Bringing the boat into the lab: Rowing simulation

赛艇模拟器用于赛艇训练，赛艇评估和锻炼。它们对前两种运动的效果取决于它们对水上划船运动刺激的特异性。划船模拟器也用于健身行业的锻炼，在所有应用中，受伤的可能性应该最小化。这项研究将通过描述在水上经历的力和力矩的大小和时间来产生水上划船的“规范”。划艇模拟器与本规范的协议将进行测试，提出改进建议，并对其中一个进行修改和重新测试。模拟划船将被计算机模拟，并评估潜在的伤害。

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.
