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 .

Effect on injuries of assigning shoes based on foot shape in air force basic training.
BACKGROUND This study examined whether assigning running shoes based on the shape of the bottom of the foot ( plantar surface ) influenced injury risk in Air Force Basic Military Training ( BMT ) and examined risk factors for injury in BMT . METHODS Data were collected from  BMT recruits during 2007 ; analysis took place during 2008 . After foot examinations , recruits were r and omly consigned to either an  experimental group ( E , n=1042 men , 375 women ) or a control group ( C , n=913 men , 346 women ) . Experimental group recruits were assigned motion control , stability , or cushioned shoes for plantar shapes indicative of low , medium , or high arches , respectively . Control group recruits received a stability shoe regardless of plantar shape .  Injuries during BMT were determined from outpatient visits provided from the Defense Medical Surveillance System . Other injury risk factors ( fitness , smoking , physical activity , prior injury , menstrual history , and demographics ) were obtained from a question naire , existing data bases , or BMT units . RESULTS Multivariate Cox regression controlling for other risk factors showed little difference in injury risk between the groups among men ( hazard ratio [E/C]=1.11 , 95 % CI=0.89 - 1.38 ) or women ( hazard ratio [E/C]=1.20 , 95 % CI= 0.90 - 1.60 ) . Independent injury risk factors among both men and women included low aerobic fitness and cigarette smoking . CONCLUSIONS This prospect i ve study demonstrated that assigning running shoes based on the shape of the plantar surface had little influence on injury risk in BMT even after controlling for other injury risk factors
