Abstract:
This book introduces engineering principles into the sport of rowing by the integration of rower biomechanics, stroke style, and blade hydrodynamics to improve the rowing performance in the sport. The book starts with an essential overview of rowing, covering its history, governing organizations, and the stroke phases. It looks into the biomechanical and hydrodynamic aspects, emphasizing different body segments and stroke styles contributing to rower performance. Key performance parameters are discussed, such as peak force, stroke rate, and hydrodynamic force. It also highlights the utilization of dynamic rowing simulators and specialized sensors to collect crucial performance assessment and improvement data. By addressing the engineering aspects of the sport, the book offers the potential for performance enhancement, ultimately benefiting the rowing community and advancing sports science.
