3. HISTORY OF ROWING
• Is very old and unknown
• It´s considered that rowing as a
sport was born in Great Britain
• The first news we have of this
activity as a competition takes us
back 4000 years before Jesus Christ
in Ancient Egypt
4. FIRST COMPETITIONS
• An important step in the development
of rowing was taken in 1793
• Oxford University followed suit in 1815.
Thus the first university school
competitions emerged.
• Specifically, one of the most famous
regattas in the world, the Oxford-
Cambridge Regatta, had its first edition
on June 10, 1829, before more than
20,000 spectators.
5. ROWING IN SPAIN
• Two paths:
• Rowing on a fixed bench
• Rowing on a mobile bench
• Already in 1821 there are news of
the activities carried out by the
Real Club de Regatas de Barcelona
6. FIXED BENCH ROWING
• It´s not Olympic but can be both
amateur and professional As its
name indicates
• The bench does not move, that is,
the body moves from the waist up.
The oars are attached to the carel
of the boat on poles and the union
between these and the oars is a
kind of braided ring of natural or
synthetic rope, which is called a
strobo.
9. MOBILE BENCH ROWING
• Olympic sport
• 2,000 m with shorter distances for certain
categories and non-Olympic modalities.
• There are also long-distance and marathon
regattas.
• It distinguishes between heavy and light
weights as well as male and female crews.
• In this mode, the bench is mobile, so you
move both your legs and your arms. A
main characteristic of the mobile bench oar
is that the oars are supported by bearings
placed outboard on carriers.
10. PARTS OF THE MOBILE BENCH BOAT
• Bearings: They are structures that are
placed on the bands (port, starboard
or both if it is a couple), which serve to
place the bearing outside the boat and
thus allow the creation of a lever with
the oar with which to apply force and
move the boat .
• Chumacera: it is a piece where the oar
is supported that allows it to rotate
longitudinally and in the vertical axis
