Notes on dragon boat rowing:

1. Hold the paddle:

When paddling, you should relax naturally and do not hold it too tightly to avoid blistering on your palms. The key points for holding the oars in the left row sitting position are the same as those in the right row, as long as the left and right hands are swapped.

2. Sitting posture:

Reasonably use the strength of the legs to push forward and support to stabilize the center of gravity of the body. Use your body to lean forward, twist your trunk, fully extend your shoulders, push your feet forward when pulling water, and push your feet back when moving the oar.

3. Entering the water:

When the left rower paddles, lean forward, rotate the trunk, extend the right shoulder forward, and straighten the right arm forward when the paddle enters the water. The angle must be between 80 and 90 degrees.

4. Pulling the water:

After the oar enters the water, the rower must pull the water immediately. When pulling the water, pull the right arm back and press the left arm down on the oar. The distance of pulling the water should be as long as possible. , the water pulling time should be as short and fast as possible.

5. Paddle discharge:

The water discharge action after the oar pulls water must be standardized. When out of the water, relax your left arm and lift up the oar. Buck your right wrist inwards and lift up the oar so that the oar blades can resist the water. Relax your left and right arms and lift up the oar. The oar should not be lifted too high, just above the water.

6. Push the oar forward:

Press down with your left hand to make the oar almost parallel to the water surface, then push the oar forward with your right arm, and then enter the water. This method is suitable for competition venues with strong wind and waves. The athletes are not tall but have strong arm strength.
