“…In the latter study, the drag factor of Concept 2 ergometer was set to simulate rowing in Trainera. These data are very similar to the study conducted by Mejuto et al (2012), where rowers were an average age of 25.8±4.3 years old. In other studies found on fixed seat rowing, rowers were still younger González, Santiesteban, & Ainz, 1996;Lorenzo-Buceta & García-Soidán, 2015).…”

Rowing is considered one of the most complete sports in relation to physical and physiological demands, therefore training is one of its main research line. However, there is no scientific evidence of studies that relate training characteristics and experience with performance in competition. The aim of this study was to relate high and low performance rowers' experience and training characteristics of non-Olympic rowing modalities. A group of 115 male rowers from the Spanish National Championships volunteered to participate in the study. Age, experience, training days per week and training hours per day were obtained for each rower. For high performance group, inrigger is characterized by rowers who train significantly more days per week (6.93±0.26 days) and more hours per day (4.13±1.33 hours) than low performance rowers (5.96±0.87 days and 2.12±0.67 hours). On the other hand, high performance fixed seat rowers are significantly more experienced (11.65±5.11 years) than low performance rowers (7.56±7.04 years). Furthermore, they train significantly more days per week (6.43±0.66 days) than low performance fixed seat rowers (4.80±1.40 days). Therefore, this research concludes that there is a direct relationship of these variables with performance in different modalities, which highlights the usefulness of the results for coaches for the implementation of training programs and selection of rowers for best results competition.

“…Other authors demonstrated that a male rower, a winner of numerous medals at the Olympic Games and World Championships, attained VO2max of 6.26±0.05 l/min ( Lacour et al, 2009 ), whereas the mean value obtained for world elite quadruple scull rowers was 6.62 l/min (the highest individual value was 6.97 l/min) ( Mikulic, 2011 ). As indicated by a number of reports from studies of female and male rowers ( Klusiewicz et al, 1999 ; Lacour et al, 2009 ; Mejuto et al, 2012 ; Secher et al, 1982 ) maximal oxygen uptake is of high diagnostic value when it is expressed in absolute values (l/min) or – in case of lightweight athletes whose body mass is strictly regulated and stable – in relative values (ml/kg/min).…”

The aim of this study was to characterize changes in maximal oxygen uptake over several years and to elaborate current reference values of this index based on determinations carried out in large and representative groups of top Polish rowers. For this study 81 female and 159 male rowers from the sub-junior to senior categories were recruited from the Polish National Team and its direct backup. All the subjects performed an incremental exercise test on a rowing ergometer. During the test maximal oxygen uptake was measured with the BxB method. The calculated reference values for elite Polish junior and U23 rowers allowed to evaluate the athletes’ fitness level against the respective reference group and may aid the coach in controlling the training process. Mean values of VO2max achieved by members of the top Polish rowing crews who over the last five years competed in the Olympic Games or World Championships were also presented. The results of the research on the “trainability” of the maximal oxygen uptake may lead to a conclusion that the growth rate of the index is larger in case of high-level athletes and that the index (in absolute values) increases significantly between the age of 19–22 years (U23 category).

“…The test was performed with stages of 3 min of progressive intensity until fatigue with rest intervals of 30 s between stages in order to obtain samples of LA in the lobe of the ear. The initial workload was 100 W. Once the test started and at each stage, the rower was asked to maintain the constant intensity (W) and constant strokes [41]. The intensity was increased by 40 W in each subsequent stage until exhaustion.…”

Creatine monohydrate (CrM) and β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate (HMB) are common ergogenic aids in the field of sports and are frequently used in an isolated way. However, there are a few studies that have investigated the effect of combining both supplements on different variables related to performance, with controversial results. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and the degree of potentiation of 10 weeks of CrM plus HMB supplementation on sports performance, which was measured by an incremental test to exhaustion in elite male traditional rowers. In this placebo-controlled, double-blind trial, 10-week study, participants (n = 28) were randomized to a placebo group (PLG; n = 7), CrM group (0.04 g/kg/day of CrM; n = 7), HMB group (3 g/day of HMB; n = 7) and CrM-HMB group (0.04 g/kg/day of CrM plus 3 g/day of HMB; n = 7). Before and after 10 weeks of different treatments, an incremental test was performed on a rowing ergometer to calculate the power that each rower obtained at the anaerobic threshold (WAT), and at 4 mmol (W4) and 8 mmol (W8) of blood lactate concentration. There were no significant differences in WAT and W4 among groups or in body composition. However, it was observed that the aerobic power achieved at W8 was significantly higher in the CrM-HMB group than in the PLG, CrM and HMB groups (p < 0.001; η2p = 0.766). Likewise, a synergistic effect of combined supplementation was found for the sum of the two supplements separately at WAT (CrM-HMBG = 403.19% vs. CrMG+HMBG = 337.52%), W4 (CrM-HMBG = 2736.17% vs. CrMG+HMBG = 1705.32%) and W8 (CrM-HMBG = 1293.4% vs. CrMG+HMBG = 877.56%). In summary, CrM plus HMB supplementation over 10 weeks showed a synergistic effect on aerobic power (measured as WAT, W4, and W8) during an incremental test but had no influence muscle mass.
