What equipment is for rowing?

Answer 1

For rowing you need excellent muscular strength in addition to great cardiovascular health. Rowing is both anaerobic and aerobic so when training for races, you must train as parts of your body. Looking at a diagram of the typical stroke, you can see rowing uses virtually every muscle in your body especially your legs and abs.

Answer 2

for rowing all that is needed is a boat, also known as a shell, these can come in eights, fours, pairs or singles. You also need an oar, it depends if you are rowing sweep or scull; if you are rowing sweep you only use one oar but if you are sculling then you use two, smaller oars. Both of these things of course should be provided by whoever you are rowing with. So basically all you need is some workout clothing and yourself, you dont even need shoes, those are attached to the boat. but please wear socks.

Answer 3

For rowing balancing skills are usually a good thing to have otherwise you fall out. physically you dont have to be the fitest person but if you are rowing competitivly you need to be fit in order to get a placing. commitment skills would also be in handy as rowing is a very demanding sport, if you row like i do it consists of getting up at 4,5 in the morning to tain, then go to school then train again in the afternoons. i hope this helps a bit, if not messege me ;)
Rowing as a leisurely activity, like many others does not have any specific requirements. Obviously, for typical rowing the person must be completely mobile. However rowing for the disabled also exists.

If aiming to do rowing on a competetive or even a professional level several qualities are a must if you are looking to succeed. Firstly, Rowing is a very physically enduring activity - and when racing you will require strength and above all stamina to beat your opposition. The way that the boat and exercise motion works benefits those of a taller stature.

As well as that, it is often recommended to have a good sense of rhythm - such as you might have if you do music, this is very important as it enables you to time your "stroke" with other people in the boat, and of course means you will move quicker.

There is a lot of equipment used, including but not limited to: * the shell (boat) * seats * riggers (also outriggers - triangular shaped metal holders that extend from the boat and hold the oar in place) * oars * footplates * shoes * CoxBox (microphone and tool used by the coxswain) * unisuit, or other uniform firstly you need a kayak or canoe then a paddle and a life jacket and in different types of conditions a helmet- this guy is an effin retard

in general you need:

* a boat- theirs different types 8,4,2&

plus the rigger (where the oars go in the boat)

* oars * a seat * shoes (that are designed for the boat)

Safety

* a walkie-talkie or waterproof cell phone * life preserver (depending on the size of the boat)

there's not many things you need to row but you can easily find out info. on Google if you type in crew

Well, there's the rowing boats also known as shells and there's the oars. The boats contain shoes and seats that slide. Also the coxswain (the person that steers the boat) has a microphone connected to an amplifier (called a cox-box) that is connected to speakers in the boat so he can communicate with the crew.
There are two main types of rowing, and many types of boats you can row in, depending on how many people you are rowing with. The first type is sculling, where two oars are held by each person. In sculling you can compete in a single, which is one person with two oars, a double, which is two people, each holding two oars (4 oars in total) and a quad, which is four people each holding two oars (8 oars in total). The boats are usually made up of fibreglass, but sometimes have wooden insides. Riggers are either attached on top or on the sides, depending on how old the boat is, and are usually made of stainless steel. These are things which hold the gates in place, which is a ring where you place the handle of your oar, so it stays attached to the boat The second type is sweep, where each person only holds 1 oar. It is a much longer oar, and you can't compete in singles. You can compete in a pair, which is two people, with one oar each (2 oars in total) a four, which is four people with 1 oar each (2 oars in total) or an 8, which is 8 people with 1 oar each (8 oars in total). The only difference in the boats between sculling and sweep is the way the riggers are set up. in sculling there is riggers on both sides of each person, and in sweep there is a rigger only on one side of each person. I hope this helps :)

Answer 5

The most common equipment used in the sport include an ergometer, cox-boxes, racing shells and oars. Both the shells and oars differ depending on whether you are sweeping (One oar per rower) or skulling (two oars per rower). Cox-boxes are used by coxswains to amplify their voice in the boat.
