The "catch through the stretcher" concept was described in the RBN 2006/09 and the case study was given in RBN 2014/04. Digital indicators of the catch technique will be defined here, which would help to evaluate it clearer, more accurately and reliably. Conclusion: An effective and dynamic catch requires precise timing of the seat and handle movements, quick blade insertion, fast seat acceleration and increase of force, as well as good synchronisation of these factors in a crew. All these catch factors are now included in BioRow™ testing reports.
