What is so important about foot and lower leg posture in rowing?
All the power you produce during the rowing stroke is transferred through your feet to the footboard to create a platform against which the blade can push to move the boat. Your feet and lower legs are performing a similar function when you are lifting a weight in the gym. In both scenarios, when your feet are not stable and well positioned, the potential for power loss, unnecessary muscle contractions, injuries and empty mechanical movements is increased.
