Primary findings indicate that there is ( a ) strong evidence that poor performance on a set distance run for time is a predictor for MSK-I risk in both genders ; ( b ) strong evidence that poor performance on timed shuttle runs is a predictor for MSK-I risk in males ; ( c ) moderate evidence in males and limited evidence in females that poor performance on a timed step test is a predictor of MSK-I risk ; and ( d ) limited or insufficient evidence that poor performance on the Cooper run test , maximal and submaximal aerobic grade d exercise tests , and the Conconi test are predictors of MSK-I risk in males or females or both .
Several measures of CRE are risk factors for training-related MSK-I in military and civilian athletic population s , indicating that CRE may be an important measure for MSK-I risk stratification
A systematic review of the association between physical fitness and musculoskeletal injury risk : part 1—cardiorespiratory endurance .
J Strength Cond Res 31(6 ) : 1744–1757 , 2017—Musculoskeletal injuries ( MSK-Is ) are a significant health problem for both military and athletic population s. Research indicates that MSK-I is associated with physical fitness ; however , the association between specific components of physical fitness and MSK-I in military and athletic population s has not been systematic ally examined .
Biomechanical and lifestyle risk factors for medial tibia stress syndrome in army recruits: a prospective study.
Medial tibial stress syndrome ( MTSS ) is a common injury in active population s and has been suggested to be a result of both biomechanical and lifestyle factors . The main aim of this study was to determine prospect ively whether gait biomechanics and lifestyle factors can be used as a predictor of MTSS development . British infantry male recruits ( n=468 ) were selected for the study .  Plantar pressure variables , lifestyle factors comprising smoking habit and aerobic fitness as measured by a 1.5 mile timed-run were collected on the first day of training .  Injury data were collected during the 26 week training period and incidence rate was 7.9 % ( n=37 ) . A logistic regression model for membership of the MTSS and non-MTSS groups was developed . An imbalance in foot pressure with greater pressure on the medial side than on the lateral side was the primary risk factor . Low aerobic fitness , as deduced from a 1.5 mile timed-run and smoking habit were also important , but were additive risk factors for MTSS . In conclusion , " poor " biomechanics were the strongest predictors of MTSS development but lifestyle factors were also important . The logistic regression model combining all three risk factors was capable of predicting 96.9 % of the non-injured group and 67.5 % of the MTSS group with an overall accuracy of 87.7 % . While the model has yet to be vali date d against an external sample and limitations exist with regards to the quality of the data collected , it is nonetheless suggested that the combined analysis of biomechanical and lifestyle factors has the potential to improve the prediction of MTSS
