Description
Summary:Theinfluence of situational and temporal variables on performance in team sports has been extensively studied. However, this aspect has not yet been investigated within traditional fixed-bench rowing. The aim of this research was to analyse the influence of age, team situation, performance level, lane, and time of each length on the final outcome of the rowing regattas. A total of 205 boats from the 12 clubs that participated in the 18 regattas of the 2020 season of the Eusko Label Liga (league organised by the Association of Traineras Clubs, ACT) were analysed. The results show that the high-level teams recorded lower times in all the lengths compared to the medium and low-level teams. The mean difference in final times per race was 4 seconds lower for the home teams compared to the visiting teams. There is a high correlation between the times recorded on lengths 1 and 3 with respect to the final outcome of the regatta. An awareness of this aspect can help to create a race strategy to make a bigger difference during the regatta.
