Control – Pause paddling (easy all)
Practice:	At a fixed agreed point in the stroke, the stroke is paused for a moment, while the boat stays level. Also called “easy all”. Pause1 (immediately after release) is used when rowers Pull the trunk over the handle(s). With the modern initial away, the Pause 2 (arms stretched, trunk laying backwards) and Pause 3 (arms outstretched and trunk rotated) have become obsolete, they no longer have any function. Pause 4 (¼ seat in the resting point) will take its place. Pause 5 before the catch is possible, but is very difficult and is therefore relatively little used.
Type:	Classic exercise. The exercise Dynamic lengthening is more effective than this exercise and is therefore preferred.
Purpose:	By varying the pause moment, the crew's movement sequence is equal.
Focus:	Pay attention to moving your own blade(s) in sync with those of the stroke. Feel the moment the crew starts sliding with your feet.
Transfer:	The pauses don't actually transfer well to a full stroke. That makes them hardly effective.
Variations:	The coxswain does not give a “Go”, but the stroke determines when the crew will row again. The pause becomes a slight hesitation. Multiple pauses are combined in one draw. The pause(s) are done once every two, three or five strokes.
