Abstract

The purpose of this study was to propose a systematic method for the identification of training strategies and team selection using isoperformance curves. Rowing is a sport that relies on both aerobic and anaerobic energy contributions during a standard 2,000 m competition. The critical velocity model combines both aerobic (critical velocity, CV) and anaerobic (anaerobic rowing capacity, ARC) parameters in a single two-dimensional graphic display. The concept of isoperformance curves, a series of linear equations corresponding to minimum performance standards, allows for an objective overview of a large group of athletes of varying talent. The purpose of this study was to develop physiological profiles from the CV test, and to evaluate results with isoperformance curves to identify training strategies for collegiate rowers. Thirty-five female collegiate rowers completed four time trials over various distances (400, 600, 800, and 1,000 m). CV and ARC were calculated and compared between novice and varsity athletes. CV values for the varsity group were significantly higher than the novice group (P = 0.016). No significant differences were found between groups for ARC (P = 0.068). Mean and individual CV and ARC values were plotted on the x- and y-axes, respectively, and junior, collegiate, and elite isoperformance curves were developed using 2,000 m times from recent indoor rowing competitions. Stratification of athletes through isoperformance curves was used to identify specific training interventions (anaerobic and/or aerobic) needed to improve their 2,000 m performance. The information drawn from isoperformance curves and the parameters of the CV test can be used to provide an objective view of physiological capabilities and training needs on both an individual and team basis.

Abstract

The article narrates the events during the 8th National Women's Rowing Championships in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's Schuylkill banks where the best American women rowers competed in 19 different classes last June 16, 1973. The Radcliffe team was pitted against the Princeton eight whose average weight was143 pounds and used a men's standard lightweight shell, and the Vesper Boat Club Crew made up of nurses, lab technicians and physical education graduate students. The Vesper team was defeated by a group of college girls from Radcliffe University.

Abstract

The article focuses on the Women's Boat Race held in Thames River, England which was participated by eight crews from Oxford and Cambridge. It mentions that the face-off of the teams on March 30, 2014 will be the last time that they will compete from the men and from the different stretch of the river. It discusses the intervention of investment bank Newton Investment Management to the race starting in 2015, in which women will be required to race shortly before the men during championships.

Abstract

The article focuses on Russian rower Irina Fedotova. In 1998, she swept all three events at the Krombacher World Cup and went on to win the title in the world championship in Cologne, Germany. In following years, she won medals at World Cup and Olympic events in both the single and the quad. In 2006, her boat was eliminated from the World Championship after teammate Olga Samulenkova tested positive for doping.
