- Rowing is a beautiful mixture of endurance and power
- rowing is physically one of the hardest sports because you are using every muscle group
- you need to be strong aerobically as the 2000m event is grueling – nobody comes as a complete package
- you can get a 100Kg sculler on a 40Kg boat
- the perfect rower? being 1.95 – 1.99m in height and weighing 94 – 98Kg can help
- tall people could have an advantage. Also important are strong legs, the trunk and the core
- you have to be fit from head to toe
- it is not only the large muscle groups but the small muscles used to stabilising your core
- important for women – lower body, glutes, hamstrings
- a performing female needs exactly the same characteristics as a performing male does
- a good lightweight rower is longer than he is strong
- just because you are tall does not mean that you are a good rower
- there are short people and there are tall people – both can be good in rowing.
