The MET value of 7 for rowing is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 accounts for Athens's average temperature of 62°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Rowing on a machine at moderate intensity is a full-body exercise that works 86% of the muscles in your body. Each stroke engages the legs, core, back, and arms in a powerful sequence. Rowing builds both cardiovascular endurance and muscular strength simultaneously, making it one of the most efficient exercises available. It is low-impact and suitable for all fitness levels, from beginners to elite athletes.
