Interesting I rowed more than 13 years on national level up to u21 and never had any back problems until I hit a car cycling and fracturing my t6. I also don't know of any of my former friends who developed back pain. I actually always put this done to having very good core strength from rowing.

In contrast or my cycling friends (which I took up after) have back problems, in particular the ones who started when young.

Mind you this was more than 20 years ago so maybe the training regime has changed.

That makes sense, the issues I saw were mostly at the post collegiate/open level. There were some issues in U23s but that was somewhat rare, at least compared to alcohol inflicted injuries :)
