Section 3 - Introduction to the Biomechanics of Rowing Introduction to the Biomechanics of Rowing Author: Volker Nolte (GER) When two coaches observe a crew rowing, each will have a different frame of reference. One coach likes to observe the teamwork while the other watches for the power application by the rowers. What is the reason that the two coaches have different points on which to focus? It may be that the two coaches have different concepts of what is the correct technique. It may also be the way the coaches look at the movements. One looks for the movement of the bodies while the other observes the movement of the blades. It could also be that the movements are just too quick and the coaches have no real point of reference. One can learn to see a movement but the question really is which pattern of movement is the correct one? Which parts should be watched in which order and with what emphasis? Can one say that the faster rower utilises the best technique? Questions such as these are fundamental and apply directly to biomechanics. Biomechanics is the science that explores the human patterns of movement with application to physics. Analysis based on physical laws as well as exact measurements have helped develop a stable base of biomechanical knowledge on rowing technique. It is relatively easy to acquire the basic knowledge necessary in biomechanics and be able to describe the biomechanical connections that the rowers can use in rowing practices. This article presents an overview of the biomechanics of rowing and provides suggestions to the coach to apply this information in practices. The Tasks of Biomechanics in
