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 .
Cigarette smoking, physical fitness, and injuries in infantry soldiers.
Reliable data on the impact of physical training on light infantry units in terms of injuries and time loss are sparse . This study evaluated a light infantry unit ( n = 181 ) prospect ively and followed it throughout one year of infantry training and operations . Fifty-five percent of the soldiers ( n = 101 ) experienced one or more injuries . Eighty-eight percent of the injuries were training-related conditions , which result ed in 1,103 days of limited duty . Lower extremity overuse injuries were the most common type of injury documented . Fractures accounted for the greatest number of days of limited duty . Risk factors for training-related injuries identified by this study were cigarette smoking , high percentage of body fat , extremely high or low body mass index , low endurance levels , and low muscular endurance levels ( sit-ups ) . Logistic regression showed that cigarette smoking and low endurance levels were independent risk factors for training injuries . These data indicate that the incidence of training-related injuries in infantry units is high . A number of modifiable injury risk factors were identified , suggesting that many of these injuries may be preventable
