Welcome! Thank you for visiting our Physio-pedia page. We are a group of graduate students in the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program from Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky. We have been looking at and performing research related to injuries in rowing. The literature is showing that rowers often experience overuse injuries due to the mechanics of the rowing stroke along with its repetitive motion. And while there are several prevalence studies for elite adult rowers, there have been few studies assessing the prevalence of injuries in high school rowers. | |||
We recently conducted a pilot study with the Louisville Rowing Club's high school team (detailed information on this study can be found below) in which we surveyed them on injury prevalence and implemented an exercise program with emphasis on strengthening the core to prevent low back pain. While we obtained some information from this study, we would like to collect more information on injury prevalence in the high school population in order to fill the gap in the literature. | |||
In order to attain this information we respectfully ask for your participation in a survey. In the section below, there are links to two different surveys. If you are a rowing coach, please follow the link for the coaches and complete the survey. If you are an athlete, please follow the link for the athletes and complete the survey.

Injuries in High School Rowing Athletes:[edit | edit source]
Welcome! Thank you for visiting our Physio-pedia page. We are a group of graduate students in the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program from Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky. We have been looking at and performing research related to injuries in rowing. The literature is showing that rowers often experience overuse injuries due to the mechanics of the rowing stroke along with its repetitive motion. And while there are several prevalence studies for elite adult rowers, there have been few studies assessing the prevalence of injuries in high school rowers.
We recently conducted a pilot study with the Louisville Rowing Club's high school team (detailed information on this study can be found below) in which we surveyed them on injury prevalence and implemented an exercise program with emphasis on strengthening the core to prevent low back pain. While we obtained some information from this study, we would like to collect more information on injury prevalence in the high school population in order to fill the gap in the literature.
In order to attain this information we respectfully ask for your participation in a survey. In the section below, there are links to two different surveys. If you are a rowing coach, please follow the link for the coaches and complete the survey. If you are an athlete, please follow the link for the athletes and complete the survey. Please rest assured that no personal information will be released by participating in this survey.
