Most rowing analysis tools (including the official app) only scratch the surface of what your SpeedCoach records, especially when paired with the NK Empower Oarlock. UpliNK is designed for rowers, scullers, and coaches who want deeper insights, clearer visualizations, and more meaningful performance analysis. Whether you're training for your next regatta, refining technique, or tracking long-term progress, the app transforms raw NK SpeedCoach data into actionable information that helps you row smarter and faster. Advanced Performance Analysis Go beyond average splits and basic workout summaries. Analyze your sessions with powerful tools designed specifically for rowing: • Detailed interval and segment analysis • Custom-defined segments for targeted review • Median and average performance metrics • Session-to-session comparisons • GPS-based performance evaluation • Interactive maps and course analysis See exactly where performance gains and losses occur on the water. • High-resolution GPS route maps • Color-coded performance overlays • Compare multiple sessions on the same course, or different courses • Visualize boat speed, stroke rate, and other metrics along the route • Overlay comparison lines from previous rows Whether you're evaluating race pieces or daily training rows, the map tools make it easy to identify patterns that traditional data tables miss. Powerful Stroke Visualization When paired with data from an NK Empower Oarlock, the app provides detailed stroke-level analysis that helps reveal technical strengths and weaknesses. Visualize metrics including: • Maximum angle • Effective angle • Catch angle • Finish angle • Slip • Wash • Drive length • Stroke length • Quadrant analysis • Force curve characteristics Understand not just how fast you rowed, but how effectively each stroke produced speed. Customizable Charts Every athlete and coach focuses on different metrics. Create the views that matter most to you. • Multiple graph types • Custom metric selection • Compare metrics on the same chart • Analyze trends over time • Focus on individual segments or entire sessions Compare Sessions Like Never Before Improvement happens over weeks, months, and seasons—not just individual workouts. Quickly compare: • Technique metrics between rows • Boat speed and stroke rate trends • GPS tracks on the same course • Quadrant distributions • Segment performance • Empower Oarlock measurements See exactly how changes in technique translate into performance gains. Built for Rowers This app was created specifically for the rowing community—not adapted from generic fitness software. The analysis tools are designed around the metrics that matter on the water. Requirements • Requires workout data recorded by an NK SpeedCoach (.csv or .fit files). • Some advanced stroke analysis features require data from an NK Empower Oarlock.
