| Abstract | Data of the Thai national boating team athletes were collected at a Suranaree University of Technology camp prior to the 26th SEA Games, 2011. A holistic approach and integrated care were provided for the whole team. From 109 questionnaires, there is presented: 1) the tendency towards musculoskeletal injuries in the athletes, it being found that shoulder and back injuries have a 34 and 63 odds ratio of risk estimate, respectively, in those occurring prior to the camp and those occurring during the first month of the camp; 2) the comparison of lactate thresholds at pre- and post-training found 6 athletes (4 injured and 2 uninjured) with an improvement; considering the fixed anaerobic threshold of 4 mmoll -1 lactate between 8 injured and 8 non-injured rowers compared with the Mann-Whitney U test found no statistically significant difference; after the experiment, the doctor prescribed various methods of therapy and encouraged athletes to be more interested in rehabilitation in order to perform on an equal basis with non-injured athletes; and 3) a comparison of the opinions of the boating athletes in each type of boat concerning the benefit of sport science applications during the SUT camp compiled from 90 questionnaires which were returned. It was found that the topics of building more strength, creating more motivation, perceiving more systematic training, and getting specialized care were statistically significantly different depending on each boat type. These outcomes were notified to the Rowing-Canoeing Association of Thailand (RCAT) with a view to extending the use of the sport science model to new areas. The application of sport science is a small cog in a very large wheel where the players and the coaches are the key people. |
