About Training
A structured training program is crucial towards achieving your goals. The program should allow for a progression in training loads, include a variety of workouts (changing intensity and volume) as well as a cycle in training (mixing periods of rest with high intensity and volume workouts). Warming up, cooling down, stretching, heart rate training and monitoring progress are other fundamental aspects of a structured training program.
Training for rowing can be separated into the following topics:
1) Know the Goal 2) Warm Up & Cool Down 3) Stretching 4) The Workout 5) Heart Rate Training 6) Monitoring Progress in later module |
Training for rowing is predominantly
endurance (aerobic) based. This includes rowing for long durations
(30 up to 120min) at a steady state (60-70% intensity). Strength, power, skill
and flexibility are other key elements to rowing training; these are
achieved by including cross training exercises such as weights,
stretching, other forms of exercise as well practicing rowing technique.
