Background: The aim of this study is to determine the relation between anaerobic power outputs
and 2000 meter rowing ergometer scores.
Method: Randomly selected nine elite youth male rowers participated in the current study.
Modified Wingate test and 2000 meter rowing ergometer tests were applied to subjects using
Concept II-D rowing ergometer. The results of the study was discussed by the anaerobic power
outputs, the time for 500 m intervals at a 2000 m rowing ergometer performance and some
anthropometric variables.
Results: Data were presented as mean and SD for description porpuse. Variables were analysed
and correlation coefficients were calculated by using Sperman’s Corelation. As the result;
significant and high negative correlation between 2000 m ergometer performance and mean
anaerobic power was found (r = - 0.837; p = 0.005).
Conclusion: It has been understood that anaerobic energy system whereby the energy requirements
at start and finish stages during 2000-mt performance and aerobic system are important
complements of racing performances of rowing athletes.
