Loads carried by military populations can affect those of smaller stature, such as the average
female, due to the higher percentage of body weight the loads represent. Despite this, most …

Background This study evaluated cognitive workload in soldiers undertaking a long duration
march wearing different loads. Methods Military participants (n= 12 men and n= 10 women) …

Presented is a framework that uses pattern classification methods to incrementally morph
whole-body movement patterns to investigate how personal (sex, military experience, and …

Modular armour allows soldiers to adjust the level of coverage according to the threat level.
We hypothesized that armour configurations with lower levels of torso soft armour coverage …

Introduction Body armor and torso-borne equipment are critical to the survivability and
operational effectiveness of a soldier. Historically, in-service designs have been …

The overarching goal of this work was to develop novel data collection and analysis
methods to better understand how soldier burden affects the soldier survivability tradespace …

Introduction: Les armures modulaires (MSA) permettent aux soldats d'ajuster le niveau de
couverture de l'armure en fonction du niveau de menace. L'hypothèse émise est qu'un …

Soldiers should always keep their physical condition in good order. Cardiorespiratory
endurance, abdominal muscle strength and arm muscle strength are important aspects that …

Torso-borne equipment (TBE) such as body armour, load carriage vests, and rucksacks
negatively affect individual biomechanics and physiology. Injury risk, discomfort, and …

This work aimed to provide an evidence-base to inform the evaluation of future soldier
systems so that they minimise breathing restriction. The hypothesis that restrictions to …
