Understand how your movements contribute to the power phase in the rowing and sculling stroke. Timestamps 00:30 There are many different ways to row - test for yourself. 01:15 Sequential rowing stroke Using the legs, back and arms in sequence one after the other. 02:00 Simultaneous rowing stroke Start the legs and back at the same time and then adding in the arms later. Blending the overlap between each body part happens in practice so that the power doesn't drop off between each body part. 03:40 Force curve alignment The sequential movement gives a longer time in the water and a longer duration of the power phase from catch to finish. Simultaneous gives a higher force curve because the power is higher, but it is a shorter curve because you cannot sustain the power as long as in the sequential. 04:55 Legs | Back | Arms Rowing is about the effective delivery of power and recruiting muscles into that endeavour. Legs - the first part of the movement is from your knee - you push the footplate away so only the
