Rowers

Rowers are athletes who propel boats through water using oars, which are long, paddle-like tools mounted on a boat’s sides. They apply force by pulling the oars toward their bodies, which moves the boat forward. Rowers typically train intensely to develop strength, endurance, and technique, coordinating with teammates in crew boats or competing individually. The sport emphasizes teamwork, rhythm, and efficiency, with races often covering distances like 2000 meters. Whether in recreational or competitive settings, rowers rely on aerobic and muscular stamina to sustain power over extended periods on the water.
