As the Olympic Games has set up rowing events, there are many individual events, and countries attach great importance to rowing, which has promoted the development of this sport.

What determines rowing?

Rowing is a water sport. One or more rowers sit on the boat with their backs to the direction of the boat, and use their muscle strength to paddle through the simple leverage of paddles and paddles to make the boat move forward. A ship may or may not have a helmsman.

Rowing is mostly carried out in natural waters such as rivers and lakes, with fresh air and plenty of sunshine. Bathing in nature can effectively improve the cardiovascular and respiratory functions of human body, enhance the muscle strength of the whole body, adjust the balance of nervous system, and help to improve the health level of human body. The vital capacity of rowers ranks first in all sports, reaching 7000 ml. Some people call boating lung gymnastics.

At the beginning of the rowing competition, the boats lined up at the starting line. After the starter gives the order, each boat paddles to the finish line with the fastest speed, and the victory or defeat of the race is judged by the order in which the bow reaches the finish line. In natural waters, the weather will have an impact on the competition results, and even the weather will change before and after the competition between the two groups, so the competition results are not absolutely comparable. So there is no world record for rowing performance.
