Technique Analysis

Post by gregsmith01748 »

I saw this a couple days ago on twitter (or face book, I don't remember which). I thought I'd ask if anyone has taken the plunge or would be interested.

From what I can gather from the website. You put some computer readable dots on the erg seat, handle and frame and take a video of yourself at race pace. You send it to them and they do a computer assisted analysis of your stroke and make recommendations for improvements. All for the bargain price of 50 euros.

I'd be interested in opinions about it.

That kind of thing is aimed at people like me! I might look into it if I can get some quiet time to sort out the markers and the recording. I'll let you know how I get on - happy to be the guinea pig on this one.

I checked their site and the people behind it are real and known in the (small) world of Dutch rowing. I wouldn't be afraid to try it out. The guy behind the service is a former race rower and active Masters rower.

I guess we can give you the same tips based on observing your videos, but there is value in having an "independent" report and some quantification around it.

So I wouldn't be afraid to give it a try.

Maybe I'll give it a go after the crash-bs. Right now I'm in a groove, and I don't want to go back to working on technique stuff. I think I will ask them if I can submit video of me rowing on slides. They have instructions for static and dynamic, but not for slides.
