The heart rate turn point (HRTP) accurately sets target heart rate (THR) for intense rowing exercise. This method ensures consistent training intensity for both ergometer and single scull rowing workouts.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Cardiovascular Research

Background:

  • Determining optimal training intensity is crucial for athletes.
  • Heart rate turn point (HRTP) is a physiological marker used in exercise testing.
  • Previous research has explored HRTP for various exercise modalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of HRTP for setting target heart rate (THR) in prolonged rowing.
  • To compare rowing ergometer (E) and single scull rowing (R) intensities using HRTP.
  • To validate HRTP as a reliable indicator of metabolic training intensity.

Main Methods:

  • Ten trained athletes performed incremental and 30-minute prolonged rowing tests (E and R).
  • Continuous measurement of expired air and heart rate (HR).

  • Blood lactate concentration (La) measured at intervals during prolonged exercise.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in work rate, HR, or VO2 between HRTP and ventilation turn point (V(E)TP(2)).
    • Mean HR, VO2, VCO2, and V(E) were similar between ergometer and single scull rowing.
    • Lactate levels remained stable, with slightly higher values during ergometer rowing.

    Conclusions:

    • HRTP derived from incremental rowing ergometer tests is valid for establishing THR.
    • This THR is consistent with constant metabolic training intensity in prolonged ergometer and single scull rowing.
    • HRTP provides a reliable method for prescribing training intensity in rowing disciplines.
