Technical Analysis and Development of Single Bamboo Floating from the Perspective of Education and Psychology
Surprisingly, solo bamboo drifting, which originated from indigenous boating in southwestern China, has evolved into a new and captivating sport. This research focuses on the competitive aspect of solo bamboo drifting, examining the oar-rowing strategies and techniques through which top athletes achieve success. The study aims to provide evidence-based training advice for participants by analysing the performance of five athletes selected based on their results in a 60-meter straight track event. Research methods include literature review, observation, video analysis, and statistical mathematics. The Dartfish sports technique video analysis system is employed to scrutinize precise movements and compare them to evaluate pole-rowing techniques. Findings indicate that athletes' positioning on the bamboo, the angle of pole entry into the water, rowing power and speed management, and bamboo direction control are crucial technical aspects affecting competitive outcomes. Correct posture and efficient pole-rowing techniques minimize water drag and enhance bamboo velocity. Effective force management ensures bamboo stability and rowing efficiency. Yawing phenomena during competition disrupt rowing rhythm and stability, hindering performance. The study conducts a comparative analysis of the pole-rowing tactics of three athletes, identifying differences in movement intricacies and effectiveness throughout the rowing cycle. The findings provide a scientific foundation for future training, offering specific recommendations such as using advanced technology for technical monitoring, enhancing physical training for better rowing efficiency, and practicing direction control under various conditions. These guidelines aim to help athletes optimize their techniques and improve competition performance. This research not only provides theoretical support for technical training in solo bamboo drifting but also offers practical instructions for the sport's scientific advancement and broader adoption.

BOTAFOGO, CAJU, PAQUETÁ: A BAÍA DE GUANABARA EM FESTA - O REMO E A PRODUÇÃO DO ESPAÇO (1866-1895)
This study aims to discuss the role played by nautical societies in the design of a new Baía de Guanabara occupation profile, also conceived as a place of entertainment. The time frame considers the foundation of the first association that had greater vitality and longevity (Clube de Regatas, 1866) and the initial moment of stabilization of the fluminense rowing (1895). Two types of sources were used: documents available in public archives and, mostly, magazines and newspapers published in Rio de Janeiro in the period. O dirigente percebeu que o esporte náutico era adequado para celebrar as mudanças que protagonizava, materialmente perceptíveis nas reformas urbanas que promoveu no Rio de Janeiro nos anos iniciais do século XX (em conjunto com as realizadas pelo governo federal, tendo como presidente Rodrigues Alves) (MELO, 2001).

Dare to do : taking on the planet by bike and boat
On 1 April 2011, rower and adventurer Sarah Outen set off in her kayak from Tower Bridge for France. Her aim was simple: to circle the globe entirely under her own steam - cycling, kayaking and rowing across Europe, Asia, the Pacific, the Americas, the Atlantic and eventually home. A year later, Sarah was plucked from the Pacific ocean amid tropical storm Mawar, her boat broken, her spirit even more so. But that wasn't the end. Despite ill health and depression, giving up was not an option. So Sarah set off once more to finish what she had started, becoming the first woman to row solo from Japan to Alaska, as well as the first woman to row the Pacific from West to East. She kayaked the treacherous Aleutian chain and cycled the Americas, before setting sail on the Atlantic, despite the risk of another row-ending storm ... Dare to Do is more than an adventure story. It is a story of the kindness of strangers and the spirit of travel; a story of the raw power of nature, of finding love in unexpected places, and of discovering your inner strength. It is about trying and failing, and trying again, and about how, even when all seems lost, you can find yourself.

PROFESOR STANISŁAW KOMORNICKI (1949-2016): WSPOMNIENIE
The aim of this article is to present the figure of Prof. Dr. hab. Stanisław Komornicki (1949-2016), who worked at the University of Science and Technology in Kraków and the University of Applied Sciences in Tarnów. The professor was born, raised, and educated in Krakow (in the years 1967-1968 and 1971-1972, he graduated from full-time master's studies in physical chemistry at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry of the Jagiellonian University). He started his scientific work and career in Kraków (first at the Environmental Laboratory of Physicochemical and Structural Research of the Jagiellonian University, then at the University of Science and Technology in Kraków). He attended many symposia and conferences as part of his studies, but also participated in competitive sports, and later served as a judge of rowing. He was associated with the city of Tarnów as an academic teacher, vice-rector, and then rector at the University ofApplied Sciences in Tarnów, which was established in the late-1990s. S. Komornicki also participated in the works of the oldest sports federation in the world, Federation Internationale des Sociétés d'Aviron - FISA (International Federation of Rowing Societies), as a member of the Arbitration Commission. He was on the jury of the World Rowing Championships in 1989, 1994, 1995, 1999, the 2000 World Rowing World Championships, the Olympic Games in Athens (2004), Beijing (2008) and in London (2012).

The association between internal and external measures of training load in elite rowers during ergometer training
While traditional rowing metrics such as stroke rate and split times offer basic performance feedback, they do not fully reflect individual physiological responses, and the relationship between external and internal training loads remains inadequately characterized in rowing ergometer training. This study systematically investigated the correlations between two key internal load measures—training impulse (TRIMP) and session rating of perceived exertion training load (sRPE
TL
)—and three biomechanical external load indicators in elite rowers, with the aim of establishing a more comprehensive training monitoring framework. Thirty elite male rowers (age 22.1 ± 3.6 years, VO₂max 64.5 ± 6.1 mL·min
−1
·kg
−1
) were monitored throughout a 48-week preparatory training period, with 1196 sessions analyzed. Participants who had missed more than three months of training were excluded. External training load metrics—including duration, stroke rate, stroke count (SC), and 500-m split time—and internal training load measures (TRIMP and sRPE
TL
) were collected using standardized procedures. The percentage of boat speed (S%) was calculated by comparing the average boat speed during training to an individually determined maximum speed. Most external load measures, except duration, split time, and stroke rate, showed significant correlations with sRPE
TL
(
p
< .001, FDR-adjusted). Individualized metrics strengthened these relationships, with SC and S% demonstrating moderate correlations with sRPE
TL
(r = .41 and r = .40, respectively;
p
< .001, FDR-adjusted
p
= .002). TRIMP correlated with all external load metrics except stroke rate and count, most strongly with S% (r = .39,
p
< .001, FDR-adjusted
p
= .002). Multivariate regression identified SC, S%, and TRIMP as the strongest predictors of sRPE
TL
(marginal R
2
= .50; model: Y = − 477.8 + 3.477 × S% + 17.262 × SC + 2.156 × TRIMP). In summary, S%, SC, and TRIMP were identified as optimal parameters for monitoring training load, collectively accounting for 50% of the variance in sRPE
TL
—outperforming conventional external load metrics. These results support the integration of individualized speed measures with physiological and perceptual indicators to enhance the precision of training prescription in elite rowing programs.
