The EIS team behind Rowing

The EIS provide strong support across a number of sport science and medicine disciplines to Great Britain’s podium and development rowers, with services provided mainly from Bisham Abbey or nearby Caversham lake.

EIS Strength and Conditioning coaches work closely alongside the sports technical coaches to ensure athletes remain as robust as possible in order to maintain their high volume of water based training, whilst three EIS physiotherapists provide invaluable support in order to keep athletes in shape.

Physiology support is also provided in close collaboration with NGB practitioners, with testing both in the lab and in the field (or water) allowing the athlete and coach to objectively monitor what impact a particular session has had on the body.
