Rowing Cool-Down Protocol
Rowing cool-down protocol is easy erg paddling and light mobility after hard sessions to clear lactate and lower heart rate gradually.
Rowing cool-down protocol is 5–10 minutes of easy erg paddling plus hip and thoracic mobility after hard pieces to clear lactate and restore heart rate. Stopping abruptly after intervals can leave legs heavy and elevate next-day soreness.
Light rowing beats sitting still for circulation.
