Ergometer and on-water load
Bring erg splits and on-water work into one load picture, so a session indoors and a session on the water are read on the same scale rather than living in separate logs.
Rowing
Built for the crew that finds the last length.
Strong is the performance intelligence platform for elite rowing. It unifies ergometer data, on-water work, and staff reports into one record, so coaches manage load, prevent the injuries rowing is known for, and bring a crew to its peak for championship season.
The problem
The true cost of a disconnected rowing program
Your S&C staff read ergometer splits in one system. Your physiotherapist logs ribs, lumbar spine, and rehab progress in another. Your nutritionist works from spreadsheets to hold energy availability against enormous training volume. The head coach gets three reports and tries to reconcile them before crew selection. In a sport built on relentless aerobic volume and a single championship regatta to aim at, fragmented data hides risk, lets rib-stress and lumbar load build unseen, and turns seat selection into guesswork. You have the athlete data. You just do not have the single source of truth rowing performance management demands.
- Erg splits in one platform, on-water work and medical notes in another
- Rib-stress and lumbar load building unseen under high aerobic volume
- Crew and seat selection made on three reports instead of one
One platform
One language for the whole boathouse.
Strong does not replace your coaches, physiotherapists, and nutritionists. It unifies their data into one objective view of every athlete and every crew, so decisions on training load, availability, and selection become faster, clearer, and backed by a complete narrative.
Session load
Read the load the way a rower earns it
Ergometer distance, on-water distance, time at threshold, and the stroke count that quietly accumulates rib and lumbar load. The load bars render a session as one readable set, each metric scaled to its own ceiling so a coach sees how hard today was at a glance, with the standout marked by shape and label, never colour alone.

Engineered for rowing
Built for the unique demands of the sport
Crew load across the boat
A crew is only as durable as its least recovered seat. Read load and readiness across every athlete in the boat, so the whole eight is managed, not just the stroke.
Rib and lumbar injury surveillance
Rib stress fractures and lumbar load are rowing's signature injuries. Watch cumulative stroke and aerobic load against an individual baseline, and flag the at-risk athlete early.
Championship-season periodisation
A rowing year aims at one regatta. Use load management to taper precisely, so a crew peaks for the championship final rather than leaving its best on the training lake.
Energy availability
Aerobic volume in rowing is enormous. Hold nutritional intake against training-load expenditure, so under-fuelling is caught before it costs health or speed.
Selection on objective ground
Bring erg scores, on-water data, wellness, and medical status together so seat racing and crew selection start from one shared, objective picture.
The metrics that matter
The analytics that build a faster crew
- External load
- Ergometer and on-water distance, time at threshold, and stroke counts, to manage aerobic volume and intensity precisely.
- Internal load and readiness
- Heart-rate variability, sleep duration and quality, and subjective wellness, for a complete picture of recovery under high volume.
- Injury prevention
- Acute:chronic workload ratios and historical rib and lumbar patterns, to flag at-risk athletes before a stress injury occurs.
- Energy availability
- Intake measured against training-load expenditure, so the gap between fuel and work is visible before it becomes a health risk.
Agnostic by design
Powerful by integration
Your investment in technology is safe. Strong is hardware-agnostic, built to ingest the tools your program already trusts. Connect your ergometers, on-water instrumentation and stroke-rate data, heart-rate monitors from Polar and Garmin, and your medical records. Strong is the intelligence layer that standardises every stream, so you finally see the complete picture without changing the equipment your squad relies on.

0spreadsheets to reconcile before crew selection
Our erg data, on-water work, and physio notes used to live in three places, and energy availability was a spreadsheet nobody trusted. Strong unified it. We taper with far more confidence now, and we caught two athletes trending toward rib stress before it sidelined them. Our selection conversations are objective for the first time.
