| Summary: | Rowing involves cyclic motions that have a number of similar repetitions of joint
excursion. Similar movement patterns, physiological, muscular activity and biomechanical
aspects were observed while rowing on dynamic ergometer and on water. The purpose
of our study is to evaluate the changes of lower limb kinematics during 2000m rowing
on dynamic ergometer among male junior national rowers. Ten male junior nationallevel
rowers participated in the study. 24 passive reflective markers were attached on
their lower extremity and their rowing motions were captured. Each phases of rowing
cycle was interpolated to 100 time points
separately. The lower limb joint kinematics
were compared across every 500m sections
to evaluate its changes during 2000m rowing
trial. There was a statistically significant
difference between stroke rates for every
500m of 2000m rowing trial as determined
by one-way ANOVA (F(3,36) = 4.880, p
= 0.006). Kinematical variabilities were
observed across splits particularly in frontal
and transverse planes of lower limb joints. |
