Masters scullers range in age from Grade AA (21 in the US) or Grade A
(27 in the UK) to Grade M (89 plus). Although diverse in age, these
athletes all have one thing in common - they are each unique. This book
partners with each individual athlete to achieve performance
improvements based on their own aspirations, technical skill and fitness
level. The focus is on understanding and efficiency, both in the
acquisition of skills and training. The dynamic technique described
offers scullers a high-performance sculling approach, carefully tailored
to support a Masters sculler's long-term career. Illustrated with superb
colour photographs, diagrams and a wealth of examples, coverage includes
individual assessment of an athlete's sculling skills, flexibility and
aerobic fitness; compilation and application of evidence-based data;
formation of highly individual training programmes; experiments for
athletes to explore their connectedness, versatility and speed, and
finally, race strategies and plans for competitive athletes. Based on
the athlete's needs and aspirations, Masters Sculling provides you with
the knowledge and skills to build an individual training plan that
minimizes injury risk, achieves continuous improvement and fosters a
lifelong enjoyment of the sport.
