Strength and Conditioning for Rowing

The field of strength and conditioning has grown exponentially over the last two decades, making both collaboration with others and recognition of the impact S&C coaches can have beyond the weight room more important than ever before. This book purposefully begins by sharing professional insights from both the individuals S&C coaches work with--the event coaches--and those individuals S&C coaches work for--the athletes--to examine how collaboration towards agreed, shared, and understood performance goals works in practice. The latter chapters focus on applying S&C principles within rowing populations, which are easily transferred to any athlete. This includes: a "performance backwards" approach to planning
exploring an adaptation approach to programming
common injuries across rowing populations
exercise selection, including specific trunk training assessment and programming
transfer of training to rowing performance, and understanding the needs of Paralympic Rowers.
