Despite an improved aerobic endurance, still high attrition rates in initially low-fit recruits—results of a randomised controlled trial

Despite an improved aerobic endurance, still high attrition rates in initially low-fit recruits—results of a randomised controlled trial

Background: Low baseline fitness of recruits entering basic military training (BMT) is associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) and attrition from training. Objective: To determine the effects of a pre-training conditioning program (PCP) on aerobic endurance, incidence of...
