Six-minute rowing test: a practical tool for training prescription, from ventilatory thresholds and power outputs, in amateur male rowers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The 6-minute rowing ergometer test (6-min_RT) is valid and reliable for establishing maximal aerobic power (MAP) in amateur male rowers. However, ventilatory thresholds (VTs) have not yet been established with their mechanical correspondence in this test.

Objective

The primary objective was to determine the VTs in the 6-min_RT achieved by amateur male rowers, while the secondary objective was to determine the correspondence between ventilatory, mechanical, and heart rate (HR) outcomes of the 6-min_RT.

Methods

Sixteen amateur male rowers were part of the study. All participants were instructed to perform an incremental test (IT) and a 6-min_RT. Determination of the ventilatory parameters for the first ventilatory thres
