The purpose of this study was focused on the degree of work intensity and optimal race pace in rowing for Korean national male and female rowers.
The items in physique were body height and body weight. Body density was estimated from the sum of two skinfold using the regressional equations suggested by Nagamine et al.(1972). Percent fat was calculated by Brozek et al.(1963) formular.
Somatotype was calculated by Health-Carter(1981) anthropometric somatotype method.
Maximal oxygen uptake measurements were continued while the work load increased by a uniform amount each 40m/4min for male and 30m/4min for female on the treadmill ergometer. The grade was constant at 0% and the initial speeds were 160m/min for male rowers and 120m/min for female rowers.
Heart rate was recorded continuously all through the experiment of actual rowing by using telemetering method(Hart Check 108 System). Oxygen uptake in percent of maximal oxygen uptake(% of VO₂max) of the actual rowing was calculated from the equation of relationship between heart rate and oxygen uptake obtained during exhaustive running test on the treadmill. Heart rates during the exercise of actual rowing was measured on 8 male and 4 female Korean national rowers.
Blood lactate concentration measurements were used autoclix Lancet Method after actual rowing exercise for 8 male rowers. Also, eleven male rowers and six female rowers volunteered as subjects in this study.
The results obtained are summarized as follows.
1. The means for the percent fat of the Korean national male and female rowers were 12.1±1.09% and 18.4±3.50, respectively.
2. The means for Health-Carter somatotype of the Korean national male and female rowers were 2.8-4.5-2.9 of balanced mesomorph and 4.2-3.4-2.9 of mesoendomorph, respectively.
3. The means for the maximal oxygen uptake(VO₂max) of the Korean national male and female rowers were 5.30±0.607ℓ/min(65.6㎖/㎏/min) and 3.22±0.148ℓ/min(48.1㎖/㎏/min), respectively.
4. The means for the heart rate of national male and female rowers by actual rowing exercise were 171.3±10.44bpm ad 172.9±8.35bpm, respectively.
5. The means for the heart rate in percent of maximal heart rate(%VO₂max) of national male and female rowers by actual rowing exercise were 88.6±8.12% HRmax(81.7±11.12%VO₂max) and 88.2±5.38%HRmax(88.8±5.77%VO₂max), respectively.
6. The means for the RMR(Mets) of national male and female rowers by actual rowing exercise were 17.2±2.59RMR(15.4±2.12Mets) and 13.5±1.95RMR(12.2±1.44Mets), respectively.
7. The means for the pitch rate of national male and female rowers by actual rowing exercise were 31∼33 stroke/min and 29∼31 stroke/min, respectively.
8. In actual 2,000m rowing exercise, blood lactate concentration was 6.74±0.854mM/ℓ on goal in-point and 7.07±0.989mM/ℓ on 5 minutes after recovery in male rowers.
