Rowers in 1900<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDifferent models have tried to measure the friction or intensity of rowing movements to keep track of performance.<\/p>\n
But only thanks to Gjessing Nilson<\/strong> in the 70s -who introduced the use of ballast weights- really began to have concrete results.<\/p>\nUsing different weights, students were able to monitor their rowing performance and work to improve both strength and technique.<\/p>\n
But the real\u00a0Achilles’\u00a0heel of these models was the design. <\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n The movements were not the most fluid and their design was often too complex to easily move machines from one place to another.<\/p>\n
<\/span>The 80s and mass production<\/span><\/h2>\nIt was in the early 1980s that rowing machines really began to be seen as practical training options.<\/p>\n
With an increasingly lightweight design, rowing machines began to be able to be transported. Allowing athletes to train more comfortably.<\/p>\n
In addition, it was the 80s that introduced the technology of air resistance<\/strong> that changed the world of rowing forever.<\/p>\nAt the beginning of the 80s an Australian company -very famous among us sportsmen- launched the first indoor rowing machine with adjustable resistance. The combination of flywheel design with the incorporation of air resistance allowed the production of the first Concept2- the MODEL A.<\/p>\n

Rowing machines were part of the digital revolution that saw the early stages of digital performance detection used on rowing machines.<\/p>\n
In this period, some pneumatic solutions were also produced, but they were not able to become popular, especially among domestic users because they were still not convenient.<\/p>\n
<\/span>The present<\/span><\/h2>\nRowing machines have never been as reliable and capable as they are today.<\/p>\n
Many of them come with folding designs, recommended for both professional training and home use. With fully digitalized experiences, they can accomodate multiple users and represent one of the most successful solutions for weight loss and fun training.<\/p>\n
The low impact of the rowing machine on the joints allows this type of training to be used by anyone who wants to keep fit, not only real rowers.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s rowing machines are equipped with different levels of resistance and are created for maximum connectivity.<\/p>\n
If you train with a modern rowing machine, you have the possibility to transfer, store and keep track of your training results. This comes in handy from different perspectives, especially when training for a goal, such as improved cardiovascular endurance. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nAir resistance and magnetic resistance are the 2 most commonly used systems on modern rowing machines. Water rowing machines are also available. Although they are more expensive, they are the types of machines that allow you the closest experience to rowing in the water. They are often paired with wooden frames to provide a truly premium training experience.<\/p>\n

But this is not the case, as the history of rowing has already shown: changes are often much faster than you think.<\/p>\n
One of the areas that should have a major impact on future training is wearable technologies.<\/p>\n
These technologies are generally expensive for the occasional user, they are becoming more convenient. Several solutions can now also be purchased by the home user.<\/p>\n
This means being able to monitor the biomechanics of their movements and analyze them with the help of their coach.<\/p>\n
The history of the rowing machine is deeply rooted in competitions but has become more and more current and accessible to the general public.<\/p>\n
We are sure that the rowing machine is his way still holds many surprises.<\/p>\n
