A new research project on the oar and the rowing system mechanics was started in October. The deficiency of previous studies was due to a lack of data on the points of force application at the oar handle and the blade. This kept unknown the real amount of force, the acting inboard and outboard levers, the gearing ratio,etc. A new measurement method has been developed which fills the above gap in our knowledge and allows us to define the real forces acting on the rowing system and hence the mechanics of power transfer and propulsion efficiency.
