NCT ID NCT07752927
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This study compares the effects of an 8-week rowing ergometer training program on aerobic capacity, physical fitness, and psychological factors in novice rowers, professional rowers, and healthy non-exercisers. About 54 adults aged 18-65 will be split into three groups, with rowers training twice weekly while controls maintain usual activities. Researchers will measure changes in rowing performance, heart rate variability, muscle strength, flexibility, and mental toughness to see how training experience influences adaptations.
