Abstract
Athlete monitoring (AM) is the systematic monitoring of physiological, biomechanical, hormonal, and psychological determinants that are related to sport performance with the purpose of helping coaches and practitioners evaluate the effectiveness of a training program and make revisions, if necessary. In simple terms, are athletes showing performance improvement or regression? If the latter occurs, then adjustments can be made to individualize the training program to get an athlete back on track. AM serves as a ‘checks’ and ‘balance’ system for any training program. AM is often left to the discretion of the coaching staff to align with their training periodization. The Olympic sport of rowing has identified key determinants such as peak power in short anaerobic capacity tests and power at the second lactate threshold. However, most research studies have investigated elite rowing populations. Less rigorous research has been conducted in less highly trained populations such as high school and university athletes.
The purpose of the following research studies is to: a) identify tests that can be routinely assessed in key training environments (gym, rowing ergometer, and on-water) and b) evaluate the efficacy of these tests in an all-female rowing population that has a wide range of experience. Overall, these investigations will better inform coaching and training practice by more clearly understanding potential differences between elite and sub-elite populations, as well as the effective implementation of scaled testing and monitoring for a large team of athletes.
