Rowing has a long history with deep cultural roots. Today, it can be either a demanding sport or a relaxing leisure activity. Still, both rowing forms require teamwork and the delicate integration of technique and physical effort. In a more competitive sphere, it also requires mental strength. This is all true for masters rowers. Masters rowers must be sure that their rowing techniques are practiced methodically and carefully to prevent injuries. This book not only outlines training for masters rowers, but it assists the rower in better understanding how the body responds to the exertion from rowing as well as how to mitigate the changes in performance as they age. This book provides a complete overview of masters rowing. It examines in detail the history of rowing as well as its history as a sport, moving on to outline the different types of training and training zones. The training advice would not be complete without an overview of the most common rowing injuries and how they can be prevented, especially as the rower ages. The book also provides details on how aging and rowing go hand in hand. Competing as a masters rower requires different training skills and knowledge of the various international competitions, all covered in the book. Finally, the content is rounded out with a holistic examination of rowing's role in society. This practical guide is perfect for both the competitive and recreational masters rower. With it, the rower can not only continue to row for their own health as they age, but they can also be part of a sport that has a deep and lasting cultural connection to society as a whole.
