Abstract：
Research on biomechanics in rowing has mostly focused on the lumbar spine. However, injuries can also affect other body segments. Thus, the aim of this pilot study was to explore any potential variations in the kinematics of the cervical spine during two different stroke rates on the rowing ergometer in young rowers.
Twelve young rowers of regional or national level were recruited for the study. The experimental protocol consisted of two separate test sessions (i.e., a sequence of 10 consecutive strokes for each test session) at different stroke rates (i.e., 20 and 30 strokes/min) on an indoor rowing ergometer. Kinematics of the cervical spine was assessed using an inertial sensor capable of measuring joint ROM (angle of flexion, angle of extension, total angle of flexion-extension).
Although there were no differences in the flexion and total flexion-extension movements between the test sessions, a significant increase in the extension movement was found at the highest stroke rate (p = 0.04, d = 0.66).
Young rowers showed changes in cervical ROM according to stroke rate. The lower control of the head during the rowing stroke cycle can lead to a higher compensation resulting in an augmented effort, influencing sports performance, and increasing the risk of injury.

摘要：
赛艇的生物力学研究主要集中在腰椎上。然而,受伤也会影响其他身体部位。因此，这项初步研究的目的是探索年轻赛艇运动员在划船测功机上两种不同中风速率下颈椎运动学的任何潜在变化。
本研究招募了12名地区或国家级的年轻赛艇运动员。实验方案由两个单独的测试会话组成(即，每个测试阶段的10个连续笔划的序列)以不同的笔划速率(即，20和30冲程/分钟）在室内划船测功机上。使用能够测量关节ROM（屈曲角度，延伸角,屈伸总角度)。
尽管在测试阶段之间的屈曲和总屈曲-伸展运动没有差异，在最高的行程率下,伸展运动显著增加(p=0.04,d=0.66).
年轻的赛艇运动员根据中风率显示出宫颈ROM的变化。在划船行程循环期间对头部的较低控制可以导致较高的补偿,从而导致增加的努力。影响运动表现，增加受伤的风险。
