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 .

Epidemiological patterns of musculoskeletal injuries and physical training.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify rates of diagnosis-specific musculoskeletal injuries in U.S. Marine Corps recruits and to examine the association between patterns of physical training and these injuries . METHODS Subjects were 1,296 r and omly selected male Marine recruits , ages 17 to 28 yr , who reported to Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego for boot camp training between January 12 and September 14 , 1993 . Recruits were followed prospect ively through 12 wk of training for injury outcomes . Injury patterns were examined in relation to weekly volumes and types of vigorous physical training . RESULTS The overall injury rate was 39.6 % ( number of recruits injured/ population at risk ) , with 82 % of injuries occurring in the lower extremities . Overuse injuries accounted for 78 % of the diagnoses . The most frequent site of injury was the ankle/foot region ( 34.3 % of injuries ) , followed by the knee ( 28.1 % ) . Ankle sprains ( 6.2 % , N = 1,143 ) , iliotibial b and syndrome ( 5.3 % , N = 1,143 ) , and stress fractures ( 4.0 % , N = 1,296 ) were the most common diagnoses . Injury rates were highest during the weeks with high total volumes of vigorous physical training and the most hours of running and marching . Weekly injury rates were significantly correlated with hours of vigorous physical training ( overuse injuries r = 0.667 , P = 0.018 ; acute injuries r = 0.633 , P = 0.027 ) . CONCLUSIONS The results of this controlled epidemiological investigation indicate that volume of vigorous physical training may be an etiologic factor for exercise-related injuries . The findings also suggest that type of training , particularly running , and abrupt increases in training volume may further contribute to injury risk
