Rowing Leistung Rechner — Formel
## How Rowing Power Is Calculated
### The Concept2 Formula
**Watts = 2.80 / pace^3**
Where pace = split time in seconds / 500 (seconds per meter).
### Power-to-Weight
Watts per kilogram (W/kg) is a useful metric for comparing rowers of different sizes. Lightweight rowers may produce fewer absolute watts but can be very competitive on a W/kg basis.
### Benchmarks
| Level | Watts (Male) | Watts (Female) |
|-------|-------------|----------------|
| Recreational | 100-180 | 70-130 |
| Club | 180-280 | 130-210 |
| Collegiate | 280-380 | 210-290 |
| Elite | 380+ | 290+ |

Lösungsbeispiel
Calculate watts for a 1:55 per 500m split at 180 lbs body weight.
- Split in seconds = 1 x 60 + 55 = 115 seconds per 500m.
- Pace per meter = 115 / 500 = 0.23 sec/m.
- Watts = 2.80 / (0.23)^3 = 2.80 / 0.01217 = 230 W.
- Body weight = 180 x 0.4536 = 81.6 kg.
- Watts/kg = 230 / 81.6 = 2.82 W/kg.
