In this article I will try to provide data that answers four distinct questions: 1.What are the Ergometer Performances of Elite Rowers? 2.How do Heavyweight and Lightweight Performers Compare? 3.How Do Male and Female Performers Compare? 4.Can Ergometer Performances be used to accurately predict On-Water Performance? The ergometer data I have used for this analysis comes from actual U.S. National Team test results submitted by team candidates in all, 1994. Data is broken down by gender and weight class. From these listings, average data for the top 10 performers in each group were used for comparisons. These data can be considered representative of world class performances based on the multiple medals earned by the U.S teams in 1993, 1994 and 1995 World Rowing Championship events. Three ergometer performance times are used by the U.S. National team coaches: the 500 meter, the 2000 meter, and the 6000 meter time trial. All are performed on Concept II ergometers.
