A Functional Movement Screen Profile Of An Australian State Police Force: A Retrospective Cohort Study, Robin Marc Orr, Rodney Pope, Michael Stierli, Ben Hinton

Background Police officers are required to perform dynamic movements in unpredictable environments, the results of which can lead to injury. Early identification of poor movement patterns of a police population, and potential sub groups within this population, may provide opportunities to treat and minimise injury risks. The aim of this study was to profile the functional movement capabilities of an Australian state police force and potential sub groups through a retrospective cohort study. Methods Retrospective data from an Australian State Police Force were provided for analysis (♂ n = 1155, mean (±SD) age = 31.34 ± 8.41 years: ♀ n …

Metabolic Fitness As A Predictor Of Injury Risk In Conditioned Military Trainees Undertaking An Arduous Field Training Exercise, N. Meigh, Michael Steele, Rob Orr Dec 2012

Metabolic Fitness As A Predictor Of Injury Risk In Conditioned Military Trainees Undertaking An Arduous Field Training Exercise, N. Meigh, Michael Steele, Rob Orr

Rob Marc Orr

Musculoskeletal injuries reduce the ability for military forces to train new personnel. Metabolic fitness has been used to predict injury risk in new Australian Army trainees. The purpose of the present study was to examine the validity of using metabolic fitness to determine injury risk in conditioned military trainees completing an arduous field training exercise.
