Background:

Rowing is a rapidly growing endurance sport with broad age appeal.
It is characterized by repetitive, non-ballistic movements.
Rowing is associated with specific, often recognizable injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss the etiology, biomechanics, imaging, and treatment of rowing-related disorders.
To provide a comprehensive overview for enthusiasts and clinicians.
To highlight common and less common injuries in rowing.

Main Methods:

Review of literature on rowing injuries.
Discussion of biomechanical factors in rowing.
Analysis of typical injury patterns and diagnostic approaches.

Related Experiment Videos

Main Results:

Common injuries include wrist tenosynovitis, intersection syndrome, and rib fractures.
Overuse and technique errors can lead to low back injuries and patellar maltracking.
Many typical injuries are clinically recognizable without advanced imaging.

Conclusions:

Understanding the biomechanics of rowing is crucial for injury prevention.
Early recognition and appropriate management are key for treating rowing-related disorders.
Further research can optimize training and reduce injury incidence in rowers.
