High school rowing injuries: National Athletic Treatment, Injury and Outcomes Network (NATION)
Context: Data on high school (HS) rowing injuries are lacking.
Objective: To describe the epidemiology of HS boys' and girls' rowing injuries during the 2011-2012 through 2013-2014 academic years.
Design: Descriptive epidemiology study.
Setting: Injury and exposure data from 8 and 11 boys' and girls' rowing programs providing 13 and 17 team-seasons of data, respectively.
Patients or Other Participants: High school boys' and girls' varsity rowing student-athletes.
Intervention(s): High school rowing data from the National Athletic Treatment, Injury and Outcomes Network.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Injury rates and rate ratios were reported with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results: In HS boys' and girls' rowing, 59 and 190 injuries were reported, respectively, for rates of 2.39/1000 athlete-exposures (95% CI = 1.78, 3.00) and 8.60/1000 athlete-exposures (95% CI = 7.38, 9.82). The girls' rowing injury rate was 3.60 times that of boys' (95% CI = 2.69, 4.82).
Conclusions: These findings suggest a higher injury rate among HS female rowers than HS male rowers. Additional research exploring reasons for the sex difference is warranted.
