在一場2000公尺划船競賽中，每位划船選手需重複划槳220–250次以完成比賽，且每次拉槳又需藉由腿部推蹬來啟動並產生力量，因而在此高反覆次數累積下，腿部推蹬效率將對划船表現有所影響。本研究目的在探討使用不同腳蹬板角度（39°、42°、45°與48°）對西式划船選手進行一分鐘划船測驗時其各項力學參數之影響，並藉以評估適合的腳蹬板角度。
研究中以十二名優秀大專女子划船選手為受試對象（21.3 ± 1.7歲、164.5 ± 4.1公分與58.0 ± 4.9公斤），各受試者皆須在Concept II 划船測功儀上完成四種不同腳蹬板角度之一分鐘划船測驗。以JVC數位攝影機 (60 Hz) 拍攝二度空間矢狀面划船動作，並利用Biovision拉力計 (600 Hz) 與Kistler測力板 (600 Hz) 同步擷取拉槳階段過程中之拉力值與腿部推蹬之反作用力。以單因子重覆量數變異數分析來檢定四種腳蹬板角度下各力學參數之差異顯著性，統計顯著水準定為α= .05。
本研究主要結論為：一、改變腳蹬板角度，的確會對拉槳階段過程中踝關節動作有所影響；隨著腳蹬板角度增加，踝關節不論在最大彎曲、最大伸展角度與關節活動範圍上皆明顯減小。二、在39° 腳蹬板角度下，可產生較大每槳平均功率與拉槳階段平均功率，顯示其整體划船效率與拉槳階段效率為最高；因此在腳蹬板角度的選擇上，本研究建議以39° 腳蹬板角度為優先考量。

Each rower required performing 220 to 250 strokes during a 2000 meters competition rowing. Due to these high-repeated strokes, the efficient of the leg drive will influence the rowing performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of foot-stretcher angle (39°, 42°, 45° and 48°) on the drive phase in rowing.
Twelve elite female rowers participated in this study (21.3 ± 1.7 years, 164.5 ± 4.1 cm and 58.0 ± 4.9 kg), and each subject was asked to perform 1-min test under four foot-stretcher angles on Concept II rowing ergometer. One JVC digital camera (60 Hz) was used to recorded sagittal plane kinematics during rowing, and Biovision load cell (600 Hz) were synchronized with Kistler force plate (600 Hz) to collect the pulling force and foot-stretcher reaction force. The selected variables were tested by one-way repeated ANOVA. Statistical significance was set at α = .05.
The result indicated that when increase the foot-stretcher angle, the maximum and minimum angle of the ankle and ankle’s range of motion were decrease. It was concluded that the rower could produce a higher mean power per stroke and mean power per drive stroke in 39° foot-stretcher. In addition, when adjusting the foot-stretcher angle, the motion of ankle joint was changed. It was suggested that the rower could choose 39° foot-stretcher in training and competition.
