    Totally Oarsome…

    Leander New s Leander Club Newslette r Winter 2010 Totally Oarsome… Leander has had another very strong year in 2010. We have produced winning crews at every level and with the World Championships less than a week away, there is promise of yet more success for Leander athletes and coaches in New Zealand. These Championships are two months later than usual to fit in with the New Zealand summer, and as a result it seems strange to be reflecting on the season thus far when it is not yet finished. One of the positives of this situation is that it reduces the amount of winter training that many of us will have to do for the 2011 season! The most recent addition to the team is Beijing silver medallist Debbie Flood, who following a training camp in Germany has been confirmed as competing in the women’s quad - the boat in which she has twice won silver at successive Olympic Games.

    THE ROWPERFECT ERGOMETER: A TRAINING AID FOR ON-WATER SINGLE SCULL ROWING Bruce Elliott1, Andrew Lyttle2, and Olivia Birkett1 1 The Department of Human Movement and Exercise Science, The University of Western Australia, Perth, WA, Australia 2The Western Australian Institute of Sport, Perth, WA, Australia Running Head: Ergometer and on-water rowing Keywords: force curves, rowing, training aid Date of Submission: August, 2001 Corresponding Author Professor Bruce Elliott Department of Human Movement and Exercise Science The University of Western Australia 35 Crawley Perth WA 6009 Australia PH: 61 8 9380 2374 [email protected] 2 Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare rowing technique on the dynamic RowPerfect ergometer with a single scull. Eight national level rowers, performed on both the RowPerfect ergometer and in a single scull over 500 m, at rates of 24, 26 and 28 strokes/minute. Blade force and oar angle (on-water) and handle force and stroke length (on the ergometer) were measured. Both force and stroke angle/length were normalised from 0-100 (where 100 was the peak value). Body positions of the subjects at both the catch and finish of each of these rowing strokes were also compared for each stroke rate. The coefficient of multiple determination (CMD) was used to measure the consistency of force curves over a sample of five sequential strokes for each rower. Cross-correlations were performed between the left and right side on-water sculling force curves and a mean of these values with the ergometer curve for each rower. Stroke angle/length, which did not vary with rate, was similar for both forms of rowing.

    Rob Waddell Discipline: Rowing Specialist Events: Single Scull

    CHAT with a Olympic Education CHAMPION Rob Waddell Discipline: Rowing Specialist events: Single scull Rob Waddell was born in Te Kuiti in 1975 and grew up on a farm in the King Country. He took up rowing while in year ten at Kings College in Auckland. Despite being small and slightly uncoordinated when he started, Rob was determined and soon made it into the school’s top rowing team. Rob also showed all-round ability by playing in his school’s First XV rugby team. As a 17 year old, Rob made the New Zealand junior rowing team. He was asked to try out for the national under-23 team, but declined as he was heading to Japan on a scholarship. In Japan, he learnt Japanese and gained a black belt in judo. Upon his return to New Zealand, he completed an honours degree in management studies at Waikato University, while continuing to row competitively. In 1993, Rob noticed he was having trouble with an irregular heartbeat. He didn’t stop rowing but didn’t want to let his team-mates down during a race. This led him to focus more on single sculling, although he still competed in team events. This change of focus enabled Rob to win the New Zealand single sculls title in 1995. At 20, he was the youngest New Zealand champion ever. In 1996, he won six out of seven national titles. He qualified for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and finished seventh in the final. This was the beginning of an exciting rise through the ranks of world rowers.
