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 .
Prevention of common overuse injuries by the use of shock absorbing insoles
Sedentary individuals , particularly new military recruits , who start a physical training program have a substantial risk of developing an overuse injury of the lower limb . In this study we investigated the effect of neoprene insoles on the incidence of overuse injuries during 9 weeks of basic military training . The experimental group consisted of 237 r and omly selected new recruits , while 1151 recruits were the control group . Insoles were given to the experimental group and compliance was monitored . A panel of doctors documented and classi fied all injuries occurring during the 9 week period . A total of 54 ( 22.8 % ) and 237 ( 31.9 % ) injuries were reported in the experimental and control groups , re spectively . In both groups , the majority of injuries were overuse ( experimental group , 90.7 % ; control group , 86.4 % ) . The mean weekly incidence of total overuse injuries and tibial stress syndrome was significantly lower ( P < 0.05 ) in the experimental group . The mean incidence of stress fractures was lower in the experimental group but not significantly so ( 0.05 < P < 0.1 ) . This study shows that the incidence of total overuse injuries and tibial stress syndrome during 9 weeks of basic military training can be reduced by wearing insoles
