Book GER 1975 °Leistungssport - Sinn und Unsinn° by Karl Adam

Karl Adam died one year after this book was published. He introduced

intervall training and weightlifing into competitive rowing and taught

his crews to change the leverage of oars and sculls according to the

types of boats and the wind conditions. His traing methods resulted

in a domination of (West)German rowing from 1959-1968.
