ARA Erg Monitoring Program

The erg testing protocol is part of Rowing Canada's new RADAR program which has been in place in both Ontario and B.C. for the past few years.

To better support athlete and coach development, Rowing Canada and consequently the Alberta Rowing Association will be using RADAR as a form of testing and monitoring athletes.

Without getting into specifics RADAR involves a battery of tests that specifically identifies weaknesses and strengths of each individual athlete. The results then allow coaches and athletes alike to formulate an individualized training program that specifically targets an athlete’s area of weakness in future training.

Without laboratory testing, it is only through RADAR’s Battery of Tests that coaches and athletes alike can gain an understanding of individual’s fitness traits and their changes throughout the year.
