Junior Rowers

Junior rowers (age under 19 years) compete at the same race distance and train with similar frequency and duration as elite senior rowers, yet data related to injuries are scarce. This may be because the incidence of severe rowing injury is underreported.

Training volume is significantly associated with injury. Athletes who average more than seven training sessions per week during a rowing season are at a higher risk of developing an injury #HandConsultSA #RowingInjury
