COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN PERFORMING ON WATER AND RESULTS ON ERGS IN MEN’S ROWING

Journal Title: CITIUS ALTIUS FORTIUS - JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT - Year 2010, Vol 29, Issue 4

Abstract

This study tries to prove the fact that a significant correlation could be identified between the results on ergs, expressed by some of the basic parameters, and the results on water, making possible an acceptable anticipation of the performances achieved in the competitions to come. The rowing is a cyclic sport whose specific movement can be learned on an ergo too, on which supplementary training sessions could be done during the pre-competitive session. The study was conducted over a period of 11 months (January 15 to December 15, 2009) in the Juniors Olympic Centers of Năvodari and Călărasi, during a pre-competitive and a competitive training period. Our research subjects are a group of 12 athletes from the two clubs: 6 athletes from Năvodari Sports Club and 6 athletes from Călărasi Sports Club. The study was made during the physical and technical training programs within the training period by land and on water, monitoring the evolution of the performance parameters statistically in men’s rowing. The statistical processing was made in Word and “KyPlot” programs, nonparametric multiple comparisons, and the linear correlation. As for the evolution of the performance parameters on ergometer applied during the junior rowers’ technical and physical training programs, 6 tests were exemplified along the training period by land and on water, these ones including also the participation of 7 athletes in the Ergs National Championship 2000m. The results achieved on ergometer rowing machines on 2000m, during the tests 1, 2 and 3, representing the period of spring-winter, there are time and power improvements, as for the analysis of the results obtained on ergometer rowing machines, 2000m, at tests no. 4, 5 and 6, representing the winter period, improvements of time and power are evident at tests 4 and 5 but there is a poorer performance at test no. 6. The results of the study confirmed that the significance of the relationship between the competitive performance and the results on an ergometer rowing machine are not based on a causal relationship, but probably represents a common effect of the physical training level specific to the rowing.
