Rowing
is an endurance sport which requires a high level of skill. This skill
is based on the co-ordination of the legs (which create the most amount
of driving force of the rowing action), torso and arms in propelling the
boat across the water. The rowing action comprises of both fast (drive
phase) and slow (recovery phase) movements. Skill is also required in
combining these movements into a rhythm in order to create a smooth,
flowing, unhurried rowing action (what we call in this section ratio and
rhythm).
