Movement competency combines fundamental patterns and movement quality that enables the confident and competent execution of activities, sports and everyday tasks. This perspectives article addresses the lack of a clear definition and guidelines relating to […]
Coxing is a highly specialised skillset in the sport of rowing which has received limited research to date. The aim of this study was to explore what elite coxswains say during rowing races. The study […]
Research Impact: Six world-class Chinese male rowers participated in the study. The training volume in different modalities and intensities were recorded over 44 weeks. To evaluate rowing performance, rowers completed four 2000 m and 5000 […]
Research Impact: High-repetition strength training (HRST) is resistance training that involves loads that are ≤67% of an individual’s one-repetition maximum for ≥12 repetitions and is typically performed using short rest periods of ≤30 seconds. HRST […]
As The vaccine roll out is gathering pace and a return to competitive sport is looking closer than ever, I felt it was time to reflect on my role as the lead coach of the […]
Research Impact: The overall aim of this consensus statement was to inform clinical decisions and standards of care in order to reduce the long-term effects of low back pain (LBP) on rowers. This consensus statement […]
Summary: This systematic review examines the relationship between rowing related low back pain and rowing biomechanics involving the spine, pelvis and hips. It is one of five components which form part of a ‘2021 consensus […]
