  1. The Physiology of Rowing Whitney McMackin It's a great art, is rowing. It's the finest art there is. It's a symphony of motion. And when you're rowing well why it's nearing perfection- And when you reach perfection you're touching the divine. It touches the you of you's which is your soul. -George Pocock

  2. Initial Thoughts

  3. Energy Fitness • Aerobic • VO2max (Medium Level Verified) • Anaerobic (Blood Lactate Levels) • All energy consumed in 2k race (Pripstein 1999) High Level Verified Average VO2max for women: 3.89 L/min

  4. Muscular Fitness • Flexibility: no research verification: Med • Strength: Importance in lifting/splits-High • Endurance: Related to aerobic fitness-Med • Speed: Tested for increased stroke rating over stages M/H • Power: High
