Review: This is the latest book in the series covering sports from alpine skiing to volleyball. It aims to provide feed-back to rowers on the data that has been gathered not only for scientific purposes, but also to guide them and their coaches in their training, testing and team selection. Many competitive rowers will have knowledge of their own physiological profile and the text aims to help them by providing a perspective on that profile. There is also information on the history and organization of rowing and regattas that will help novice rowers and rowers participating in national or international regattas for the first time. There is also information for the recreational rower, those involved in competitions on the sea, and those who continue rowing throughout life.
