Question

Which of the following is not listed as a potential consequence of poorly executed WaterRower Recovery in OTF curriculum?

a) Slower rowing time
b) Decreased heart rate
c) Lower power output
d) Increased energy expenditure

Answer 1

The potential consequence that is not listed is increased energy expenditure as a result of poorly executed WaterRower Recovery in the OTF curriculum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The potential consequence of poorly executed WaterRower Recovery in the OTF curriculum that is not listed is d) Increased energy expenditure. A badly executed recovery phase could potentially slow down rowing times, because inefficient recovery can lead to less preparation for the next stroke, wasting time. It might also result in a lower power output since the body would not be optimally positioned to generate maximum force for the next stroke. Conversely, an increased heart rate is not usually a direct consequence of poor recovery technique – usually, the heart rate increases due to overall physical exertion, not the specifics of rowing technique.

Moreover, the given reference to DNP and ATP is not directly related to rowing performance, but explains how DNP acts to uncouple ATP production, which leads to energy being released as heat, rather than being stored or used for muscle contraction, thereby causing weight loss.
