Rowing ergometers are widely used to train and select athletes for rowing and sculling. However, these machines do not accurately replicate the feel and force actions experienced in a boat. In a sport where tenths of a second may separate Gold from Silver a greater emphasis will likely be placed on improved training techniques. We are motivated to develop a new ergometer that should be a closer step towards on-water rowing for both amateur and elite, disabled and able bodied rowers. In this project we aim to explore new ideas in ergometer design and to develop a test prototype for further research. The new ergometer will be based on our present designs for paraplegic rowing using functional electrical stimulation (FES). We have now demonstrated that paraplegics can compete in the British and World Indoor Rowing Championships using electrical activation of their paralysed legs to produce the rowing motion. We expect that the development of a better rowing ergometer will offer new prospects for elite rowers and expedite the further development of FES rowing on-water.

赛艇测功仪广泛用于赛艇和双桨运动员的训练和选拔。然而，这些机器不能准确地复制在船上经历的感觉和力的动作。在一项运动中，十分之一秒可能会将金牌与银分开，更大的重点可能会放在改进的训练技术上。我们的动机是开发一种新的测力计，应该是一个更接近的一步，对水上划船的业余和精英，残疾人和健全的赛艇运动员。在这个项目中，我们的目标是探索新的想法，在测力计的设计和开发一个测试原型，为进一步的研究。新的测力计将基于我们目前的设计截瘫划船使用功能性电刺激（FES）。我们现在已经证明，截瘫患者可以参加英国和世界室内划船锦标赛，使用电激活他们的瘫痪腿来产生划船运动。我们期望一个更好的赛艇测功仪的开发将为优秀赛艇运动员提供新的前景，并加快FES水上赛艇的进一步发展。
