简要总结
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an exercise-based injury-prevention program on the incidence of musculoskeletal injury, motor performance and psychosocial status. 36 Estonian Military Academy cadets were randomly assigned into either an intervention or control group. The intervention group followed a neuromuscular exercise-based injury-prevention warm-up program, 3 times per week for 6 months. The control group continued with the usual warm-up. The main outcome measure was injury incidence during the study period. Additionally, evaluation of isokinetic lower-extremity strength, postural sway, physical fitness and psychosocial status was included pre- and post-intervention.
详细描述
Injury incidence
The primary outcome of interest in our study was incidence of musculoskeletal injury during the 6-month study period. Injury tracking was performed through the Estonian Defence Forces medical database. Since participants receive health care through the military health care system, any musculoskeletal condition severe enough to seek treatment from a medical provider is registered. Additionally, participants were asked to recall any musculoskeletal conditions at 3 and 6 months from the beginning of the study in order to catch potential injuries not reported to a military medical provider, or for which they might have obtained treatment from a nonmilitary medical care provider.
Motor performance testing
Prior to motor performance testing, baseline body mass (kg) and height (cm) were measured. Based on these body mass index (BMI) was calculated (BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)²). Before testing motor performance participants performed a 10-min individual warm-up - jogging, and range of motion and bodyweight strength exercises.
