Technogym supports FISA, the world rowing federation

Technogym - the world leading producer of design and technology-driven fitness equipment and digital solutions - will be one of the Official Suppliers to FISA / World Rowing - the international rowing federation.

FISA ’s vision is to encourage the development of the sport of rowing in all its forms - including elite, para-rowing, coastal, masters and aspects of indoor rowing -  and make rowing a universally practiced and globally relevant sport in all its forms while strengthen the bonds that unite all who enjoy this sport.

This same mission has driven Technogym, official supplier to the last 7 editions of the Olympic Games, to create SKILLROW, the first indoor rowing equipment designed to improve anaerobic power, aerobic capacity and neuromuscular abilities in one solution.

SKILLROW has been designed to provide an unparalleled feeling that simulates the actual act of rowing on water: AQUAFEEL. SKILLROW resistance follows the natural curve of the stroke in the water and with AQUAFEEL, the resistance is gradual, making the movement fluid and avoiding the backlash effect on the lower back.

Thanks to Technogym’s MULTIDRIVE technology (patent-pending) users are also able to add a further resistance on top of air resistance. This ground-breaking innovation makes it possible for users to change the equipment mode from cardiovascular training to power training by simply adjusting the resistance level.

By setting the resistance at low, medium or high, users can perform the rowing movement at various levels of difficulty when executing power exercises. The MULTIDRIVE technology also makes it safe to perform triple extensions (targeting hips, knees and ankles) with explosive forceful movements, just like one would during the push off phase when jumping and sprinting.

Rowers’ core values are teamwork, fairness, natural, inclusive and enduring.

With this is mind, Technogym has developed a specific interactive and entertaining training dedicated to indoor rowing: thanks to the SKILLROW APP users can enjoy a more motivating digital experience and have a virtual coach always available. This technology also enables users to monitor and track their results, get real time bio-feedback on the training metrics to improve their performance, and even challenge their friends or row together in total synchronicity as a crew, for a truly engaging experience.
