Abstract
Injuries that occur during basic military training for army recruitments are a common problem affecting large populations in terms of operational capacity and cost of medical treatment. This review seeks to provide an overview of risk factors associated with training-related injuries in army recruits and look at measures that can be taken to reduce these risks. Important identified elements include physical preparedness, load, task distribution, and specific interventions, including neuromuscular and resistance training programs. Therefore, by managing these factors, the occurrence and intensity of musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) can be reduced so the soldier can perform better and have better outcomes in training.
