Supports entrainment as training adaptation marker in rowers; leaves open causal performance effects and needs prospective validation.
Does the level of training and rowing experience affect ventilatory responses and entrainment of breathing during rowing?
Elite rowers augment exercise ventilation predominantly by increasing tidal volume and frequently entrain breathing with the rowing stroke, unlike less trained individuals.
Mahler et al. (1991) studied this question.
