Key Points

  • The research aims to assess sun protection behaviors and habits among Olympic-level rowers from various countries.
  • Cross-sectional survey of Olympic-level rowers from four countries
  • Assessment of sunscreen reapplication habits and self-examination practices
  • Evaluation of the impact of educational level on photoprotection adherence
  • Olympic-level rowers display low rates of sunscreen reapplication
  • Self-examination for skin health is infrequent among athletes
  • Educational level alone does not predict adherence to sun safety practices

Abstract

Olympic-level rowers exhibit suboptimal sun protection behaviors, with low rates of sunscreen reapplication and self-examination. Educational level alone may not predict appropriate photoprotection adherence in elite athletes. Targeted interventions are needed to promote comprehensive sun safety practices in this high-risk population.
