Associations between ergometer performance, postural stability, cognitive function, and physical performance in adolescent rowers.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRowing is an Olympic sport that simultaneously encompasses multiple components of physical performance, including anaerobic endurance, strength endurance, and maximal strength.
aimThe aim of this study is to examine the relationship between rowing-specific performance, as assessed by ergometer testing, and physical performance, cognitive function, and reaction time in elite adolescent rowers.
methodsA total of 28 adolescent rowing athletes were included in this study. The assessments were conducted at Hereke Nuh Çimento Rowing Club and Beşiktaş Rowing Club. Static balance was evaluated using the GYKO inertial sensor system, while dynamic balance was assessed with the Y Balance Test. Reaction time was measured using the BlazePod light-based sensor system, and muscle strength was assessed with the Meloq EasyForce dynamometer. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Stroop test.
resultsA negative relationship was observed between ergometer performance time and muscle strength (r = − 0.875 to − 0.591, p < 0.01) reaction time repetition count (r = -0.657 to -0.574, p = 0.01). A positive relationship was observed between ergometer performance time and static postural stability sway area (r = 0.474, 0.447, p = 0.01).
conclusionThese findings indicate that ergometer performance in adolescent rowers is associated with muscle strength, reaction time, and static postural stability, whereas dynamic balance and cognitive performance show no significant relationship with ergometer outcomes.
