Optimization of Rowing Specific Training by Studying the Stages Evaluation

Problem statement: We intended to analyze and systematize the most valuable ways through which is achieved the optimization in rowing training by the evaluation of control norms, trials and tests during some stages of the training plan. We consider that the sports performances can become better and better thanks to a continuous improvement of the working methodology during the main periods of training. Approach: The study was conducted over a period of 10 months (December 1, 2009-September 1, 2010) within the Sports Clubs, Juniors Department, men, of Falticeni and Iasi and it was made during the pre-competitive and competitive training period. The subjects of our research represent a group of 24 athletes from the two clubs: CS Falticeni and CS Iasi, out of which only 9 subjects have been able to obtained significant results. The study emphasizes the performances achieved during the control tests on ergometer rowing machines and on water (6000 and 2000 m events). Results: The study results confirmed that there is a significant relationship of the control tests results, erg and the competitive performance. The athletes' performance is determined by the level of physical training specific to the rowing. Conclusions: To further enhance the performances, one should not neglect the study of any side which could help coaches and methods specialists in their work with the athletes.
