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 […]

Research Impact: Strength and conditioning (S&C) is an essential component of performance enhancement and injury reduction for competitive rowers. However, information regarding the practical application of appropriate S&C programming for competitive rowers is limited. This article […]
ABSTRACT: Asymmetries of the rowing stroke cycle have been assessed with reference to kinematics and foot‐force measures in laboratory testing environments. It remains unclear how asymmetries in propulsive kinetic measures are related to on‐water rowing […]
Abstract Objectives To examine whether the Functional Data Analysis (FDA), Statistical Parametric Mapping(SPM) and Statistical non-Parametric Mapping (SnPM) hypothesis testing techniques differ in their ability to draw inferences in the context of a single, simple experimental […]
