The Nature of Rowing- Naturally Even Stroke
This provides for a naturally even stroke and allows the oarsperson to recruit all three major muscle groups to contribute to the propulsion of the boat. The three major muscle groups - the legs, torso and arms - are recruited sequentially and in proportion to their strength, generating a uniform aerobic load and optimizing the exercise benefit. Rowing is a continuous, even stroke there is no start or finish, the motion of the handle replicates the motion of a bicycle chain, there is no stopping at any point. |

When rowing, the
oarsperson does not work to overcome a resistance which would typically
fade as it is overcome. They work to accelerate the mass of the boat and
crew. This mass does not change through the stroke,
it is the same from beginning to end.
