Does the asymmetry in the boat make sweep rowers less symmetric in the gym? A case study of how rowers sit on the rowing ergometer

The type of rowing on the boat influenced how rowers sit on the ergometer with sweep rowers consistently adopting a seating position shifted to opposite side to the one they rowed. This can be interpreted in terms of neural memory of prior postural adjustments and calls for further monitoring as asymmetry in seating may lead to uneven loading, particularly relevant to athletes with large training volume and density and when rowing in more "extreme" rowing settings, for example, coastal rowing / beach sprints events.
