Towards determination of power loss at a rowing blade: Validation of a new method to estimate blade force characteristics
Fig 5
Typical examples of (a) the velocity in y’-direction of the location of the blade where the point of application is located (), and (b) the component of Pdefl associated with the perpendicular force.
The bold grey lines represent the reference values obtained using Optotrak and the force transducer, while the black dashed lines are the values obtained using the presented method. Note that the missing data is data in which the parallel force is lower than -30 N and higher than 20 N.
