Rowing
Originally practiced during Ancient Egyptian times, rowing is gradually becoming more popular as a sport and fitness activity in the United States. To participate in a race, the crews go out onto the water and pile into a boat. As the members strongly push against the water with their oars, the force allows them to move faster. While rowing, it is essential that the team is synchronized to help create perfect flow of movement. Additionally, team members must be consistent with their speed throughout the contest. Prior to the competition, the team players must train and practice in order to be energized and well planned for their challenge.
Preparation
To be a successful rower, it is essential to be physically fit. A few examples for potential practice include aerobic endurance fitness, anaerobic fitness, or regular training. Aerobic fitness will help a rower maintain intensity throughout the competition whereas anaerobic will improve strength and power, which helps maintain high force when using the oars. On the other hand, typical training that includes planning specific goals will help all areas of rowing. A physical therapist can help with arrangement while providing advice on workout plans, stretches, and exercises.
