Effect of training on Motor Ability Parameters and Rowing Ergometer Performance of Indian Junior Female Rowers
Journal Title: Biology of Exercise - Year 2015, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
the physical, physiological and motor ability parameters are important determining factors for success in rowing, and hence the present study was aimed not only to evaluate selective physical, physiological and motor ability profiles of Indian female rowers but also to enumerate the effects of systematic training on these parameters to correlate them with their rowing performance. eleven Indian junior female rowers (15.7 ±0.4 years) were selected for this study. height, body weight, 800m run, 100m sprint, 6×10m shuttle run, push-up, sit-up, standing broad jump, vertical jump, sit and reach test, bench pull and squat tests were done by the standard procedures. performance time, power output, stroke rate was evaluated by rowing ergometer (concept II). Four sets of tests were conducted, maintaining three months interval between each set of test. the average body height and body weight of Indian junior female rowers was 163.7 ±3.6 cm and 52.6 ±2.7 kg respectively. body height was found to be significantly and negatively correlated with performance time (r = -0.98) and positively with total power output (r = 0.97). all the motor ability parameters were progressively increased after systematic training was applied on them. On the other hand, performance time, power output and stroke rate was progressively improved through systematic training which is desirable for better performance. the present rowers were found to be shorter and lighter as compared to their international counterparts. they also took more time to complete 2000m distance as compared with their international counterparts. Systematic training improves the various physical, physiological and motor ability parameters which are responsible for rowers to excel in rowing. the present data could be used as further reference standard for comparison in rowing.
