Most common is some form of injury of the back. You can injure many muscels because a lot of muscels activate in rowing, but if you have proper rowing skills you shouldn't have any trouble with injuries, only with pain ;)
When rowing a boat, the rower converts chemical energy from their body into mechanical energy to propel the boat forward. As the oars move through the water, they displace water molecules, transferring some of their kinetic energy to the water. Some energy is also lost as heat due to friction between the oars and the water. Overall, energy is conserved, but some of it is dissipated in the form of heat.
Rowing is 'played' by racing boats agaisnt each other. In some races called "head races" the boats are set off one after the other and the boat that wins is the boat with the fastest time in a category. In regattas, the boats are raced in lanes and so it is whoever finishes the race first. There are also indoor rowing competitions where lots of people gather and compete on rowing machines (ergos) and depending on what their race is the winner is whoever got the greatest distance or the fastest time. There are many differnet categories for age, gender, weight and type of boat so each race is fair.
I believe you are thinking of a "rudder" Some boats typically of Asian design are indeed propelled by one stern-mounted oar. Rowing a dinghy or boat in this manner is called "Sculling".

There is sweep rowing where each rower has one oar either to the right or the left, and usually involves fours, eights, or pairs. Both fours and eights have a coxswain. The other type of rowing is sculling in which each rower will have two oars, that are smaller. Sculling boats are normally singles, pairs, and quads.

For rowing you need excellent muscular strength in addition to great cardiovascular health. Rowing is both anaerobic and aerobic so when training for races, you must train as parts of your body. Looking at a diagram of the typical stroke, you can see rowing uses virtually every muscle in your body especially your legs and abs.
Because some sports give injuries based on what they do and what they use. As an example in soccer we wear shin guards so we don't get kicked with cleats in the shin
There can be various reasons associated with this. Injuries, infections, fractured bone or tumor are some of them.
Common injuries associated with the tendon in the knee caused by biking include patellar tendinitis, also known as jumper's knee, and iliotibial band syndrome. These injuries can result from overuse, improper bike fit, or poor cycling technique. It is important to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage and promote healing.
712 people survived Titanic by leaving her in lifeboats (with some pulled from the water). None rowed to the US but all were rescued by Carpathia, a steamship.
Some negative points associated with football include the risk of injuries, particularly concussions, the potential for long-term health issues, such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and the culture of aggression and violence that can be perpetuated within the sport.
