| Rowing | 313 weeks ago | ||
A rower undergoes exactly the same physical strain as a 100m sprinter in 100m of rowing at the start of a 2KM race.Then they have another 1900metres to go. Bugger. The athlete's anerobic threshold, the point at which the body's muscles have exhausted their oxygen store and start burning other fuel. For regular folks, reaching that threshold is quitting time; anaerobic work is 19 times harder than aerobic work. But rowing is all about harder. Elite rowers fire off the start at sprint speed -- 53 strokes per minute. With 95 kilograms of force on the blade end, each stroke is a weightlifter's power clean. Rowers cross their anaerobic threshold with that first stroke. Then there are 225 more to the finish line | |||
