Most research on real-time feedback focus on the development of visual feedback. However, as rowing is a very rhythmic sport in which athletes have to synchronize with each other in order to perform, auditory feedback may improve performance as well. In previous research (e.g. Sigrist et al., 2013) it is even suggested that well developed auditory feedback may […]
In rowing it is often assumed that synchrony between rowers in crewed boats will improve performance. In practice this means that coaches often tell the rowers to move the boat together and that the strokes will feel ‘heavy’ if the rowers do not move in synchrony. But what does this synchrony mean in biomechanical terms? […]
Last week, we tested our latest update of our rowing feedback system. Instead of using bluetooth, we now send data from Peach oarlocks via WIFI to samsung smartphones. The big advantage is that the system is much more stable and that we can receive data from the boat when cycling next to it (50-75 meters away […]
Vrijdag 7 april organiseerde het Sports Engineering Institute van de TU Delft een congres waarin Nederlandse sportonderzoekers updates gaven over hun laatste bevindingen. Ook het roeien kwam aan bod: Lotte Lintmeijer hield een praatje waarin zij uitlegde wat het effect van real-time feedback over geleverd vermogen op de trainingsintensiteit van roeiers in meermansboten is. Lieke Schiphof-Godart schreef een verslag […]
Bij deze lanceren wij de rowing development tracker community! Dit is een open source forum met als doel het ontwikkelen van applicaties om trainingen en roeiers beter te monitoren. Jelte Doeksen (topstagair KNRB) heeft op het forum een aftrap gedaan door zijn code voor een ‘eerste versie monitor applicatie’ beschikbaar te stellen. Met deze code is […]
In this interesting article of Twan ten Haaf (VU), the researches tested whether they could distinguish athletes that are functional overreached from athletes that are just tired from a training using physiological and psychological parameters. They conclude that only two simple visual analogue scales are required to monitor and identify athletes to become functional overreached. Therefore the […]
