Research on the Mechanism,Risk Factors and Prevention of Rib Stress Injury in Rowers
Rib stress injury(RSI)is the most reported type of injury in rowers with long train-ing time loss.This study reviews and combs the three aspects of etiological mechanism,risk fac-tors and prevention and treatment measures.The study found that RSI is related to the rowing biomechanics of athletes'trunk,limbs and musculoskeletal,and proposed possible damage mechanism involving the role of serratus anterior,external oblique and shoulder joint retractor.The key risk factors for the cause of injury include:internal factors(low bone density,gender),external factors(training load and exercise level,rowing technique,type of equipment,etc.)and other possible causes.Based on this,targeted risk prevention and management strategies are pro-posed,and diagnosis,treatment and rehabilitation of existing injury symptoms are carried out.
