Completely different modelling approaches for answering practical issues in the Sport of rowing are presented in the third chapter. On the one hand, methods from classical Newtonian mechanics are applied; on the other, the potential of data-driven models is assessed. Moreover, it is demonstrated that different factors have to be considered when assessing performance in a particular sport. In the case of rowing, the outcome of a competition is not only affected by the motion technique, which is the main focus of the chapter, but also by the athletes` physical features and the tactical behavior.
