Beach Sprints Rowing: Injury and Illness Prevalence at the 2022 World Championships
Rowers presenting to the WRBSF described injuries leading up to the event that were similar to those common in classic rowing. Rowers at the event suffered injuries of the lower limb that were different from classic rowing and may be related to the addition of running to this event. An event concussion should be considered as a more likely injury in this type of rowing and future events should be prepared to manage such an injury.
