Abstract

Rowing performance depends on maximization of mechanical power delivered by the rower(s) and minimization of power losses [1]. Though reductions of power losses may increase the average velocity of a boat, traditional feedback methods lack the accuracy to differentiate between small variations in this power losses. Therefore, we developed a feedback tool to provide real-time feedback about power parameters related to rowing. The current study evaluated the efficacy-with respect to velocity fluctuation power losses-of the real-time feedback on the power loss due to velocity fluctuations compared to the efficacy of traditional feedback.

Highlights

  • Rowing performance depends on maximization of mechanical power delivered by the rower(s) and minimization of power losses [1]

  • The current study evaluated the efficacy-with respect to velocity fluctuation power losses-of the real-time feedback on the power loss due to velocity fluctuations compared to the efficacy of traditional feedback

  • Multilevel analyses revealed that neither traditional coach feedback nor real-time feedback from the application resulted in a significant decrease of velocity fluctuations due to power loss
