This book introduces engineering principles into the sport of rowing by the integration of rower biomechanics, stroke style, and blade hydrodynamics to improve the rowing performance in the sport. The book starts with an essential overview of rowing, covering its history, governing organizations, and the stroke phases. It looks into the biomechanical and hydrodynamic aspects, emphasizing different body segments and stroke styles contributing to rower performance. Key performance parameters are discussed, such as peak force, stroke rate, and hydrodynamic force. It also highlights the utilization of dynamic rowing simulators and specialized sensors to collect crucial performance assessment and improvement data. By addressing the engineering aspects of the sport, the book offers the potential for performance enhancement, ultimately benefiting the rowing community and advancing sports science.

This work investigates the effects of oar-shaft stiffness and length on rowing biomechanics. The mechanical properties of the oar-shafts were examined using an end-loaded cantilever system, and theoretical relations were proposed between the mechanics of the oar-shafts and rowing performance. On-water experiments were subsequently conducted and rowing biomechanics measured via the PowerLine Rowing Instrumentation System. The PowerLine system measures force and oar angle on the oarlock, as well as proper boat acceleration. The convergent validity and test-retest reliability of the PowerLine force measurements were determined prior to the on-water experiments. Thereafter, rowers were tested over a set distance using oar-shafts of different stiffness and length. There were slight differences in the biomechanics between rowing with the different oar configurations. However, the measured differences in the biomechanical parameters were on the same order of magnitude as the rower's inter-stroke inconsistencies.
