Abstract

Cilj ovog završnog rada je biomehanička analiza pokreta veslanja u osmercu, s naglaskom na tehničkoj preciznosti i usklađenosti posade. Veslanje u osmercu kao timska disciplina ovisi o mnogim faktorima kao što su snaga, kondicijska izdržljivost, antropološke mjere, a ključ uspjeha leži u tehničkoj usavršenosti svakog pojedinca i njihovoj sinkronizaciji unutar posade. Pravilna izvedba pokreta temelj je učinkovitosti, dok usklađenost svih veslača omogućuje optimalan prijenos sile i maksimalnu brzinu čamca. Međutim, iako je kondicijska izdržljivost u ovoj disciplini od izuzetne važnosti, između dva veslača iste kondicijske spreme, prednost će uvijek imati onaj s pravilnijom tehnikom. Stoga će se u ovom radu iznijeti savjeti za poboljšanje tehnike pri izvedbi veslačkog pokreta, no osim svrhe same optimizacije, važnost točnog izvođenja pokreta je i radi prevencije ozljeda. Provedena je detaljna analiza ključnih faza zaveslaja – zahvata, provlaka i kraja zaveslaja i oporavka pri čemu su definirane najčešće tehničke pogreške kod manje iskusnih veslača, poput lošeg položaja tijela, nepravilne koordinacije pokreta i neučinkovitog prijenosa sile. Osim toga razmatrane su i ergonomijske karakteristike koje utječu na izvedivost tih pokreta. Razumijevanje biomehanike veslanja ključno je za poboljšanje tehnike pojedinca i optimizaciju rada cijele posade. Saznanja iz ove analize mogu se koristiti za unaprijeđenje treninga i postizanje vrhunskih rezultata u ovoj disciplini.

Abstract (english)

The goal of this thesis is to conduct a biomechanical analysis of the rowing motion in an eight,
with a focus on tehnical precision and crew synchronization. As a team sport, rowing in an eight
depends on numerous factors such as strength, physical endurance and anthropological
measures, with success primarily relying on the technical proficiency of each individual and
their coordination within the crew. Proper execution of movement is the foundation of the
efficiency, while the synchronization of all rowers ensures optimal force transfer and maximum
boat speed. Although physical endurance is extremely important in this discipline, between two
rowers of the same fitness level, the one with a more correct tecnique is better. Therefore, this
paper will provide guidelines for improwing rowing technique, not only for the purpose of
optimizing performance but also for injury prevention.
This study analyzes the key phases of the rowing stroke – catch, drive, finish and recovery and
the most common mistakes made by less experienced rowers, such as poor body positioning,
improper movement coordination and inefficient force transfer. Additionally, ergonomic
characteristics affecting the feasibility of these movements have been considered.
Understanding the biomechanics of rowing is crucial for improving individual technique and
optimizing the performance of the entire crew. The findings of this analysis can be used to
enhance training methods and achieve top-level results in this discipline.
