Core Training for Rowers

In Level 1, trainees focus on spinal stability with minimal movement: McGill Curl-Up, Side Plank, and Full Tension Plank. In Level 2, trainees add movement at the extremities while maintaining spinal stability: Bird Dog Hold, Dead Bug Variations, Rolling Plank, Side Plank with Row, Stir-the-Pot, and the TRX/Ring Walk. In Level 3, trainees simulate the demands of the rowing stroke by including hip movement around a stable spine: Erg Plank and Stability Ball/Bench Rockback. Science of Rowing is the resource for coaches and rowers of all levels. Each month, we read across dozens of academic journals for rowing-relevant research, deliver summaries and takeaways from the most relevant articles, and discuss practical applications via audio roundtables, infographics and video. --Try our 10-Day Free Trial: https://scienceofrowing.com/memberships/ ---Learn more at Science of Rowing: https://scienceofrowing.com/
