Differences between elite, junior and non-rowers in kinematic and kinetic parameters during ergometer rowing

► We analyze biomechanics of ergometer rowing of differently skilled rowers. ► We examine how parameters are dependent on stroke rate and their consistency. ► Elite and junior rowers use a similar, consistent rowing technique at all stroke rates. ► Technique of non-rowers varies between rowers and with stroke rate. ► The classifying parameters between elite, junior and non-rowers were identified.
