U.S. Rowing Machine Market Segment Analysis

By type, U.S. rowing machine market is segmented into air rowing machines, hydraulic rowing machines, water rowing machines and others.

Several advantages of air rowing

One of the most common forms of rowing machines is the air rower. Since the 1980s, air rowing machines have been present and many people believe them to be the best sort of rower. In reality, air resistance devices, often known as ergometers, are the standard for the indoor sport of rowing. 

Air is forced through an internal flywheel to create resistance in air rowing machines. The wheel is attached to the rowing handle by a chain and spins the flywheel as you pull. The stronger the resistance, the faster the flywheel spins through the air as you row. Air rowers have several advantages, including a wide range of resistance that mimics rowing on water, mechanical resistance that adjusts to your stroke rate, smooth operation and low wear and tears on the mechanism.
