Sports - Rowing
The OBHPU has over 18 years experience in working with athletes involved with rowing across a range of performance levels. The experiences obtained from working with elite (Olympic and National Team) rowers through both sport science support and coaching has provided a solid foundation on which to interpret and quantify training response and adaptation.

- Training zone guidelines
Rowing is more than a fast boat on race day. It's a complementary experience to a young man's intellectual development.. Rowing, like success, is a journey, not a destination. I tell my oarsmen to have fun, learn and, most of all, grow as individuals. The wins the losses will take care of themselves.
Rick Clother, Rowing Coach USNA - Power profiling
- Lactate response
- Training evaluation
- Threshold determination
- Endurance training (e.g. 3 x 6km ergometer) evaluation through lactate and gas analysis
- Body composition
- On water monitoring (lactate and gas analysis)
