Prediction of 2000 Meters Indoor Rowing Performance Using a 100 Meters Sprint, 60 Second Sprint and 6000 Meter Test

摘要

The purpose of this research is to predict the performance of 2000 meters indoor rowing using 100-meter test, 60s test and 6000-meter test. The sample used is 22 rowing athletes, consisting of 10 male lightweight athletes, 3 male heavy weight athletes, 7 female light weight athletes and 2 female heavyweight athletes aged around 19 ± 29 years old, who joined the Program Indonesia Emas. Participants give written approval before participating in this research. All experimental procedures are approved by the Executive Board of the Indonesian Rowing and Canoeing Association (PB PODSI). The test was performed with a physical test series developed by Danish Rowing, taking a standard of 21 Danish rowers. Rowing athletes participate in a series of physical tests conducted within 4 days, displaying all out performance for specified test types as well as the distance specified using Concept2, type C rowing ergometer. The results of this study is a prediction of 2000 meter power performance based on 100 meter test power performance, 60 second test and 6000 meter test. This study reflects an optimal physiological adaptation for rower performance. Rowers can use the same general training preparations, whether they are open classes or light classes, male or female. Dividing the training according to the endurance curve for each rower. If an oarsman does anaerobic tests poorly, he may have to do more strength training and power exercises. On the other hand, if an oarsman is too strong in relation to his aerobic endurance, he should focus on aerobic training. This research will be useful, because the trainer will get the profile data of each group or athletes that will be a reference for trainers in sorting out and choosing what physiological aspects should be a priority target in planning the exercises.
