As the popularity of rowing in mid to late adulthood is increasingly growing, so too has the number of rowing club members and participants in regattas increased. Rowing attracts not only former racing rowers who return to rowing for fitness, health, and competition, but also the many late and lateral entrants who are perhaps competing for the first time. This growing interest in the sport makes it even more important to provide instruction for these masters rowers. Masters Rowing caters to interested beginners learning the sport and adapting their boating equipment, as well as to ambitious masters rowers looking to improve their technique. Within this book, the reader will find tips for fitness training and hints for competition. In addition, the reader will understand the theoretical basics of training and performance development of active but older rowers. Coaches of masters rowers will also be able to take the information in this book and apply it to their athletes training. Furthermore, all training information provided is backed by scientific, specialist research. With Masters Rowing , readers will be able to increase their fitness and hone their skills to compete at their best.
Rowing Science explains and applies up-to-date scientific research across all aspects of the sport to optimize rowing skills and performance, making it essential reading for serious rowers, coaches, and rowing scientists.
