Introduction:
As a popular home fitness equipment, rowing machines are favored by many fitness enthusiasts for their unique resistance training features.
This article will give you a detailed answer from the resistance principle of rowing machine, the resistance setting method and the resistance characteristics of different brands of rowing machines.
1. The resistance principle of the rowing machine
1. Water resistance rowing machine
The resistance of a water resistance rowing machine comes from the water in the tank.
When rowing, the paddle rotates in the water to create resistance, and the amount of resistance is related to the paddle area, rowing speed, and water volume.
In general, the faster the rowing speed, the larger the paddle area, and the more water volume, the greater the resistance.
2. Magnetoresistive rowing machine
The resistance of a reluctance rowing machine comes from the magnetic force between the magnet and the flywheel.
By adjusting the distance between the magnet and the flywheel, the magnetic force can be changed, so that the resistance can be adjusted.
The resistance adjustment range of the reluctance rowing machine is relatively small, but the adjustment accuracy is high.
3. Hydromagnetic double resistance rowing machine
The hydromagnetic double resistance rowing machine combines two resistance methods, water resistance and magnetic resistance, which can be achieved by adjusting the amount of water and magnetic force.
This rowing machine has a wider range of resistance and can be adjusted according to individual needs.
Second, the resistance setting method of the rowing machine
1. Set the resistance according to the purpose of the training
- Fat Loss: Resistance is set to the lower to medium to maintain a fast rowing speed and improve cardio results.
- Toning: Resistance is set to the upper medium to increase muscle tightness for a sculpting effect.
- Strength training: Resistance is set to the maximum extent to increase muscle strength.
2. Set resistance according to individual physical fitness
- Beginners: Start with low resistance and gradually get used to and improve your rowing skills.
- Intermediate Gymmakers: Choose moderate resistance for cardio and strength training.
- Advanced Bodybuilder: Choose high resistance for high-intensity training.
3. Resistance characteristics of different brands of rowing machines
1.Firstdegree
The resistance of the Firstdegree Water Resistance Rowing Machine is related to the rowing speed, frequency of movement, and resistance level.
At the same resistance level, the faster the rowing speed and the higher the frequency of movement, the greater the resistance.
2.绝影XENJOY
The world's first EMS hydromagnetic double-resistance rowing machine released by Jueying XENJOY responds quickly to resistance switching, with more accurate resistance and a higher upper limit of resistance.
3. Merrick
The Merrick Double Resistance Rowing Machine supports 16 levels of solenoid-controlled resistance, and the knob can be used to quickly and accurately adjust the gear to meet different training needs.
4.SUNNY
SUNNY magnetically controlled silent rowing machine adopts magnetically controlled flywheel design and 8-level resistance design to meet different fitness needs.
Summary:
The appropriate resistance of a rowing machine needs to be considered based on factors such as the purpose of the training, the individual's physical fitness, and the brand chosen.
Setting the resistance reasonably can not only improve the training effect, but also ensure the safety of the exercise.
When choosing a rowing machine, it is recommended that you choose the right resistance type and resistance range according to your needs and preferences.
