Cardiac Case Study

Professor Henning Bay Nielsen shares how rowing produces marked changes in oxygen uptake, pulmonary ventilation, cardiac output and lactate with extreme levels for blood acid-base status and pronounced concentration of catecholamines in blood that could affect coagulation. With development of potassiaemia arrhythmia may even be developed that most often may be of supraventricular origin but sudden cardiac death is reported in rowers.

Structural myocardial adaptations to intense rowing training that demands the heart to work against high pressure during the stroke need to be considered. Rare cardiac diseases such as the Brugada syndrome and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy may also provoke cardiac arrest during exercise. The latter is related to genetic disorders but myocarditis could be involved and following rowing the immune system is suppressed.

Improving Performance Naturally: Sports Science & Medicine Conference for the World’s Leading Sports Scientists and Medical Practitioners in Rowing

The Sports Science & Medicine Conference was held for the first time at the SAS UK & Ireland company headquarters in Marlow. The conference had delegates attend from a variety of Sports Science and Medical disciplines, who travelled from within the UK and around the world – all attracted by an exciting programme which boasts an impressive list of speakers from the leading edge of research and practice.
