The metabolic requirements for energy in rowing depend on the phase of the race. Rowers need enormous amounts of anaerobic energy at the beginning of the race while aerobic energy…

VO2max (maximal oxygen consumption) refers to the amount of oxygen that can be consumed within 1 minute – this value has been called the absolute VO2max and this parameter is…

Maximal aerobic power refers to the power output that the rower can generate using mainly aerobic energy pathways. It is a power output that corresponds to the maximal oxygen consumption…

Control of the individual anaerobic thresholds is best done in the boat (or on the rowing ergometer) using various constant, at least 30 minutes long intensities, and a portable lactate…
