Finally, I think there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate that performance does not follow a straight-line. I don't know...after a lot of reading studies and comparing a lot of data I can imagine, that in the end the AVERAGE decline in performance maybe simple just something like 1%(in wattage) ...

Thank you for providing the erg community with this program and, also, for updating it continually, Siebe. It is very useful.

Thanks, I'm still impressed by the speed of the search-engine (https://solr.apache.org/) the website uses.

Hi Siebe, are you still interested in ideas related to setting up a competition accross ages? The following is a relatively simple idea for a transparant ranking: Each individual in a given category (HW-M, LW-M, HW-F, or LW-F) who beats at least one other person in the same category receives a PBYA...

Hi all, I was quite involved in other software-development projects, and my personal fitness was also in issue.... But now I'm back into rowing and may have some extra time to spend on new ideas. I will keep you posted. Btw, the issue where the search-engine after a few days stopped working was not ...

Solved issues: Lately there were some issues with the search engine. It sometimes stopped working. You could search for virtual things that were not really searchable like Wattage and Km/h. You could search for alphabetical data in numeric-fields And search for time-data went wrong because time-data...

For anybody who is interested in age-related decline in the normal rowing machine, I have created a daily cronjob that exports csv's into a zip. For every distance/time, weight-class and gender a csv-file is generated. In each csv-file there are rows for the best performance per age as long as there...

In the above equation the performance drop with age accelerates (as data indicates), and results in an ever faster performance drop.

After studying age-decline in several distances, I have found that the acceleration in the drop of performance is quite subtle

For anybody who is interested, I have made csv-export's of all best performances for the normal rower. They are split into: distance/time, weight-class and gender In each file there are rows for the best performance per age as long as there are more than 5 performances for that age. You can downloa...

think you'll find most erg WRs are done by athletes in the 30-40 age group than the 20-30.

Take a look at https://www.rankedworkouts.com
Select your filters and discover it's fifty/fifty.

Many thanks for all your hard work and interesting formula. The data is also missing from most of the very best as there erg performances are kept from international competitors. So data will always be deficient. Personally I see the Nonathlon as something for older athletes to aspire to when there...

No age grouper should come up above them.

Henry, that is a fair point. (Maybe the formula has to take this more into account).
But on the other hand some do have extraordinary talent to achieve great performances but were not in the position to do that at their 20-30's.

I have been busy for a while and did not read this threat. Very interesting formula's.
Did you find something similar for the shorter work where it seems that age does not have the same impact on performance as does endurance?
As you maybe know I'm trying to solve this issue as well for my site.

Sorry Siebe, my unreserved apologies, I see what I am saying has been indexed. I had the verified settings on “yes” rather than “race”. Are Race and yes not technically the same thing since they are both verified? Hi Freddie, Verified=Yes and Verified=Race are almost the same. Concept2 makes 1 exce...

Hi Freddie, I just finished the implementation of the WR-records on https://www.concept2.co.uk/indoor-rowers/racing/records/world. The code tries to find matching records that were found on https://log.concept2.com/rankings, based on name, season, age and speed. So if one these properties differs i...
