A number of coaches have asked questions, which could be summarised as: "How results on the erg vs. rower`s weight should be used for ranking and selection of rowers?" This question has two parts: 1. Which athlete is stronger, better trained, i.e. how the level of muscles and energy supply systems is related in two rowers of different body mass? 2. How do the erg performances affect on-water results in rowers of different body mass? In this article they will try to answer the first question.
