Relationships between measures of boat acceleration and performance in rowing, with and without controlling for stroke rate and power output.

<h4>Purpose</h4>Boat acceleration profiles provide a valuable feedback tool by reflecting both rower technique and force application. Relationships between measures of boat acceleration and velocity to inform interpretation of boat acceleration profiles in rowing were investigated here.&...
