Rowing is a form of boat racing, competed either individually or in teams of upto eight. The sport was introduced to the Asian Games in 1982 in the New Delhi Games.

The most typical types are sweep or sweep-oar rowing. This is when each rower has one oar, held with both hands. This form racing involves another team member who steers the boat. They are called coxswain. A race which includes a coxswain is called a coxed race whereas the one without is known as coxless.
