Samples of five subsequent strokes from the pre-CT and post-CT sessions are presented in Figure 2. In examining the resultants plots (e.g., Figure 3) it is important to realize that these individual catch and finish points did not necessarily coincide in time, as becomes clear from inspection of Figure 2.
Average time-normalized half-cycles for oar-water velocity from catch (point 1) to finish (point 51) for the bow (Left) and stroke (Right) rowers during the pre-CT (Upper) and post-CT (Lower) sessions. Error bars present the standard deviations over 340 half-cycles. The shaded area delineates the drive phase during which oar-water velocity is positive. The blue area indicates the common part of the drive phase (between points 14 and 42).

As can be seen from Figure 3, the drive phase (shaded areas under the curves where linear OWV is positive) ended closer to the finish point for the bow rower than for the stroke rower, at least during the pre-CT session. In examining the resultants plots (e.g., Figure 3) it is important to realize that these individual catch and finish points did not necessarily coincide in time, as becomes clear from inspection of Figure 2.
