query: which seat is the stroke seat in rowing

pos: Boat positions Boat positions In the sport of rowing, each rower is numbered by boat position in ascending order from the bow to the stern (with the exception of single sculls). The person who is seated on the first seat is always the 'bow', the closest to the stern is commonly referred to as the 'stroke'. There are some exceptions to this: Rowers in continental Europe number from stern up to bow. Certain crew members have other informal titles and roles. Examples are given for the largest common boat, the sweep oar eight (which is always coxed), but the same principles apply

neg: Cox box open style of construction. Almost all modern coxswain's amplifier systems have a liquid crystal display, showing the strokes per minute (SPM). On most systems, a magnet is positioned under the stroke man's seat. In bowloaded boats, the magnet is placed under the bow man's seat. As the rower moves up the slide (moving forward to prepare for the next stroke), a measurement is taken, and fed to the system. The stroke seat (first rower in the stern) sets the rate of rowing for the whole crew so this is very important. The display also usually features a timer which can

Another common injury is getting "track bites", thin cuts on the back of one's calf or thigh caused by contact with the seat tracks at either end of the stroke.

neg: Stroke (rowing) a stroke as follows: Stroke side refers to the port side of the boat, which is on the left-hand side of a cox facing forwards, but on the right-hand side of a rower facing backwards. The usage derives from the tradition of having the stroke rower's oar be on the port side of the boat. However, the stroke seat oar in a sweep boat does not always emerge from port side, such as when the boat is starboard rigged. In Cornish pilot gigs, the stroke rower's oar is on the starboard (right) side and therefore stroke side refers to the

The length of the rower handles on this class of rower is typically adjustable, however, during the row the handle length is fixed which in turn fixes the trajectory that the hands must take on the stroke and return, thus making the stroke less accurate than is possible on the other types of resistance models where it is possible to emulate the difference in hand height on the stroke and return. Furthermore, many models in this class have a fixed seat position that eliminates the leg drive which is the foundation
