“…The IT was performed on a remoergometer (Concept2 Model D, PM5 monitor) using a drag factor of 117–119. The IT started with 100 watts (W) and was increased by 35 W every minute until exhaustion or the impossibility of maintaining the requested power ( Mekhdieva, Zakharova & Timokhina, 2019 ). Two experienced investigators monitored the test.…”

“…To determine the ventilatory parameters in rowers (aerobic component), specifically the VO 2max , the gold standard used is the incremental test (IT) on the rowing machine ( Mekhdieva, Zakharova & Timokhina, 2019 ). In parallel, during any test (especially during the IT), the rowing meter allows for measuring mechanical parameters, including power output (PO) ( Bourdin, Messonnier & Lacour, 2004 ), a physical determinant factor in the performance of rowers ( Bourdin et al, 2017 ).…”

Background The 6-minute rowing ergometer test (6-minRT) is valid and reliable for establishing maximal aerobic power (MAP) in amateur male rowers. However, ventilatory thresholds (VTs) have not yet been established with their mechanical correspondence in this test. Objective The primary objective was to determine the VTs in the 6-minRT achieved by amateur male rowers, while the secondary objective was to determine the correspondence between ventilatory, mechanical, and heart rate (HR) outcomes of the 6-minRT. Methods Sixteen amateur male rowers were part of the study. All participants were instructed to perform an incremental test (IT) and a 6-minRT. Determination of the ventilatory parameters for the first ventilatory threshold (VT1), the second ventilatory threshold (VT2), and 6minRTVO2max were performed by correlating the outcomes of VT1, VT2, and VO2max obtained in the IT, with the outcomes of 6-minRT. For these purposes, Pearson’s test was used, with the following criteria: trivial, <0.1; small, 0.1–0.3; moderate, 0.3–0.5; high, 0.5–0.7; very high, 0.7–0.9; or practically perfect, >0.9. The significance level was p < 0.05. Results The IT analysis determined that VT1 and VT2 correspond to 55 and 80% of VO2max, respectively. A high correlation was observed between IT outcomes in VT1, VT2, and VO2max, with the outcomes of 6-minRT (r > 0.6). Conclusion Based on IT ventilatory parameters and concordance analysis, VT1 and VT2 of 6-minRT are determined at 55 and 80%, respectively, of both ventilatory parameters and their corresponding mechanical outcomes and HR.

“…VO 2max , RER, VE, and carbon dioxide production/oxygen consumption (VCO 2 /VO 2 ) was performed with an IT in a rower-ergometer. Each step lasted 1 min in this IT, starting with 100 watts (W) and increasing 50 W in each step until exhaustion or the impossibility of maintaining the requested power ( Mekhdieva, Zakharova & Timokhina, 2019 ). The IT was performed on a rowing machine (Concept2 Model D, monitor PM5; Concept2, Morrisville, VT, USA) using a drag factor of 111–114.…”

Background Standardized tests are currently available to assess power output in elite rowers. However, there are no valid and reliable tests to assess power output in amateur rowers. Objective This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of a 6-min rowing ergometer test (6-minRT) as a predictor of power output (PO) in amateur male rowers. Methods Twelve male amateur rowers were part of the study. All participants were instructed to perform an incremental test (IT), a 6-minRT test, and a retest. The validity of the 6-minRT was determined by comparing maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and power output (PO) between the IT and 6-minRT. Reliability included the coefficient of variation (CV), intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), and mean standard error between the 6-minRT test and retest. The significance level was p < 0.05. Results There was no significant difference in VO2max in both IT and 6-minRT (p = 0.18), while the mean power output (Pmean) generated in the 6-minRT equaled 91.96% of the maximal aerobic power (MAP) generated in the IT (p = 0.004). Reliability analysis for the 6-minRT showed a CV = 0.50% and ICC = 0.97 for distance, a CV = 1.85% and ICC = 0.96 for Pmean. Conclusion From a ventilatory and mechanical point of view, the 6-minRT is a maximally valid test for establishing MAP in amateur rowers. Also, the 6-minRT evidences a high degree of agreement between days. Therefore, the 6-minRT is a valid and reliable test for assessing PO in amateur male rowers.

Aerobik ve anaerobik kapasitenin yanı sıra laktat toleransı ve gücün de ön planda olduğu kürek sporunda, müsabakalar her ne kadar kısa sürede tamamlansa da bu yoğun performans için ciddi bir antrenman süreci gereklidir. 1 Ayrıca kürek gibi sıklet sınırlaması olan sporlarda kilo kontrolü, her müsabaka dönemi geldiğinde antrenör ve sporcular tara-fından dikkat edilmesi gereken unsurlardan biridir. 2 Yoğun bir antrenman temposu içerisindeki sporcular, vücut kompozisyonunun önemi göz ardı edilmeden yeterli bir beslenme programı ile desteklenmelidir. Yapılan çalışmalar, beslenme üzerinde yapılan değişikliklerin sporcuların stres kontrolünü ve yarış performansını artırdığını göstermektedir. 3,4
