Listen "028: Joe DeLeo | Science of Rowing - The importance of strength & conditioning for rowers"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we have Joe DeLeo, Strength & Conditioning Coach and PhD Candidate in Exercise Physiology, and we dive into the importance of resistance training for rowers, and why strength training is crucial for both peak performance and injury prevention.
In our conversation Joe and I break down…
How rowing is a power-endurance sport, and the power output required to perform a rowing stroke and sustain it for 2000 meters
Where to get started with developing the “skill” of strength training and building up in a way that complements your rowing performance and minimizes the risk of injury
Exercise selection and developing a program centered around how you perform the rowing stroke and what actually creates sustainable power
