Rowing is a water sport where individuals or teams propel a boat using oars. It can be done on various bodies of water, including rivers, lakes, and oceans. Rowing can be competitive or recreational, with different types of boats, such as singles, doubles, and eights, depending on the number of rowers. In competitive rowing, races are often held over a standard distance, typically 2,000 meters. Athletes must work together to maintain balance and synchronize their strokes for optimal speed. Rowing is also a popular fitness activity, providing a full-body workout that enhances strength and endurance while being low-impact on the joints.
