Rowing and Sculling

a paddle is to canoeing as an.....OAR...is to rowing

Rowing coach at Clemson University. Robbie Tenenbaum was named the Head Coach of Clemson Women's Rowing on June 6th 2010 after serving as an assistant coach for 1 year. Robbie is from Shaker Heights, Ohio and graduated from the University of Tampa in 1992.

A rowing machine is a piece of gym equipment, that mimics the motions of rowing. It provides a high cardiovascular workout, as well as working a number of major muscle groups.

Argonaut Rowing Club was created in 1872.

First you should make sure it is healthy for someone of your sex, height, and body type to lose that much weight. If you are currently overweight and can safely lose 28 lbs, then this is feasible and will likely take between 4 and 6 months.

First you'll need to assess how many calories you burn during an interval of exercise on a rowing machine. Most machines will tell you how many calories you've burned during a session. One pound of fat is about 3,500 calories. If you burn 100 calories in 10 minutes of rowing, and you row for 350 minutes a week, then you'll lose 1 pound a week just from rowing.

Perhaps, but the main reason for osteoporosis is lack of calcium and the inability to absorb it and the fact that it isn't the diet. Any exercise where the muscles pull on the bones will result in more bone in that spot. But again calcium has to be there as the body can't rebuild bone without it.

Yes, because it uses a lot of muscels for a row

3000 meters is not a standard distance in rowing, so there would be no recognized record for it.

If one is looking for rowing machines under $300 and with a compact design which can be easily stored, there are few cheap rowing machine on the market. These include: Stamina 1215, Stamina Air Rower, Fitness Rower.

Ok, well I heard they cross train with a 50km bike

It is very big, especially if you live near a lake or river that is a good rowing ground. Although in Britain it is more a competitive atmosphere whereas like in Australia the rowing atmosphere is very competitive but also there is an aspect of social rowing which can be enjoyed at all levels and by all ages.

Depends on whether you are on the tidal portion of the river or not.

On the tidal portion, first it is a bit of a pain because there are no proper docks, you have to wade in - be sure to wear your wellies, because the river is full of poo, and try not to get any rocks in the boat (esp the tracks). Once under way, make sure you have an experienced coxswain or bowman as navagating the river can be tricky, which side you should be traveling on changes depending on whether the tide is waxing or waning and where on the river you are such as inside of curve or outside. Also, there can be a lot of other rowing traffic on the river as there are a huge number of rowing clubs there. If you are an American, be mindful that the terminology is somewhat different: (port and starboard) become (strokeside and bowside), 'eaaasy-all' is typically used more than 'way enough' or 'let it run'. Also, British crews are very adamant about having a very finesse stroke, and detest backsplash (probably because of the 'poo' thing) In spite of all this, however, the scenery can be splended, the number and history of the rowing clubs is remarkable, and the magnificence of some of the great rooms in the rowing clubs spectacular. Your technique will improve, you will be a better rower, and richer for the experience.

In a rowing race, the course can be anywhere from 1000 or so meters to around 5000. (Less than a mile to around 3 miles).

The most common course lengths are 1500m, 2000m, and 5000m.

The distance you race can depend on what age category you fall into and what sort of race your rowing.

Usually in standard regattas, J16 (anyone under 16) row the 1500m while anyone over 16 will race the full 2km. In heads of the river, they range from 3.5km to 5km, depending on the course available. Sprints vary from 300 to 600 metres and are not shortened to accomadate age groups.

When there is a boat with four people and they each have two sculling oars so in total there are eight oars

sculling is two oars finning is one oar

The most well known rowing event at the Olympic games involves the eight (8+) rowing shell. This shell is very fast with eight oarsmen producing a huge amount of power propelling this 65-foot boat.

Judging by the prices of hotels in the area, it would be far preferable to rent a house instead. You can eat when you want, enjoy a garden or a swimming pool and in some cases even walk to the venue through the North Entrance. There are some houses to let right opposite the Windsor Racecourse, which also means you can walk into the venue.

Definitely self catering v hotels!

teammate, rower...

No it is not you can choose to row at any speed hence it is isotonic in nature

Ahab was the captain of the Pequod, the whaling ship in Moby Dick. The crew was simply the crew. Interesting aside: the coffee chain Starbuck's, was named after Capt. Ahab's First Officer.

Very fast times for 2000 meter races are about 5 mins 20 seconds. That speed is close to 14 mph.

No, an ideal coxswain is light and loud. The coxswain typically steers the boat and gives direction to the rowers.

I know of two really good ones, Boston Rowing Club (BRC) on the Charles River in Boston and Wayland Weston (WW) in Wayland. Both of these have summer programs and competitive teams during the year
