Which is faster in rowing eights of pairs?
Asked by Wiki User
if you mean eights or pairs, than eights are faster BY FAR. Although the boat is bigger and heavier, having 4x times the man power and 4x the oars propels the boat throughout the water much faster than a boat with only 2 people and 2 oars.
How do you calculate your erg score?
Asked by Wiki User
If you have a screen on your erg typically your score is your split time. Another way is by your 2K time.
How do your oars make the boat move?
Asked by Wiki User
They act as levers. By placing the oar in the water, the resistance then essentially fixes on end of the oar so it cannot move. Then, the gate at the end of the rigger acts as a pivot point to push the boat past this fixed point
Are your splits faster on sliders than on stationary ergs?
Asked by Wiki User
Generally yes. The reason for this is the recovery - whereas with stationary ergs you have to move the entirety of your body weight back and forth, on sliders it's only the ergo, and even that's aided by the bungees. It's much more efficient on the recovery and also to a lesser extent on the drive.
The main inefficiency comes at the ends of each phase when you have to reverse direction. You have to apply force to change the momentum, and you have to apply that much more to change momentum of a heavy human body.
Rate is much easier to achieve on sliders, too.
