Experimental ischaemic pain was induced in 20 male competitive rowers in training and a control group of 20 males not in training. Pain tolerances, but not thresholds, were higher for competitive rowers. The rowers also reported using a range of self-generated pain-coping strategies during testing which, they claimed, they also used during training. Pain tolerances were correlated with the number and quality of coping strategics used during testing.

Testosterone/cortisol ratio: gender effect and prediction of podium results in beach sprint master rowers.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to address the lack of data on the stress and motivation response in master athletes during competitions, as athletic performance in this age group can be significantly impacted by stress rather than appropriate training.
Methods: Coastal rowing beach sprint master athletes aged 43-57 years were examined to assess the saliva levels of stress biomarkers, cortisol, and testosterone. Specifically, samples were collected at awakening and before and after the boat race.
Brainwave Patterns and Metabolic Adaptations in Rowers Crossing the Atlantic: A Case Series Pilot Study.

Introduction: This pilot study was designed to test the hypothesis that quantitative electroencephalographic (qEEG) measurements reflect physiological adaptations for brain energy reallocation. The study focused on a team of three well-matched male rowers participating in a 30-day, 2,650-mile continuous transatlantic rowing competition, examining the effects of extreme, prolonged stress on brain function and metabolic adaptations.
Methods: Measurements at the start and finish lines included body weight, height, waist circumference, body fat, and a panel of hormones and biochemical markers.
Prevalence of Eating Disorders among Competitive Rowers.

Article Synopsis
- There is a lack of research on eating disorders among rowers internationally and no studies in Hungary, particularly in weight-related sports like rowing.
- A quantitative study in summer 2023 assessed eating disorders among 222 certified competitive rowers using a validated questionnaire, revealing that lightweight rowers had higher scores in perfectionism and interoceptive awareness.
- The findings indicated that eating disorders in rowers are not more prevalent than in the general population, but emphasize the need for ongoing research and educational efforts due to the inherent risks in weight-related sports.
Insights from expert coaches on technical performance evaluation in rowing: a pilot study.

Introduction: Since rowing became an Olympic sport in 1900, rowers have made significant performance gains, partly attributed to increased research, training, and competition knowledge. Rowing technique and biomechanics play an essential role in rowing performance. While some aspects can be quantified with modern tools, coaches' expertise remains essential for technical performance evaluation.

Sports nutrition is a topic that is often misinterpreted and sometimes abused. The often-used "shot-gun" method to meeting caloric needs by simply increasing caloric intake disregarding nutrient source is scientifically contrary to the need for a more careful study of the nutritional requirements of rowers. Rowing by itself is a very demanding sport as typical training sessions use exercise intensities that range from very low submaximal work to short term supramaximal efforts.
