RSP ROW SPINNING Training System for precise rowing workout

Product Information

Description

The RSP Row Spinning is an innovative training device specifically designed for high-performance athletes in the sport of rowing. It optimizes power development in the first phase of the rowing movement, thereby enhancing performance and efficiency.

With individually adjustable resistance and a realistic simulation of the rowing motion, the machine enables precise training that directly translates to on-water performance. Thanks to the unique rope system and a flywheel, the recovery phase is actively improved, and force application is perfected.

How to use row spinning?

RSP row spinning allows for a realistic simulation of various rowing movements. The settings can be customised to match the movement precisely with the sequence in the water.

Adjustment options and usage instructions:

• Rope adjustment: An additional 5 cm of rope play makes it easier to change direction and ensures smooth transitions without abrupt movements.
• Cable length: The cable length is based on the distance travelled in the water when rowing, which enables precise power transmission.
• Flywheel resistance: The flywheel allows for a controlled recovery phase in which movements are braked and re-accelerated. This promotes efficiency and precision in the application of force.

The interaction between the flywheel and 1×2 gear system supports the control of force in the concentric and eccentric phase, which optimises technique and targeted strength development.

Features

• Targeted strength training: Optimizing the application of force in the first phase of the rowing movement.

Technical Terms and Explanations

Rowing Movement (First Phase):

The rowing movement consists of several phases. The first phase, known as the "drive," is the moment when the rower applies force to the oar blade to accelerate the boat. This phase requires the most power.

Flywheel:

A flywheel is a heavy, rotating disc that creates resistance when it is set in motion or slowed down. In the RSP Row Spinning, it simulates the resistance of water, allowing the athlete to precisely control their force application and improve the recovery phase (return motion).

Rope System (1x2 Gear Ratio):

A 1x2 gear ratio means that the movement of the rope is “translated.” When the athlete pulls the rope, the tension doubles, creating higher resistance. This particularly challenges the athlete during the concentric (pulling) movement.

Moment of Inertia:

The moment of inertia describes how much force is required to set a rotating object (e.g., the flywheel) in motion or slow it down. By adding steel weights, this resistance can be adjusted individually. A higher moment of inertia simulates tougher conditions, such as rowing a larger or heavily loaded boat.

Concentric Phase:

The concentric phase is the moment when the muscle generates force and shortens, such as during the pulling motion of the rope (the drive phase in rowing).

Eccentric Phase:

The eccentric phase follows the concentric movement. Here, the muscle works against resistance and brakes in a controlled manner. In the RSP Row Spinning, this happens when the flywheel is slowed down before starting the next pull movement.

Gear Ratio Translation:

“Gear ratio translation” refers to a mechanical adjustment that increases resistance. Here, the combination of the rope system and gear ensures that the resistance when pulling the rope is higher than on a standard training device.

Simulation of Rowing Movement:

The device simulates the rowing motion so realistically that the rope length and generated resistance match the actual rowing experience on water.

Recovery Phase:

The recovery phase describes the moment when the rower prepares the position for the next pull (return motion). Controlling the deceleration of the flywheel improves force control during this phase.

Individual Adjustment of Moment of Inertia:

With the included steel weights, the resistance of the flywheel can be adjusted. The more weight that is added, the harder it becomes to set the flywheel in motion or slow it down. This allows personalized training based on fitness level and goals.

Simplified Example of Using the Term “Moment of Inertia”:

Imagine rowing in a heavy boat with a lot of cargo. The device simulates this resistance using the flywheel and steel weights, allowing you to train exactly how to apply your force to accelerate the boat.
