Indoor Rowing For Bone Health
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Indoor rowing is deservedly regarded as a superb method of building cardiovascular fitness and all round muscular endurance, which is great news for anybody wishing to get and stay fit. However, as we become an increasingly ageing population, it’s more important than ever that the exercise we do confers us with health as well as fitness benefits. The bad news is that modern Western societies are facing an unprecedented epidemic of osteoporosis, a bone disease that wreaks havoc in the lives of those it affects. The good news is that new research demonstrates that indoor rowing could be the perfect way to maintain bone health. Andrew Hamilton explains...

Inclined Ergometer to Enhance FES-Assisted Indoor Rowing Exercise Performance
Improving the FES-assisted indoor rowing exercise (FES-rowing) performance enables the spinal cord injury (SCI) people to perform hybrid FES-exercise in a higher level of intensity. High level of exercise volume and intensity can play a big role in prevention of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity which is a significant threat to the health of people with chronic SCI. FES-rowing...
متن کاملModelling and Control of FES-Assisted Indoor Rowing Exercise
This paper presents the development of a model of indoor rowing exercise for paraplegics. Indoor rowing exercise is introduced as a hybrid exercise for restoration of function of lower extremities for paraplegics through the application of functional electrical stimulation (FES). Two stimulated muscle models, quadriceps and hamstrings, are developed for knee extension and flexion. A fuzzy logic...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Qualitative Framework for Indoor Rowing Kinematics Analysis
In this article an outline of a fuzzy qualitative framework for the indoor rowing kinematics analysis have been proposed. Main goal of introducing this fuzzy qualitative framework is to bridge the gap between high level of quantitative details obtained with various present – day sensory or video inputs and symbolic representation used by rowing experts. A Fuzzy qualification process of kinemati...
متن کاملScaling concept II rowing ergometer performance for differences in body mass to better reflect rowing in water.
We investigated whether the concept II indoor rowing ergometer accurately reflects rowing on water. Forty-nine junior elite male rowers from a Great Britain training camp completed a 2000 m concept II model C indoor rowing ergometer test and a water-based 2000 m single-scull rowing test. Rowing speed in water (3.66 m/s) was significantly slower than laboratory-based rowing performance (4.96 m/s...
متن کاملRowing Injuries: An Updated Review.
Although traditionally seen as a sport for elite schools and colleges, rowing is a founding Olympic event and is increasingly enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. The sport's rapidly changing demographics shows significant growth in masters (age 27 years and above) and para-rowing populations. It has further expanded beyond its traditional flatwater format to include the discipline of o...
