Outline of Final Research Achievements	For beginners in various situations, it is confirmed that visual instructions are one of the most effective way to show a concrete techniques and skills. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficient rowing movements for novice rowers. Rowing power coordinately generates the foot pressure force and the oar handle one. We could be established LED lighting system that used Arduino microcomputer as an effective guidance tool in order to measure the angular changes of oars and the foot pressure strength while stroking movement of an recreational boat.
