Inclusion Criteria
Both the general population and Australian Defence Force cohorts will be required to meet the same inclusion criteria allow. Matching both cohorts demographically and in terms of their physiological fitness will allow for comparison between cohorts. All participants will have to meet the following criteria:
Male
Aged 18-24
Injury free within the last 6 months
Able to complete ADF physical performance entry tests
All participants will be required to perform a familiarisation session and the testing protocol.
Exclusion Criteria
Not in the 18-24 age range
Injured during the last 6 months
Unable to complete the ADF physical performance entry test
