Efficiency in Rowing
In this article I want to look at possible definitions of efficiency in rowing and what makes a certain rowing technique more efficient than another one. The term “Efficiency” always describes a ratio of two factors, typically in an input to output relationship. What are those output and input factors in rowing? When we look at the optimisation of rowing technique with the goal of moving the
Comparing Boat Speed for three common Rowing Mistakes
In the recently released update 3.2.1 we added support for showing the typical speed graph corresponding to a typical stroke’s boat acceleration to Analytics. In this post, I want to show you 3 common mistakes that rowers make with their rowing technique and how they show up in boat acceleration, which measures the effective total boat force. If you want
Rowing in Motion App 3.2.1
Improvements to the Apps Please see the recent Solo App announcement for more details on the new Solo Apps. Unless otherwise noted, all updates apply to both the Team and Solo App for iOS and Android. This release is available for Android immediately and will be available for iOS after review by Apple (which usually takes 8-10 days).

"I have only been using the app a couple of weeks and it has already been a big help. My stroke efficiency has gone from averaging 2.2 to averaging 2.8 and a boat a weight category higher than recommended by the manufacturer has shown to be consistently faster for me."

Rowing in Motion iOS Version issues
This post is fairly technical, but we had to write it to inform you about some current issues we face with our Apps due to the iOS 8 upgrade and Apples recent enforcement of required 64bit support for Apps. The current compatibility matrix that we need to support for the RiM Team and RiM Solo App looks

Understanding Force Curves and Boat Acceleration
In this post I want to take a look at the relation between “force curves” and boat acceleration. I will also touch on the topic of the mystical drive hump and demonstrate where it comes from. To begin with, let us freshen up on some basic relations between forces, acceleration and speed. When a force is applied to an object, the
