Rowing guide

OVER REACHING FORWARD

• Wrong:
  • The body stretches too far forward. The head and the shoulders tend to drop towards the feet. The body is in a weak position for the stroke.
• Correct:
  • The body is pressed up to the legs. The arms are fully extended and relaxed, body tilted slightly forward.

BENT WRIST

• Wrong:
  • Start the stroke by pulling with the arms rather than pushing with the legs
• Correct:
  • Start the stroke by pushing the leg and bracing the back with the arms fully extended.

ROWING WITH ARMBEND

• Wrong:
  • The user bends his wrists at any time during the stroke
• Correct:
  • Always row with flat wrists through the entire stroke

LOCKING THE KNEES

• Wrong:
  • Knees are locked and the legs are straight at the end of the stroke.
• Correct:
  • Always keep the legs slightly bend in the fully extended position. Refrain from kneelocking.

Training manual

Exercising with this rower enables a perfect movement training for strengthening important muscle groups and the cardio-circulatory system.

General notes for Training

Training frequency

To improve physical fitness and to enhance long term condition, we recommend to train at least three times a week. This is the average training frequency for an adult in order to obtain long-term condition success or high fat burning. As your fitness level increases, you can also train daily. It is particularly important to train in regular intervals.

raining intensity

• Carefully structure your training. Training intensity should be increased gradually, so that no fatigue phenomenon of the musculature or the locomotion system occurs.

Heartrate orientated training

• For your personal pulse zone it is recommended that an aerobic training range is chosen. Performance increases in the endurance range are principally achieved by long training units in the aerobic range.
• Find this zone in the target pulse diagram or be guieded by the pulse programs.
• You should complete 80 % of your training time in this aerobic range (up to 75 % of your maximum pulse).
• In the remaining 20% of the time, you can incorporate load peaks, in order to shift your aerobic threshold upwards. With the resulting training success you can then later produce higher performance at the same pulse, meaning an improvement of your physical shape.
• If you already have some experience in pulse-controlled training, you can match your desired pulse zone to your special training plan or fitness status.

Note

• Because there are persons who have „high“ and „low“ pulses, the individual optimum pulse zones (aerobic zone, anaerobic zone) may differ from those of the general public (target pulse diagram).
• In these cases, training must be configured according to individual experience.
• If beginners are confronted with this phenomenon, it is important that a physician is consulted before trainig start in order to check health capacity for training.

Training control

• Both medically and in terms of training physiology, pulse-controlled training makes most sense and is oriented on the individual maximum pulse.
• This rule applies both to beginners, ambitious recreational athletes and to pros. Depending on the goal of training and performance status, training is done at a specific intensity of individual maximum pulse (expressed in percentage points).
• In order to effectively configure cardio-circulatory training according to sports-medical aspects, we recommend a training pulse rate of 70 % – 85 % of maximum pulse. Please refer to the following target pulse diagram.

Measure your pulse rate at the following points in time:

1. Before training = resting pulse
2. 10 minutes after starting training = training / working pulse
3. One minute after training = recovery pulse
   • During the first weeks, it is recommended that training is done at a pulse rate at the lower limit of the training pulse zone (approximately 70 %) or lower.
   • During the next 2 – 4 months, intensify training stepwise until you reach the upper end of the training pulse zone (approximately 85 %), but without overexerting yourself.
   • If you are in good training condition, disperse easier units in the lower aerobic range here and there in the training programs so that you regenerate sufficiently. „Good“ training always means training intelligently, which includes regeneration at the right time. Otherwise overtraining results and your form degenerates.
   • Every loading training unit in the upper pulse range of individual performance should always be followed in subsequent training session by a regenerative training unit in the lower pulse range (up to 75 % of the maximum pulse).

When condition has improved, higher intensity of training is required in order for the pulse rate in order to reach the „training zone“; that is, the organism is capable of higher performance. You will realize the result of improved condition by a higher fitness score (F1 – F6).

Calculation of the training / working pulse

• 220 pulse beats per minute minus age = personal, maximum heart rate (100 %).

Training pulse

• Lower limit: (220 – age) x 0.70
• Upper limit: (220 – age) x 0.85

Training duration

• Every training unit should ideally consist of a warm-up phase, a training phase, and a cool-down phase in order to prevent injuries.

Warm-up:

• 5 to 10 minutes of calisthenics or stretching (also slow rowing).

Training:

• 15 to 40 minutes of intensive or not overtaxing training at the intensity mentioned above.

Cool-down

• 5 to 10 minutes of slow rowing,
• Stop training immediately if you feel unwell or if any signs of overexertion occur.

Alterations of metabolic activity during training:

• In the first 10 minutes of endurance performance our bodies consume the sugars (Glycogen) stored in our muscles.
• After about 10 minutes fat is burned in addition.
• After 30 – 40 minutes fat metabolism is activated, then the body‘s fat is the main source of energy
