Lower body power (LBP) is an important variable in rowing performance. Possible indices of LBP in
rowing are squat jump (SJ), vertical jump (VJ), and passive ankle dorsiflexion (PAD). This study examines
the relationship of selected indices of LBP for male and female rowers with the athlete’s respective
coaches’ rating (CR) of rowing performance. Six male and female collegiate rowers (age=20±2yrs,
height=73.9±2.3in, weight=182±23lbs; and age=20±1yrs, height=67±3in, weight=152±25lbs, respectively)
volunteered for the study.
