Bringing the boat into the lab: Rowing simulation

赛艇模拟器用于赛艇训练、赛艇考核和锻炼。它们对前两种运动的有效性取决于它们对水上赛艇的运动刺激专一性。赛艇模拟器也被用于健身行业的锻炼，在所有应用中，受伤的可能性都应该降到最低。这项研究将通过表征在水上经历的力量和时刻的大小和时机来产生一种关于水上赛艇的“规范”。将对符合本规范的赛艇模拟器进行测试，建议对其进行改进，并对其中一个进行修改和重新测试。将对模拟赛艇进行计算机模拟，并评估受伤的可能性。

Rowing simulators are used for rowing training, rowing assessment and exercise. Their effectiveness for the first two depends on their exercise stimulus specificity to on-water rowing. Rowing simulators are also used in the fitness industry for exercise and in all applications the potential for injury should be minimised. This research will produce a "specification" of on-water rowing by characterising the magnitude and timing of the forces and moments experienced on-water. Rowing simulator agreement with this specification will be tested, modifications suggested for their improvement, and one modified and retested. Simulator rowing will be computer-modelled and the potential for injury assessed.
