ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to examine several biomechanical variables in relation to boat velocity and acceleration, in conjunction with body segment movement strategies, of a LW and HW crew exhibiting dissimilar force production, yet similar average boat velocity in a race situation. It was envisioned that analysis of these variables would enable the identification of distinctive aspects of crew technique that may be significant in rowing performance. A better understanding of such strategies utilised by more efficient crews producing less force may be used in development of improved technique in all crews.
