Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to identify the causes of skin injuries that affecting the rowers’ performance. [Subjects and Methods] The study was applied in July - September 2019, Port Said rowing club, Egypt. The study sample was divided to two fungi isolation sources the rower body source (hand, fingers press, between fingers, knee, foot, toes press, between toes and groin area) of fourteen rowers and the other source was the rowing boat units (oar, seat and foot-stretcher) of seven rowing boats. Conventional swabbing and the press culture techniques were used to isolate the pathogenic microorganisms and spread on the modified Sabouraud Dextrose agar media, immediately after training. The growing fungi were purified in pure cultures on slants of the same medium. Ten pure culture fungal slants were identified. [Results] Ten fungal isolates were isolated from twenty one different sources (rowers’ body and rowing boat units) with total count 4371 and 465 respectively. For rowers’ body maximum count was detected with between fingers (Right and Left), and minimum count was detected with groin area. While for rowing boat units’ maximum count was detected with foot-stretcher (Right and Left), and minimum count was detected with seat after 14 days of incubation. Conclusion: It appears that the rowers’ body source of fourteen rowers and the rowing boat units of seven rowing boats have different fungal species that may cause skin disease for the rowers.
