Episode 119 | Lotte Lintemeijer: Power in Rowing Subscribe a Review on : Apple Podcasts | Stitcher In Episode #119 of the LEO Training Podcast, I interview researcher and data scientist Dr. Lotte Lintmeijer. This entire podcast interview is focused power measurement in a rowing shell and the historical measurement for power and Lotte's research regarding the development of a new, more accurate method. Interview Topics: Part 1 : Background and Interest in Rowing How did you come to research rowing? Defense of PhD Pop Up Symposium this fall on “Power in Rowing” Part 2 : Power in Rowing Why power is a key factor in rowing performance? Traditional/Standard way of calculating power On the water there is no constant velocity and boat is not standing still, the rowing shell accelerates and decelerates so equation on water is not accurate. New method Differences between the two and what the standard method misses. How and Why rowers should calculate power? What is the added value of power output feedback compared to feedback on boat speed? Are there alternatives to determine power output in practice? Study you did with rowers FEEDBACK ON ROWERS’ MECHANICAL POWER OUTPUT IMPROVES COMPLIANCE TO INTENDED ON-WATER TRAINING INTENSITY Rather obvious that rowers better comply with power output targets when they receive feedback: why is this study important? How to train and improve it? What is the next step in your research on power output in rowing? Show Notes: Improved determination of mechanical power output in rowing: Experimental results Mechanical power output in rowing should not be determined from oar forces and oar motion alone Rowers' on-water power output is commonly underestimated
