LW crew coach Chris Kerber, replied back, referred us to Kleshnev's article (see below), and asked for specifics on what we wanted. I replied back, writing that graphs that describe the force profile over the course of the power stroke are great, and I asked to see some similar data from the Cornell crew.

- This article covers the difference between boat types, rowing efficiency, common rigging set-up dimensions, accelerations/forces on the boat/rower over the course of a stroke, and rowing techinques. It's a snappy technical overview of rowing.
- There are four major categories of rowing styles, each defined by whether they emphasize the trunk or the legs, and if the trunks and legs extend simultaneously or consequently.
- "A force curve with a peak increases blade slippage and decreases efficiency. Conversely, a rectangular shape of the force curve affects efficiency positively." - page 7
