Abstract

This study aimed to analyse the first 250 m in rowing (2000 m) racing by finding the relationship between some biomechanical variables and the achievement(time) of the race. The study design was an analytical descriptive method linked to the relationship between variables, with the intention of selected the participants which is represented by 6 of the best achievements players from the Iraqi National Youth Team for rowing, All participants performed the test between 13:00 - 14:00 h afternoons, which is the same weekly training time for participants. The level of the relationship between the biomechanical variables and the achievement was uneven in terms of the strength and weakness of the relationship, however, the research ended in results that can be used as a guide for the training rowing. It very important to focus on the training of special endurance because of it an important factor in this types of racing which require the rower to stay in the same velocity to the end of the race, this can be as a proposed study.
