Diagnostic of rowing performance and technique to optimise technique training
We were fortunate enough to have Klaus Mattes present on the topic: ‘Diagnostic of rowing performance and technique to optimise technique training’ Mahe Drysdale and Ondrej Synek was used as examples as to how rowers can apply technique under different conditions and importantly, during different segments of the 2000m race, whether it be at the start or in the last 250m.
