Actually it's the same - womens double sculls record is 6:37.3 and mens single is 6:30.7. A premium male athlete will go faster than a premium female athlete, and 2 athletes will go faster than one - both pretty much cancel each other out, so both times are within 1% of each other. As for why 2 athletes go faster: 2x weight and 2x power. 2x weight = 2x volume displacement = 1.4 (root of 2)x area displacement, hence double the power but only 1.4 times the drag. This is also why men go faster - as well as having a slightly higher power to weight ratio, they have higher weight limit (70kg compared to 57kg for women). Heavier rowers perform better on water due to disproportional displacement. Men go about 9% faster than women, and doubles go about 8% faster than singles - so you have a pretty fair test.

Assuming that you place two equally good athletes each in their specialty, the kayak will always be faster at the start and in a short race, but in a race of 500 meters or more the rower will always be the winner. Neither is better than the other, they are simply different sports.

That's a result I didn't expect! This prompted me to look at the record times for rowing, kayaking, and canoeing events. The standard length for a rowing event is 2000m. The closest length to that for kayaking and canoeing events is 1000m. In the following list, I doubled the times for the 1000m kayaking and canoeing events just for purposes of comparison. I wouldn't expect the same pace to be maintained for twice the distance. I could not find a record time for a woman's 1000m canoeing event. Men M1x 2000m Single Scull - Mahe Drysdale - 6m 33.35s Men K1 1000m Kayak - Max Hoff - 3m 22.485s x 2 = 6m 44.970s Men C1 1000m Canoe - Sebastian Brendel - 3m 44.578s x 2 = 7m 29.156s Women W1x 2000m Single Scull - Rumyana Neykova - 7m 7.71s Women K1 1000m Kayak - Teneale Hatton - 3m 48.560s x 2 = 7m 37.120s The kayaks are definitely faster than the canoes, and the sculls are definitely faster than the kayaks, but I didn't expect the time margins to be so narrow between the kayaks and the sculls given that the rowers are able to use the strength of their legs. Another interesting thing is that the kayaker in the video jumped to an immediate lead but didn't increase it by much for the remainder of the race. Perhaps the smaller mass of the kayak allows for a significant acceleration advantage.

Kayakers do use their legs. If you pay attention to the way sprint kayakers paddle, the kayakers are driving their legs to shift their body left and right with each stroke, providing a driving force that increases the power of a stroke exponentially and also allowing a kayaker to more effectively use their core and back muscles. In fact, in an optimal kayak stroke the arms don't do much at all, they mostly maintain optimal paddle entry and placement for power application (of course, they also apply a lot of force movement wise, but not as much as most would think). It's mainly the back, core and leg muscles that do the work in a kayak stroke. And you're right - the kayaker in the video gained a lead very quickly. That's primarily down to the stroke rate - professional kayakers can put down up to 120-130 strokes per minute in sprint races. Although a kayak stroke by nature is less powerful than a rower's stroke, kayakers put down a LOT more strokes - in your average pro race, most kayakers average out at around 90-100 strokes per minute, while rowers average out at 50-60 strokes a minute at best. When you can put down nearly double the strokes, you're obviously going to get off the line faster.

@TheOriginalFlameBoy

7 жыл бұрын

Greg didn't say kayakers don't use their legs, he only referred to how much more power a rower gets from their legs. You only have to look at the athletes' physiologies to see that kayakers are upper body dominant and rowers are lower body dominant (when compared with each other). And I'm not sure how you row but I've never seen a boat average 50-60 strokes a minute. The fastest men's 8s in the world will get off the start in the high 40s and settle in the high 30s for the vast majority of the race.

The World Record for the K1 500m is 1:35. The World Best Time for the M1x is 6:30 for 2000m. Robbie Manson did 1:38.3 for the first 500m when he set this record and his average split was about 1:37.5. While rowers don't train specifically for 500m races, a world class 1x sculler needs to be able to do better than 1:35 for 500m. And the rate for a max 500 m piece should be in the 40-46spm range.

Everyone should know the intention of all these videos are to insult the sport of rowing (despite the purposely misleading title).

Always looking forward to these

Worlds fastest kayaker (K1) 1000m: Max Hoff, 3:22 Worlds fastest rower (M1x) 2000m: Robert Manson, 6:31 (thats 3:15 for 1000m) So even though Robert Manson was aiming for 2km he still beat the best kayaker of the world. In a race over 1km he would be even faster than 3:15.

But you have to look that the length of the boat is 8m, and the kayak is 5.20m, and that length brings it higher speed. And the length of the paddlle is also important, because it has a bigger lever in the rowworm and therefore has more power in the curse. its nice to see compare but these are two different sports 😉

As a former rower who has transitioned into kayaking (which I personally prefer), I can say that the rowers should always win pretty much most distances (With the exception of maybe a 100m or 200m sprint where a kayaker's higher rating is favoured). Simple physics provides rowers with far more leverage than a kayaker (A couple of meters more), and rowing also engages a far larger range of muscle groups making it significantly more powerful. This video is really cool, but if athletes of similar fitness levels from each sport were used the rowers would consistently win. (Or you could just look at record times :D).

I love rowing is the best water sport

Hello, a question to (probably slightly older?) rowers/coaches. I was able to buy a 40+ year-old wooden/varnished fine-shell single-scull (assembled weight 22kg) with original wooden macon blades (2.7kg each) very cheaply to save it from scrap. After tidying, I have been able to do some long-distance outings in it (for example 28km including self-carry over 2 locks in 3h10m). I wondered if anyone has any factual evidence as to how much slower than a brand-new carbon scull with the latest blades it might be if I wanted to do some half-serious competition in it - or should I hire a new boat?

@LoganRaymond

Жыл бұрын

(I know this comment is 5 years old but I don't know if you still need help) Average weight of a single scull is about 14kg and new Concept 2 scull oars are about 1.4 kg each. Meaning you would be pulling 10.6 kg less every stroke, and therefore you could row farther distances and accelerate the boat better while expending less energy. Plus assuming the oars are bucket blades, using hatchet shaped oars will make it significantly easier to move the boat. If you can afford it and are serious about competing you should probably look into buying a new scull and a new set of oars.

What length is a single rowing Schull? The k1 kayaks are 5.2meters. Unless you match the craft length the test cannot be a direct comparison. These are displacement hulls so it matters.

A diferença maior está na passada. No Remo, por mais que você tem mais força no “stroak” pois usa tronco e perna, o ritmo é mais lento das pás entrando e saindo. No Caiaque você tem muito mais stroaks por minuto. Porém, se você aumentar a corrida pra 2.000 metros, muda tudo… pois um Remador consegue manter por mais tempo força. E o no caiaque a pessoa não consegue ter o mesmo ritmo e força por 2.000 metros. São esportes bem diferentes… é a mesma coisa que comparar snowboard e esqui em um slalom, em uma prova de salto, de velocidade, etx.

Enticing title, and impressive athletes (even if they're amusingly mismatched)! But not really a very interesting video. How about several better-matched teams over several courses? Then there are the more interesting questions. For example, move beyond just straightline speed over a short course in a flat calm. How about some followups including 20-km open-water courses, wind, waves, etc? Compare the two for bringing some passengers or cargo quickly from a rocky beach out to a sailboat? I think it's a bit sad that many people have forgotten that once rowing and kayaking were both much more than just tame and useless sports done in carefully-controlled conditions, where at the mere whiff of real-world conditions or actual utility we weakly roll over and surrender to motorboats.

Damn that 2x is slow, why not race pace ?

Who the fuck is going 36spm in 500m in a duble skull? Its way too low

Die ruderer waren aber such bet wirklich schnell
