Power Per Stroke Rowing
Power per stroke rowing measures watts each stroke on the erg. High watts at moderate stroke rate signals efficiency; high rate with low watts signals technical waste.
Power per stroke rowing is average watts delivered each stroke—force times handle speed—rather than stroke rate alone. Efficient rowers produce high watts at moderate SPM; inefficient rowers spin high rate with low watts.
PM5 displays watts directly; compare watts at fixed drag across weeks. Drills that pause at the finish build feel for stronger drives.
Common questions
-
How do I increase power per stroke?
Improve leg connection, back swing timing, and relaxed recovery—rate increases only after each stroke produces more watts at the same drag.
