Rowing machines

ROWING AND SKIING MACHINES

Among the sports equipment in demand on the world market today, home and professional rowing machines are especially popular. They are purchased not only for gyms, but also for non-commercial use at home. Simulating rowing with oars, these machines provide a quality load on the muscles and contribute to the rapid burning of calories. This makes them especially valuable among users who seek to lose weight and get a toned figure.

Rowing machines are good because they affect almost all muscle groups, as well as the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Rowing not only strengthens muscles and ligaments, but also helps to improve posture and develop endurance. There are few contraindications for rowing on the simulator - usually doctors do not recommend the use of this equipment for people with serious diseases of the spine. At the same time, many medical centers use rowing machines in their rehabilitation programs for patients with various orthopedic problems.

Professional or amateur?

The choice of simulators for simulating rowing is quite large and it is quite simple to buy a rowing machine for home or commercial use. Manufacturers of fitness equipment offer models with different principles of operation, functionality, dimensions and, of course, price. Like any other simulators, rowing machines are divided into two broad categories: professional and amateur.

Products for commercial use are used in gyms and fitness clubs, where the load on the equipment is very high. Rowing professional simulators are based on a solid frame, as well as a hardy mechanical part. Such sports equipment can be used by people with a weight exceeding 150 kg. Friction units in this sports equipment are made using wear-resistant materials and, often, innovative technologies. The electronic module of such equipment has advanced functionality with built-in training programs and, almost always, a system for monitoring cardiac activity.

Amateur rowing machines are not designed for intense and prolonged loads. These are typical home cardio machines that all family members can use. Home equipment is smaller and lighter than professional equipment, but cannot boast of a high “carrying capacity” - usually the maximum user weight recommended by the manufacturer does not exceed 120 kg. This fitness equipment is just as effective as the commercial ones, it just isn't designed for long hours of hard work.

Differences in the design of rowing machines

Rowing machines are also distinguished by the way they create resistance. Well-known world brands offer consumers the following types of equipment:

• With air resistance. In these simulators, the load is created by an impeller rotating in the casing, changing the angle of the blades of which increases or decreases air resistance;
• With hydraulic resistance. The main part of such devices is a special container with water, in which there is a wheel with blades. As with air-type models, changing the parameters of the impeller affects its fluid resistance;
• Electromagnetic rowing machines. The change in the load in them is provided by the action of electricity on the magnetic device.

Branded professional cardio equipment that simulates rowing has air or hydraulic resistance. They are extremely reliable and able to provide a wide range of loads. In home models, most often, the electromagnetic principle of operation is used. They do not make noise when used, but are less practical.
