Relationship between Force-Velocity Profiles and 1,500-m Ergometer Performance in Young Rowers.

Rowing races require developing high level of force and power output at high contraction velocity. This study determined the force-velocity and power-velocity (F-P-V) profiles of lower and upper limbs of adolescent rowers and their relationships with a 1,500-m rowing ergometer performance. The power developed during the 1,500-m (P) was evaluated in fourteen national-level male rowers (age: 15.
