Rowing is the act of propelling a watercraft through water with the aid of oars.
This can be done on a river, lake, reservoir or any other large body of water.

Rowing is a safe sport but it is physically strenuous so injuries can occur. These include:
- Muscle strain
- Muscle sprain
- Back injuries
- Knee injuries
- Tendonitis
- Blisters
- Stress fractures
Some of these can be prevented as they are caused by not warming up properly.
Always make sure to do stretches and adopt a good technique when rowing.
If you are a beginner then be sure not to over exert yourself as this will increase the risk of injury.
For muscle injuries, you should rest for a few days with the limb elevated. Use ice packs to prevent pain and swelling.
After this time, you can use heat packs to stimulate blood flow to the area.
Always seek medical attention immediately.
