Benefits


Provides Immediate Feedback

Assessing your performance after your row requires you to somehow internalize and hold onto suggested changes for your next outing – then try to implement them with no real idea of whether you are doing it right. With real-time technical feedback and effort measurement, you can make sure you're hitting your targets for technical proficiency and training effectiveness when you need it most: while you're rowing.

Quantifies Technique

Rowing faster is a game of increments – "quicker catch", "more compression", "less layback", "longer leg drive". Getting a feel for these subjective concepts on the water can take hundreds of hours. By quantifying catch, finish, and force application into simple numerical targets, technical changes become much easier to achieve and maintain.

Measures Training Effort

Achieving peak fitness requires a "just right" training load, and the EmPower Oarlock takes the guesswork out of determining training effort. By quantifying work, power, and heart rate, you can consistently perform within suggested training zones to maximize physiological training benefits.

Get Immediate Insight

View your athletes' technique and output while they're rowing. Just stay within shouting distance of your athletes to see their real-time technical and effort measurements on a SpeedCoach GPS 2.

So much more than just power

Everyone knows that erg power does not always translate to boat speed. Understand WHY and help every rower apply their personal best to the oar. Synchronize crew power application for maximum effectiveness. Combine work measurement with heart rate targets to develop efficiency.

Set Clear Targets for your Athletes

Supplement your words and drills with measurable targets for each rower's technique and effort.
"Sit up at the catch" becomes "catch at 55°."
"Row half-pressure" becomes "stay within 150-175W."

Go Deeper with Data Review

Review workout data on the SpeedCoach to establish targets and monitor your athletes' performance against them. For even further insight, download the session and export to .csv to analyze and chart per-stroke data in a spreadsheet.
