The Oklahoma City National High Performance Center and The Kossev Consortium (http://www.kossevconsortium.org/) hosted a coaching clinic by world-renowned rowing science consultant Valery Kleshnev, Ph.D. on January 10 at the Chesapeake Boathouse.
Dr. Kleshnev is the president and managing director of BioRow Limited (http://www.biorow.com/) and provided coaches with information sessions on rowing biomechanics and technique. The clinic focused on the practical application of biomechanics as it applies to the stroke cycle and performance analysis. Attendees had the opportunity to observe a demonstration of the BioRow Visual Immediate Feedback System (Virtual Reality Goggles).
