ABSTRACT:

Aim

To estimate the frequency and localization of acute (traumatic) and chronic (overuse) injuries in a population of masters rowers with respect to their age subgroups and assess the association between injury occurrence and different training modalities, rowing experience, previous competition level, and current rowing practice.

A rowing-specific questionnaire was used, followed by an interview about the injuries sustained during the 12-month period before the competition.
