How to coach using
History and Origins
• Casper Rekers – inventor & innovator
• A Rowing Simulator with features to match
• To learn rowing you need 3 things
– Teach the crew to do the same stroke pattern
– Teach the crew to all do it at the same time
– Acquire proficiency in handling the oar(s)
• Rowperfect RP3 helps with the first two
www.rowperfect.co.uk
Benefits of Rowperfect
• Training on RP makes you fitter for rowing
• It trains the body in the rowing movement
• It trains boat-moving skills
• You can predict your on-water boat speed
• Compare athletes of different weights fairly
• Train crews to move together on linked RPs
• Real-time power curve is very sensitive to
changes in how you power the flywheel making
RP a great technique coaching tool

10 reasons RP3 is unique
1. The only dynamic rower that is already producing champions
2. Designed by the Rowperfect inventor “Cas Rekers”
3. The best feel & floating motion of any dynamic rowing simulator
4. The only available dynamic rowing simulator that gives you full feedback
about your power application with computer software
5. Stainless steel construction
6. Made in Europe by a factory with >25 years experience
7. Design is being improved all the time adapting to new technologies
8. Transition - RP to water rowing better than with any other machine
9. A large range of drag factors to develop speed & power
10. It makes you fitter than any other fitness tool in the world
www.rowperfect.co.uk
Why use Rowperfect?
• Problem: with indoor rowers
– Athletes ‘chase’ numbers on ergos
– Watts & Split appear to improve with poor
technique & higher stroke rates
• Solution:
– Use a measure that is independent of rate
– Use a measure that improves with good technique
Joules
www.rowperfect.co.uk
Joules = Power output
Understand how these are calculated
• Joules = power
• Watts = power per second
Why does this matter?
• Joules: When the rate changes the joules don’t change
if the power is constant.
• Watts: When the rate changes the watts do change
because it’s calculated per second.
So you can take the rate up and watts goes up BUT the
power could have gone down.
Therefore using Joules gives a true power measure.

Why Coaches use Rowperfect
1. Help athletes row the way you want
2. Software adds a new dimension
• Force curve
• Stroke length
• Joules energy
3. Link RP3s together for crew simulation
sessions and align power delivery

How to coach using RP3
Make your blade work hard every stroke
GET MORE BOAT SPEED by
– Longer length of stroke
– More power in the stroke
• Teach power first using
– Joules
– Stroke length
– Low ratings
– High resistance
www.rowperfect.co.uk
Video: Use RP from 1st day rowing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qEgkOJJgWA&feature
=youtube_gdata_player www.rowperfect.co.uk
1st rowing session on RP3
Introduce the Rowperfect rowing machine
• Row for 5 minutes
• Explain good posture and show “hands on” moving body position
• Set computer software to show: Power curve, Stroke length, Joules
• Row on a heavy drag factor rowing at 16 -18 strokes per minute
• Row on for 5 - 10 minutes. Observe the rower
• If he does a good, long stroke and a good curve, tell him
• Most athletes start making changes to their stroke by themselves. Using
the direct feedback s/he starts realising which movements help get more
work per stroke watching the Joules x stroke data.
Go onto the water
• Tell the athlete to make the same feel of load and acceleration
www.rowperfect.co.uk
Your Rowing Coaching skills
The message is
• Your coaching skills apply to Rowperfect use
• From the 3 videos could you see technique
you could coach / correct?
• Continue to use your skills just add
– Joules
– Stroke Length
– Feel & boat movement
– More power & fitness in your athletes
