TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Yachters in Korea suffer considerable injuries JO - Journal of exercise rehabilitation A1 - Ham, Do-Woong A1 - Jee, Yong-Seok SP - 226 EP - 231 VL - 12 IS - 3 N2 - Although there is a limited amount of data regarding injuries incurred from yachting, identifying important trends can assist clinicians and yachters in the successful evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries. Similar to other research studies related to sailing, the majority of injuries consist of orthopedic problems, with the highest rate of injury occurring in the lower legs and trunk. The most prevalent causes of injury were due to 'over-action,' followed by 'insufficient practice,' and lastly, 'insufficient skill' according to the responses among yachters. Gaining a better understanding of the causes of injury and the affected sites of injury will assist in developing a fitness training program for injury prevention and creating a rehabilitation program to ensure optimal conditions and safety for yachters.
