Computer rowing analysis software ?

Ergdata or a USB stick in the PM5 will give you data on your splits - but not stroke by stroke data.

What is the difference between stroke by stroke data and 'data on splits'?

What actually is stroke by stroke data and how can it be interpreted to improve splits, technique and strength?

Hello all...

I am currently using ERGdata when I row...its a cool app.

Is there an app that will record every stroke of the distance rowed, like an ekg? Showing distance, graphically every stroke, heart rate? Ideally lining into the rowing computer like ergdata does?

This would be very cool...

Does this exist?

yes, LiveRowing for iOS does this. LiveRowing gets 2 data points per second of all your rowing metrics. We just launched so lets us know if you want any new features or if your having any issues.

Do you upload workouts to TrainingPeaks? What are exactly the premium features?

Hello Nick,

Looks interesting... android version?

So there are quite a few apps to get stroke by stroke data from the erg:

Painsled (iOS as well as desktop version)
RowPro
ErgData
ErgStick

others?

For OTW rowing there is CrewNerd, SpeedCoach, ... etc

Most of these apps export CSV or TCX data formats.

For what it's worth, I have (with great help from Greg Smith) created a Python package that you can use to make nice graphs from these data. I've tested it for Painsled, RowPro and CrewNerd.

For some python installs it throws some error messages, but the graphs come out nicely (at least that is what was reported). I'll look into it later.

If you're a rowing data geek who likes Python (perhaps 2 or 3 people in the world), feel free to check here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rowingdata

Use at own risk, but let me know via PM or in this thread what you think.

Or Garmin FR210 with FIT files.

Kinda. It's not "per stroke" (can't count strokes), but it does show HRM over the course of the workout with time, watts, pace, and stroke rate.
And it's older ANT+ FE watches only. The new ones are ANT+ FE-C and incompatible.
