Abstract

Introduction: Entry-level military personnel experience high rates of musculoskeletal of injury related to their age and increase in training load. The higher injury rates for females in military roles requires strategies to manage this gender-specific risk. This study assessed the association between standard military fitness tests, gender and injury risk to anatomical sites in Army staff cadets (SCDT). A further aim was to provide clear cut-off points in BFA results for command decisions over management of injury risk.
