Ultimate Erg Calculator Online

The Ultimate Erg Calculator is a powerful tool designed to assist rowers in optimizing their training sessions. By inputting key variables such as distance, time, and weight, users can derive valuable insights into their rowing performance. This comprehensive calculator goes beyond simple pace and speed calculations, providing users with a detailed breakdown of power output in watts.

Formula of Ultimate Erg Calculator

Pace (seconds per 500 meters)

Pace = time / (distance / 500)

Speed (meters per second)

Speed = distance / time

Power (watts)

Power = 2.80 / ((time / (distance / 500)) / 500) ^ 3 + (weight / 2.8) + ((distance / time) ^ 2 / 2.8)

Variables:

• Distance (in meters)
• Time (in seconds)
• Weight (in kilograms)

General Terms Table

Here’s a handy table of general terms that users commonly search for, providing quick reference without the need for manual calculations:

Term	Definition
Stroke Rate	Number of rowing strokes per minute
Split Time	Time taken to row 500 meters at a specific pace
Ergometer	Rowing machine used for indoor training
Drag Factor	Resistance level on the rowing machine
Watt Test	Assessment of power output during rowing

Example of Ultimate Erg Calculator

Let’s walk through an example to illustrate how the Ultimate Erg Calculator works. Suppose a rower covers a distance of 1000 meters in 300 seconds with a weight of 70 kilograms.

1. Pace: Pace = 300 / (1000 / 500) = 150 seconds per 500 meters
2. Speed: Speed = 1000 / 300 = 3.33 meters per second
3. Power: Power = 2.80 / ((300 / (1000 / 500)) / 500) ^ 3 + (70 / 2.8) + ((1000 / 300) ^ 2 / 2.8) = 187.29 watts
