Rowing and Sculling

In stationary rowing, the primary muscle groups involved include the legs (quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves), back (latissimus dorsi, trapezius, and rhomboids), and arms (biceps and forearms). The prime mover is mainly the legs during the drive phase, while the back and arms play significant roles as synergists. Antagonists, such as the hip flexors and chest muscles, help control movement and stabilize the body. Accessory muscles include the core muscles, which support posture and stability throughout the rowing motion.

Through the 2008 Games in Beijing, that is the United States with 84 (31 gold, 31 silver, 22 bronze).

The former East Germany has won the most gold medals with 33.

And when adding up the medal totals of the Germanys (Germany, West Germany, East Germany), they have won 113 medals (60 gold, 27 silver, 26 bronze).

Its due to refraction. The same way a pencil seems broken in a beaker of water.

The Rutgers University crew team rows on the Raritan River.

The team name for Harvard University athletics is the Crimson. Unofficially, their mascot is John Harvard, an Englishman for whom the school is named after.

8 and a coxswain

Rowing Shell.

In order to back a rowing boat, the rowers twist the oar handle 180 degrees turning the blade (end of the oar) around backwards. Then the rowing stroke is done in reverse. The blade is placed in the water toward the stern, then the rower pushes (rather than pulls) the oar handle away from their chest sending the blade through the water toward the bow of the boat. As long as each rower that is "backing" is paired with another rower that holds an oar on the opposite side of the boat who is also backing, this motion will "back" the boat down, rather than send it forward.

There is no water in the river

It all depends on the person. There is no "should" amount of how far someone should be able to row.

The "passenger" is called a coxin and he is controlling the boat and gives commands.

It looks like a Winslow Homer painting but I have yet to find the exact picture. It may not exist.

A "good" time varies greatly depending on sex, age, height, experience and conditioning as well as water and weather conditions. But in general for women sub 8 minutes is good, for men sub 7 minutes. Depending on competition level, these are starting markers

ideally 6ft 3 realistically 5ft 8-5ft 11 is a really good height to be at

Appropriate collective nouns are a galley of rowers or a team of rowers.

9 ft. 4 in. The taller the better.

I think Georgina in a tiny bit taller

It is non-toxic, durable and lightweight.
