The benefits of rowing I noticed:
1. The rhythmic movements of the rower are a good workout for the cardiovascular system, for the diaphragm and lungs. It is no accident that the vital capacity of the lungs of rowers is 7-8 thousand milliliters – the largest among representatives of other sports.
2. During the oar movement, all the muscles of the body, shoulders, and arms work intensely. The reliefs, the volume of muscles grow!
3. Rivers and lakes are places rich in oxygen. And it is so important for the city dweller to fill his lungs with fresh air to strengthen the whole organism.
4. Picturesque nature and physical activity have a beneficial effect on the central nervous system.
5. During a kayaking trip, rowers are not only focused on the rowing process, but also admire the beauties of the surrounding nature. With a constant transfer of gaze from near objects to distant ones and vice versa, the eye muscles train very well, which has a very positive effect on vision.
Rowing for children and adults:
This sport is accessible to many people, but, of course, able to swim. Children from 8-9 years old can start practicing in sections. In my country, rowing bases and water stations are everywhere. Adults can enroll in the beginner’s section, of course, having previously obtained the permission of the doctor. There are also groups for improving sportsmanship.
