Training at the higher intensity is called utilization training 1 (UT1), and training at the lower intensity is called utilization training 2 (UT2). Because our athletes do so much aerobic training, we carefully specify how hard we want them to train. The athletes can recognize the transition between the two intensities, so I have tested the ranges by asking athletes to train at what they consider to be their ideal training heart rate, taking several lactate samples over the course of a ...
A study using Dutch Olympic, national, and club rowers found that on average international rowers generated 204 kilograms of force, national rowers generated 183 kilograms of force, and club rowers generated 162 kilograms of force. Relative strength is more important to a rower than absolute strength because the amount of weight in a boat affects the drag through water. Because relative strength is more important to rowers than absolute strength, the strength goals in this chapter are ...
A year-long strength program has four phases: symmetry and hypertrophy, maximum strength, power, and power endurance. Symmetry and Hypertrophy Phase Strength training during the first part of the year corrects muscle imbalances that develop as a result of training and racing. Strength adaptations are specific to training speed; in other words, training at high velocities increases strength at high velocities and training at low velocities increases strength at low velocities.
