If you are after data for a study of some kind also try hitting Dr. Stephen Seiler. He cycles, used to row, and gets a TON of data by asking for it on his twitter feed. ... we're after absolute. Yes, in contact with a few Olympians and professionals. Im hoping we find some rowers who are too heavy ...

with the legs, lower cadence/higher force = faster fatigue. try doing a 2k test at rate 16-18 and the drag factor at something ridiculous like 170 or 180, vs, rate 32 and 130 (actually, don't try that!) also, when looking at what cyclists do for 20min tests, vs what rowers would do for 6k, bear in ...

I've never seen a study that did power profiling over 1min, 5min, 20min, and 60min with athletes who were equally trained (or equally untrained) in both sports. Sustainable power outputs on the erg are lower than on the bike due to the differences in leverage, the length of the recovery period, and...

So there's that rough +30% Boost again then to go from Erg power to Bike power. I would be interested in say the 1 minute or less, my pick is that its higher than 30% for all out sprints. Really slow on the Erg or the Bike and the boost required would be reduced. Thats a good rough equation to know...

Here's some data Jason Osborne FTP would be ~440 to 460 watts. 20-minute cycling power: ~480 watts (6.67w/kg) 2,000m rowing ergometer score: 6:03 (472 watts) Using 0.95 approximation 20 min to 1 hour his cycling FTP would be 440 to 460 watts. Using calculator below his 6:03 translates to 18,100m in...

Are there any rowers in here that can put out over 400 FTP or over 450 watts for 20 mins, on the bike, regardless of weight?

Hey guys, just wondering if we have any rowers who can put out a 400+ FTP (60 mins) or 450+ 20 min FTP on a bike, regardless of weight??
