Visual and auditory / acoustic feedback to optimise rowing technique and boat acceleration
Schaffert's presentation followed on from Matte. Here she saught to bring to the attention of coaches the science behind listening to the boat run. In particular, the causal relationship between movement and sould. He presentation, the ‘Visual and auditory/acoustic feedback to optimise rowing technique and boat acceleration’ looked at this relationship and how a crews perception of it can be enhanced. Key points in Schaffer's presentation: - Sonification: The synthetic transformation of data from the boat's movement into sound. - The Accrow system used by the German team boats. This creates a specific sound which reacts to each phase and rhytm of the stroke there by creating an intuitive understanding of how the boat is moving. The results of which, Shaffer...
