SCIENCE & METHOD

Useful models. Clear assumptions. No false certainty.

Rowing Peak uses established physiology and performance models to solve practical training problems. The method pages explain what each model can tell you, what evidence the product uses and where the limits are.

01

ZONES · STEADY TRAINING

Rowing heart-rate zones, UT2, UT1 and AT.

How Rowing Peak establishes transparent starting bands, handles settling and cardiac drift, and separates training evidence from independently measured physiological boundaries.

Read the Zones method
02

INTERVALS · STRUCTURED TRAINING

Critical Power, W′ and repeatable interval work.

What the two-parameter power-duration model means, how it can support interval forecasting and why W′ recovery remains an explicitly uncertain part of the problem.

Read the Intervals method
03

TARGET · PERFORMANCE TESTING

Comparable benchmarks and pacing references.

Why Target keeps the test, machine and stroke-rate constraint explicit, uses achieved pace rather than an opaque predicted score, and separates result from pacing analysis.

04

ROWING PEAK · SHARED METHOD

How completed rows become evidence.

Machine provenance, comparable sessions, execution quality, confidence and the rules Rowing Peak uses to stop one kind of evidence being mistaken for another.

THE STANDARD

Scientific backing does not mean pretending a model is physiology itself.

Where research is strong, Rowing Peak uses it. Where evidence is incomplete, modality-specific or contested, the product says so. Forecasts are presented as forecasts, and stronger individual evidence can replace generic starting assumptions where the product supports it.
