Rowing and Sculling

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.

I have managed to lose 20lb in 2 months but my daughter lost 2 stones in 2 months. Her diet basically - including exercise. half an hour of Rosemary Connelly tapes then 15 mins on a small trampoline or 11 sessions. Dancing for one hour in the evening each day for two months...Time trampoline to each advert. I basically have cut out pasta, potatoes, flour, sugar, rice and all things nice. As you don't have bread so the butter goes too but I do stir frys with spray oil.I eat mainly chicken and veg or fish and veg. I have chicken curry with vegetables and no rice and it is great. Breakfast has changed. I threw away the bread and now having either eggs or some ham and salad Yes why not. The protein stops you being hungry. Snack on fruit or ryvita.I am never hungry and after a few days I found I am not as hungry as I used to be and to me this is the easiest diet I have done. I have not exercised much and should do more but 20lb have gone.I have been going swimming twice a week and have just joined a gym. I still have 2 stones to lose. I also had a friend of mine who lost a lot of weight by eating every two hours this increases your metabolic rate. He lost tons but ate small portions all day. He did cut out potato, bread, cut down on pasta ad rice. Good luck.

Stop Imagining!

Magnetic rowing machines are commonly used in the home as they are the cheapest and quietest.They control resistance by means of electromagnets that engage a mechanical brake with a flywheel.

because technically the bowman is at the front of the boat.

Starts just after Putney Bridge and ends before Chiswick Bridge

The person in the boat that instructs the members of a boat while rowing is called the coxswain (if that's your question).

Yes! He's their cousin (the dads are brothers)

the stroke is not a side it is a certain seat in the boat. the stroke is the seat closest to the stern of the boat. in an 8 man boat it is seat number 8 with bow being seat number 1. in a four it is the number 4 seat and so on and so forth

Rowing has been an Olympic event since the 1900 Summer Games in Paris.

"sweep rowing" is a type of rowing stroke. A sweep oar boat is where each rower has only one oar, on alternate sides down the boat, and a sculling boat is one where each rower has 2 oars, one in each hand. A sweep rowing boat can hold 1, 2, 4 or 8 rowers, and a sculling boat can hold 1, 2 or 4.

for self improvement

Yes 38 min and 30 sec is a pretty good time for a 10k there is room for improvement i am a Jr. on varsity team and I row a 32 flat

Many US Colleges and universities have varsity rowing. See related link for a current list.

A rowing oar is made up of several parts. You have the handle, which could be wood (I prefer the grip of this), plastic or rubber. This is for either one or two hands depending on whether it's a sweep blade or a scull blade.

The shaft is usually hollow carbon fibre or some other light materiel, approximately four inches in diameter at the collar (the fitting which allows it to stay still in the gate).

The blade, or the spoon, is of many different shapes. The three basic shapes are the modern hatchet (asymmetric, like a chef's cleaver), old macon (pronounced soft c, classic oar shape) and older pencil (long and thin). They may or may not have a spine running along the spoon in line with the shaft, and they may or may not have hydrodynamic modifications on the end of the spoon to obtain better grip.

The hatchet shape stems from a desire for increased connection and lower slippage. Since the spoon is not moving straight but in an arc, the outer end moves at a different speed to the inner causing slip. The shorter and deeper a blade is the less this occurs.
