Table 1.

Example of the synchronization of the rowers’ verbalization at the time code 00:40 [min:sec] of the race and their phenomenological experiential units filled regarding its six components.

Time code: 40 s Stroke Rower
Bow Rower
Verbalization Six components Verbalization Six components
Rower 1: Here, always good. I: To apply coach instructions/To hold on the back/Up hands on the front/To be synchronized with his partner/To have a maximum amplitude/To propel the boat.
E: Be well synchronized with his partner/Row with a big amplitude/Maintain the boat pace.
K: With the fatigue, he has trouble concentrating on the instructions.
P: Coach instructions/feeling tired/Feel the boat as stable/Feel a good boat propulsion/Feel a well skiing of the shell.
A: Feels the wind blowing on their back/Perceives the boat skiing.
RK: NI
Researcher: And now what about your feelings? I: To drive well the boat/To keep the boat stable/To synchronize with his partner/Adapt to his partner/To put the same force as his partner during the oar stroke/To drag the boat as soon as possible/Be technically just in his movements
E: Make a straight line with the boat/Be well synchronized with his partner/The boat should stay flat/Expects his partner grows as they usually do/Find ≪ the optimal intensity ≫ /Do not make technical fouls
K: NI
P: Feeling on the position of his body and its movements/sees the boat as stable
A: Looks at the shoulders and hands of his partner/Puts on the same intensity as his partner/Perceives the boat skiing/Flexed his arm
RK: Realizes that he made a technical error
Researcher: Okay. Is this what you were thinking about at this moment? Or is it because you see the movie? Rower 2: Here! We are already beginning to be a little more coordinated.
Rower 1: At this moment, I don’t think about this. I thought to propel more and I already began to feel the fatigue. Researcher: And what about your technical point of view?
Researcher: Ah Yes … Rower 2: I see that my outer arm is not necessarily stretched. Normally, this arm must be stretched, but I keep it a little bent.
Rower 1: Yes, so at this moment, I did not necessarily think to tell me… I felt as if the boat were skiing. Researcher: Do you say it to yourself when you are rowing at this moment?
Researcher: Okay. But did you really feel at this moment the boat skiing? Rower 2 Yes
Rower 1: Yes, I felt the boat skiing on the water. Researcher: Well …
Researcher: Okay.
