    Providing crew rowers with real-time visual feedback on mechanical power output significantly improves their training intensity accuracy and consistency. This enhanced feedback helps athletes better adhere to prescribed training targets for optimal performance.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Science
    • Biomechanics
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • Athletes need accurate feedback to optimize training intensity and performance.
    • Current intensity feedback in crew rowing is often inaccurate.
    • Mechanical power output is a reliable measure of training intensity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate if crew rowers can improve compliance with power-output targets using real-time visual feedback.
    • To assess the impact of additional power-output feedback on rowing intensity regulation.

    Main Methods:

    • 16 crew rowers participated in three training sessions.
    • Sessions 1 and 2 used standard feedback; session 3 included additional real-time power output feedback.
    • Compliance was measured by accuracy (difference from target) and consistency (variations in power output).

    Main Results:

    • Accuracy in meeting power-output targets improved by 65% with additional feedback (P < .001).
    • Consistency, specifically low-frequency variations, improved by 32% (P = .024).
    • Significant discrepancies were observed between prescribed and delivered power outputs.

    Conclusions:

    • Additional power-output feedback enhances crew rowers' compliance with training intensity targets.
    • The findings underscore the importance of objective power-output feedback in rowing training.
    • Coaches may benefit from objective data to better assess rower performance and compliance.
