| Catch Angle |
Angular Degrees |
|
Angle of the oarlock when direction of motion reverses from recovery to drive direction. |
| Effective Length |
Angular Degrees |
|
Total degrees traversed by the oarlock between the 100N for sculling/200N for sweep slip and wash thresholds. |
| Finish Angle |
Angular Degrees |
|
Angle of the oarlock when direction of motion reverses from drive to recovery direction |
| Force |
Newtons |
to 1/10 |
The force applied to the oarlock face averaged over the full stroke. |
| Max/Peak Force |
Newtons |
to 1/10 |
The maximum force applied to the oarlock face at any point in the stroke. |
| Peak Force Angle |
Angular Degrees |
|
The degrees of angle at which the peak force occurred in the stroke. |
| Power |
Watts |
to 1/10 |
The rate of work being output. Power can be increased by doing more work per stroke, or taking more strokes per minute. |
| Average Power |
Watts |
to 1/10 |
Power per stroke averaged over the entire interval (if using a SpeedCoach). Resetting the clock will reset the average power. |
| Slip |
Angular Degrees |
|
Angle degrees traversed by the oarlock before the force exceeds 100N for sculling/200N for sweep - a threshold below which the work being done on the oar is doing relatively little to increase the speed of the boat. |
| Wash |
Angular Degrees |
|
Angle degrees traversed by the oarlock after the force drops below 100N for sculling/200N for sweep – a threshold below which the work being done on the oar is doing relatively little to increase the speed of the boat. |
| Work |
Joules |
to 1/10 |
The force times the length of the stroke. Work measures the effectiveness of each stroke. |
| Average Work |
Joules |
to 1/10 |
The average force times the length of the stroke. Work measures the effectiveness of each stroke. |
| Length |
Angular Degrees |
|
Total degrees traversed by the oarlock between catch and finish. |
| Effective Length |
Angular Degrees |
|
Total degrees traversed by the oarlock between the 100N for sculling/200N for sweep slip and wash thresholds. |
