Monitoring rowers to determine under-performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Over the past few years, training load and performance in competition has continuously increased and is fraught with risk to result in the accumulation of fatiguing conditions. The coach determines training success by controlling boat speed, performance, power and soft parameters like stability of rowing technique, capacity to teamwork, and mood state. However, in team sports like rowing, monitoring of individual rowers fatigue to optimize regeneration is difficult. While training should voluntarily cause acute fatigue, the accumulation of training leads to more severe fatigue, which is called “overreaching”. When fatigue is more prolonged and recovery is impaired, the condition is defined as “non-functional overreaching” ending in a primarily unexplained, long-term, and unplanned decreasing performance, a condition defined as “Unexplained Underperformance Syndrome” (UUPS) or “overtraining syndrome” (OTS). Good standards and appropriate markers for diagnosis and treatment are currently lacking.

Impact of iron depletion without anemia on performance in trained endurance athletes at the beginning of a training season: a study of female collegiate rowers.
The objective of this study was to determine the impact of iron depletion without anemia on performance in a sample of female collegiate rowers at the beginning of a training season (August 2008, January 2009, and September 2009). One hundred sixty-five female collegiate rowers from 5 colleges and universities in central New York State participated in a screening of iron status. Blood hemoglobi...
متن کاملDevelopment of a specific index to detect malnutrition in athletes: Validity in weight class or intermittent fasted athletes
Fasted or weight-category athletes manage their training under strict diet conditions that could impair the stress-recovery balance and result in acute or chronic fatigue. However, to date, no validated biomarker are available to quantify this phenomena. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of a specific index combining plasma albumin and weight change to detect nutrition-related ri...
متن کاملRelationship between 2000-m rowing ergometer performance times and World Rowing Championships rankings in elite-standard rowers.
In this study, we evaluated the extent to which 2000-m rowing ergometer performance times predicted final rankings at the World Rowing Championships in a sample of 638 rowers of both sexes and body-mass classifications (i.e., open-category and lightweight rowers). Rowing ergometer performance times were examined using a questionnaire, and in 17 of 23 events they were positively correlated (P < ...
متن کاملThe effects of high-intensity interval training in well-trained rowers.
PURPOSE Several recent studies have reported substantial performance and physiological gains in well-trained endurance runners, swimmers, and cyclists following a period of high-intensity interval training (HIT). The aim of the current study was to compare traditional rowing training (CT) to HIT in well-trained rowers. METHODS Subjects included 5 male and 5 female rowers (mean +/- SD; age = 1...
