1. A system, comprising:
a central unit implemented by a processor and configured for:
generating a synchronization timing instruction based on a stroke rate with a plurality of timings specifying desired time instances for a sequence of stroke events to occur in a stroke cycle,
transmitting the synchronization timing instruction to multiple rowers to facilitate synchronization of each of the sequence of stroke events across the multiple rowers based on the plurality of timings, wherein the sequence of stroke events includes one when an oar passes a knee of a rower, and
with respect to each of the sequence of events scheduled to occur at a corresponding one of the plurality of timings, for each of the multiple rowers,
determining a synchronization status based on an actual timing of the event relating to the rower and the corresponding timing, and
sending the synchronization status to the rower;
a plurality of sensors associated with each of the multiple rowers for providing sensor information including the actual timings of the sequence of stroke events relating to the rower; and
multiple rower units each of which is associated with one of the multiple rowers for delivering, to the rower, the synchronization timing instruction received from the central unit, and
notifying the rower of a synchronization status, received from the central unit, with respect to each of the sequence of stroke events.
