Abstract:
Simplified mathematical model for rower-paddle-boat system being is considered. The model is distinctive in the way the system was decomposed; such decomposition provides selection and subsequent
identification of forces interaction. Particularly, this approach, enhanced with kinematic information gathered during the rowing by integrated IMU-GPS navigation system developed within MAI, enables the
implicit determination of the forces, applied by rower both to the boat and to the paddle.
Keywords:canoe, mathematical model, interaction of forces, kinematic parameters, identification,
effort.
