INTRODUCTION
ROWING IS A WATER SPORT THAT
CONSISTS OF PROPELLING A BOAT
USING OARS. WITH ORIGINS DATING
BACK TO ANCIENT TIMES, MODERN
ROWING HAS BECOME A POPULAR
COMPETITIVE AND RECREATIONAL
SPORT, ESPECIALLY IN COUNTRIES
WITH A TRADITION OF WATER SPORTS.
CONTENT
ROWING IS DONE IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF BOATS, WHICH
VARY IN SIZE AND NUMBER OF ROWERS:
TYPES OF BOATS:
SCULL: EACH ROWER HANDLES TWO OARS, ONE IN EACH
HAND. THERE ARE SINGLE SCULLS (SINGLE SCULL), DOUBLE
SCULLS (DOUBLE SCULL) AND QUADRUPLE SCULLS
(QUADRUPLE SCULL).
POINT ROWING: EACH ROWER HANDLES A SINGLE OAR.
THERE ARE MODALITIES WITH AND WITHOUT COXSWAIN (TO
STEER THE BOAT), SUCH AS THE PAIR, THE FOUR AND THE
EIGHT WITH COXSWAIN (EIGHT).
TÉCNICA:
FASE DE ATAQUE: EL REMERO
INTRODUCE LOS REMOS EN EL AGUA,
UTILIZANDO LA FUERZA DE LAS
PIERNAS, EL TORSO Y LOS BRAZOS PARA
IMPULSAR LA EMBARCACIÓN.
FASE DE RECUPERACIÓN: DESPUÉS DEL
IMPULSO, LOS REMOS SALEN DEL AGUA Y
EL REMERO SE PREPARA PARA EL
SIGUIENTE ATAQUE.
ENTRENAMIENTO: EL REMO REQUIERE UNA
COMBINACIÓN DE RESISTENCIA, FUERZA Y
TÉCNICA. LOS REMEROS ENTRENAN TANTO EN
EL AGUA COMO EN TIERRA, UTILIZANDO
MÁQUINAS DE REMO (ERGÓMETROS) PARA
SIMULAR EL MOVIMIENTO.
EL REMO SE PRACTICA TANTO EN AGUAS
TRANQUILAS (REMO OLÍMPICO) COMO EN AGUAS
BRAVAS (REMO DE RÍO), Y ES PARTE DEL
PROGRAMA DE LOS JUEGOS OLÍMPICOS DESDE
1900.

CONCLUSION
ROWING IS A SPORT THAT REQUIRES A
COMBINATION OF STRENGTH, ENDURANCE
AND COORDINATION, AND STANDS OUT FOR
THE IMPORTANCE OF TEAMWORK.
TECHNICAL PRECISION AND PHYSICAL
EFFORT MAKE ROWING NOT ONLY A
DEMANDING SPORT, BUT ALSO AN ACTIVITY
THAT SYMBOLIZES THE SPIRIT OF
COOPERATION AND SYNCHRONIZATION
AMONG ROWERS.
