| Summary: | The rowing performance depends on how fast the boat moves during the race, contributed by the generated forces and rower kinematic. Based on that interest, the objective of the study is to investigate the kinematics during a stroke by including the generated forces and related speed. The study was carried out using a dynamic rowing simulator which simplified the rowing boat and mimicked the rowing biomechanics and the hydrodynamic condition. The experimental result found that extending the legs generated a higher force to boost the speed. Using legs, trunk and arms in their overlapping motion helps the rower instantly reach the peak effort and maintain the pressure. About 496–539 N of the handle forces were captured by the simulator, which generated a blade force peak between 222 and 234 N, with the average peak force achieved for these three strokes being 46% of the drive. The oar angular speed captured was from 1 to 1.5 rad/s. In return, accelerate the boat at two m/s for 25–27 stroke/min rowing stroke. In conclusion, the combination of the kinematic, force and speed related to the rowing during the stroke is important to consider during the study. The effect of rower kinematic can be observed directly in the forces generated and associated speeds. |
