Use the Rowing Machine Distance Calculator to convert between distance, time, split (per 500 m), watts, and Concept2 Performance Monitor calories/hour. To estimate distance from calories/hour and rowing time, open the “Watts • Calories • Split” tab, enter Calories/hour (PM) and a Duration (hh:mm:ss), and the calculator will display the distance covered in that duration.

Rowing Machine Distance Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Rowing Machine Distance. 

D_r=\left(\frac{C-300}{11.2}\right)^{1/3}\,T
  • Where Dr is the Rowing Machine Distance (m)
  • C is the total calories burned per hour (cal/hr) 
  • T is the total rowing time (s) 

How to Calculate Rowing Machine Distance?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Rowing Machine Distance.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total calories burned per hour (cal/hr).
    • The total calories burned per hour (cal/hr) is given as: 750.
  2. Next, determine the total rowing time (s).
    • The total rowing time (s) is provided as: 120.
  3. Finally, calculate the Rowing Machine Distance using the equation above: 

Dr = [(C-300) / 11.2]^(1/3) * T

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

Dr = [(750-300) / 11.2]^(1/3) * 120 ≈ 410.39 (m)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:

total calories burned per hour (cal/hr) = 800

total rowing time (s) = 140

This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer. 

Dr = [(C-300) / 11.2]^(1/3) * T = ?
