PHRE 3044 – Special Populations

This course focuses on adaptive exercise techniques for a variety of populations (i.e. children, pregnancy, older adults, disabilities, and chronic disease). Students will learn how to modify exercises and/or equipment to effectively and safely accommodate these groups.

Description:

10 Sec Peak Power Test

Peak Power is measured with a 10s erg test.

Warm up by rowing easy for 5-10 minutes. At the end of your warm up come to a full stop and let the fly wheel stop. On a Concept II set the drag factor to 190. The high drag factor is necessary to provide adequate resistance so that you can hit a true peak power.

Set your monitor so that you can see the watts for each stroke. From a stop row as hard and as fast as possible for 10 seconds, recording the highest power you see on any stroke. Rest for 3-5 minutes and repeat again. There is a slight learning effect when you first do this test so you might want to do it 2-3 times to get a true peak power score.

1-Min Test

Warm up by rowing easy for 5-10 minutes. At the end of your warm up come to a full stop and let the fly wheel stop.

For this test, you will want the drag factor set as follow: males - 130, females: - 110.

Set your monitor so that you can see the watts for each stroke. From a stop row as hard and as fast as possible for a full minute, recording your distance covered and the average watts you output for the test.

Performance Standards

Because body weight will have a significant impact on rowing performance power to weight ratios have been developed for men and women at different performance levels (table 1).
