer repetitions. In a randomized cros...

Training and performance characteristics among Norwegian international rowers 1970-2001.

This study quantified changes in training volume, organization, and physical capacity among Norwegian rowers winning international medals between 1970 and 2001. Twenty-eight athletes were identified (27 alive). Results of physiological testing and performance history were available for all athletes. Twenty-one of 27 athletes responded to a detailed questionnaire regarding their training during ...
