Rowing is one of the traditional events in the Olympic Games. What is its historical development?

Rowing is mostly carried out in natural waters such as rivers and lakes, with fresh air and plenty of sunshine. Bathing with nature can effectively improve the functions of cardiovascular system and respiratory system, enhance the muscle strength of the whole body, adjust the balance of nervous system, and help to improve the health level of human body. In all kinds of sports, rowers have the largest lung capacity, reaching 7000 ml. Some people call boating lung gymnastics.

Historical Development Rowing originated in Britain and is the most traditional event in the Olympic Games. The first Olympic Games was listed as an official event on 1896, but it was temporarily cancelled due to bad weather. Female athletes 1976 began to participate in the Olympic rowing competition. 1996 At the Atlanta Olympic Games, the lightweight rowing competition and new rules were introduced into the Olympic Games. Men and women also set up lightweight rowing events, and the number of events is still 14. There are 8 men's teams, including 4 single paddle events and 4 double paddle events: single paddle, double paddle, lightweight double paddle, four paddle, double paddle, four paddle, lightweight four paddle and eight paddle (helmsman only). Women's six events, including four-person sculls and two-person single sculls: single sculls, lightweight sculls, four-person sculls, two-person single sculls and eight-person single sculls (helmsman events only).

The rowing schedule is 2000m for men and 2000m for women, and the width of each channel is13.5m.. There are generally six routes, up to eight. Due to different venues, meteorological and hydrological conditions, there is no absolute record of this rowing competition. Athletes must finish the race on their own track. Because the oars are facing the finish line, rowing can be rowed into other people's channels, but it can't affect other people's normal rowing. The ranking is determined according to the order in which the bows reach the finish line. The players who lost in the preliminary round still have a chance to win the final in the semi-finals and semi-finals, and all the rowing teams win the championship.

Rowing competition has fewer restrictions on the audience, so you can shout loudly, beat gongs and drums to refuel, but you must be prepared for sun protection before watching the competition, such as applying sunscreen and wearing a sun hat. In addition, spectators are prohibited from swimming in the competition waters. The main points of rowing are: whether the athletes' movements are coordinated and natural; Whether the water outlet of the blade is light and the water inlet is fast; Whether the waves are smooth when the ship slides; Whether the distance of paddling underwater is suitable for the athlete's body shape; Relationship between propeller frequency and rotational speed.
