“…In conjunction with the positive effects of running on health and fitness, it is important to consider the risk of a running-related injury (RRI). Research has shown that the incidence of RRI is high; incidence rates of RRI vary from 30% to 79%, 3,[11][12][13][14]24,28 and from 7 to 59 RRIs per 1000 hours of running. 3,11,12,19 Most RRIs are overuse injuries of the lower extremity.…”

Running is a sport practiced by many individuals to improve cardiorespiratory function, health, and well-being. In conjunction with the positive effects of running on health and fitness, it is important to consider the risk of a running-related injury (RRI). Research has shown that the incidence of RRI is high; incidence rates of RRI vary from 30% to 79%, 3,[11][12][13][14]24,28 and from 7 to 59 RRIs per 1000 hours of running. 3,11,12,19 Most RRIs are overuse injuries of the lower extremity. 8 The causes of these overuse RRIs are multifactorial. 8 Four factors have been related consistently to running injuries: (1) lack of running experience, (2) previous injury, (3) running to compete, and (4) excessive weekly running distance. 26 It is estimated that 60% of all RRIs can be attributed to training errors, that is, running too much too soon. 8 Little research has been performed on the prevention of RRI in the running population. Several controlled studies on Background: Although running has positive effects on health and fitness, the incidence of a running-related injury (RRI) is high. Research on prevention of RRI is scarce; to date, no studies have involved novice runners.

“…Several civilian studies (40,115,147,168) and observational military investigations (117,250) have identified higher running mileage as an injury risk factor. An obvious strategy is to reduce the amount of running performed by service members although there are concerns about how this would influence aerobic fitness.…”

ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)Attrition is the failure of an enlisted service member to be retained in service v/ithin the first term of enlistment. This paper emphasizes health/fitness-related aspects of attrition but also covers demographic and psychosocial factors. Overall 3-year military attrition steadily rose fi-om 26% in 1985 to 31% in 1995. Demographic and psychosocial risk factors for attrition include lower educational attaiiunent, female gender, White ethnicity, lower Armed Forces Qualification Test scores, lower moral character (less conformance to laws, rules and regulations), moral waivers, pre-service job instability, and less time in the Delayed Entry Program. The age-attrition relationship appears to be bimodal with higher attrition when youngest, decreasing in 19-23 year olds, and rising again after that. Attrition for mental health reasons is associated with pre-service physical/sexual abuse, previous mental health counseliag, previous treatment with medication, previous psychiatric hospitalization, low motivation, pessimism toward training, depression, lack of self-reliance, and referral to a mental health facility. Attrition is also higher among those waivered for hearing problems, skin disorders, back disorders, and prior knee injuries. Other health-related risk factors include pre-service injury, injuries during basic training, a history of prior cigarette smoking, low physical activity prior to service, greater body weight, higher body mass index and lower physical fitness. Strategies to reduce attrition include prescreening by biographical questionnaires, compensatory screening, individual behavioral health counseling, and realistic job previews. Senior leadership initiatives have a powerful effect on attrition. Attrition also appears to be reduced by increasing physical fitness prior to basic training, the Physical Training and Rehabilitation Program, and the Pre-Initial Entry Training Program (for National Guard). ."""""""""""""""""""." -lnitial Entry Training Program,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,..... For the purposes of this paper, attrition was defined as the failure of an enlisted service member to be retained in service during their contracted first term of enlistment. This manuscript reviews a wide range of factors influencing attrition but the primary interest is in health-related factors. SUBJECT TERMS PATTERN OF ATTRITION OVER TIME AND REASONS FOR ATTRITION.Overall 3-year military attrition steadily rose from 26% in 1985 to 31% in 1995. About 1/3 of attrition occurred in the first 6 months of service, about V2 within the first year, and the remainder in the subsequent 2 year period. Separations within the first 6 months of service were associated with performance proble...

“…A key question in developing optimal physical training programs for units with a major load carriage missions is the amount of road marching to include into the total program. Some road marching is probably needed to meet specificity requirements (35) while excessive marching may be costly in terms of training time and increased risk of injury (27,33). Thus, the purpose of the present study was to examine the monthly frequency of load carriage training needed to improve performance on a strenuous road march.…”
