Muscle Groups Activated:

1. Lower Body (Legs):
   • Quadriceps (Front of Thigh): Primary movers during the drive phase, extending the knees as you push off the footrests.
   • Hamstrings (Back of Thigh): Assist in knee flexion during the recovery and contribute to leg drive at the start of the stroke.
   • Glutes (Buttocks): Power the hip extension during the drive, providing significant force for the stroke.
   • Calves (Gastrocnemius and Soleus): Engaged during the drive to point the toes (plantarflexion) and stabilise the ankles.
2. Core (Torso):
   • Rectus Abdominis and Obliques: Stabilise the torso and maintain posture, especially during the drive and when leaning back slightly at the end of the stroke.
   • Erector Spinae (Lower Back): Support spinal alignment and assist in the slight backward lean during the drive.
   • Transverse Abdominis: Engages for core stability, preventing excessive spinal movement and aiding power transfer from legs to upper body.
3. Upper Body (Back, Shoulders, Arms):
   • Latissimus Dorsi (Upper Back): Primary muscle for pulling the handle toward the body during the drive, contributing to the rowing motion.
   • Rhomboids and Trapezius (Upper Back/Shoulders): Stabilise the shoulder blades and assist in retracting them during the pull.
   • Deltoids (Shoulders): Support arm movement and stabilise the shoulder joint during the drive and recovery.
   • Biceps Brachii (Front of Upper Arm): Flex the elbows to pull the handle toward the torso at the end of the drive.
   • Triceps Brachii (Back of Upper Arm): Assist in arm extension during the recovery phase as the handle returns to the starting position.
   • Forearm Muscles (Flexors and Extensors): Control grip on the handle and stabilise wrist movements throughout the stroke.

Muscle Engagement by Rowing Phase

• Drive Phase (Power Generation):
  • Begins with leg push (quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves).
  • Core engages to stabilise and transfer power (rectus abdominis, obliques, erector spinae).
  • Upper body finishes the stroke with a pull (lats, rhomboids, trapezius, biceps, deltoids, forearms).
  • Approximately 60% of power comes from legs, 20% from core, and 20% from upper body.
• Recovery Phase (Return to Start):
  • Core stabilises as the torso leans forward (rectus abdominis, obliques).
  • Hamstrings and hip flexors assist in sliding the seat forward.
  • Triceps and forearms extend the arms to return the handle.
  • Calves adjust foot positioning for the next stroke.
