Is rowing safe? What are the common injuries?
Rowing is a very safe and low impact sport but injuries can happen in any sport. The most common injury is blisters on the hands. Rowers should keep blisters clean by washing hands after rowing and using band-aids and tape to keep blisters clean and protected. Rowers will be less prone to blisters as they gain more experience. Some people choose to wear lightweight baseball batting gloves to protect their hands and it is always a good idea to leave your rings at home.
