Methods: Nineteen male senior high school rowing athletes were voluntarily recruited in the present study. Nine special ability items including arm stretching maximal fingertip distance, lower extremity length, sit-ups, chin-ups, sit and reach, squat, pull-ups, and 1600-meter run, as well as 500-meter rowing ergometer test were evaluated. The 2000-meter ergometer performance was derived from 2013 National Indoor Rowing Championships. After encoding and archiving the data, the SPSS 20.0 package software was adopted for descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Results: 1. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant relationship between 2000 meter ergometer performance and body height (r=-.50，p<.05) , body weight (r=.78，p<.05), 500-meter ergometer (r=.54，p<.05); 2. 2000-meter ergometer performance could be predicted through multiple regression of: (2000-meter ergometer performance)＝-3.576*weight (kg)+0.405*1600-meter running (second)+541.097, with an explanatory power of 69.7%. Conclusion: A sturdy rower with higher aerobic fitness level could be a good prediction of 2000-meter ergometer performance.
